Thirty, flirty, and thriving

Written with a glass of vino in hand and Netflix on the TV. While looking for something to watch to pass the time until Michael gets off shift and I go into work tomorrow, I find 13 Going on 30.

In less than 2 months, I'll be entering the last years of my 20s. When I pictured this time in my head about 10 years ago, it looked completely different. Now mind you, I have lived and learned more than most people that I know. I almost completed nursing school until the diagnosis of diabetes, I have had more unique family drama which has taught me a lot, I have had a variety of relationships which has taught me how to be appreciative for the current one that I am in.

However, I did not realize that I would be where I am less than two months of my 29th birthday. So where should I be? This is the question that I have been asking myself for the last couple of months. Should I be a career head honcho? Should I be a mom with children? Should I be content? Only time will tell. However, I feel like as I continue on into my 30s things will make more sense. It has been a tough 2017. I pray that my 29th year brings me something a little closer to clarity.

Goodnight and Happy Hump Day!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Lil' Tid Bits

Happy FriYay!!    All week I was trying to think of the best ways to show different tutorials. I toyed with the idea of a YouTube channel, I actually have one video currently posted that I need to properly edit. But for the most part, I truly believe that I am currently enjoying just photos so you'll have to be patient until my skills get a bit of fine tuning!  We tend to have "Crest Kid" smiles! I have my Beau home until Monday and then our insanity starts again. Being that this is still semi-new in our household, I still struggle with being alone a majority of the time. I believe that while you're alone, you're forced to face your own demons that normally aren't on the surface. Being busy has been the easiest way for me to avoid dealing with some personal issues. But, as it was evidently bound to, my mind finally place all these things in my focus and I was forced to face them. I don't know if this is just me, but independence has always had s...

Save the Fave!

Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle and a whole lotta Jesus! Every summer and spring, I get a tad mani obsessed! Glitter, pastels, and accent nails take over from the matte, jewel tones, and dark colors of winter and fall! I love doing my own nails, mainly because I'm a control freak and I hate bubbles, smudges, creases, and any possibility that would cause me to tell the manicurist to redo each flaw. I think they would kill me, haha! I absolutely love sparkles and accent nails! I know this isn't a new trend and people have since moved on to nail ombrees but I'm still doing the accent, surprise surprise I'm not up on the new trends! Why change if I still love it?! One polish that is my summer go-to is this sparkle from Sephora by OPI, "Meet Me at the Disco". It is the perfect pairing to almost every spring/summer shade. Since I am a true Florida girl, spring and summer tend to be one in the same, as are the shades! We only really have three seasons:...
