The Confessional

How are my fav readers doing today?!

I have been a busy bee lately and I'm hoping things calm down soon enough…yea right :)

In the mean time I've been thinking, more like worrying about things, lately.  Is that just me?  It got me thinking about going to a confessional and just letting it all out.  Absent of that I am going to use this blog as my confessional…full disclosure you can stop reading now if you want!  


1.  I worry about Emily all the time.  Is that normal?!  I worry about her when I know she is completely fine and safe.  I have irrational, ridiculous thoughts.  I worry that she isn't advanced enough or that I'm not giving her everything she needs.  I have one friend I will text and ask all sorts of ridiculous questions too and she doesn't judge me.  Thank goodness for her or I would be lost.

2.  I use to LOVE to read magazines.  Since having a child I either don't have time or cannot focus enough to do it.  I have cancelled my beloved subscriptions because the growing stack of magazines was giving me anxiety.  Sorry Garden and Gun and Town and Country catch you on the flip side!

3.  I'm completely addicted to Instagram.  I look at it way too often!!  The hubs gets onto me about my never ending obsession.  I can't help it!!  It is addictive.

4.  I watch entirely too much Bravo!!!  From the Real Housewives to Million Dollar Listing to Watch What Happens Live I love it all.  My TV is permanently on Bravo and I'm not even sorry for it.

5.  As hard as life is I'm really happy.  I feel like I'm in a good place, not always a content place, but a good place.  Recently I found my dream list.  It's a list I made when I was single and I realized that I had achieved over half of it.  I literally sat down and cried.  That 20 something year old girl who made that list inside me came alive and high fived me.  Life is good and meant to be celebrated.  

6.  I've fallen back in love with gel manicures.  As dumb as it sounds it kinda makes me mad at myself.  They wreck my nails but lord it's nice not to have to think about them for two weeks!!!  

7.  Even though I've neglected this blog I really love it.  When I'm laying in bed at night I think about what I want to blog about.  Often times the next day I don't have time to do it and I feel bad about it.  But this blog has brought me lots of joy and has been an incredible outlet.

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

The Power of Positive Thinking

Happy Hump Day readers!!  I hope you're having a great week.  From time to time I get emails or requests for certain topics and honestly I've gotten this request in some form or fashion a few times lately.   People have emailed or Facebook messaged me about positivity or how to stay happy during hard times etc.  To be honest I was a bit surprised that these asks kept coming.  I decided it was a sign that I actually needed to blog about it.   I think we've all heard the typical attitude is everything comments and most of the time they are in one ear and out the other.  Or we don't think they apply to us just everyone else.  However, I don't believe that.  I truly believe our attitude and thoughts shape our hours, days, years and ultimately our life experience.   I think this is a huge shift for most of us.  To take our thoughts from the place they have always been is super difficult.  When I got honest with myself I realized that a lot of times what I was think
