IUD Experience Part 1: The Before & My Struggle with PCOS

NOTE: As you’re reading this (if you’re reading this on the day it’s published), I am probably sitting on the couch with my heating pad and watching Netflix because I had my IUD inserted today. Please send me funny memes and cat pictures on Twitter and Instagram so I can laugh away the pain 🙂

As a 21-year-old woman, I feel that I don’t have the knowledge I should have about my own body and living a healthy, fulfilling life without worrying about the possibility of children at a time where I am just now figuring out who I am in life.

Here’s the College Must-Have’s that I Can’t Leave My House Without

Hi, hello internet friends!

This post was meant to go up yesterday but I came down with a horrific migraine on Monday which ended up carrying over into Tuesday so yeah. Migraines suck.

This year is my first in regards to not living on campus. I no longer have the luxuries of always having everything I could possibly need within 20 minutes of walking. It’s kinda weird.

Now, I’m forced to carry around everything I could possibly need for a day of classes. Somehow in the blink of an eye, my backpack weighs 300 lbs and it’s going to cause me to have back problems in a few years. But I have found my solution! These are the items that I CANNOT leave the house without…

If you don’t believe me, find me on campus and make me show you all of these items in my backpack LOL

Let’s Talk Inspiration & Motivation

This post is sponsored by adidas. All opinions are my own. Thanks to you, I have the amazing opportunity to work with brands that I love, and in turn, collaborations like this make Living the Gray Life possible!

I’ve done a similar post to this before, but that was wayyyyyy back at the beginning of my fitness journey. We’re talking like two years ago… And while that was is still perfectly relevant, it focuses more on fitness. Not inspiration and motivation in life.

My thoughts on motivation and inspiration have definitely changed since then, so when adidas reached out to me to see if I was interested in speaking about this particular topic, I almost instantly responded to their email with an “OMG YES PLZ LET ME POST ABOUT THIS.” (do note that I am a bit more professional in my emails than that, lol)

Fall Activities to Help You Live Your Basic White Girl Life

Seasons didn’t used to be my thing. I could’ve cared less about going from summer to fall or from spring to summer. When someone would ask me what my favorite season was, my answer would always be ‘I don’t have one.’

Now if you ask me what my favorite season is, there’s a 87.9% chance that I’ll blurt out the word FALL faster than me clicking on the new Shane Dawson & Jake Paul video…

The One Thing You Need to Focus on if You have to Miss a Workout

Can't Make it To The Gym? Here's what you should do...

In this post, I’m going to discuss my feelings and suggestions towards not being able to make it to gym one day and not allowing that to screw up your goals and fall off track.

This was a topic that I recently posted about on my Instagram stories, and I got several replies saying that people wanted to see a full, dedicated blog post on the subject. Here I am fulfilling that promise!

There’s no reason to freak out if you can’t make it to the gym one day. Focus on your diet and make it the best you can for that day. It’ll all work out in the end.
