every wander

Knowing it’s almost summer Knowing you’re almost free Free from the tangles of coats The cold winter sting. Now walking outside feels like a dream The blossoms of trees The smell of the breeze The touch of the grass on your fingertips The temperature of the concrete on your feet. And though it rains Afterwards the world feels so clean The shining sun The clear air after the fog The light reflections in the sky Even the people seem more bright Waking up to Spring is just the most wonderful, inspiring thing. -CSV.  

I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Am I content? I’m not sure. I feel that there’s so much more. Too much more. Time is eaten by all these events and activities But what do I want to do. What is there for me to do. What more can I do than these everyday life activities. I feel trapped But free. Free in this trap I’ve created. I’m getting eaten by the bills, the people, the environment. Do I have the power to change anything. I do But will I? No I’m unsurely content. In life is order And this is part of the order of life. I couldn’t imagine it any other way. -CSV

I always get dragged into stores by their coupons. ULTA sends you 3.50 off of a $10 purchase coupon monthly and so of course I go there with intentions of just getting things I know I need and would get at Target or Walmart anyways. I purchased the Cetaphil daily facial cleanser I've been wanting to try and a peel-away clay mask. Since I've recently stopped taking birth control pills, my hormones have been reacting and I've been getting pimples all over so I thought I would focus on my face. Cetaphil daily facial cleanser. This product is very soft on the skin. I feel like it isn't doing too much for my skin though. I might just be too use to having a cleanser that is also an exfoliant so it feels like it's not doing as much as my old cleansers. I probably won't be re-purchasing this product. Freeman's Sweet Tea & Lemon Peel Away Clay Mask . I really like this product, even though the peel comes off flimsy and light so you're not really able ...

The month of February has been quite eventful! Well...I guess not quite, but I got my first job out of college! And well...I guess I've realized that having a job takes up a lot of time. I began this month with accepting an offer and getting a nice free week off from worrying about job searching or actually working. The month continued on with going out of town for my job training. Traveling essentials ;) How I spent time in my hotel room In front of the White House The Pentagon from up top    And at the end of it, I was wishing I was back in... I was back just in time for Valentine's Day to spend with my man.  I also got to enjoy February with a few more things, like... enjoying the view from my work space.  Wearing sweats for Frumpy Friday at work.  National Margarita day.  National Chili Day I ended the month with great Minnesota weather (55 degrees, IN FEBRUARY!) and celebrating my birthday with.....

This is my absolute favorite way to eat oats! Overnight oats make a healthy and quick breakfast alternative. Oats are a great source of dietary fiber, which lowers level of bad cholesterol. There are so many more other health benefits of eating oats! Overnight oats is also very adjustable in making changes to the ingredients so it's just the way you like it! Additionally, it's very fast to prep for tomorrow's breakfast and cheap. Here's how I enjoy making my overnight oats! Ingredients:  1/2 cup of Rolled oats 1 small container of Yogurt 1/2 cup of Almond milk Pinches of Ground cinnamon Directions:  1. For overnight oats, you will need rolled oats. Fill up your container with about 1/2 cup of rolled oats. I'm using a mason jar that has helpful measurement marks on the side of the container. 2. For liquid, I am using unsweetened almond milk, but you can also use normal milk, sweetened almond milk, or even water. I fill it up to measure out about the sa...

My Main Screen There are so, so, soo many apps in the app store, especially for Android users. I have personally been an Android user for a long time. I currently have a LG G2, which is a pretty old model but it was a quick replacement for my last phone that I lost while Christmas shopping. With all the apps in the app store, there are always those few apps that really stand out as being really great and functional. Here's my list of the apps I loved and their uses: 1. TwoDots : This game has literally become my life, well at least for when I'm either bored, stressed, need to concentrate, or sometimes before I sleep. It's simple with connecting the dots and kind of has a bejeweled-feel, but the games keep things interesting with adding new "powers" or features to the game that makes you want to keep playing to see what new powers will be next. When I lost my phone, this game was one of the first apps I downloaded and I was so glad to see I didn't lose m...
