I’m not a huge climate change advocate but it does break my heart to see what mother earth is going through, especially with some of our wasteful decisions – so I try my best to do little things that will hopefully make a difference. Creating less trash sounds like a good start.
If you’ve ever struggled finding a good sports bra that isn’t $1,000 then you’ll understand this post. I played sports a lot when I was younger and have always enjoyed running or working out so a sports bra is an essential part of my closet. I don’t care if they’re cute, I care that they hold my ting tangs still. I HATED the times I’d be wearing a bra that wasn’t strong enough & my ting tang’s bounced around for everyone to see during my runs. UGH, also so unflattering. Oooga Oooga Oooga. Just no. No. No.
I’m not a super fan of country music or even Garth Brooks music so don’t be afraid I’m going to lay out all my country obsessions for you. A few weeks ago I was able to see Garth Brooks in concert during SXSW. I’m not familiar with his music, I realized at all, but that didn’t matter.
Books + Podcasts + Music are the three things I need. I use them to help my mind take a break. I want to disclose, I’m all over the place when it comes to reading. I go through phases where I want to read about drug addiction, then Jesus Christ, then marketing, and sometimes a good fiction of a girl trapped in the woods. The variety keeps me from getting bored & I highly recommend opening your genre preferences.
As I was growing up, teachers, parents, grandparents, cousins, graduates, & friends all stressed the importance of having good grades to get into a good college after high school. That was the only option for anyone who wanted to be successful. That’s why we worked so hard in high school, so we can go to college. Because who doesn’t know what they want to do with their entire life at 18 years old? And if you didn’t know, you can take classes until you find out. “If you don’t go now, you’ll never go back!”
I used to think makeup was important at work because it helps you look awake, alert, professional, clean, put together, on time – but I’ve had a shift in mentality recently. I don’t want to put shit on my face when my computer screen & a few people are the only ones reaping the benefits. Most of the time I don’t even look in a mirror so I’m not even able to marvel at my artwork.
I hate getting comfortable. I’m 50% a lover of routine & my home BUT I’m 50% ready to pack a suitcase & start a new life-altering adventure next Tuesday. Too much comfort gives me anxiety. That’s why, with the change of seasons, I try to get my shit together. Mix in a couple planned trips, organize my memories, and throw things out!
My spray tan story starts with stupid tanning beds. I hated using them but I hated being white more, so I fake tanned or sat in the sun – both of which my inner self hated, whether I would admit it or not.
I’ll admit, I used to be very basic with my swimwear – I avoided tan lines like the plague… Now that I sit in the shade & spray tan – tan lines are the last of my concerns.
I started listening to Jazz a couple months ago when I first arrived in Los Angeles. I stayed at a guest house and the beautiful woman that cleaned before our arrival left the radio set to jazz. (Shout out KJazz 88.1)
I assumed I would eventually change the station… but hours passed, days passed, weeks passed and I had that damn radio playing Jazz day in and day out. From morning till night. Jazz. Jazz. Jazz.
