Thank You, Elle Woods
If you're a millennial like myself, you most likely have seen the 2001 classic Legally Blonde at least once, and, if not, you at least know the name. When it came out in the summer of 2001 I was only seven years old, in between first and second grade, so I don't remember the first … Continue reading Thank You, Elle Woods
An Effervescent Force of Put-Together Perfection
A month ago I had my pride hurt a bit by someone I have to see most of the week. The day after, I put a post-it note on my computer at work that reads: an effervescent force of put-together perfection.

What I Learned From My 30 Day Challenge
Recently, (about thirty days ago in fact), I made a post about how I would start challenging myself for thirty days to stick to those pesky New Year's Resolutions and grow into my goals. The plan was that for thirty days I would exercise (a work out or walking 10,000+ steps), study Korean (and add … Continue reading What I Learned From My 30 Day Challenge

Take Care of Yourself
Here's a little reminder to: Make sure you're drinking enough water. Make sure you're eating enough. Have you had fruits and vegetables today? Make sure you'll get enough sleep tonight. When's the last time you talked to your mom? When's the last time you did something for you? Don't be afraid to tell someone when … Continue reading Take Care of Yourself

By now we've reached the point in the year when we've all experienced a setback or two with our New Year's resolutions.
