Hello everyone, this is probably my 800th attempt at starting a blog that I will actually keep track of. While I am usually very good at following through on my commitments, for some reason blogging has proven to be a little more difficult than others. I think what has led me to fail at this in the past was my intention to stick with one solid theme and write about one thing. To be honest, that's just NOT who I am. I'm human, I'm always changing and I always have so much on my mind, so I'll be trying something a little different this time.

Instead of confining myself to a box, which can be hard to do on a large world-wide web, I'll cover it all on here. Small stuff like fashion and makeup, but also heavier topics like my struggle with my mental health and professional goals. To get us started and help you learn a little more about me, here's a few fun facts:

1. I'm a Gemini (born May 24th) and celebrating 26 years of roaming the Earth. Being a Gemini often means I change my mind a lot and can seem flaky in some scenarios, but loyal in others.
2. February 2018 I married the love of my life, a wonderful man named Pete. We've been together for nearly 4 years total now, and are very happy (at least he says he is).
3. I have a cute Corgi pupper named Remy who may seem really cute and adorable, is a true terror sometimes with the way he likes to chew everything. I post a lot of photos of him so get used to it.
4. I'm a 1st Lieutenant in the Army National Guard. I commissioned in 2014 as one of the first female combat arms officers. Some people think it's a big deal but to me, I'm just doing the job I was always meant to do. 
5. I love to read and am always looking to learn more every chance I get. I firmly believe education doesn't stop in the classroom. 
6. I had a career in Public Relations and Social Media Marketing, but have recently decided to go in another direction and apply for Law School to accomplish my dream of becoming a lawyer.
7. Comfort over style any day of the week is my mantra. I love comfortable clothing and I feel that the price of style is too high to sacrifice comfortable clothing. 
8. Pastels and blue are my favorite colors. I am pretty pale, but am still convinced I look decent in pastel colors. 
9. I eat a lot and I don't care. I love food, and trying new foods for that matter. I work part-time now at Whole Foods, so recently I've adopted a healthier lifestyle and seen that green veggies aren't so bad.
10. Before I met my husband, I had never left the country. He has really opened my eyes to a new world out there and now I love to travel!
11. Craft beer is my passion and yes I am a craft beer snob. I like drinking beer and going to breweries, judge me go ahead!
12. I listen to many different kinds of music, but I cannot stand country. Sorry, nothing personal Brad Paisley, country just is not for me.

Well, I feel like I gave you all a pretty fair starting point to figure out who I really am. I really hope you enjoy my posts and feel free to follow me on Instagram to see more of my day-to-day happenings!
