2 Years of Blogging: How I Started

This time of year is always full of so many anniversaries for me! It’s been a year since I graduated, a year since my cruise (and almost getting taken), a year since I started my first full time job, 2 years since my surgery and now 2 years since I started this blog! (That was a lot of anniversaries…but you get the point…life comes at you fast.) I always like to celebrate my jaw surgery but I realized the other day that I haven’t actually made a post about when I started my blog! My blog and my jaw surgery really go hand in hand because I made “Kimbermoose” when I was in recovery. I was so bored at the time! And I had wanted to start a blog for years, but never had that amount of free time before. So as a fun little way to celebrate 2 years of my blog, here’s the scoop on how I started and the truth behind a lot of my pictures from my first blog posts. Let’s just say for now, pictures can be very misleading to an actual situation.

Don’t Compare Your “Behind the Scenes” To Someone’s “Highlight Reel”

Would you even be surprised if I told you that the first thought I have when I see this quote is Taylor Swift? A few years back she wrote down a “daily reminders” list for this one fan to remember and some variation of this quote was at the top of the list. And not only is that great advice, but if Taylor Swift has to remind herself of that, you know its a real problem. I’m constantly on social media and I always find myself comparing what I’m doing or how I’m doing to the random strangers I follow. That being said, I wanted to share some thoughts on the subject.

Money March

Now that No Fun February is over, I’m moving onto my next monthly theme: Money March. I’ve been joking that Money March is just the month where I spend all the money I saved during No Fun February, but that’s not the case! While I will be spending more money this month, I’ve also made a “to-do” list of sorts that I think will help me make a little more money this month, as well as a few tricks to saving money too. I know we’re already 1/3 of the way through March, but that doesn’t mean its too late to save money!

Embracing Overall Love This Valentine’s Day

As much as I like to put on the cliche front of ugh Valentine’s Day is the worst just to crack some self-depreciating jokes, I don’t actually mind it anymore. Don’t get me wrong! There have been times when I was so bitter and angry about my love life was that I was so petty and spiteful about anything romantic or lovey dovey. But at this current moment, I am relishing in the moment and the fact that I don’t feel heartbreak at this moment. I feel grateful for the love I have and excited for the things to come.

Doing Your Twenties Right

It’s funny to me that I usually make posts like this after I’ve gone to a vineyard. You may remember this post about embracing my post grad stage of life. Well I have returned to good ol’ Big Cork Vineyards for a get together with the girls for my friend Jess’s birthday. And lets be honest, anyone can turn into a great philosopher when girl talk and wine are involved. But honestly, I first started thinking about this blog post over the holidays when I saw one of my friends from college after 6 months.

Resolutions: Let’s Be Real

Truth be told, I love the few days before and after New Years, just because there is so much energy and potential buzzing around the new year. The past few days I haven’t really been on top of the whole blog thing, as I’ve been hard core relaxing. It’s been absolutely wonderful, but now I am ready to get sh*t done in 2019! I’ve done a lot of reflecting on 2018 (which was a seriously awesome year for me) but I’ve also thought about what I want 2019 to bring me. And before you ask, yes, I have New Year’s Resolutions. But something happened the other day that made me question whether or not resolutions are even worth making!

My New Shopping Rules

So this picture is kind of misleading because its not like I buy sparkly ball gowns on the reg. But I did need a picture for this blog post, and this store I visited in Annapolis a few weeks ago was just so pretty. I don’t really take pictures when I shop, and to be completely honest, I usually just online shop. A lot. Am I a shopaholic? Some of my friends have called me that, but I don’t think I’m out of control and we can thank my 5 shopping rules for that. Check them out below!

23 Things I Want To Work On

Since my birthday was a week ago, I was wondering if I should make a “turning 23” post. But I wasn’t quite sure what that would/should be. Since its finally October and the official start to fall, I was thinking about all the fun things I want to do this season and what I need to change in my life to reach my goals. As the leaves change and fall away, I think some of my bad habits should as well. But instead of focusing on only the bad, I want to focus on the good too. Change is good! This time in my life is very unique but I also think 23 is a good year to start getting in the habit of doing certain things to maintain a healthy body and mind. So at the moment, here are the 23 things I’m working on:

Big Cork Winery + Appreciating This Stage Of Life

Over the weekend, I decided to go to a wine festival very last minute at Big Cork Winery in Rohrersville, MD.  I was not planning to go to this event after a night out drinking with the girls. But when two of my best friends, Allison and Jess, both coincidently figured out they were both going in different groups, I decided to tag along. It was very impromptu since I was hungover and didn’t have any decent clothes or make-up with me. I was already 45 minutes from home after sleeping over at Jess’s the night before, but Allison let me borrow some make-up and Jess let me borrow this matching set from American Eagle. I’m obsessed with it! I got so many compliments on it and its so comfortable and flattering on my body. Plus the wine festival was so fun! There was a wine tasting, food trucks and three different cover bands. I sat on the lawn with Allison and Jess drinking wine on a warm, sunny and beautiful day. This winery is located in the mountains and everything was so picturesque. I can’t wait to go back.

There was something that Allison said to me while we were listening to one of the cover bands and drinking Moscato that really resinated with me. She said “Just think, if we were still in college we wouldn’t have been able to come to this today”. And its true because we would be on the Eastern Shore 3 hours away gearing up for our first day of school if we were still in college. Last week I wrote this post about missing college and some thoughts I had on that. But I think after this weekend I’m starting to appreciate this stage of my life and where I am now.
