Let's Catch Up...

Hey guys!

Sorry I have been a little MIA lately... this month has just been so busy!
I thought I would do a little life catch up for now because a lot of stuff I wanted to post about is packed away (more on that soon).

So what have I been up to?


Wellll I've been working on redecorating my room, which I am SO excited to share with you guys. I recently painted it and even that has made the hugest difference. I'm just waiting for my new furniture to come in so I can finish it up. Once it's completed, I'll definitely make a post all about my bedroom glow up.

I turned 25 this month! It was a nice low key celebration like I wanted - just dinner with my BF and a small celebration with my family. It was perfect.

I also am starting a new job soon so I had to get some stuff done with that - signing papers, finger prints, etc. It's a government job - a different branch than I was in before. I'm excited to start working again because hello money. BUT it's been nice being off and I'm really nervous because it's a totally new environment and new people. I'm hoping I fit in and can pick up the work quickly. 

My anxiety and over all mental health was a bit all over the place. I'm definitely in a better head space now though. I was just feeling a bit anxious over everything and really just needed some me time. I've been trying to eat healthier and workout because I find that it makes such a big difference in mood. I get into a weird place sometimes where I dwell on negativity and negative situations and it can be hard to get out of that funk. I'm getting there though! It's okay to not to be okay sometimes. It  gets better. Taking time to breathe and enjoy beautiful views (like the photo above - a park in my city) helps a lot!

Tomorrow morning, I am driving to NYC with my BF and our parents. We're going on a cruise, which I am soooooooo excited to for! This will be my 4th cruise. I love being on the ocean and experiencing new places. It's so calming for me. I'll try to do a post about my trip if you guys would be interested in that. It's been a lot of organizing and getting stuff for the trip, but I'm finally all set to go. I'm looking forward to not being constantly plugged in to social media and to take a break.
I am a bit anxious because my brother is staying to watch the dogs and if you didn't know, my dog has epilepsy and I pray that everything goes well. She is my baby and if you're a dog mom like me, you'll get what I'm saying.

My BF's aunt has not been doing the best. She has cancer and things are going downhill, I guess. She's in pain and we're hoping that nothing happens while we're gone and that she'll still be here when we get back. I also found out that my aunt is sick - so please send positive vibes and prayers our way.

Amidst all this insanity, I did manage to treat myself to some new nails and finally changed my boring brown hair to a lighter colour for summer.

I'm sorry if this post isn't really your cup of tea, but sometimes these types of posts are necessary - it's almost therapeutic. Things will still be busy when I get back from my trip with the new job and that, but I do have a lot of great ideas for content. Make sure to stay tuned for that!

I hope you're all doing well!

Until next time,
