The Autumn Challenge

In her Fall Bucketlist video, Kalyn Nicholson talks about how we all set out with so many ideas of the things that we want to do in the Fall, but we never actually do them. And for me, that rings true. So I challenged myself and my family to join me in making sure we do as much of the following as we can in the next month:

Harry Potter Marathon (fun outfit optional)
Read The Books
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Apple Picking
Buy A Pumpkin
Bake An Autumnal Dessert
Football In The Park
Pumpkin Carving
Fresh Flowers for the Apartment
Autumnal Decor
Harvest Meal
Rewatch The Haunting
Try A Red Wine

Some of these I have not done in years- like apple picking. And some I've already started. I've read the first Harry Potter book, and I have some ideas for decor. I might need to buy a football.... or I may just suggest we go HAM with our Nerf guns instead. No matter what, I want to make sure that we appreciate this time while we are in it. This is my favorite time of the year and I want to celebrate it as much as possible. I'll keep you updated on how many of the challenges I've completed. If you have any challenges you think would be a good addition, please comment! Feel free to join me as well.

Here is some seasonal music for your enjoyment as well!

Advice For Late 20s?

Anyone have any good advice for a woman in her late 20s? I thought I felt lost at 20.... yeah no. I am 26 now and have a job that COULD turn into a career or it could just stay a dead end job. I have been with my corporation under different sister companies for almost 3 years and other than the experience I really don't have anything to show for it. I can very much relate to " You Go, Girl " saying that she is tired under/overwhelmed and feeling unfulfilled. I am hoping to find some advice on what to do. I'm getting tossed around at a job, and should just be grateful I am not getting laid off. But maybe I feel entitled because they had just promised me a promotion... I would love to hustle and manifest my life as I want it- but I don't know what to aim for. Feeling very lost. Guess I will see where things take me. Guess this is where I need to brainstorm, search, and make myself a vision board ... Off to Pinterest!

Weekend Update

If you've read my last post you know that I was kind of starting to freak out over the upcoming move. Then this morning I woke up groggy and spent an hour on Instagram. Here you will see how my best friend Rei asked if we were going to Michael's. So we went to Michael's. It jump-started my day and kept me from getting angsty and depressed from staying in. Here is something I'm definitely going to be DIYing when I finish moving in. Some fam-spam. Ricky and I got sushi after. And then I started packing. I took a 2.5 hour nap. I was browsing Youtube for inspiration when Ricky suggested finishing the sushi from earlier and catching up on Luke Cage. The night ended with writing and editing... Starting the day with breakfast, coffee, and music. Ricky and I had an interesting conversation about family, abuse, sacrifice, and commitment. And of course, it is Sunday so I watched Kalyn Nicholson's new video. He

The Catch Up Post

It's Halloween month, I'm done moving out of my old apartment, and I've finally found my laptop charger! ~Happy times~. Now for some catching up! First of all, BIG thanks to my sister, Najiba, for helping us clean out our old place on Sunday. We could not have finished moving out of the apartment in time without her. Seriously, moving made us miserable. But now we are in our new place. And Ricky's parents are so awesome! They brought me (yes, me! Not us -.-) wine, a wine opener, and veggie pasta. I will refrain from calling it macaroni as I guess they would disagree. For Ricky, they brought garlic bread and he was nice enough to share that with me haha. Please ignore my fingers One thing about me guys is that until about a year ago I suffered from random digestive issues. I won't get TMI now, but suffice to say I suffered. And what's worse, is that was normal for me. I never thought anything was really wrong. But there was. June 2017 was about the
