I was so obsessed with my wish box that I decided to make my witchy one today!!

Sunday Scaries
blogI 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!
September
blogHappy September!
I love the “ber” months and I feel like good things are on the horizon!
Wishing everyone have a peaceful, blessed September full of miracles and joy.
Maybe This Is What Life Is About
blog
Maybe life really is about making your 8-year-old self happy. Doing things just to do them; not for profit, not for views- just doing the things that you want to do for YOU.
Maybe life is about seeking out the beauty in all the things we deem to be “imperfect.” Seeing and appreciating what makes everything so special and unique in this world.
Maybe life is about finding what truly lights up your soul and pouring into yourself whenever you can. Filling your own cup up so full that it starts spilling love and light onto others who come across your path.
Maybe life is about noticing and being grateful for the abundance of blessings that surround you everyday. Basking in the happiness that you’ve created for yourself, and recognizing how much of your life is answered prayers.
Maybe life is having faith that no matter how hard life may get, we are more than capable of making it through. Recognizing how much you have overcome in this lifetime, and appreciating the person you have become along the way.
Maybe life is about slowing down and being present to the love that is within you, and all around you. Maybe this is what life is about.
Sunday Vibes
blog
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.
The First Week of June
blogIt’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!
Friday Feels
blogDespite 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.
Saturday 4/4: I did a thing
blogSoooo 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!
If you’re interested, you can search “Adventures of the 9 to 5” on Apple podcasts and/or Spotify! Also, you can search me on Instagram @Adventuresofthe9to5!
Just A Happy Sunday
blogToday was such a nice day, despite the weather being windy and cloudy. My husband and I went to a very late breakfast at our usual spot, which was delicious as always! Prior to that I started laundry, took care of the dishes as well as the garbage (these are normally my husband’s chores, but I was feeling motivated this morning LOL) and I picked up the groceries! It was nice to have all of that done early in the morning.
This afternoon I decided to make some juice for the week, which are all f*cking delicious! I love when I have my husband try new juice recipes and seeing how he lights up after trying each one! I’ll post the pictures I put on my snapchat story below!
Overall, today was such a great day! We’re gonna have some dinner soon and I may do some diamond beading after that. I was thinking about finally starting an audiobook I downloaded a while ago, but I also may just listen to a true crime podcast like I usually do. I’m determined to make this week ahead a good week! Sending love and good vibes to everyone!
Monday AM: Blizzard Edition
blogI called (well, texted) into work today, because we are in the middle of a blizzard warning. Most of my way to work is open roads by huge fields with no street lights; considering the weather apps say there are high winds, whiteout conditions, and half of the street view cameras I look at are down, I decided it’s not worth risking my life to go to work.
I also woke up feeling nauseous, but that is also because of my anxiety around traveling in this weather. I barely slept because I kept waking up checking for weather updates or seeing if they closed my job for the day- clearly not LOL!
I used to feel really guilty if I had to call off for anything, but now I don’t. I know I work hard, I am very blessed that my husband can work from home, and I can afford to take a day off so I can avoid traveling in horrible conditions. My coworker said she was going 20mph the entire way to work and the snow was blowing completely sideways! Luckily she made it in safely and will now deal with all of the cancellations that are inevitable.
As for me, I’m going back to bed. I’m grateful to be in the situation I am where I can take a day off when I need to and I don’t have to suffer in my work or personal life. I’m also grateful to be able to lay next to the love of my life in our comfortable bed. Life is quite beautiful.
