So POPPIN in love!

So POPPIN in love!

20160902_103130
I started my new job in April of this year, and for awhile I was having a hard time feeling comfortable in my space. Now it might only be me- but there’s only so many non-matching desk accessories I can handle in one cubicle before I feel overwhelmed. After some quick lunch-break researching, I found poppin, and I fell in love! I have to have things organized for my own sanity, and their products…

My wonderful co-worker has this amazing blog and I just have to share here. 

I am seriously so impressed! It makes me want to strive to actually keep up with this blog and turn it into something I can share and be proud of.

So hopefully I can get myself in gear and make that goal reality!

High Expectations

I haven’t been able to write anything for awhile. I finally got a job. And when I say finally, I mean waiting for 3 months. At the time it felt like the worst thing in the world. Here I was with a shiny, new degree, and no one thought I was qualified (or at least that’s what I kept telling myself). Looking back at it now, it was only three months. Some people take a whole year off to travel the…

Acceptance: Letting Go

pinky-swear-329329_960_720
Holding onto anything for longer than you should is toxic. Putting effort into anyone who doesn’t give you an equal amount of effort continuously doesn’t make you nice or kind- it just means you’re not looking out for yourself. And that’s important and something I have to remind myself about a lot. I used to believe that I was being rude and unkind if I turned these people down when they asked me…

Grill Time: Cooking With Cat

Grill Time: Cooking With Cat

image1 (1)
**Disclaimer: I don’t like my meat red. That’s my personal preference. Also this was the first time using our community grill and it got done faster than expected** Hello! Today was the first night that we got to grill because of this gorgeous weather! We live in an apartment complex but it has some nice grills out by the pool area. I really don’t need to share how to grill steaks, but the…

I’m A Millennial (And I’m A Hard Worker)

I’m A Millennial (And I’m A Hard Worker)

Today I was told something about myself that I, for some strange reason, just really can’t shake. Maybe my skin isn’t tough enough, or maybe I need to learn to laugh this sort of thing off- but then again it’s not funny. It’s something people actually believe, and now I’m stuck wondering is it actually true?  I was told by a prospective employer that because I am a “Millennial,” I’m most likely…

DIY Spring Mason Jars

DIY Spring Mason Jars

mason jars cwc5
I made these awhile ago, but now that I’m blogging (woop), might as well upload these here. I get these spurts of creativity where I absolutely HAVE to craft something. Which usually means I need to do that for cheap. So I grabbed some mason jars and made them pretty. These are also on my ETSY (the only things on my Etsy really) so you can look at more pictures there too. What You Need: Any size…

The Fine Line

Lately I’ve been pondering the differences between certain situations. You know, the ones where the ever-vague “fine line” comes into play. Obviously, that line isn’t the same in different parts of the world; there’s different traditions, social standards, etc. that influence it. But I suppose then it comes down to what you believe morally, whether it conflicts with regulations or certain ways of…

Irish Soda Bread: Baking With Cat

Irish Soda Bread: Baking With Cat

IMG_0413
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I only got about four hours of sleep last night but I woke up ready to bake for Paddy’s Day. So I decided to start off with the traditional Irish Soda Bread to go with our Shepherd’s Pie I’m making tonight. This recipe really couldn’t be easier in terms of how bread making goes. The hardest part is not eating it as soon as it comes out of the oven because it…

Getting Ghosted…From Employers

Getting Ghosted…From Employers

So I’ve had a pretty bad string of luck looking for jobs since I’ve moved from college. Not necessarily getting interviews- sure I’ve had many sincere rejection letters, but that’s not what’s getting me discouraged. You don’t really get taught how to deal with employers ghosting you. Getting ghosted in the dating world sucks enough. Luckily I don’t have to worry about that anymore, but I never…
