I’m Back (SORTA)

hello.

flashback fridays hertaintedlips

Where do I even begin? Last year I was starting to pick up on my blogging and attempting to write and publish blog posts more consistently but life happened and all of my great plans and ideas came to a screeching halt.

I was wrapping up my final semesters of school, my Dad passed away and I was forced to get a second part-time job in order to afford living in Hawaii.

Needless to say I think about blogging and writing a lot. More so now than ever. I have so much to write and share but even during the times where I am not overwhelemed with different emotions or exhausted from working 12 hour days, I just can’t seem to put a post together.

I had some time off today and thought I would sit here and just write. Not even think about if any of this makes sense or where to put the sentences or paragraphs. Just write. Write because I love it. Write because it excites me.

Something that inspired me to write/blog again (more?) was somehow being off (between my two jobs) to catch the WriteStuff chat on Twitter – I haven’t been participating in twitter chats much lately or any social media really unless I have time while I lay around and try to get rest or just relax a little bit.

Another thing that inspired me was this Marie Forleo (one of my favorite people) youtube video with Sarah Jones about trusting your intuition and listening to that little voice. I choose to listen to that little voice.

Anywho, forgive the mess. I am back (sorta). Expect more random posts coming to you shortly. Summer time is my favorite time – beaches and bbq’s as well as my birthday coming up (July 10th). Thank you for hanging in there with me. I love you.

Flashback Friday’s: Mini Update

Aloha and thank you for stopping in. Life has really been kicking my ass lately so I’ll make this quick! Just a short little post about what I have been up to lately. Enjoy!

flashback fridays hertaintedlips

💗 I got a second job a couple months ago and even though I enjoy it my body does not. I feel exhausted all the time and all these long hours plus regular stress has led to continued health issues but I’m working on self care and getting in naps and meditation whenever possible.

💗 I finally bought myself flowers. My mood was instantly lifted and I am surprised that they have stayed alive for as long as they have. I plan on buying myself flowers much more often. I have them on my desk so I can look over at them as I work.

💗 I am at the home stretch when it comes to school. If I complete my two Senior Projects this semester I will be graduating in a little over a month. I am so excited yet scared out of my mind.

💗 I am in the process of packing so that I can move. The building I reside in got purchased by someone else so we need to be out of here by mid-may. Packing, moving and looking for a new place is pretty much a third job in itself. Somebody want to be my assistant and take care of this for me? I’ll pay you in unlimited hugs

So that’s about it. Nothing extremely exciting happening in my busy world but I appreciate you very much for stopping by to read. I hope you have a beautiful weekend and if you have been meaning to do something nice for yourself please do it! ASAP!
xoxo

Flashback Friday’s: Sick & Tired

Happy Friday Folks!
I hope that you had a wonderful week. As I prepare this post (I usually write and edit Flashback Friday’s posts throughout the week) I am fighting a terrible cold and cough. I have been surrounded by coworkers and customers with colds and the flu so it was pretty much a given that I would end up catching some type of bug. Two days of just resting and hydrating myself has done me well but I may need a day or two more to really get back to being myself again.

Friday’s are great days usually – it is payday, the end of the week (and start of the weekend) but since I’m in a crummy mood I’m gonna just share a couple things I am sick & tired of so I apologize if this is missing a joyful message today. lol

I am Sick & Tired of…
+ Being stressed out about things that are completely out of my control. I will do what I can on my part and just release the rest to the Universe. Stress is just overall sh*tty – the feeling of it sucks and the way it can lead to me being sick is just not worth it in the end.
+ People assuming they know something about me just because I carry a characteristic of someone they knew in the past. You can’t fully know me unless you take a chance to know me. Stop assuming sh*t.
+ This weather. It really needs to make up it’s mind. It was cool and breezy yesterday and today it is storming and humid. This weather always leads to people getting allergies, the cold and/or the flu. Just stoppit already.
+ Your president. That is not my president and I still for the life of me don’t understand how the joke (of him even running) ended up with him being the president. You sure this isn’t an early April Fools Joke? Because it makes us (the U.S.) look like a bunch of fools if you ask me.
+ Twitter not allowing us to edit our tweets. Get with the program.

That concludes the things I am currently sick and tired of. I’m sure there are others but my head is so cloudy and my sinuses are so stuffed up I can’t think straight. lol

Anywho, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and stay healthy out there. Water, rest, theraflu and ACV drink have been my friends.

Be You – #BeFullyYou

I really liked this message from Hips & Curves about be appreciating and loving yourself for who YOU are. One of the women in my Sociology Senior Project course is studying social media and people that use filters to change what they show the world.

I am guilty of using filters – most people that use social media use it. However, I am not afraid to express myself when I am not feeling or looking “perfect”. So remember – be you. BE FULLY YOU
