Today, I went to my third oil painting class. I've been wanting to take art -- painting class in specific for years, but, like everything else I want to do, I haven't found the time to begin. So, as part of my birthday present to myself, I gifted myself painting classes. My first class was… Continue reading The Painter Life
Every year, either on or before my birthday, I get a haircut, and it is always something different from what I am currently wearing. My last dramatic hairstyle was in September when I went with bright red highlights (I am a big fan of red on me), leaned into my natural curls, and went for… Continue reading Exploring Hairstyles: Celebrating Seasonal Changes
If I'm going to write a post reflecting on 2024, it only makes sense to write one with my goals for 2025 so I can look back at it in a year (or not, to be honest I didn't look at the one I wrote at the beginning of 2024 to compare). My biggest goal… Continue reading Goals for 2025
Today is January 1 and I was debating if I wanted to write about my goals for the upcoming year, or reflect on the past. Obviously, based on the title of this post, you already know which way I have decided to lean. Very generally speaking, 2024 was a great year. Some amazing things happened:… Continue reading Reflections of 2024
I have a big bug phobia, but what I'm about to tell you I feel like would be true for ANYONE. Last night, I got home at 2 AM and saw that both my and my neighbor's doors were swarming with a plethora of bugs! They were flying in every which way, and i couldn't… Continue reading The Saga that is My Life…
There is something so inherently annoying about teenagers! I know that on some (minor) level, I too must have been an annoying teenager, and I sure as hell grew up with plenty who were far more irritating, but there is something so much more horribly despicable about the current generation of teenagers. A. They are… Continue reading Teenagers: Inherently Annoying
It's been 2.5 years since my last post. I was transitioning to podcasting and didn't know I could keep up with both. Fast forward 2.5 years and I haven't even been able to keep up with podcasting because of life - but mostly work/business-life balance, or lack thereof. So I thought ok, let's just stop… Continue reading A quiet return to “blogging”
On October 6th, I woke up to a phone call in the middle of the night from my little brother (turns out I previously missed 3 calls from my other brother) to tell me that my Nanu (grandma) had passed away. I had just barely gone to bed about an hour or so earlier, so… Continue reading Goodbye, Nanu
I'm trying to do my May recap in July!! God only knows what I remember -- but thanks to my daily posts on Instagram, it shouldn't be too difficult to recap. So, here goes! Hot Chocolate 5K I participated in the All State Hot Chocolate 5K by doing the 5k by myself in a local… Continue reading May Milestones: What Were They?
April was an exciting month!! New Travels, New Experiences, New Ventures... so much to delve into! New City, New State: Chicago, Illinois I've been to Chicago nearly a decade ago for a friend's wedding, but other than the hotel, I literally saw nothing else. So a road trip that involved several new states and a… Continue reading April Milestones: What Were They?
