Sunday Social

I love link ups, so I'm linking up yet again with Neely and Ashley this time with Sunday Social!


What is your ideal way to relax? Laying on the couch watching television, reading a book, going fishing, or taking a nice drive.

Where is your favorite place to be? Well, realistically my house. I also love being in the mountains though.


Who do you consider your biggest role model? By far, hands down, my mom. She got diagnosed with cancer January 31st of this year and I am so proud of how fast she accepted it, and is fighting it with a smile on her face most of the time. She is so brave and strong. I wouldn't be half the person I am today without her.

What does your life look like in 3 years? Hopefully by then I have my career choice on track (I'm still trying to figure that one out), maybe a baby or one on the way, and definitely both my husband and I have a good, solid work place.

If you could go back and change one decision what would it be? Not a thing. I am one of those cliche people that think everything happens for a reason. Whether or not we see the purpose, or our purpose now, it will come with time. You are exactly where you are supposed to be right now.

What is your biggest accomplishment in life thus far? I think having a job that I'm good at, like, and actually have the opportunity to move up in the company is the best I can come up with right now.

Destination Healthy Hampton

If there is one thing I've always struggled with, it would be my weight. I've always been the girl that wasn't skinny. Since I was young I have had a poor self esteem. And for whatever reason, I never found it in myself to change that girl I always hated. Instead, I would do what I knew comforted me. Eating. I know I'm not the only one who's story is like this. To be honest, I'm not even sure where it all went wrong, and when I started gaining weight. There were times in high school that I felt so low and ugly that I really felt like there was no reason to go on. I'm here though, and now, I'm at the biggest weight I think I've ever been. I look back to high school pictures and think to myself, "I really wasn't all that big." Of course, I was overweight, but not as overweight as I thought I was. I've noticed my clothes from high school don't fit anymore, and it's made my self esteem hit an all time low. All pictures of myself that I see and think, "Wow, I'm so fat." don't exist much anymore since I've erased them from existence because I refuse to see them again. Besides my wedding, because I can't delete memories of a beautiful day, even though I didn't feel beautiful. (I cried for days when I first got my pictures back. It was horrible.)

I have no one to blame but myself. I even got a gym membership from my mom for Christmas last year. I can count on one hand how many times I've been. It is truly pathetic and shameful. There have been so many times I proclaimed, "That's it! Starting now I'll be healthier." It would last maybe a week, and I'd be back to burying my face in a bag of chips. And honestly, lately I have felt not only ashamed of myself, I have felt disgusted. To the point where I don't even like to go out in public anymore.

I have taken charge of my life. It's costing me more money than I want it too, but this investment will give me hope. I'm the kind of person where if I don't see results soon, I give up. I've heard wonderful things about Plexus Slim, and my cousin is a living result of it. I've done my research on it, and I'm excited to start. Tomorrow is the day I begin this new health journey of mine, since I got it in the mail today. I will do an entire post on what it is and how it helps later on when I start to see the results myself. This is going to be a work in progress. I have come to a point where I just want to feel healthier and better. And, if I happen to shed pounds and look better, then I'll be happy about that too.

Here's to Destination Healthy Hampton, and arriving at a happier life.

Succulent Home Decor Pieces


 Spring is in the air! And, I'm hopping on the succulent loving bandwagon. I just can't help it though, they are really pretty. Best of all, they aren't hard to keep alive. A win, win situation for someone who kills every plant she tries to have. I'm keeping one and giving the others to my mom and mother-in-law. I'm having a hard time departing with them though, because they look so good on my dining room table all three in a row like that. I made these three little decor pieces all around $20. You just need four things to make them

  • Succulent plant - you can find these at pretty much any greenhouse I'm sure. These were $2.99 each at mine.
  • The glass bowl/vase - I found these at Walmart for around $2. You could try different shapes and sizes. Like I plan on doing at a later time!
  • Rocks - I also found these at Walmart. There was a bag of them for $5, and I still have half the bag left over.
  • Cactus Mix Potting Soil (Black Gold) - you can find cactus mix potting soil probably at the same greenhouse you buy the succulents. I bought this one for $4.
I love the way they turned out, and have an idea for a bigger, more detailed one that I will share with you guys when I get around to doing it!
