I recently got back into doing my nails, and to celebrate this I purchased some new nail polish. I’m big on buying from indie brands, and wanted to explore the offerings available in the indie polish space. It was during this search for different brands I came across Death Valley Nails. I loved the aesthetic,Continue reading “My thoughts on Death Valley Nails”

Talking about my health (again)
Hey ya’ll, It has been just over a week since I posted my little life and health update. I got some nail polish things and am busy trying them out and forming my opinions, so keep your eyes peeled for that if you’re interested. In the mean time, I wanted to come back on hereContinue reading “Talking about my health (again)”
My low-key Return from a Long Break
Hi friends, It’s been a long while. Much longer than I realized, and quite a lot has changed since last I posted. I graduated college, am married, have a job that I love, and recently moved. I fear as far as my health goes, everything is still bad with a hefty side of question marks.Continue reading “My low-key Return from a Long Break”
College and Marriage and Health Issues…
Life recently has been full of so many changes, things that make me feel like I am doing better than I ever have been, and moments that make me think I still have no idea what I am doing with my life.

things will change (a reflection)
If there is one thing I am thankful for the most as I reflect back on the past year, and look forward to the year ahead of me on the cusp of my 20th birthday, it is the fact that things change. And that is saying a lot considering I feel like I am goingContinue reading “things will change (a reflection)”
you aren’t alone.
I was thirteen. Spoiler alert : Nothing good happened the year I was thirteen. My brother died, my mom was recovering from nearly eight months of being so sick she could do barely anything for herself, and I was watching the independence I had accumulated wash away by the day. I felt so alone. LikeContinue reading “you aren’t alone.”
five years later…
I’m not even going to lie and try to pretend that this week has been easy. They say there are some things that you just shouldn’t share on the internet, and perhaps my week of breakdowns, crying in the car, and seeming inability to do anything constitutes one of those things. But this week marksContinue reading “five years later…”
a letter to an older, wiser barista
I ran into you today. It’s been awhile, and I don’t know if you really remember me. And I don’t know that if you do remember me that those memories are fond ones. But I was glad to see you. I hope you’re doing well. I hope your adorable little kid is healthy and happy.Continue reading “a letter to an older, wiser barista”
20 things I’ve realized during high school (mainly about making friends and influencing people.)
(1) Sometimes people just don’t want to be friends, and that doesn’t always have anything to do with you. (aka, it’s a them problem, not a you problem) (2) Just because people claim they care, doesn’t mean they do. But that doesn’t mean that no one ever cares. It’s better to live life and getContinue reading “20 things I’ve realized during high school (mainly about making friends and influencing people.)”
chronic illness and such, take 2
This post is about my thoughts and feeling about trekking through life with chronic illness, and also about being ‘perfect’. For those of you who don’t know, when I was 13 I was diagnosed with sibo, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which is a form of Irritable Bowl Syndrome. I don’t like to talk aboutContinue reading “chronic illness and such, take 2”
