CAREER UN-SATISFACTION

I was 17 years old when I chose my college major. English class always made me feel safe, felt like a natural selection. I don’t blame that 17 year old for choosing what she felt in her heart would benefit her to study. I blame the world of corporate greed for telling her ever since that decision, her life’s path had already been selected. There was no opportunity to grow from there. A choice…

The Curse of Doubt

The curse of doubting yourself is being unable to rely on your instincts- only your insecurities. With every movement through life, you begin to develop the habit of second guessing what you project to the world. I suppose I’ve been on a trajectory to doubt myself completely since birth. Instead of trusting the process, relying on instincts, it’s almost easier to add an extra layer of…

26

I never thought the series of life events strung together to bring me to year 26 of life would include my struggle with anxiety. Driving down the 5 Freeway coming home from a weekend of way too much alcohol and a much needed getaway, I was petrified. I couldn’t decide what was making my heart race; being hungover, nervous about getting back to reality, or just being in control of the car. I…

Content Vs Connection

There are all kinds of blogs on the internet. Fashion, foodie, mom blogs, etc. I follow all kinds and have been for awhile. DISCLAIMER: I support any blogger who puts themselves out there because I know that it can be extremely taxing, this is not blogger-shaming- this is content shaming.

There’s all kinds of posts out there that are curated and worked on for awhile to look the way that they do.…

Hello Sunshining Souls!

SO I thought I would combine the two just to fill a void that cannot be filled. I mean come on, who doesn’t like to do a little cart surfing now & again. Everything is linked in the photos!

HELLO SUNSHINERS!

So um hey 🙂 its been a hot minute since we’ve chatted. I took a much needed break from social media. This blog is something that I love and something that I also only do for myself. That being said, me being a bit inconsistent with it doesn’t always translate into good content. Am I making sense? Idk. I have new changes, new post ideas and a fresh perspective on things. As you saw in my last post, I up & quit my stable job and life has changed quite a bit for me since then. I’m still serving part time and enjoying my free time. I’m getting back to myself since I’ve had so much time to reflect. This week I’m going to school, starting a new book (it’s called…) and trying to make enough tips to support my degenerate shopping habit!

  +Make it to the gym at least 4 days this week.

+Read a chapter a night of my new book.

+Create a new playlist of all new songs.

+Stay organized.

+Pls don’t shop.

  Hope everyone has a great week! What are your goals/plan for this week?

XOXO,

Gone But Not Forgotten… I hope.

Why I Decided to Up & Quit My Stable Job

Why I Decided to Up & Quit My Stable Job

Hello Sunshining world.

I am a 23 year old restaurant server, as of last week. I gave my stable job my two weeks notice after having an internal battle ridden with self-doubt, lack of motivation and much more. If I were to have stayed through my last semester in college, I would’ve landed a full time gig afterwards, salary, benefits and all. While it felt somewhat stable to stay in this position…

What I Think it Means to be Authentic on Social Media

Still figuring out an intro but HI SUNSHINERS.

If you live under a rock, you may have missed that I changed up the way that I “Instagram.” Yes, yes I know. You’re all waiting at the edge of your seat for what comes next.

To be authentic on social media is not an easy thing. I would also like to preface by saying that I don’t believe that its something you just achieve and you’re forever…

Influencing Issues

Hello world.

  The past couple of weeks toward my blog have been ROUGH. Every time I even thought about posting, I didn’t feel like my captions were good enough, my photos were trendy enough and THEN once I thought all of that, I was up in arms because I couldn’t believe I gave a fuckabout things like that. I’m done tailoring myself to what I think instagram is supposed to be, I’m done planning…

Hellllooo Sunshiners!!

I recently noticed that my routine lineup of products had changed A LOT recently and so I thought I would let you all in on what those are!! Be sure to check out my #SunshinePresets and tag me if you try any of these products! The links to each item will be in the caption of the photo.

  Color WOW Dream Coat– This is my holy grail of hair products at the moment. If you blow dry your hair, plain & simple: you NEED this in your life. It is a little pricy for a hair product in my opinion, but completely worth it. My hair looks SO great and I always get complemented when I use this!

ACURE Seriously Soothing Blue Tansy Night Oil– I mix this serum with my moisturizer every night and wake up G L O W I N G. I love this brand and especially this product. A must have.

Botanics Organic Toning Spritz– I love this toner. It’s light, it smells great and the packaging is PERFECT. The spray on the bottle is super satisfying. I use this after I have washed my face but before I moisturize, twice a day!

NYX Angel Veil– Yes, I know you’ve heard of this and YES it is worth allll the hype. I use this primer before my makeup everyday and I love the consistency. I really started noticing a difference in my makeup lasting longer when I started using this!

ACURE Brightening Facial Scrub– I recently incorporated this scrub into my skincare routine and have noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. The coloration after I finishing using this is truly amazing and leaves a nice and natural glow. Also smells yum.

Jade Roller– Okay. I know you’ve seen this weirdo contraption before. I started using this when I wake up (before I workout so I don’t scare my gym as much) and before I go to bed. Since then, I’ve noticed my skin being a bit… tighter? I leave this in the fridge and I use it until both sides are not cold anymore.

Wet N Wild Natural Finish Setting Spray– I’ve been on the hunt for a good affordable setting spray that didn’t smell like shit for I don’t know how long. This spray smells SO good and I love the packaging as well (great spritz).

Milani 2 -In-1 Foundation + Concealer– YOU GUYS… I found my all-time favorite foundation that I’ve EVER tried. I have tried beauty guru’s favorites to drugstore dupes to expensive ass foundations and I’ve never liked one this much. It truly blends into your skin SO nicely. If you do anything with this post, buy this foundation.
