These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

So, as promised, I'm making a REAL post tonight!!  I'm in love with watching "monthly favorites" videos on Youtube, so I decided to blog about my November favorites! Favorite 1).  My new Keurig I've been dying for a Keurig.  Basically so I could play with the K Cups.  What I wasn't dying over, though, was the price tag.  I mean, one hundred and some odd bucks for a coffee machine?  No thanks, I'll take my thirty dollar Hamilton Beach coffee maker that served me through college. Then, oh then, I came across the Mr. Coffee "Keurig." Still, at about...

Super Quick Update.

Hey all! So, a super quick update of some posts to look forward to after the Thanksgiving/Black Friday CRAZIES settle down: 1.) A super ginormous Bath and Body Works haul.  I went a little a lot nuts on the Bath and Body Works website. I had a 25% off coupon, and they were having a Buy 3 Get 3 Free sale (still going on...and probably will be, at least until after Christmas because that's how they roll). 2.) How to get free things by using coupons.  Yes, it's possible.  Yes, I've done it.  Every time I post it on Facebook I get comments and questions, and I have...

I'm Sick of Feeling Sick.

So, funny how things work. I had planned on starting the Whole30 eating program. Instead, I gorged myself on candy, cookies, cakes, and basically the least whole foods you could think of. And wanna know something? I still feel like garbage. Constantly. My stomach doesn't necessarily hurt, but it feels gross all the time.  Like I've constantly eaten too much. I have no energy. I'm not losing any more weight (although I haven't gained...thankfully).  My hair is dull, flat, and lifeless.  My nails are breaking off.  Overall, I feel and look like poop. My body is still screaming...

Whole30

So, I feel like I owe everybody an apology (this blog currently has 110 page views, in which I am shocked and honored).  I NEVER meant to go three weeks without blogging.  However, it's a helpful transition into this post. I've been feeling really...well, down in the dumps lately.  It's definitely not uncommon for me, but it's most certainly inconvenient.  I'm not a Negative Nancy in general, but once the excitement of October fizzles out, I get stuck in a rut.  Seasonal Affective Disorder?  Honestly, I've considered that.  I have enough of a background in...

Water Challenge

One of my favorite people to watch on Youtube, Scola Dondo, is starting a challenge to get fit for New Year's. The goal? To get as healthy, happy, and comfortable in your own body as you can.  That's it. Not lose X% of your weight, or X pounds by New Year's.  Which, ultimately, isn't that everybody's goal who is on this journey?  Sure, being able to wear a size 2 or 6, or being able to run a 5k without stopping are all REALLY good feelings.  And I'm not undermining that at all.  But you're going to have days when you want to sit around in sweatpants instead of wearing...

It's Finally October!

A new month always feels like a new start to me.  Especially during the Autumn months.  Whether it has been going back to school and wanting to do better than last year, or realizing that I spent another summer melting behind hoodies instead of wearing bathing suits and shorts, I get a surge of energy that is nearly incomprehensible.  I tend to lose my motivation in the middle of the month, and that even applies to my weight loss and my beauty routine. I either get stuck in a rut, or let myself go a little bit.  But the first of the month is like New Year's Day every 30 days...

An Introduction.

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...
