It has been six months since my dad left this life. Six months since he read a newspaper. Six months since he walked his dogs. Six months since he mowed his lawn. Six months since he filled his bird feeders. Six months since he listened to music from one of the five stereos in his … Continue reading Six Months Since
*I am in no way trying to trivialize the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is simply meant to lighten the mood and get excited about a few benefits of practicing social distancing: a practice once so foreign to us.* COOKING/BAKING It is so fun to see everyone trying new recipes.

I'm realizing how much I love Tuesdays. I don't think the average person would pick Tuesday as their favorite day of the week. However, I have come to love Tuesdays. Tuesdays typically are my day off from work. As much as it bothers me to work most weekends, there is something calming about having a … Continue reading As I sit in this coffee shop…
I was single for over five years before getting into my current relationship. I think because it had been so long, I was extra excited being around someone new and experiencing new feelings. For at least two months, we saw each other as much as we could. He was secretly visiting me at work, I was … Continue reading Why I was terrified of the “honeymoon phase” ending
It's been about two months since I finished my Accutane treatment and everyday I am still in shock that my skin is so FABULOUS. I'm obsessed.

It's been exactly two months since I took my last "progress pics." I should mention that I really should have taken my previous pictures in better lighting because they barely show the redness. This is how my skin looks today: This is my skin fresh out of the shower with some moisturizer and in much better … Continue reading Accutane update: Five months down
I have been having headaches, well migraines, for almost a year now. Before then, I had never really suffered from headaches. But within the last year, especially the last few months, I have been getting them three to four times a week and they last at least two hours. Sometimes I will take some ibuprofen … Continue reading Headache solution: Putting my faith in the daith
I took these pictures on September 9th, right around my three month mark of being on Accutane. As you can see, my skin hasn't improved much. I still have new breakouts and the redness is pretty bad. However, in the beginning of July, my skin (pictured below) was the worst I had ever seen it … Continue reading Accutane update: Three months down
