Perspective Isn’t 2020
See what I did there? Because it’s 2020, and perspective is difficult to– never mind. I’ve learned a lot this year, but one reality smacking me in the face daily is how much people seem to disagree on. I’m hoping one page we’re all on is that 2020 has been hard. Regardless of what side…

Summer Skincare Favorites
Hiiiiii! It’s Wednesday! And I promised you posts on Wednesdays (and now Saturdays) about a decade ago, and here I am to make good on my word. Everything has been so heavy the past few months, so I wanted to make a comeback with something easy breezy and share my summer skincare favorites. Little bit…

Real It ‘Til You Feel It
This is my new, somewhat lame, but still rhyming take on fake it ’til you make it. And no, I’m not bashing fake it ’til you make it. It works wonders in a number of situations that include, but are not limited to: Being nice to someone who gets on your nerves because you don’t…

2020: A Lesson In Intentionality
Alternative titles include but are not limited to: 2020: WTF? 2020: Let Me Out 2020: Where is 2021, already?

I’m off to a great start on that 2020 goal of reading 12 books and have already finished my first of the year, The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank. I’ve had this book for a seriously long time (I got it at Borders… are they done for?), and dug it out…

New Year, Same Me (but better, I hope)
New year, time for some resolutions. Mental health, first. That’s easier said than done because I truly believe that good mental health involves pretty consistent commitment to all of the quintessential resolutions. So, in putting my mental health first, I’m also prioritizing the following goals and living by the cliche, “You have to love yourself…

Blogmas Day 24: ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas
Merry Christmas Eve to you all! This is a repost from last year because I liked this cover of mine so much *toots own horn.* Today has been kind of crazy with a sick Chuck and an injured dad, and just things generally not going as planned. But, in the spirit of the good, old-fashioned…

Blogmas Day 23: 5 Things I Learned in 2019
We’re just two days out people, I repeat, just two days out. I’d actually planned to film a funny baking video today (that I’ll save for later), but dang it, editing is hard. That, and I have a killer headache/stomachache combo and am just not feeling it. We’re all about to be inundated with resolutions…

Blogmas Day 21: The Gift of Authenticity
Let’s talk authenticity. Authenticity. Real. Genuine. Buzzwords we hear a ton in the age of social media and everything in your face all the time. Being hashtag authentic has taken social platforms and brand marketing by storm and we’ve seen a ton of positivity come from the #real movement, like… The #aeriereal campaign, where we are finally…
