Hey gems, With 2020 officially kicked off I thought I would let you guys in on my resolutions! This year I feel like resolutions mean a little more since it's a whole new decade everything is bigger and better! My first resolution involves cooking. I am surrounded by amazing cooks, which is amazing, but also means that I actually don't have to cook as often and therefore... I suck. I love food but not the prepping aspects. So one of my resolutions is to find a love for the kitchen space and slowly but surely find recipes that inspire me. Next up is one that I have every year, working out. I know this is quite generic but I tend to have phases of months of great workouts and then months of nothing, then back in and out of it. I want to  be more consistent overall with my workouts, even if they are less frequent but more consistent! Third is a really big one for me and it is to truly find a balance, a meditation, a way of getting away from my thoughts. When I start overt...

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...

Hey there my gems, Long time no talk! It definitely has been a busy time as the school year is wrapping up. How are you all been doing? I have been super busy but the good news is: TODAY IS MY OFFICIAL LAST DAY! As everything is coming to an end, this is much more then just another end of semester. For those of you who don't know, I'm graduating this May! Graduation is a huge milestone, but it has been extremely bitter sweet for me. Not only have I always loved school but I also really enjoyed University specifically. My program, classes and teachers, were all amazing, which makes it so much harder to say goodbye. Although this last semester was the hardest yet, it also had my internship which was a highlight and I got a job offer! So many great things have happened this semester and although it's been a long one, I'm so proud of myself for not only the last semester but the last three years. I'm so excited tot start my new job in PR, get into a new routine, ...

Hey there my sleepy gems, I've definitely always considered myself a morning person, but this last month has kicked my butt! I've even been making sure I go to bed by a decent hour, but always wake up feeling like I could sleep another 12 hours. Mornings have been very rough especially since my work hours and school hours are so different. Some mornings I wake up at 5 am, others at 9 am and well, never usually later than that. I've made a few changes in the morning that have really started to make huge difference in how I feel and wake up! Don't get me wrong trying to get enough sleep is still a struggle but here are some things that I do to help me wake up in the morning and feel fresh! Face Wash! Okay so this might be obvious to some, but I've never been a person who showers or washes her face in the morning! I'm an evening shower person, but I found that washing my face, even just rinsing it with cold water, has an instant wake up effect. The cool water...
