Oh man. I love a big purse….in reality, mine isn’t really a purse, it’s more of a…small suitcase? So, what is in my bag? Let’s get started! This is the bag I’ve been using for most of the summer, an adorable leafy print from Target! 1 pair of fun sunglasses from 5 Below. Got these as a gift for being in a friends wedding last summer! Still my favorite! My pill container, which I got from Amazon. With my hypothyroid, I have to take a pill every morning. Sometimes I run out of time before I go to work, so this allows me to always have them with me! My work badge A $50…

God’s Country.
Do you like country music? If so, take a couple minutes and watch this music video: The very first time I heard this song, it touched my soul. One thing to note, I am not religious. I don’t believe in God, but even with that, this song is everything. It speaks to a way of life, of living. A life that is simple, and kind, and honest. A life that appreciates the smaller things in life. “I saw the light in the sunrise” That land taught me respect, hard work, and love. That family comes before things. It also taught me 13-point pitch and ‘roof ball’ I grew up on…

Diana Palmer Book Review.
I adore romance novels, or at least I used to. Until I got married. Now, half the time they just piss me off. Honestly, if Justin would ever talk to me the way some of those men do…. I can’t decide if I would get divorced, or just cut his balls off. I used to love love love Nora Roberts. But it has probably been at least 2 years since I have read one of her books. I mean, in reality, she has written so many novels that it probably makes sense why she uses the same phrasing over and over…and over…and over in every single book she writes. I…

Losing Weight.
Justin told me that if I really want to lose weight, I need to be held accountable from more than just him. When he lost all of his weight, he put it online and recommended I did too. So, here it goes: Height: 5′ 5″ Weight: 170 lbs approx. Size: 14/16 or around 34 My goal: To either be down to 128 lbs or around a size 6 by the end of the year. So now that I’ve put it out there on the internet, let’s see if I can actually do this.

The First Sunburn of the Season.
Welp. I finally got my first sunburn of the season. I went golfing with Justin one Saturday and this happened… Mind you, this was a couple weeks after it happened. It has finally calmed down and has fully healed (I think). Since turning 30, I’ve been pretty religious about using sunscreen on exposed areas, but I completely for about the fact my hair was up that day. You win some, you lose some. Love ya! RR.

I’m 30!
I turned 30 in March! I’ve been thinking a lot about that day for the past year. What I want my 30’s to be like, what I want to do, how this will impact the rest of my left, etc. The past couple years have really been about trying to lose weight, get fit, only eat good foods, exercise more, blah blah blah. But now that it’s actually here, I have a different list in mind. So here it is. The 10 items I want to spend the next year focusing on. Family. A cousin of mine died the weekend before my birthday, before he even turned 60. Helps put…

Movie Review: Hunt for the Labyrinth Killer (2013)
Alright people. Saturday night. I couldn’t really decide what to watch, so I was browsing through Hulu and found Hunt for the Labyrinth Killer from 2013. The cover image looked stupid, but I decided to watch the trailer. It seriously looked as though the trailer actually gave away who the killer was! What?! So that of course means that I had to try watching it. Which also means I am going to ‘live’ blog this movie. Enjoy the ride guys. News flash: There are spoilers coming, so if you haven’t yet seen this movie, proceed at your own risk. But also, this movie is from 2013 so come on now.…

I Have A Stupid Question…
Okay, raise your hands ladies. How many of you have said this? I’m guessing most of you. I used to do that. I would probably say that before every question I asked. Then one day at work, about 2 years ago, my boss held a meeting for my department. You see, my department was all women and there was one thing she was done hearing. Can you guess what it was? That’s right: “I have a stupid question”. She was done. She never wanted to hear any of us say that again. Do you know why? You’re putting yourself down every time you say that. No boss wants a stupid…

The Joys of Sinus Problems.
I’ve got some pretty mad sinus problems. I have tried so many things: pills, rinses, nasal sprays and so on. My doctor recently recommended seeing an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialist. I just, I don’t want to spend the money on that right now. So I had to find another option. I turned to the one thing I said I would never do. I turned to essential oils. Yup. I did it. I got an oil diffuser and right in front of me was a 3-pack of oils for sinus, sleep and immunity. The only pack left. I guess it was just meant to be. Right? And guess what? It…
