Today my husband and I celebrate two years of marriage, and fifteen years together! I’m so proud of how much we have grown together throughout the last decade and a half, and I can’t wait to see what our future holds. He’s sleeping next to me and I’m about to lay down and probably fall back asleep for a bit since we took the day off together. We have a very chill day planned and you bet your ass that Chili’s is involved! Can’t wait for those honey chipotle chicken crispers LOL!
Well, I didn’t even realize that I missed a few days of blogging- oh well! I’m back for a moment now! My friend and I decided to be crafty today and make some magical wish boxes! I am planning to make another one that is more witchy themed, but today I went full pink whimsy vibes!
I don’t really feel like going to work tomorrow, or this whole week if I’m being real. I’d love to take a trip to an island or at least a beach somewhere warm! Luckily I still have today off, and my husband and I started off the day at our favorite breakfast place, so I’m satisfied for the day!
Yesterday we had fun at Oktoberfest with some of our good friends! We got to enjoy delicious smash burgers, pumpkin beer, as well as the haunted train ride and carousel! It was so fun hanging out with everyone, even though the rain kept coming and going. Luckily there were enclosed areas for everyone to hang out in!
It definitely feels like fall now which has me feeling cozy and spooky! I just finished watching Widows Bay (highly recommend- on Apple TV), and I am ready to just start watching every horror movie ever LOL so leave me some comments with your recommendations!
I hope everyone has a cozy, relaxing Sunday and that this week ahead turns out better than we expect!
It may be rainy, but we’re still gonna go to Oktoberfest with our friends tonight! I’m excited to see everyone and hang out later. Today has been pretty relaxing, yet also productive! I applied to a remote job and also sent off my resume to an office that’s relatively close to me. I don’t know if they are even hiring, I really did it just as a baby step to get used to reaching out, and also to learn how to deal with rejection.
I also have been trying to organize my thoughts / memories for a podcast episode I need to record. I’ve mentioned my creepy coworker in the past and I really just need to finally sit down and record- it’s just a lot to go back though. I still have a hard time piecing all of the timeline together, probably because I felt like I was in survival mode at that job even without all of her chaos. I’m not recoding the episode today, but I will soon!
My husband is out shooting Air-soft with his friends, so I am taking a much needed “me day” at home! This morning I did some declutterring and then I made myself some breakfast. Later on I decided to go out and grab myself an iced coffee and now I’m home reading my new book that I won from @thecosmicrx on Instagram!
The new moon technically peaks tomorrow, but I’m feeling that calm reset kicking in now, and I am excited to see what these next couple of months look like! The more I lean into being present and taking life day by day, the easier it is to feel fulfilled and happy. I am so grateful for today and this life.
It’s been a week of June, and summer vibes have officially arrived. I have been feeling so happy lately; seeing my favorite people, doing my favorite things- June feels like a refreshing, whimsical month already! I’m feeling grateful for all of the wonderful people in my life, and how many joyous moments are awaiting me this month. Here are some photos from the first week of June!
Happy June!!! It’s the first of the month, we just had a Blue Moon yesterday, and things just feel like they’re shifting into a positive timeline!
I had such a great May, and this has me super excited for this month!! It’s amazing how different my mood is when we have constant warm weather and sunshine! I’ve been feeling more motivated to hang out with friends and just get outside!
My husband and I just signed up for a new gym as well which has both indoor and outdoor pools which is super exciting! We’re hoping to go this evening when it’s a little quieter and we can get comfortable with the layout!
This summer is all about fun, friendships and nature for me! I am excited to focus on all the good and just enjoy the summer!
Here’s to wishing everyone a happy, abundant summer!!
My husband and I took today off since we had a weekend out of town! I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s destination wedding in Florida on Saturday! It was absolutely gorgeous, and I love the Pompano Beach area!
I had a lot of anxiety the week leading up to this trip, as well as on this trip. I was upset that I let myself get sunburned and then felt bad that I didn’t stay out as late as the rest of the bridal party, but I needed to sleep and hydrate to be ready for the wedding. The night of the wedding we also didn’t stay out as late as everyone else, but that’s because we had to be at the airport at 5am the next morning.
When I look back, I was really letting my anxiety get the best of me. I was overthinking and ruining the present, joyous moments, when in reality, none of that mattered. I was there to support the bride and help where I could. The rehearsal and wedding went smoothly, and we all had a great time on the yacht! Although I had some anxiety and got hella sunburned, overall we had great trip!
I had a session today with my new therapist, and we are gonna work on baby steps of making me become more flexible with my life. I tend to get very rigid with things and I am very “all or nothing” sometimes, and I want to be able to let go of that and focus on what really matters. I have a beautiful life, and although times get tough and anxiety gets high, I know it’s always temporary.
Despite the gloomy weather, I woke up feeling good! It’s largely because my husband and I both took the day off together, but I also just dropped the second episode of my podcast! I’ve kept it on the down low at work, mainly because word travels fast and people loooveee to make assumptions and be nosey as shit, but my friends and family know about it! I’m just feeling so excited and joyful around the fact that I finally launched the podcast after years of talking about it.
Soooo I finally did a thing….
I finally published my podcast!!! Adventures of the 9 to 5 is now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! Although it’s really only one episode and a couple blurbs right now, I am excited to record more and hopefully build a community where we can all share our stories and also share what we have all learned from our jobs and experiences.
I honestly recorded the episode that is out now back in December. I was letting my perfectionism get in the way by not letting myself post unless I had a backlog of content, but I then got myself stuck in a freeze state and never recorded anything else. I felt like the only way to break the cycle was to just f*cking send it LOL!
I’m feeling excited and grateful for my friends who are so supportive! I’m also thinking about starting another blog / site that is for my podcast specifically! For now I am working on more content for my Instagram page and I am hoping to record a couple more episodes this month!
