Living Minimally

When I first moved into my home with my husband, nothing had a place...my clothes were in bags my school stuff was everywhere and it just felt like chaos. One morning while getting ready for work I had a meltdown, I had plenty to wear I just couldn't find anything. It wasn't one of those "I have nothing to wear" when I'm staring at a closet full of clothes, I literally could not find my clothes because everything was all over the place. This was the beginning of my "revelation". I decided I was going to get a dresser for our bedroom ASAP to have a place for our clothes, developing an organization system in each room, and getting rid of "junk" that we didn't need or didn't use. Moving into a new place really brings to life the amount of "stuff" that accumulates over the years. I was tired of the clutter and confusion that filled my home and in turn my mind.

I have always had issues with my skin breaking out

Wedding Planning

I have been trying to get back into blogging and documenting. In doing so I found this old post that was never published. I am publishing it now (a year later) for keepsake purposes. Wedding planning is the most overwhelming thing EVER.... There are so many decisions to make and I don't want to make any of them. I told my mama when we first started planning that I didn't care and for her to just to decide. Well, soon after that, I was forced to make some decisions. It hasn't been so bad, it's just that I get overwhelmed very easily when I am faced with more than like two options, so picking out flowers, deciding on invitations, picking bridesmaids dresses...all that stuff was very stressful for me. I just want to relax and enjoy this whole process which is why I've sort of "given" the wedding to my mama. I told her what I wanted an also told her that I'm not very particular because I can't be...it took her a while to get that (she finally und
