Hey there! So, today is my 20th birthday! Aaaand it’s also the day before my first final. This week has been busy and stressful, and it will continue to be until Thursday at 12:30, but I wanted to pop in and say hi and apologize for not responding to comments right now. Just know that…
About me
Deep Dark Chocolate Fudgy Mug Cake
This dark chocolate fudgy mug cake takes under 5 minutes to make and seriously satisfies intense chocolate cravings. It also happens to be gluten-free, can easily be made vegan, and is pretty freaking healthy. Are you a patient person? Am I a patient person? Well, it depends. If I’m explaining basic math to a kid, sure. If my mom…
On Body Image
Hey, guys! I hope your Tuesday is off to a good start. I’m just popping in briefly. See, I don’t have a new post here for you today, but I did write one for you to go check out on Emily’s blog! She was kind enough to let me share some rambles on body image, and I…
Five Friday Favorites 02/26/16
Happy Friday! Ready for the weekend? I sure am. It’s supposed to be another beautiful one here, I don’t have a ton of schoolwork, I’m headed to a student fashion show tonight, and my parents are coming to see me. We’re mostly planning on hanging out and having downtime together, and I’m quite content with…
Give Yourself Permission
Ever since the beginning of high school, I have been excellent at joining things. That’s what people tell you to do, after all, whenever you’re in a new place: get involved. I’m not discrediting that. I’ve acquired a lot of skills and met a lot of really cool people by “getting involved” in activities in both…
Day in the Life #10
Whenever I do day-in-the-life posts, they feel a little extra self-indulgent, but you all always seem interested in what I’m up to. I guess bloggers and blog-readers are a nosy bunch, eh? Anyway, since I have a pretty set posting routine in the latter half of the week, I often only chronicle my Mondays or Tuesdays….
Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Donuts
When I was in sixth grade, the place to be on Friday nights was the local ice rink. “Friday Night Meltdown” was a big deal, and people would go and hang out with friends and eat stadium snacks and listen to top-40 hits. Was ice skating cool where you were in middle school? Is it a…
Things I Don’t Do
We’ve been over this before, so I won’t dwell too much on it, but I really like routine. A lot. Well, this weekend was very unroutine. It was also wonderful. Why? Well, my parents visited, so that was (duh) lovely. But also just because of some things I don’t usually do. I totally broke routine this weekend,…
Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Poppers
Growing up, most of my dinners included a vegetable on the side. Sure, we had one-dish meals where the vegetable was included, and very occasionally veggies were neglected entirely - but there was usually a decent serving of produce on my plate. Sometimes that side was a real dish, like green beans amandine or a…
Five Friday Favorites 01/29/16
TGIF! Is it just me, or did this week feel seriously long? I’m not usually the person who counts down to the weekend, but this week… I’ve been that person. I totally believe you should love and look forward to more than 2/7 of your life (as in, not just Saturday and Sunday), but I…
