melina's book club #10

Hey guys! How are you today? Welcome back to April's book club post. If you didn't know this, I write one of these monthly!

dear diary, #3

I've been really like these informal just sit down and type what comes to mind type of posts. I mean I think I have a very "conversational" style of blogging in general, but these posts are so much less organized than my ordinary posts. I feel like the last two months have just been flying by. I've been reading a...

It's been a while since I talked anything beauty. The last time I wrote a beauty post was all the way back in October! I'm so obsessed with makeup, and yet I don't talk about it much on here. I decided to change that a bit, and add a bit more beauty posts on my blog. Today, I'm going to...

what i was grateful for in march. |2019

Here we are in the fourth month of the year, and all I can think about is where has the time gone? I've been busy working out, planning my trips for the next few months, spending time with friends and family, and working out the details for my latest surprise (which I still can't tell you about unfortunately). March was a...

i am my own worst critic.

I can stare at a photo that was just taken of me, and can instantly tell you at least three things I don't like about myself in the photo. I am my own worst critic. I don't know if I was always this way...actually I know for a fact that I wasn't. I used to hate having my photo taken....

Workout Journey Update | March 2019

Wow, I was looking back to the last time I wrote one of these...since 2017. It's been a little less than two years since the last workout update. I'll be honest, I thought a lot about updating you guys more often, the problem was, that I wasn't really always that consistent. I'd have months where I would work out 2-3...
