Baking Day
So because I used to love baking I thought this week I would take a night out of the week and make something new and yummy for a Halloween snack for my boyfriend and I. I decided on oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I have always heard of oatmeal raisin cookies, but never oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Those are my boyfriend’s favorite cookie apparently and he has been dying to see just how skilled I am at cookie making. So I followed a recipe I found on Pinterest like I always do and here is the results! I think I might make something more Halloween themed before the week ends because…

Self-Date
The mission for this week was to take myself out on a date. Spend time with myself and attend to my needs myself. Without help from anyone else. I bet some of you have heard about a self-date, or the phrase date yourself first. But you might wonder what that actually encompasses. I started the day out by going to the gym and I was planning on wearing a cute outfit and going out to a restaurant to have a nice meal somewhere new in Whitewater, but after I got thinking about it is that really what I wanted? I needed to reflect about what I was feeling and how…

Trying New Things
Today’s blog is about trying new foods, as I’m sure you can guess! I love trying new restaurants and new cities and I thought it would be a good idea to spend some quality time with myself while I’m on the journey of rediscovering who I am. I commented to Whitewater for the past two years and I never really experienced anything on campus with friends but I’ve heard this place, Cozumel Mexican Restaurant, has really good Mexican food and I was happy to try it! I ordered something I had never tried before because pushing myself out of my comfort zone helps me find new likes/dislikes in life and…

WORKOUT ROUTINE
I have always wanted to be more consistent and have a weekly workout routine. In high school I participated in a few sports early on, but towards my senior year I just coasted through an intense gym class. I never joined a gym before this semester because I just thought it was a waste of money and I wouldn’t actually follow through even though I wished I be motivated enough to do it. I think what it really comes down to is I so afraid of failing that I just don’t try. I don’t let myself fail by just avoiding the effort in a task. Before COVID-19 I had interviewed…

Morning Routine
Good afternoon everyone! The first step in this journey of bettering myself and finding my likes, and what works better for my daily routine starts with breakfast. My morning routine used to consist of scrolling on apps and procrastinating until the last possible second to shower and rush out the door. Sometimes even way past the point of being able to shower anymore. I would just avoid getting up until I had to work or I had some other obligation that made me get up. I think this started with when I moved out of my moms and I lost sight of how good I feel when I actually try…
