Hello! Whether you have stumbled upon this blog by mistake, or came to it by reference of a friend, relative, or because you know me, I welcome you. This is where I will be updating my health and weight loss adventure, while also discussing beauty products and fashion.
The idea of blogging is far from new to me. I started a tumblr back when I was a junior in high school. Alas, that blog has been deleted, never to see daylight again (and I promise, that's NOT a bad thing). I decided to start this blog up to help keep myself accountable during my weight loss journey. I have lost 30 pounds to date, and still have many more to go. I decided that I would coddle my love for beauty products by giving myself rewards as I go on my journey. I have a different beauty reward for every 10 pounds I lose. Nothing too extravagant for now, just little odds and ends that I can't completely justify purchasing willy-nilly (I'm trying to save up for a car...which is a fail for it's own blog).
In case you're new here, I might as well start off with an introduction of myself. My name is Rachel. I'm 21 years old, and I live in a quaint little town that's off the radar in Pennsylvania. I live with my mom and one of my older brothers for now, and I work a not-quite-minimum-wage job that still barely covers my beauty and fashion habits. I love cats. I'm one of seven kids. I have 3 older brothers and 3 older sisters. Spongebob is my favorite television show, and I will quote it on a daily basis.
Some of my hobbies are writing (well, blogging), reading old favorite and newly discovered blogs, watching beauty gurus on Youtube, researching healthier alternatives to my favorite foods, and creating healthy recipes. My favorite things to make are smoothies, particularly green smoothies. Autumn is my favorite season, and October is my favorite month (expect an excited update on the first!).
If you polled everyone who knew me, the common factor would be this: if something I say or do makes you laugh, you will have my heart forever. I love finding the humor in EVERY situation, and laughing at me is okay, because I'll be laughing first.
I hope you stick around for a while, because the best is yet to come!
xoxo,
Rachel
