Hi, friends!!! I had to start the blog post off with some pictures of my new Urban Decay Full Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette because I’m a little excited about it. It’s just so dang purtyyyy!

I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you guys right off the bat that I’m a little nervous about this blog post. I’m stepping quite far out of my comfort zone and sharing a picture of myself that I took today and paired it with a picture I took of myself 5 months ago when […]

Yes, Journey. The “Don’t Stop Believin’” kind and the traveling for a purpose kind. The particular path that I am talking about is my never-ending and steady journey to become a healthier person.

Have you ever had a food that you could eat almost everyday for weeks on end and loved it on the fortieth day as much as you did the first? That was these babies for me. Especially when I went hardcore with my workouts and strived for the extra protein. Not only is this a SUPER […]
