I never had a gym bag until this past year when I started going to the gym either on my lunch or right after work. I used to have the time to go home to change and what not, but that's no longer the case. I invested in a Nike bag (on sale, of course) and use it every single day. It can get a little cluttered and sometimes there are more than 20 bobby pins in there at a time, but it has the necessities nonetheless. SO - here are my favorite essentials for any gym bag! Gym bag - well DUH. Get one that's big enough to fit clothes, shoes, and other necessities. A draw string bag won't do. Sneakers - I've actually forgotten sneakers for the gym, so I suggest just leaving a pair in there or at least in your car. Hair Ties - I actually had to use a bracelet as a hair tie the ...
10 Hilarious Tweets of Clinton and Trump Singing a Duet
Why has no one photoshopped laser beams coming out of their eyes? Anyway, I know it’s October, but last night was terrifying and Halloween isn’t for another few weeks. Last night was the second debate between Hillary and Trump, and honestly my favorite part of the debates is checking the hilarious posts across social media. People are quick to make jokes, memes, and gifs because honestly, these two just make it so easy. Though it’s unfortunate that it’s so easy to poke fun at the candidates - and debates really shouldn’t be this crazy - these posts really lighten the mood. So, here are my 10 favorite tweets of Hillary and Trump singing a beautiful ...
No Bonfire Needed S’mores
Don’t worry y’all - I’m still here! In the past month I went to California and had an amazing time, broke my leg playing basketball, and watched 3 seasons of The OC. Pretty productive month I’d say. But I’m here to share with you one of my favorite summer recipes! If you know me at all, you’d know that I love sweets. It’s my ultimate downfall in life and I blame my dad’s genes for it. I don’t discriminate against sweets or desserts, I love them all, but I’ve definitely got some favorites. S’mores are on that favorites list, for sure. It’s summertime which means bonfire season! Who doesn’t love a well made s’more? As much I love getting Reese’s Cups and substituting it for the Hershey’s, you really can’t beat the original. But what do you think about a s’more without the bonfire ...
What I Wish You Knew About Grief
There are a lot of things I wish you knew about grief. I mean, there are a lot of things I wish I knew about grief. It’s still pretty new to me, I lost my dad in October. When my dad was diagnosed with a stage four cancer his prognosis was not good; 12-15 months. After those months went by, he spent six weeks in the hospital and then in hospice care. We knew it was coming - but that certainly didn’t make it any easier. Grief is not one size fits all. Everyone processes the pain and other associated feelings much differently. You can’t possibly know the pain unless you’ve gone through it, and even then, it varies for each person. There is no “right thing” to say when someone loses a parent, sibling, or a loved one. Things are said and condolences are given but while ...
