May Recap
I'm trying to stay consistent with these "new" personal life updates! I've been thinking a bit about them lately, and I think it's funny that it took me so long to launch into doing posts like these! :) I always thought that doing life updates posts would be rather boring for my blog readers (which is kind of ironic anyway, since blogging is often like one big life update medium!)...and yet I always love reading personal life updates from other bloggers! So, that's the long way to say I'm glad … [Read more...]

April Recap
I started a new little series recently where I shared what I'm looking forward to in April. At the start of the month each month, I want to do a “What I’m Looking Forward To” post and at the end of each month, I want to do a “Recap” post. This is mostly because I feel I’ve really let personal life-update posts slide lately And I also want this blog to act as a personal journal or way to document what’s going on in life right now. April Recap: Can you believe April is over already? It's … [Read more...]

Let's jump right in! 1 // So, … [Read more...]
