As I mentioned in my previous post.... After waiting through quarantine and Virginia's stay-at-home order, I finally got hired for a job I interviewed for in early March. I am a patient rep at an optometry office and let me tell you, it has been quite the learning curve. Being fluent in the language of …
A New Beginning
Friends, life is changing. I have accepted a job offer. This job is one that I interviewed for right before quarantine began. I will be working as a patient representative at a local eye care practice. I am immensely grateful to get a new job, especially during a pandemic, while people are losing jobs right …
15 Albums That Have Changed My Life
I have 15 phenomenal albums to share with you today. These fifteen albums are the albums that I have enjoyed as albums, not just a few songs here and there. These are the albums that I appreciate start to finish. They've inspired me as a vocalist, as a songwriter, and just someone who likes to …

However, I've never longed for time spent with my hands in the dirt or sweat dripping down my neck, so I've ultimately always chosen comfort over...well, work.

My Kitchen Must-Haves
It's no secret that I am a frequent occupant of the kitchen. It is my playground. One of the most magical experiences was creating a wedding registry for my husband and I and getting to request a ton of kitchen gadgets that I had always dreamt of. Cooking is a skill that I spent a …
Contentment While Quarantined
I'll preface everything I say with this, I am still very much in my grieving process due to resigning from my job at the beginning of March. My life is not a picnic and I am not immune to struggles. But I am capable of making the choice in every moment to choose to focus …
Quarantine: What I’m Watching
Sometimes, when I'd have a busy week at school or even at work, I would daydream about a flu or just a general few days where I had to stay at home but would still have the energy and interest to just binge watch TV. I know what you're thinking. Isn't that what a Saturday could …
What’s Making Quarantine Easier for Me
I am so glad to be feeling better by about 95%. I've been experiencing quite a few headaches lately, which could just be all the pollen. I haven't consistently spent this much time outside in a while to know whether or not I suffer from allergies as an adult. Whoops! I wanted to share a …
Quarantine Realities
Firstly, I want to point out something that I did not expect about myself for this time. I have adapted pretty stinking well. I have a lot of sustainable habits I've picked up especially over the last year. It's not rocket science to hand wash our clothes. I happen to have an assortment of severely …
I turned 27.
I looked forward to my golden birthday for a long time. It wasn't bad, but it was certainly not the birthday I was expecting it to be. Jonathan and I went for a walk at a trail nearby and upon arrival, we got in a stupid fight and ended up taking separate paths. Honestly, we …
