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 time I became a vegetarian. That helped.... But what made the biggest impact was cutting back on oil. I still use oil sometimes. And I will eat nuts /avocado/other natural sources of fat if I feel like it. But no more "Panda Express", Carl's Jr. fries, and definitely no Mel's Burgers. Once I cut excessive oil and sugar out of my diet, damn. No stomach pains, plus my skin cleared up.

This weekend during the move though, I've not only eaten foods I normally avoid, I ate a LOT of it. I feel so gross right now, goodness. One thing that always helps me, is usually something that grosses people out. It's hot water. Or some tea! I always feel better, it makes it easier to, uh, go, and it makes my skin feel soothed. This coming week I am going to have to eat light, so lots of veggies. And drink LOTS of water. Pretty much, I'm going to have to go grocery shopping and try to meal prep. EUgh.

Moving along, now. I'm going to have to go to Wal-Mart or Ikea and buy some shelves to set up our pantry. We need a bath mat and trash bin for the "master bath". I will most likely ogle a crap ton of other stuff I don't need, like bedding, curtains, rugs. And I'd be shocked if I didn't go to Ross to look for affordable options that I could justify. But I will have to be strong and not overspend. When I feel weak looking at an overflowing shopping cart, I call Rei. She's no-judgment but also no BS. Tells me what I need to hear, and not what I want to hear. If only she could actually GO shopping with me :< . Instead, I am stuck Facebook messaging her pics of my messy life cart. Wouldn't it be nice if Target had a built in day care?
You think I'm joking? Half of this cart was on clearance! That's the danger zone.

My dream patio right now...  Maybe I can figure out how to do this on the cheap without the squirrels wrecking it...

Speaking of messy, I also need a wardrobe update. I'm not someone that has to go shopping for new clothes every season, but my weight has been fluctuating. And I have nothing proper (or cute) to wear for Fall! So, on my list, I have hoodies, real jeans, and... uhm socks. Really that is all I need. I will let y'all know if I get anything more than that. I was hoping to get a cheap, large flannel shirt to make some pillow covers out of. Cool pillows are so esspensive. If I do, I will take lots of pictures. And you will love them I am sure.

Anyway, this post was long enough. I just wanted to catch up! I hope you are all having a wonderful Halloween. If you have any decor suggestions or want to update me on the Autumn Challenge, comment down below!
Stay spooky!

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!

Tuesday Update: Big News

Just wanted to give you fellas a brief update. Last time I posted I was lowkey freaking out. Not gonna lie.... I am still freaking out. But I am definitely doing much better. Time heals all wounds, as they say. I can't really apply for work anywhere else because I don't want to lose my seniority and I don't have enough experience and education to get great pay elsewhere. So I am just going to hope my managers realize my true potential. And keep thinking that I will go back to school at some point and maybe I will get my degree mailed to me. That's how that works, right? All that being said, I - please don't get mad at me for this guys. If you are close to me and know me well I ask that you reign in the strong desire to hit me when I say this. But I am starting an online shop again : D The same problems that have come up in the past are still there. I have a partner that is not as motivated as I am, but damn at least I have a partner.

Short Moving Update- 2 Weeks Out

Photo by Shopify Partners from Burst We are moving in two weeks. I have bought 20 boxes and some trash bags. That's it. That is all I have done. It's been really busy these last couple of weeks, and it's going to be very busy in the next few as well. So, this post is more of a personal checklist of what I have left to do. Please people, learn from my mistakes. This is my first time moving out of my own place. I have too much stuff to just fill 4 trash bags and put them in my car. What's Left: Supplies : Duct tape, bleach, zipties (for hangers), carpet washer. Tasks : Bag remainder of all clothes. Box up all bedroom items not being used daily. Begin packing kitchen. Finish taking out trash from the purge. Vacuum the Ziploc Air Storage bags. Give back any items being stored by family. Move Services: I have to update SMUD, the internet provider, post office, DMV, my employers, my bank, and Amazon. Clean : Let's see..... This is a long one. Actually, ...
