Real Life

Hi gems,
It's been a while since I've written and it feels so good to be back. I have continuously been trying to find the time but unfortunately life has been so hectic that the blog has fallen behind! 

I wanted to loop you all into the struggles that I have been dealing with recently. The truth is, November kicked my butt. I was exhausted constantly, moody, always waiting or a new day because every day had challenge after challenge and every time I thought things were getting better I would dip back into a bad period. One example would be about mid-month, it was Monday and I told myself that this as the fresh start, put last week behind me and start fresh. Next thing I knew I was slipping on a patch of black ice and hurting myself. Then I got sick, then I got sick again and on and on. There seemed to be no end to the long days, emotional evenings and constant anxiety. 

It has definitely been a challenging few weeks and I finally feel like I am on the tail end of it, hopefully the holidays get me in a fresh mood and read for the New Year. The difficulty has been balance, which I have spoken about before on my blog but lately it feels like my life consists of work-eat-sleep-repeat and that has led me to a drained mental space. I need to push myself beyond the fatigue and live life a little more, take quiet time for me, and start enjoying my hobbies again. 

I am so thankful for my family and friends who have been the greatest through this tough time, the tears and long evening rants. There was nothing better than coming home at the end of these long, difficult days and long commutes to a warm, safe and comfortable place. 

I am starting to feel more and more back to normal, ready to take on the world and ready to take better care of myself. I want to not only focus on my mental health more in 2020 but also my physical and overall health as I continue to get sick constantly and it is such an annoyance!
I’m really excited to get back into the swing of things, blog and happiness both included so stay tuned for more blogs coming soon, new adventures and a lot of happy!!

New Year Update!

-
 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

She's a wife!

Hi gems, after soooo much time away from the blog I am back with a life update! I have now been married for a month and had the most incredible honeymoon! We are just getting back home and resetting into a routine. The switch back to reality isn't an easy one but we are still on cloud nine from the events of the summer so that certainly helps! So with that said I think we are well overdo on a life update! Your girl is welcoming fall after a month in Europe and an incredible summer! Not only did my bestfriends get married in the most magical day, but we got to have a summer filled with so many celebrations. Summer 2024 will go down in the history books for sure as a summer of love. I also had another major life change earlier in the summer, I changed job! After five years at an agency, with the people I loved and who taught me so much. I got an opportunity at a company that is HUGE and rated a top company to work for. The job itself and benefits made it a deal I could not turn down....
