And … Continue reading Hey there! →

Happy Holidays

Hello, everyone. I hope your holiday season is going well. Things have been crazy over here, but I just finished submitting final grades for the fall semester, so I will have a little room to breathe over the next couple weeks. Though this holiday season is much different than it usually is, there is a … Continue reading Happy Holidays →

Happy Halloween!

Okay, I've committed a grave blogging sin -- I have completely lost track of time and haven't been on here in a month, and for that, I am sorry. I'll do a quick catch-up post and show you what I've been up to during my favorite season! I'll recap the healthy living stuff first: I'm … Continue reading Happy Halloween! →

Last Weeks of Summer

I can't believe there are only few weeks left of what has to have been the weirdest summer in years. Though time is flying by and I haven't had the chance to swim or go to a beach (not risking it), I have definitely been able to enjoy the outdoors this summer. I've done lots … Continue reading Last Weeks of Summer →

A Week of Reflection

Hello, everyone. Last week, I participated in a week of silence, or muting my content to allow Black voices to be heard, stories to be told, artists and influencers to be spotlighted, etc., and I also spent time reflecting, educating myself, and committing myself to doing whatever I can to contribute to making the world … Continue reading A Week of Reflection →

A Beautiful Week in Chicago

Elimination Diet Week 2

Hey, everyone. Hope you're all holding up okay. Well, I made it through my first week of the elimination diet. It hasn't been too horrible, although I do miss chocolate! So far, I haven't noticed any significant improvements, but it almost seems like my skin is clearing up a bit. The hormonal acne hit me … Continue reading Elimination Diet Week 2 →

Starting May and Finals Week

I have not written in a couple weeks because I have been super-busy with grading and work. Well, today, I finally hit "submit" on final grades and I can breathe a little easier! Since the last time I wrote, I've done a bunch of home workouts, tried to get outside as much as possible, and … Continue reading Starting May and Finals Week →

An Overview of Craziness

Hey, everyone. I haven't blogged in about a month. Things have been so crazy for me since the beginning of March. Working in the communications department of a university requires a lot of intensive work during a crisis. COVID-19 opens up questions and decisions that need to be made about students, faculty, staff, facility, services, … Continue reading An Overview of Craziness →

Catch-Up Post

Hello--it's Sunday evening and we just had a fifty-degree day in Chicago. Julian, Oliver, and I spent it in the woods. I had a full week of healthy eating, workouts, and doctor appointments, so I'll try to bring things up to speed here starting from last Sunday. I spent the morning grading. Sometimes, it's really … Continue reading Catch-Up Post →
