New Blog: Transition!

Good morning!

This has been a long anticipated transition. I had been using my previous blog, From Here to There, for some time, but the name no longer fit this season in my life since I’m no longer moving around or figuring out my place in life. I lost interest and stopped blogging over the past month or so. I became a vegetarian back in January and so my “dead” blog (Yes, No Bologna did exist once before) has been revived and is now what you see today! I’ll keep From Here to There up for another week or so, but if you enjoy reading my previous blog, then you’ll want to make sure you follow along here so you don’t miss anything when the transition is complete!

Yesterday morning I went on a good run. It was more intervals than anything because I was pretty sore in my butt & calves. I’m starting to notice that I sweat more and I’ve heard that people who are in better shape sweat a whole lot, so I’m hoping that’s the case and not single-handedly because it’s June in Mississippi!

Nick came into town for the weekend, after my run, we all went to eat mexican for Father’s Day. It was delicious, per usual! I got my typical rice w/ sauteed veggies & cheese dip. After lunch we needed to pick up my dad’s gift and settled on a gardening hat & mockingbird feeder for his garden. He loved it and hung up the feeder right away! My sisters were also in town this weekend, so we played some Phase 10 and ate up some watermelon – which is quite possibly my all time favorite summer snack!

We are also saying “See ya real soon!” {in my best Mickey voice} to Nick’s brother and sister-in-law as they move on to Florida!! While we went to Disney back in May, we picked up our baby gifts. We finally gave them those yesterday and they LOVED them, of course! Baby has his very first signature book and the softest, cutest little baby Mickey rattle!

The love I have for these people is unreal! So blessed to have them in my life! Also, that fuschia top is my fave! I got it through Stitch Fix (affiliate link!)

Nick and I also went to see 22 Jump Street and it was HILARIOUS! I was skeptical, but I laughed throughout the whole thing and loved it!!

Now I’m off to work, but hope y’all have a great Monday!

Have you seen 22 Jump Street Yet? Did you love it or hate it?
What’s your favorite summertime snack?

Vote on my Stitch Fix!

I hate shopping.
I despise looking through the racks for hours on end, picking out 20-30 items, trying them all on, to usually come back with nothing that fits right, nothing that’s in my price range, and a few hours wasted.

I’m cheap.
If I’m out at the store and it costs more than $20, I barely even look at it because I know I won’t want to spend the money. Also, I’m not great at finding clothes that fit me perfectly, so I don’t feel I should spend the money on it unless I’m 100% happy with my purchase.

My wardrobe has started dwindling though. I’m running out of cute clothes and I know I need to do some shopping. I’m wearing things out that I usually wear to work because I just have no other options. This is where Stitch Fix comes in. I had been wanting to try Stitch Fix for a while because as mentioned above “I hate shopping” and this seemed like the fix {pun intended}. I read countless reviews on other blogs and was a little nervous – 1. Because some of these girls got terrible fixes and nothing looked right on them. 2. It did seem a little pricey. {refer above “I’m cheap”}

I signed up for it anyways because I literally haven’t gone shopping since I took this new job.

Well, lo and behold, I pretty much loved everything in my fix and I now need your help!

It did end up being pricier than I would EVER pay for clothes at the store, but seriously… these clothes were dropped off at my doorstep and practically fit me in every way possible (style & comfort!). I’m considering getting the whole batch because you get that whopping 25% discount if you do. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the white shirt, but in the end, I think I’ll be happy with it. If you don’t mind, comment below on which items I should get or if you think I should bite the bullet and purchase the entire fix.

I have decided to only do Stitch Fix about once a quarter because of the price, but if I can get a great fix once a quarter where I like all the clothes and don’t have to do my own shopping, it may just be worth it.

Thoughts?

It did come with a styling card as well that I’ll find to be useful.

Off White Tab Sleeve Blouse // $45

Skinny Jeans // $88

Fuschia Top // $54

Navy Cardigan (soften piece of clothing I’ve ever worn) // $78

Anchor Necklace // $38

Leave a comment below telling me which items I should keep or if you think I should get the entire fix. Any help with this decision would be greatly appreciated!

Overall, I loved Stitch Fix, I think my stylist did a wonderful job, my only complaint is the pricing, but like I said, it beats having to scour racks and racks of clothes to more than likely be disappointed with what you find anyways. Does anyone else have this problem shopping?

I need a first sentence generator

Do you ever struggle with the first sentence? I’ve been struggling with the first sentence because there is nothing in the world that would make this post round out. It’s random, I have a million little things on my mind and we’re about to cover a multitude of those! Also, if you have a secret “First sentence blog post” generator, pass that along!

$280.00

I have raised $280 for Diabetes! My ending goal is $300, so I’ll definitely make my goal! The race is this Saturday, 4 days away. I have one more training ride tomorrow. Some joints are pretty sore right now, but overall I’m pleased with the end of my training. It shows possible thunderstorms on Saturday though and I’m gonna be honest – if it’s pouring rain or thundering, I will NOT be riding. I’ll happily donate my money and go about my merry way to Florida.

Florida.

After my race, we’re going to Florida and I’m so excited! Lots of fun will be had in Florida between Saturday and Wednesday. I’m at the frustrating point where it’s hard to concentrate on work, but at the same time, I need to make sure everything is done before I leave. I find myself daydreaming about where I’ll be in 4 days, but then realize that I won’t get there if I don’t get my crap together! haha. It’s been distracting! Only 3 more days of work and then I’m free! {Don’t get me wrong, I love my job}

Cinco de Mayo.

I enjoyed a margarita, queso dip, and rice w/ veggies. It was fun, it was wonderful, and I didn’t snap any great pics. #fail We had an entire section of the restaurant singing along to some American songs w/ a Mexican accent haha.

Re-branding.

I still have this on my mind. It feels necessary at this point. Who knows when it will happen though.

Stitch Fix.

Do you get Stitch Fix? I’ve been contemplating it for so long and I finally did it! I only signed up for 1 so I could get an idea of how it works. From what I hear, it can be expensive and I’m so cheapo with my clothes, so I’m not sure it’ll be for me. It’s worth one try though. My box comes tomorrow! I’ll be sharing my fix and my thoughts and the pricing and EVERYTHING. So if you’ve been thinking about doing it, then check back for that!

Broken Hearted.

I know you’ve all been aware of the precious little red-headed boy that went to be with Jesus Friday night. Reading all of the instagram shares broke my heart in two. I will be praying for this sweet little family and the pain they’re feeling. I only ask that you do the same.

Hug those you love a little tighter tonight and remember this precious family (and the many many many other families who have to suffer through the same devastation) in your prayers.
