DIY and Lifestyle

                                            Hey readers, yep it's me. Did I disappear off this platform for almost a year? Yes, I did. About November of last year was the time I just stopped posting. November and December of 2019 were very tough months for me and I didn't have the time or energy to put effort into making a good post. January of 2020 I finally started getting my life back together. 2019 had done a number on me and felt like the worst year of my life. I had so much hope that 2020 would be my year. And for a while, it truly was, at least for the first three months. My skin was getting better, I was in great shape from basketball season, I was having fun with friends, and everything seemed to start to fit in its right place. Then COVID affected everything. March went from good to very bad in a matter of one weekend. Obviously, I have no right to complain because the...

Hey readers! Sorry, it has been a while, but I'm back for at least a bit. A lot has happened in the last two months, nothing dramatic but things to keep me busy from blogging. Okay, so I wanted to go back in time to August 20th of this year. I published a post called "Coffee Addiction?". I wanted to make a follow-up post on how I'm doing and what have I changed in my life. On October first I decided I had enough of feeling weak. What does that mean you ask? It means I quit coffee.  It sounds like it must've been VERY hard for me. But I've gone through this before so I knew just what to expect. I had a headache every day for about a week, which was painful, but I knew it was coming so I was mentally prepared for it. I decided to replace my morning coffee with two full glasses of water, and I've been doing that to this day.  Coffee seems like so much more than just a hot beverage. It's a sense of familiarity and almost like a friend. But I...

Hey readers! :) Happy Friday! It is officially a new year, 2019! So sorry that I haven't posted in a couple weeks and this is the first time this year posting. Last time you heard from me, I was saying goodbye to 2018. I decided to take a couple weeks off of blogging so that I could start back into the school year and stay focused on some things before returning to posting. I can't say that I will be posting as much as I did in December but I'm going to try. It is so much easier to get posts up when I am on break. I would love to hear about how your year is going so far, so let me know in the comments! Alright, for my year so far it has been a lot. And I'm not going to go into detail about some things because they are pretty personal. But I started up school again and my basketball season started up again. If you didn't know, I play 3 different sports, soccer, volleyball, and basketball. But right now it is basketball season. Overall 2019 has been going good...

Dear readers, it has been quite a long time since I have written and posted on this blog.  I have been extremely busy with school, sports, and music. Also with my school year ending last week, my schedule was quite hectic. But now that I have free time I might be posting a little more often than usual. Today starts my first week of summer break and I'm enjoying myself so far. Late nights and sleeping in late is a pleasure I miss during the school year, so being able to do that during the summer is pretty exciting for me. Also today I just relaxed at home and had kind of a spa day. Well, that is all I have to say today. I just wanted to give you all somewhat of an update and that this blog isn't dead quite yet.  I hope you all have an amazing day, and I'll see you on the flipside! -BloggerGirl
