November Favorites

The end of November is near, and that means holiday season is in full swing, Christmas music is blasting from my speakers, and it’s time for my November favorites! This month has flown by. Do I say that in every monthly favorites post? Probably, but it always seems so true! November marks the beginning of holiday season, at least for me. I restrict myself from listening to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. I can’t wait for December because all of my family is coming in to town and I get to be back at home for an entire month!

I’m going to start out with white fudge Oreos. I don’t know if you’ve ever had them, but if you haven’t, you’re seriously missing out.

The Effects of Social Media

The other night before I went to bed, I started thinking about how crazy this world has become. I don’t know about you but if it’s 2 AM, I start thinking about weird stuff and then I just can’t go to sleep. This was one of those nights. Absolute torture for me because I had a major test the next morning at 8 AM. Oh the joys of crazy, late-night thoughts. This post is going to be a little different than my normal college lifestyle posts. This is a partial rant and partially me just trying to figure out this technology-obsessed world.

I Started A Vlog?

Exciting news! I decided to start a YouTube channel for all of the behind the scenes of this blog. I’m one of those people who loves to see all of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. I love when artists release behind the scenes of their music videos, and especially when bloggers talk about the process of making their blog. I think it makes people seem like they’re real, especially celebrities.

Black Friday Wishlist

black friday wishlist

It’s that time of year again! Black Friday is here, and I have my wishlist ready. Notice how I say wishlist. There is no way that I can or will get all of these things on Black Friday, but one can wish right. Plus, this list gives me an idea about what I want for Christmas! I don’t go crazy over Black Friday, but if Target has a deal on sweaters or anything for that matter, I’ll be in store to check it out.

I was searching the Target website and found their Black Friday ad. Let me just say I will be at Target at 6pm on Thanksgiving when the doors open. They have their sweaters 40% off…. umm…. I’m actually obsessed with their sweaters so I will be stocking up! Here are the ones I am currently looking to get: (you can click on the image to go directly to the Target site!)

Must Have Thanksgiving Dishes

thanksgiving dishes roundup

I don’t know about you, but as I’ve gotten older I have learned to love Thanksgiving more and more. The food, the family, the weather. Everything is perfect. I mean of course there’s always that crazy uncle and the constant  buzz of what seems like 100 kid running around. And, as a college student, I am deprived of nice, home-cooked meals for months at a time. I have been looking forward to Thanksgiving since the day I moved in! It can’t be Thanksgiving without delicious food either! These are recipes for my MUST HAVE Thanksgiving recipes.

Blogging Schedule for Busy College Students

blogging schedule for a busy college student

As a college student, I am extremely busy. Sometimes it can be very overwhelming to balance college and blogging, so that’s why I came up with my own blogging schedule! I searched Pinterest to see how other people worked around their busy schedules and still create amazing content. Everyone works differently, and everyone has their own schedule. What may work for me may not work for you at all! This is how I make sure I get posts up on time and stay active throughout the week.

I think that my schedule can be broken up into to categories: the weekend and weekdays. I do a majority of my work on the weekends and do the lighter stuff like promotion and uploading during the week. This allows me to focus on school during the week and focus on blogging during the weekend. Sometimes blogging can feel like a full-time job, partially because it is, and my schedule really helps me avoid that feeling.

Taking some time outside of CrossFit to drill down and focus on my weightlifting technique. Snatches and cleans have always been a little intimidating and I’ve been scared to push myself on them for fear of injury. Looking forward to seeing how my lifts progress over the next few months!

Oh, and mental health is doing fantastically, too!

@cattyelizabeth5 and I are back after 3 long months, and we’re so excited to share the first episode of season 5 of Girls Talk! It’s a good one and a pretty great way to spend an hour of your quarantine 💁‍♀️
These photos were taken THREE YEARS AGO... honestl These photos were taken THREE YEARS AGO... honestly it feels like yesterday. I was 9 months in to my fitness journey, tracked macros like it was my job, and religiously went to the gym 5-6 days a week. Seeing this pop up in my “Memories” was just what I needed today because being stuck at home because of my susceptibility to lung problems and #covid_19 has left me highly unmotivated to workout...
