sheeeee's baaaaaackkk!

Well, hello again. You thought I was never coming back, didn't you? Well, surprise! Here I am! It's been a whirlwind since that last time I blogged...but I realize that this is a great place for me to be inspired, even though it is me inspiring myself! I enjoyed reading back over the past year to see what I have accomplished, and although I had a really hard 6 months since I've been on here...I am still going fairly strong.
I did get over my back injury and out of my social funk, which is awesome but I ended up falling down my stairs AGAIN back in July/August? and sprained my ankle. That was delightful. Luckily, even though I had a hard time walking for a few weeks, limping made it possible to work and be social as well :).
I also had a little promotion at work and have been doing administrative duties once or twice a week with a pretty nice pay raise. I've really enjoyed it and felt that it has brought some organization to my job. It makes me wonder if I should push for management in my near future! With a new location opening up, the possibilities are endless.  Maybe not endless, but there ARE possibilities.
One amazing accomplishment I have achieved is attending school. I am taking three classes; Statistics, Anthropology and Library Information Resources. Those three classes are my ticket to getting my AA in Social and Behavioral Sciences. What I will do with that degree, I do not know...but having one makes me feel a million times richer and better about myself. So far, I am doing fantastically in my classes, I have an A in two of them and a B in one....and I'm hoping I can get it up to an A by the end of the semester. We are about halfway through!
I've also been doing a small amount of crafting here and there. Right now I am working on putting fabric flowers around my mirror. I just finished another project making my mom a necklace and making myself a bracelet. I plan on doing more, as soon as I get the motivation! Other than crafting, I've been trying to vamp up my style. I have been slowly but surely getting rid of clothes I still had/have from high school ( I KNOW RIDICULOUS, but hey what can I say they aren't ripped up and they fit me.....OK but yes, out of style, anyway..) and buying new stuff.
Now, I just need to start working out. Eating healthy has made me lose about 0 pounds, so I gotta get that cardio going ASAP. My goal is to start working out as soon as my ankle is fully healed. I would love to take a yoga and a pilates class at the JC(If they offer a zumba class, I'll be joining that as well...) because they are WAY SUPER cheaper than going to a studio ($20 for 5 months rather than $100 a month) and going on jogs a couple times a week, hoping to have time to do it 3-4 times a week. Now, writing this down makes me feel like I kinda HAVE to do it...so hopefully this works :)
I know super long and boring, but hey I gotta tell someone about my awesome life;)
Until next time

I think I might blog about it

I am feeling bloggy today! I'm about ready to fire up the instagram (and dare I say start up my tiktok?) again and in about a month I'll be making the switch to my fall/winter capsule wardrobe. But here's the thing...I'm having SO much fun in my current spring/summer one! I'm pretty sure I am going to combine them for a somewhat larger than average, but longer lasting, capsule. A lot of people switch theirs every season. I tend to switch it up every 6 months. Now it may be more of a "this is my wardrobe forever and everytime I buy something new I get rid of something with holes or stains" wardrobe.  Anyway- My incredibly loose formula for building a capsule is as follows:  Figure out my color scheme! I did a brown base for my last fall/winter and navy base for my spring/summer. I think that this time around I will do a navy base for my fall/winter, but keep in some of the brown as a secondary color. I also always have a cool off-white as my second base col...

Time for my yearly check-in!

 Ok so- (have you ever seen that video about the end of the world from ebaum's world? well this was said like that guy....)  Alright the first thing is first - I have an 18 month old daughter and am hoping to get pregnant again in the (near?) future. This means that I am living in that postpartum mama bod world and am not mentally ready to try and get slimmer yet. Maybe I never will! I have a somewhat apple/rectangle shape and lots of belly!! I am also petite in height. This makes it SO hard to find clothes that fit AND look good on me! I have searched high and low for jeans that fit and also don't give me a muffin top or fall down my narrow hips. Anyway, I have made a few purchases for some clothes that will be more flattering for my figure- finger's crossed. This means peplum tops, slacks, high waisted leggings/skinny jeans when they fit. I also have NO MONEY! So, some of my purchases have had to be through amazon and old navy in order to be able to afford clothing for my...

Deodorant Review!

For quite a few years actually I have been on the hunt for the perfect deodorant. I decided to go with a natural and cruelty-free deodorant instead of an antiperspirant around 4 or 5 years ago. Deodorant is used to reduce odor using antibacterial ingredients and antiperspirant reduces odor and sweat by closing sweat ducts. Aluminum is the ingredient found in antiperspirants to block underarm sweat, and 4 to 5 years ago I believed that it could cause breast cancer and Alzheimer's. I have since researched it on my own, and found that while there is no conclusive evidence that the toxins found in most antiperspirants and deodorants are harmful to our health, why risk it? At the end of the day, I want to use as many natural & cruelty-free products and consume as much unprocessed foods as I possibly can.  An easy way to do that is by switching out my beauty products for ones that have as few ingredients as possible and GOOD ingredients that are all natural.  All natural a...
