I Tried Blue Apron for Two Weeks and Here’s What Happened
My husband and I have been doing the Dave Ramsey program for a while. We make monthly budgets, and for the most part, we stick to them. But there’s always been one problem area that never seems to go away– food. We eat out too much. Both my husband and I are incredibly busy. He…
Repost: Is Body Positive Movement Just a Trend?
2016 kicked off as an exciting year for the body positive movement. It looked like some great strides were being made as to how society viewed beauty. I have to admit, I was fairly excited to see what the results would look like if the media really began to back idea and, for a while,…

Announcing the Va Va Voom!
I don’t remember the exact moment that I stumbled upon it but when I did, I instantly saved it into my favorites. I remember thinking, these necklaces are so cute and I may have to commission them to do some custom ones. At the time, it had never occurred to me what would become of…
Taking Back My High School Reunion
It’s something I’ve literally avoided for years. I’ve visited my home town several times since graduating. I’ve even driven by my old high school.
