Quitting My Second Job

Quitting my second job

Today I am celebrating quitting my second job of the year. Last Sunday was my final shift working as a retail associate at Ulta. I started working there last July and it was my first real part time job where I worked close to 20 hours a week on top of school. I loved being around makeup all of the time, but I honestly didn’t enjoy that job very much. I’m happy to say I’ve finally quit that job!

Celebrating Our 3 Year Anniversary

Celebrating our 3 year anniversary

In honor of celebrating our 3 year anniversary, I’m sharing some couples photos Wren Brady Photography did for my boyfriend and me a few weeks ago. These photos were taken at Moon Rocks, Nevada. Moon Rocks is a hot spot for BMX bikers to ride around the hills an hour or so outside of Reno. Lucky for us, the rocks are so picturesque and made the perfect photoshoot location!

Harry Potter and the Curse of 2020

When the pandemic hit the United States in March, I decided it was time to reread the Harry Potter series. The world has felt devastatingly dark this year and I needed a good story like Harry Potter to keep my mind and heart occupied. I started rereading in March and I finally finished the last book a couple weeks ago when my fall semester started. Here’s some reflections I have after rereading the series:

Every couple of months I love putting together Read, Watch, Listen posts to share a recent collection of stories I find interesting, good shows I’m watching, and other thought provoking pieces. Can you believe we’re already more than halfway through 2020? Yikes. The pictures in today’s post were taken in Lake Tahoe at sunset 🙂 Something about this Lush Boutique dress makes me feel like I’m ready to vacation in Paris and buy croissants from a local cafe… Anyways, let’s get into today’s read, watch, listen post.

Since we’re halfway through 2020, I decided to give a little life update here on the blog. Obviously due to the coronavirus, this first half of the year didn’t go at all as I thought it would.

Read, Watch, and Listen: Quarantine Edition 2

This week has certainly been devastating for the United States so I wanted to share some interesting pieces to read, watch, and listen to so we can educate ourselves on the deep racism in our country.

I’m also sharing some lighter topics and shows in the mix.
