My alarm goes off and the sun is barely up. The voice in my head tells me it is OK to hit snooze or turn the alarm off and sleep in today. I tell myself it is not a big deal to push my work out to the evening. But then reality reminds me that if I don’t get out of bed at 6 AM, the day will give me a million reasons to skip my work out by time 6 PM rolls around. I grab my pre-workout on my night st...

When someone dies it is easy for us to lock our memories away, thinking that it is just too hard to talk about them anymore. Often times, we tell ourselves that it didn’t happen and that they are just on a very long vacation…a vacation that they will never return from. We can never tell ourselves that we will never see them again because we cannot believe that its true. When someone ... Read More »

Last year I blogged about the wreath I made for our front door because it was one of the most easiest, cheapest DIY’s I’ve ever done. (And there’s nothing like greeting people who walk into your home with ‘easy’ and ‘cheap’, right?) But this is the best kind of easy and cheap because it doesn’t look it AT ALL. And you can make small changes to it so ... Read More »
It happens all the time and it pisses me off! People who don’t want to (or shouldn’t be allowed to) get pregnant, do, and those who want to get pregnant, can’t! Why! Why? WHY!? You see people who are unfit to be parents, juggling six kids they can’t afford, and it’s sickening. But yet an educated, mature, couple who are capable and ready to have a baby, can’t. Then there’s this scenario, th... Read More »
My blemishes are only skin deep. My skin won’t stop me because…. I hate it, but It’s mine. It’s the only one I’ll ever have. I have extremely sensitive skin. My hair touches my neck, and I break out in blotchy red spots. Wearing a necklace? Blotchy red spots. Give someone a hug? You guessed it! Blotchy red spots! Recently I went to Hawaii to see family.
