Life Lately

appy Monday everyone! It's been a hot minute since I began typing for this space. I needed to take a break, though this time it wasn't planned. It just happened. So many emotions have taken root since March (my last post) and the thought of pouring my soul onto a blank canvas was the last thing I felt like doing. Now that I'm here, I didn't realize how much I've missed it.

I honestly don't know what I desire for my blog. The typical how-to posts may not be what I'm after anymore, which is why I haven't created any content recently. I suppose this space is just going to be a place where I share my life happenings + feelings. More raw, real life stuff that isn't always glamorous. While I'm in the process of figuring out what I want that to look like, let's just dive into a few things I've been up to.

Watching: 
I just finished The Hart of Dixie. It was a little cheesy towards the end, but during the first two seasons, I was hooked. Honestly, I was just getting a kick out of the 2012 fashion trends and smokey eye looks, haha. Has anyone else seen it?

Reading: 
Summer reading can finally be a thing! No more college means I can choose a book to read for pleasure. I am planning on reading Masterpiece by Francine Rivers and Every Breath by Nicholas Sparks. These are two of my favorite authors so hopefully, they won't disappoint.

Listening: 
One artist that I found while searching for old music I listened to in high school was Austin Mahone. Many of you may not know who he is, but he reminds me of a blend of Justin Bieber and Ne-Yo. A few favorites include "Way Up, Do It Right, and Except For Us."

Struggling With:
All the feelings that come with being a post-grad. I'm not done by any means but I do have a little window of time before jumping into my next program to become a teacher. I'm still working in retail, but it feels weird not having any homework.

Looking Forward To:
Creating a travel art journal. I have been trying to create my own for years now but they never worked well for me. But, I saw this YouTuber begin one and it was more like a scrapbook/sketchbook for painting. I just ordered a blank sketchbook from Amazon and I can't wait to get started. I have two fun trips coming up this summer and I hope to share them on here soon!
