When we lose someone close to us, we feel as though the world should stop. Unfortunately, life just does not operate that way. The dishes still have to be washed, the dogs need to be fed, and the daily grind of work has expectations that have to be met. Our society is always so busy, … Continue reading Time
Beautiful Breakdown
Image via Google I think about all the times I used to cry over bullshit (no other way to word it, sorry) before my mom's death. At the time those things seemed worth crying over, but now it is all irrelevant. From the time of her diagnosis nearly two years ago to present, crying just … Continue reading Beautiful Breakdown
Therapy
In our society the word "therapy" is becoming more familiar. It used to be viewed as taboo and probably still is for some, but with the increase of anxiety/depression in young adults it is more common now. I myself have been seeing a therapist for about four years now. When I first started going to … Continue reading Therapy
Grief
Sometimes, I cannot believe it has been a month since mom took her final breath. It feels just like yesterday when I received the news in the middle of the night. Grief is a weird thing. Sometimes it feels like everything is going to be okay, then other moments there is nothing but doom and … Continue reading Grief
A love letter to mom
Sometimes, it all feels like a bad dream. The reality of not being able to hug you, hear your laugh, or visit you every day is a heartbreak like no other. You were my first love and best friend. Life will never be the same without you. Especially because a part of me went with … Continue reading A love letter to mom
Hope, Faith, & Love
CANCER SUCKS is the first thing that comes to mind when writing this. It really does! When my mom was diagnosed with a brain tumor last week I was in pure SHOCK. It did not feel real and my heart felt like it shattered into a million pieces. Since then I have still been processing … Continue reading Hope, Faith, & Love
Short & Simple
Since my last blog post was about ponchos. I think I have covered that style for the most part. So today my photos include another style of poncho. I love how colorful the poncho below is. It was a steal from TJ Maxx last year. I paired it with a simple black dress, over the … Continue reading Short & Simple

Tis the season for warm and cozy clothing! Speaking of cozy clothing ponchos are perfect for this time of year. They are especially nice if you do not care to wear a bulky jacket. And it can create a fun look. A basic item that goes good under a poncho is a simple long sleeved … Continue reading Poncho Me
Velvet with flare
So with the holiday season in full effect. You are probably looking for that perfect outfit to wear to your annual Christmas party. Am I right? I know I am. Christmas time is a good excuse to get dolled up and wear that classic red lipstick that you may not usually wear (in my case … Continue reading Velvet with flare
Flaunt your camo
Camoflouge is a pattern that you either love or hate. In my experience there is no in between with it. I happen to love it. It is a fun print to mix and match with an outfit. Maybe some people think it is too masculine or something. But if that happens to be reason why … Continue reading Flaunt your camo
