Hey There 2020!


Oh 2019, what a year! I have to admit, this year taught me a ton, left me speechless at times (I know, stunning right?!), and with some gains as well as losses! I learned how to love myself and see who I am alone, I have ended relationships that were overdue to be ended, and I became a stronger coach with Beachbody! I gained a booty thanks to my amazing workout program and learned how to eat properly! 2019 gave me the strength I needed to end a toxic relationship that was disguised as something much different. The year had it's ups and downs, as does every year, but this one in particular helped me learn what I like and where my future goals lie. I experienced things I thought I wanted and realized where I am heading is exactly where I need to be.

Now that that's over, reminiscing can be fun but I am ready for a new chapter! Oh 2020, do I have something planned for you! I am entering this year on a very different foot, starting today with organizing my goals and strategies. I am wanting to grow significantly this year with my Beachbody crew, with my fitness goals, and with my financial situation. In February, I will be taking a huge step by moving in with a girlfriend of mine. This is first time I will be living with a roommate that is not a significant other!!!  I am looking forward to it!
Speaking of goals, the best way to have them is keep them tangle and attainable as well as making yourself accountable to stay on track! Which is why I have listed them below! This way, I can look back in one year and see my growth with achieving them!

Goals of 2020 (in no particular order):
-Move out into the condo with my roomie!
-Kick ass on the TEAS entrance exam for nursing school
-Apply and (hopefully) get accepted into my desired nursing program
-Build a good amount of savings
-Travel to: NOLA, Nashville, and one place out of the country
-Celebrate my birthday in Nashville
-Go to a Florida Gator game
-Go to a New Orleans Saints game
-Finish Morning Meltdown 100, The Work, and Barre Blend
-Food prep!!! Portion control goals!!
-Workout as many days as I can!!
-Blog at least every two weeks!
-Keep my A1C under 7.0
-Take at least one day a week to myself for self-care, example: go out for drink alone, eat dinner alone, go to the beach or do something outdoors alone, mani/pedi.
-Less social media, put the phone down and experience life

That's a pretty good start if you ask me! I am looking forward to a healthy and happy 2020! I hope everyone has a good idea of their goals and what they want to achieve!!

Tropic Like it's Hot!

Oh Florida summers... Goodness, is it hot?! Growing up in Fort Myers, you lived for Disney Original Movie marathons, ice cream, pool day and that rainy 3pm nap. That was life for us! After living in Central Florida for a little bit, I will say there is no better cure my Summer woes except for being in Fort Myers. Don't get me wrong, Mt Dora was beautiful but there is just something about my hometown! This week was the second at the new dermatology job, I'm slowly but surely learning the lingo. I have been in the medical field 10 years, but this specialty has a language all it's own! It's hard to keep your confidence, this position is more hands on involving anesthesia and sutures, but I'll get there! I will say though, I truly despise being the "new girl". Everyone asks the same question, patients and peers are a tad nervous since you're a stranger and all they have to go off of for your experience is your word. It's intimidating but adds to

Slap on a Little Lipstick and Pull Yourself Together!

It's hump day!  Halfway to the weekend, which usually means nothing to me since I work at a restaurant in a massive theme park! However, this weekend I have one of my closest friends coming to visit and I couldn't be more excited!! She was behind the motivation for me to start this blog, so yall be thankful! Heading into work, I wanted to post just a little something! First off, this blog is means more to me than just an outlet to express myself. It is becoming a way of releasing confidence that I've built up within myself in the last few years. I used to be the girl who threw on whatever slightly matched and didn't give a second glance at my roots or makeup! If I put eyeliner on, I would stun my beau at the time! Since then, I've grown to love myself and learn what makes me feel beautiful, now I want to share that knowledge! Quite wise, haha that's literally laughable! But if some person is taking time out of their day to read this, then I must be

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine.
