Reunited and It Feels So Good

Aloha! (I've been watching too many SprinkleofGlitter videos, can you tell? LOL) A few days ago, I met up with two of my best friends in the entire universe. I absolutely loved getting to hang out and chat, all three of us, as we've not all been in the same place in a very long time. None of us live super close together and as I don't drive, I had to bus/trek it to meet up with them, but I'm glad I did. I think making that extra little bit of effort is always worth it when it comes to friends like these. <3 If you'd like to know more about what I got up to with them, check out my YouTube channel, where I daily vlog. :) I took a few randoms snaps so I thought I'd share! Hope you're all well! xx

Tunnel Vision

Hello, hello! I hope you're all having a wonderful and blessed 2015 so far! Mine's been quiet and full of a lot of rest and reflection and today I finally set foot outside my door! Shock horror! LOL Dalton (my best guy friend, if you don't know :)) called me and we were on the phone for so long, we decided to head outside of our houses for a little stroll and chat. I ventured to trail not far from my house and brought my camera along with me! The sun was already setting so a lot of my photos turned out very "Blair Witch Project", but I think I got some alright shots. Hehe It was lovely chatting to the best and being outside. <3 Talk to you all soon! xx

It's The New Year!

Hello lovelies! As some of you may have noticed, none of the rest of the 2014 Blogger Challenge posts went up. FAIL. I had absolutely planned on uploading the last few topics and also editing and uploading my vlogs on my YouTube channel and it just...didn't happen. Haha! I just dawdled around and then I got sick (I'm still actually sick by the way, bleh) and I just didn't get them up before the new year. Since this is the case, I am going to, painfully, leave the 2014 Blogger Challenge unfinished and continue on with new posts! What kind of posts will those be? I'm not sure yet, honestly. I'm not entirely sure where I want to go with this blog this year, so for the time being I'm going to wing it. I hope you stick with me for another (ideally, more consistent) year! <3

To reign in the new year, I thought I'd just talk about some of my goals, which may or may not have just come to mind yesterday... Anyway! Here they are:

• Spend an hour a day outside
• Read 20 books before the end of the year
• Write, whether journaling, blogging, free-writing, etc, every day
• Attend my therapy and group sessions weekly
• Walk/Yoga 3 times a week
• Start waking up before 10am
• Be more mindful and at peace with myself and the world. 
• <3

I hope everyone had a lovely New Year's Eve! Here are some photos from mine, enjoy! xx

HAHA!

What did you do on New Year's Eve? What are your goals or resolutions and such this year?

New Friends

Hello beautiful people! So my Sunday posts have basically been extremely early Monday morning posts so far. :P Basically I'm changing this to Sunday/Monday posts from now on, hopefully there's a few night owls out there who will see this. Lol Recently I've been getting to know two new friends, Ashton and Aleya, and it's been really awesome making new friends and making connections with people again! It's been so long since I've met anyone new and started forming a relationship with them so it's been so nice being with these two. It's amazing getting to hear their stories of their lives and their struggles and how they've come out of it.

Honestly, meeting Ashton and hearing a bit of what he's gone through has really brought out my old school "mama" side. I don't know if I've ever shared this with all of you, but a few years ago my "role" in my group of friends was the mother figure who took care of everyone and made sure they were safe and well fed and loved and that's how I ended up receiving the nickname "mama" for a few years. Everyone kind of started going their own way and started growing up a bit so my mama role was less needed and I started taking care of myself more. It's good to take care of myself and all, but I kind of miss taking care of people. Not to say that Ashton needs taking care of, but he does need a good friend, I think, and it's nice building that relationship with him and with Aleya as well!

Bit of a short random post tonight, but what's new? I hope you're all well! Xx

Photo Fun at the Park!

Hello everyone! So probably about a month ago, Heather and I went to a park by my house to study and read and we also took some pictures. :) This is the day that my OOTD for the 2014 Blogger Challenge came from and I've been wanting to get these pictures up for ages so here they finally are! Thank you to the gorgeous Heather for being an amazing subject to photograph!

Disclaimer: Some of the photos are more obviously edited with filters and what not than others. :P

The only photo in this set of me (or my feet, rather).
I just loved this shot of my creepers for some reason!

Whelp, I hope you all liked the photos! We had fun taking them! :) Hope you're all well and keep an eye out for my Topic 10 of the 2014 Blogger Challenge to go up between today and the 20th!

A Little Look-See

Here's a few (or more than a few) pictures of what I've been up to the past few weeks. :) Some of these photos are candid-esque and others slightly more photo shoot-y, you decide which is which; either way enjoy!

Look at that mug! :)

My beautiful friend, Ariella's, cat. :)

And her dog.

And her amazing book collection! :D

The start of a new trail I've come to love in the past few weeks. :)

The start of an amazing night with some of my best friends! :) (Vlog coming tomorrow!)
