2019 Goals Final Wrap Up
I mentioned this in my goals for 2020 post, but I was a little self-conscious/borderline ashamed at how unfinished my 2019 goals went last year. The first year I made a list of goals, in 2017, I went ALL OUT to finish by the time that clock struck midnight, and I felt bad for not… Continue reading

My Favorite Moments of 2019 (List-cember #9)
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it approximately 600,000 times: this year was busy! But within the confines of our crazy calendar, there were so many good moments.

17 Goals for 2020 (List-cember #8)
It’s that time of year again, y’all. I’m going to be honest, this list was not easy to make this year. My 2019 was absolutely CRAZY in terms of busyness, so a lot of my goals were left unattended and it made me very discouraged. For a hot second I thought about not setting any… Continue reading

My Decade Recap (As Told by Old Facebook Statuses) (List-cember #7)

About My Closet
I own a lot of jackets. I realize this is ridiculous because I live in Southern California where our four seasons are spring, summer, subtler summer, and summer feat. wind and occasional rain, but alas, I’m a baby, I’m always cold, and so I continue to buy jackets.
