I felt inspired to do a fitness update because I haven’t done one since all the way back in May! Staying active has been such a rollercoaster for me, but I’m really happy with where I’m at right now.
On my blog, I usually like to cover beauty, fashion, and health related topics, but this week I wanted to do something a little different. These articles, videos, and podcasts really caught my attention because they explore social issues that are so relevant right now.
Every spring and fall, I get chronic bloody noses (I know, a very glamorous topic for the blog). Bloody noses aren’t that big of a deal, but they’re a major inconvenience! Last year, I had to run out of a 300 person lecture hall because the bloody nose decided to strike! After the bloody noses started coming back with the weather changing, I decided it was time to make a change.
I never wanted a Twitter account. During our designated phone time, I would glance at my boyfriend’s phone and watch him scroll through Twitter. Just looking from afar, Twitter appeared to be the most scattered social media site I had ever seen. As someone who genuinely loves organization, Twitter just didn’t seem like the app for me.
It’s crazy to think I started college a year ago. I was brimming with so much anxiety and dread. Just like most major life events, college is idealized in the media. College websites show happy students studying in the grass. Movies portray college life as one huge party with drugs, bad decisions, etc. I just didn’t didn’t know what to expect.
A year ago, my Nana passed away. I really can’t believe it’s been a year. Looking back, losing my Nana was one of the hardest times I had ever gone through. I had just graduated high school (I feel so thankful that she was able to attend that ceremony) and then I started college just a few months after she died. It felt like I was hit with an unstoppable wave of change.
Last week, my boyfriend and I took a trip down to San Diego to lay on the beach and hang out with my sister and brother-in-law. I’m so thankful that we had the opportunity to take a summer vacation and spend time with my family. I’m so happy with how these sets came out! It was wayyy easier to find pretty places to shoot in San Diego than Reno lol 😀
Around March, I had the idea of creating a desert theme for a period of time on my Instagram. I see so many beautiful tropical/beach pictures on Instagram that are impossible to recreate as I am living in the desert. I had so many ideas for this project and they came out completely different than I ever imagined.
