My Favorite Things about Fall
Fall used to be my favorite season because it’s cozy, colorful, and very rarely will the weather inconvenience you. Recently, I’ve been enjoying Winter the most. I crave the juxtaposition of cozy life inside while its cold and uncomfortable outside. There’s nothing more inviting than being warm and happy inside while it’s dark, cold, and snowy outside. But I digress. Where I live, we get summer and winter. Spring doesn’t exist and fall is extremely short most years. Since fall is fleeting, I feel like I need to enjoy it as long as I can. Now that we are halfway through November, I thought I might share some of my…

About Me: 5 Facts
It’s the end of the first week of September. It’s still hot as hell (WHERE ARE YOU FALL?) and I’ve been preparing for a 10 day road trip that I start this weekend. I realized, I really haven’t done anything recently (or ever) to tell you about me and my life (outside of my phone addiction challenge). I think this week is a good opportunity to do that. Next week I will post about the road trip so keep an eye out for that!

You may have noticed I am not longer using a Wix site. I realized that I wanted to get serious about blogging and I knew that I couldn’t do that with Wix that way I Could with WordPress.

Thank you for keeping up with me while I figure out blogging as well as where and how I want to do it!

I Will Never Pass Up A Selfie
I didn’t have a smart phone until after I graduated high school. The cell phone I had was $30 from target and I didn’t use it much (we didn’t have cell service at my family home). I always had a camera with me, but that tiny thing was never turned around and aimed at me. I used to only be behind the camera. Now I fully embrace selfies and love them, even if I look crusty next to my friends. There is no reason to hate selfies simply because they are selfies. They are self-portraits in an age where anyone can take them. Why do we continue to shame people…
