Pursuing A Dream

Big exciting news on the blog today! After lots of thinking, dreaming, praying and planning, I have officially jumped into pursuing my dream career! I will be taking my background in communication and be getting further education in nutrition to help sharpen my skills and take it from a love, to a profession. To be able to fully focus on my dream, I have left my current full time job to pursue this journey.  Is it terrifying? Yes. Do I sometimes have a heart attack thinking about the cost and sacrifice this will take? Yes. Is it insanely exciting and a dream come true? Yes yes yes!!!


What does this mean for the blog?  Well you can expect more activity for one! I will have more time to dedicate to my recently neglected blog. So buckle your seat belts folks, you’re going to get an earful ( or would it be an eyeful?)! However, if nutrition isn't your thing and you are getting ready to eliminate my blog from your line up, have no fear! I will still be blogging about my other loves as well ( fashion, fitness and beauty products)!

Are you ready to jump in with me on this crazy adventure?

Cabin Fever!

A huge snow storm swept through the Midwest Sunday bringing sub zero temperatures and more than a foot of snow. This has kept me and the hubby stuck in our apartment for the past few days. After awhile, this can make you go bonkers! To help banish my cabin fever ( anyone else remember that song "Cabin Fever" from the Muppet movie, "Muppet Treasure Island"? If not, refresh your memory here), I had an online shopping bonanza! Below are a few items that I am crushing over.

1. Eye Makeup 2. Top 3. Glasses 4. Lipstick 5. Jacket

Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's 2014! I have to admit, it was a little hard to let go of 2013. It was a great year, I married my best friend, moved into a new apartment, and I really feel I began to come into my own as a young adult. Today I sat down to write out my resolutions for 2014, and while I have a few ( very exciting!) aspirations and goals, I really want to make sure I experience life this next year. And that's what it’s really about, isn't it? When a year is over, we don't remember the checklists we accomplished, we remember how we felt.

I am going to embrace this next year in a way I never have. I am going to spend less time checking off lists and worrying about bills and futures and 401k's. I am going to act my age ( I am only 24 for goodness sake) and spend less time trying to be a "grown up" . This year I am promising myself that I will spend more time exploring, loving, laughing and listening to my inner self. I will spend more time enjoying the little things in every day and not get bogged down by the big picture.

You’ve been great 2013, but I have a feeling 2014 just might be the best year yet!

Happy New Year everyone!
