This blog is having an identity crisis! Like most of us, 2020, and even into 2021, I’ve been struggling with my mental health.

I flew to Europe, Richmond, VA, Seattle, WA, twice, and Canada, oh my! I tried some new things with the blog–namely trying affiliate marketing. And yet, writing this post makes me feel defeated because I have not … More Blog Birthday! | 6th Anniversary

Instead, here are some of my favorite posts from the … More Two Year Blog Anniversary!

My blog is one-year-old today! I actually committed to something! This has never happened before with any hobby I have attempted (scrap-booking, blogging in the high school, electric guitar…). It’s weird and exhilarating. Having this blog takes my mind off work and gives me a platform to express myself. When I first started this blog I … More Happy First Birthday!
