Chronicling the following: Unicorn Space, 75 Holistic, and being a new mom to two

 I feel like it's easy to create goals, but a lot harder to stick to them! You get caught up in the daily grind or something *happens* and you never get back into it (whatever IT may be). 

I had a baby almost 3 months ago and I also have a 3 year old, so life is a little hectic and crazy. I also lost my dad about a year and a half ago and that was a huge mental load in many ways. Even though my baby is still young, I want to really start reaching the goals that I set for myself in order to 1. set a good example for my family, 2. be the best mama I can be (and I can only do that if I am participating in some self-care and making time for myself) and 3. well I mean who doesn't like accomplishing things? 4. be set up for success once life gets "easier" 

To start, I am going to add journaling to my unicorn space goals. I want to do more than that, but I think it's a good way to get my creative juice flowing and I can figure out what I would like to do next. Ideas include: felt crowns/crafts/embroidery, cross stitch, learning guitar, preschool program, and capsule wardrobe program. I've dabbled in all of them and enjoy them, but I never really focus enough time on anything to produce something worth sharing. We'll see. I also think some sort of dance would be fun, like an aerobic style dance class or something. 

Also, I am doing a 75 holistic challenge hosted by someone I follow on Instagram. It will help me be more intentional with my diet and lifestyle. It will basically set me up for success with my self-care goals because it will get me journaling everyday, reading, drinking more water, exercising, and eating well. 

I'm also planning on doing a 9x9 capsule challenge and possibly doing a challenge put on by the company woolx where you wear the same thing for either 30 or 100 days! I get spit up on a lot right now though, so that isn't so practical for me at the moment. 

All of this to say, I'm excited!! And I hope that writing about it will hold me more accountable. But knowing me, I'll write 1-3 blogs about it, then it'll fall off the radar. Maybe things will be different this 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...

this is whats up

So...I recently moved into a loft apartment with my boyfriend, Drew, as most of you already know. We've been here a little over 2 months now and have gotten most of our necessities for the place, so ive moved onto decorating. Each of my rooms sort of have themes so far. My bathroom was the first thing i bought anything for and it is a red victorian sorta type theme. I've pretty much completed the bathroom/sink area and just need a "jewlery tree" and maybe a shelving/basket unit in the cabinets below the sink... My kitchen is just green. So far...i guess my "themes" are just colors haha, but whatever. It's so tiny that its pretty difficult to decorate in it, so i'm going to make some cute magnets for the fridge and on the other side of the kitchen i want to get some bar stools. Once i do that maybe ill add a few small decos on the bar counter. i dont spend much time in there anyway....haha! Okay now for the hard parts....living room and bedroom! i...
