WOAH. Hi friends! It has been WAY too long. Life has been a little crazy, but so so good. I figured it would be fun for me to give ya’ll a life update since I haven’t posted about myself for a while.
WOAH. Hi friends! It has been WAY too long. Life has been a little crazy, but so so good. I figured it would be fun for me to give ya’ll a life update since I haven’t posted about myself for a while.
In March I landed a full-time job as a Staff Accountant for a Fund Administration firm. Pretty much doing a mix of accounting and data entry for companies that work with investments. It’s ALL remote which I’m loving, and the company is so great. They were actually founded as a remote company so they were ahead of the game when Covid hit. They’re experts at WFH so I get a good balance of communicating with my team and not feeling too secluded during the day.
I just went home to Ohio to visit in April and that was wonderful. I got to see so many friends and family and catch up with a lot of people. It’s so good getting to be home, I definitely missed it a lot and am already planning my next trip back, haha. I had a spa day with my mama, a day in CLE with my cousin, hit up the ol’ country bar for some line dancing, visited my alma mater and ate SO much good food. It was honestly rough coming back to work after all that.
Annnnnnd, just about two weeks ago I bought a new car! Well, certified pre-owned. She’s a 2019 Chevy Equinox named Edna. She’s a beaut I’ll tell ya. I’m so blessed, I had my list of all the features I wanted and I got all that and MORE. This is the biggest purchase I’ve made… ever, lol. It felt so good getting to buy myself something so nice. Especially after working so hard to get a good job and save save save.
In short, life is wonderful but chaotic in the best way. I’ve checked off two big goals for the year and can’t wait to keep going. I’m hoping to find a good posting schedule that isn’t too overwhelming with work, so bear with me as I figure this out.
I hope you all are doing GREAT, and I’m hoping to have another post come out very SOON! If you have any ideas of things you’d like to see please let me know! I’m always looking for inspiration.

Happy February friends! Holy cow, I can’t believe it’s already February. Usually January feels soooo long, but honestly this year it flew. I’m ready for a new month and a new chance to better myself! But, in honor of January coming to an end I wanted to recap my TV favorites: all the tv shows I’m currently watching/re-watching or binged during January.
Let’s get into it!
Schitt’s Creek
Rewatching
This is my comfort show right now so I always have it playing.
10/10
The Vampire Diaries
Rewatching
This is my second time through. A lot has happened that I forgot about. I sometimes feel like I’m watching it for the first time, haha.
9/10
The Bachelor
Currently watching, I’m not sure what season this is (there have been so many, lol)
I’m a Bachelor fanatic, but this season definitely isn’t my favorite, hopefully it gets better with less drama.
5/10
LA’s Finest
Binged
Sadly, it was cancelled after 2 seasons and Netflix is only streaming the first season, but it was really good!
8/10
WandaVision
Currently watching
AHHH, this show is SO good! Since I just finished rewatching all the Marvel movies, this is giving me my “Marvel” fix. Love it.
20/10
Riverdale
Currently watching
I believe this is season 5. Honestly, at this point I’m keeping up with the show out of loyalty and not so much interest. HOWEVER, it still has really good parts and I’m super excited for the 5 year time jump.
6.5/10
Legacies
Currently watching
Season 3. Legacies holds a special place in my heart because I love The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.
8/10
Upload
Binged
Holy cow, this show is soo good. I can’t wait for season 2. For any The Office lovers, this show was created by Greg Daniels and he didn’t disappoint.
10/10
The Good Place
Currently binging
This follows the afterlife storyline similar to Upload and was also created by The Office’s Michael Schur. Super into this one, I honestly never know what to expect next.
10/10
What TV shows were you binging in January?

Love you guys so much, thank you for the support & I’ll see y’all next week.
I’ve always wanted to do a What’s in My Bag? post, I think they’re so fun. I love seeing the differences in everyone’s bags: what they love, need, and have “just in case.” I always end up buying at least one thing (usually more) from their recommendations.
Happy happy Monday, fam! I’m so excited for today’s post. I’ve always wanted to do a What’s in My Bag? post, I think they’re so fun. I love seeing the differences in everyone’s bags: what they love, need, and have “just in case.” I always end up buying at least one thing (usually more) from their recommendations.
If you’re interested to see what I have in my bag, keep reading!
My bag is from the company LOVEVOOK it comes in a set of 3, this is the biggest. I absolutely love this bag, it holds so much! Even with all this in it, it has plenty of room for more. It’s very sturdy, spacious inside, and there’s plenty of pocket space as well. Also, I love that it’s tan because it goes with EVERYTHING.
Planner
I can’t go anywhere without my planner. It has all my tasks, errands, and activities in it. It literally is my life and I’d go insane without it!
Kindle Paperwhite
I’ve been getting back into reading (yay!) so I’ve made a point to carry my Kindle with me. If I’m ever out and find myself waiting, where I’d usually pull my phone out to pass time, I’ll read instead. My Kindle is so light and just bigger than my phone so it feels the same but I’m being more productive.
Gratitude Journal
If you guys don’t have a gratitude journal, start one! I was given this for my birthday, it’s small with blank pages and no lines. I thought it would be a perfect gratitude journal. I keep it with me as a reminder to fill it out every day, and if something happens that I want to put in it, I won’t forget.
Michael Kors wallet
Pretty basic, the heart of my bag. I’ve had this wallet for years and somehow it still looks great, love it!
Extra disposable facemask
You know when you go into a store and forget to grab your facemask so you have to turn around and go back? Yeah, that happened one too many times for me, so now I keep this just in case that happens so I don’t have to go back.
Hand sanitizer spray
Gotta keep those hands clean!
Travel-sized deodorant
Hey, we all need a little extra sometimes.
Airpods
You never know when you’re gonna want to jam out to some bops or listen to some inspirational podcasts. Also, I use these a LOT when my friends or fam call, I’m too lazy and don’t like to hold the phone up to my ear, haha.
Extras: mini & small roller, chapstick, nail clippers
Essentials, honestly. ALWAYS need chapstick (my lips do be chapped.) My rollers are filled with lavender essential oil, so if I get a little stressy during the day I rub those on. I swear I always get hangnails at the worst times, so the nail clippers help fix that!
Keys
Of course. Can’t go anywhere without these bad boys, literally.
What’s in your bag?

Happy New Year everyone!! I’m SO ready to begin a new year. 2020 was rough but it taught me a lot. As I was reflecting on 2020 I wanted to make sure I set goals that would challenge me and help me grow without being so big they become unattainable. I’m excited to turn over a new leaf and start working towards these goals.
Happy New Year everyone!! I’m SO ready to begin a new year. 2020 was rough but it taught me a lot. As I was reflecting on 2020 I wanted to make sure I set goals that would challenge me and help me grow without being so big they become unattainable. I’m excited to turn over a new leaf and start working towards these goals.
The first thing I do when I sit down to write out my goals, is think about what my word of the year will be. This word will be the overarching theme of the year: something I will continuously think about as I work through each individual goal. My word for 2021 is grind. 2020 taught me a lot about patience, resting, and waiting. Now, 2021 will be the year to challenge myself, push, and grind towards the things I want to accomplish.
Now, for all of my resolutions, I’ve separated them into four categories: personal, spiritual, financial, and work/career goals.
Personal:
Read one chapter/day & one book/month
Make bed daily
Get in shape!
Gym 5x/week, 8,000 steps/day, gallon of water/day, meal prep
Spiritual:
Read the Bible (cover to cover)
15 min/day study time (reading the Bible/daily devotional)
10 min/day of stillness (prayer/meditation)
Financial:
Buy a new car
Pay off ¼ of student loans
Create an emergency fund
Work/Career:
Get a full-time job at a great company
Gain 100 followers on The Variety Files and Youtube
Those are my New Year’s Resolutions! I’ve already been working towards these since the New Year and am eager to continue. Sometimes it can be hard to stay motivated throughout the year. In my planner, every three months, I scheduled a “Quarterly Goal Check-In.” This will be a reminder for me to sit down and reflect on how I’ve been doing accomplishing these goals and see where I can improve. I’m praying that no matter what this year has in store, it’ll be another great opportunity to better myself.
What are your New Year’s Resolutions? What are some ways you plan to hold yourself accountable?

I love love love Marvel, it’s one of my favorite franchises. Watching them in order helped everything click into place. It’s honestly a masterpiece. Everything is connected and makes sense and they include even the smallest details. So I wanted to give you guys the official list of all the Marvel movies in timeline order so you can enjoy watching them too.
Since quarantine started back in March, I decided I wanted to watch all the Marvel movies in chronological order: this was one of my quarantine goals. Sadly it’s taken me this long to finish, but I’m so excited about it. I’ve seen all the movies at random points in my life or when they premiered in theaters but the storyline always confused me because it jumped around.
I love love love Marvel, it’s one of my favorite franchises. Watching them in order helped everything click into place. It’s honestly a masterpiece. Everything is connected and makes sense and they include even the smallest details.
So I wanted to give you guys the official list of all the Marvel movies in timeline order so you can enjoy watching them too.
I streamed all of these (except Hulk and Spiderman 1&2, due to owning rights) on Disney+. It’s convenient because they include a Marvel section and mini sections within that: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and even The Timeline Order.
Captain America: The First Avenger
Captain Marvel
Iron Man
Iron Man 2
The Incredible Hulk (not on Disney+)
Thor
The Avengers
Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
Captain America: Civil War
Spiderman: Homecoming (not on Disney+)
Doctor Strange
Black Panther
Thor: Ragnarok
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Endgame
Spiderman: Far From Home
That’s the whole list! Write it down and start your movie watching. I’m looking forward to when they start releasing Phase 4 in theaters, I’m eager for new Marvel movies.
Have you watched these movies in Timeline Order? Do you have a favorite movie? A favorite character?

If you haven’t heard already… Netflix is removing The Office from their streaming service in 2021. I don’t know about you, but I was heartbroken when I heard this. I absolutely love The Office and it’s my comfort show: I’m constantly rewatching it. So I decided to compile a list of the best episodes (in my opinion) to watch in honor of this era coming to an end.
If you haven’t heard already… Netflix is removing The Office from their streaming service in 2021.

If you aren’t looking to get a Peacock subscription, you can also buy the complete series on Amazon and Target.
I don’t know about you, but I was heartbroken when I heard this. I absolutely love The Office and it’s my comfort show: I’m constantly rewatching it. So I decided to compile a list of the best episodes (in my opinion) to watch in honor of this era coming to an end. Originally, I was only going to pick 10, but there’s just so many good ones I had to expand a bit. So, without further ado, let’s jump into it!
Diversity Day: S1E2
Michael’s controversial imitation of a Chris Rock routine forces the staff to undergo a racial diversity seminar. A consultant arrives to teach the staff about tolerance and diversity, but Michael insists on imparting his own knowledge—aggravating both the consultant and the entire office staff—and creates his own diversity seminar. He eventually assigns each staff member an index card with a different race on it, causing tempers to slowly simmer until they finally snap.
The Dundies: S2E1
Michael Scott hosts “The Dundies”, the annual awards show in which he presents awards to various members of the office. But the night does not turn out as he plans, and Michael ends up angering or humiliating the majority of the office staff. Meanwhile, after Pam Beesly argues with her fiancé, she becomes obviously intoxicated and kisses Jim Halpert.
The Injury: S2E12
Michael Scott accidentally burns his foot on his George Foreman Grill, but insists on coming to work anyway. When none of his employees, except for Dwight Schrute, help him, Michael feels under-appreciated. Meanwhile, Dwight starts acting strangely nice to everyone, especially Pam Beesly.

Ryan Howard is taken by Dwight Schrute on what he believes is a sales call, but instead is brought to Dwight’s beet farm for an “initiation.” Pam Beesly is supposed to keep track of Michael Scott’s productivity, but Michael spends his day waiting in line for a pretzel. Jim Halpert steals Karen Filippelli’s chair and foils her attempts to get it back.
Beach Games: S3E23
The office goes to a nearby lake for some “beach games”. It is revealed that Michael is being interviewed for a position at Corporate and that the winner of the beach games will become regional manager. Meanwhile, Dwight and Angela sabotage Andy, and Pam spends her day taking notes of the office workers’ activities.
The Job: S3E24
Michael prepares for his interview for the corporate job and names Dwight as his successor, whose managing methods are unpopular. Jan arrives at the office to see Michael and everyone is shocked when it appears she has undergone breast augmentation. Jim and Karen also interview for the corporate position, and Pam deals with the consequences of her earlier outburst.
Stress Relief: S5E14/15
Dwight stages a fire in the office to test the office’s fire safety skills, but things go from bad to worse when Stanley suffers a heart attack, causing Michael to come up with ways to relieve stress in the office, including a comedic roast of himself.
Niagara: S6E4/5
The episode revolves around the wedding of Jim and Pam at Niagara Falls. Not all goes smoothly when Jim accidentally reveals Pam’s pregnancy to all the guests, including Pam’s very old-fashioned grandmother, and Andy injures his scrotum while dancing. Meanwhile, Michael and Dwight both try to hook up with women, with mixed results.
Threat Level Midnight: S7E17
Michael Scott screens his action film Threat Level Midnight to the office after ten years of writing, shooting, re-shooting, and editing. This film features Michael as Agent Michael Scarn, Dwight Schrute as Scarn’s robot butler, and Jim Halpert as Scarn’s archnemesis “Goldenface”.

Goodbye Michael: S7E22
Michael prepares to leave for Colorado with Holly and spends his last day in the office saying goodbye to everyone individually, wanting no drama to ensue. Meanwhile, new manager Deangelo and Andy try to keep Michael’s biggest clients.
A.A.R.M.: S9E22/23
Jim Halpert convinces Dwight Schrute that he needs to choose someone to act as an Assistant to the Assistant to the Regional Manager (A.A.R.M.); the two subsequently hold tryouts for the position. Angela Lipton is forced to bring her son, Phillip, to work, and Dwight thinks that he may be his son. Pam Halpert’s final fears about her husband’s love are settled. Finally, all the members of the office gather at Poor Richard’s Pub and watch the airing of the official in-series documentary.
Finale: S9E24/25
In the episode, which takes place a year after the previous episode “A.A.R.M.”, present and past employees of Dunder Mifflin gather for the wedding of Dwight Schrute and Angela Martin, during which Michael Scott returns to serve as Dwight’s best man. In addition, Pam Halpert and Jim Halpert finally decide to pursue Jim’s dream of working in sports marketing. Finally, everyone comes together for a final round of interviews and goodbyes.

I’ve gotten some new followers in the past couple weeks and thought it would be fun to write a post telling you some fun facts about myself to help you get to know me better.
I’ve gotten some new followers in the past couple weeks and thought it would be fun to write a post telling you some fun facts about myself to help you get to know me better.
I love posts like these, and was looking forward to writing this, because there’s so many fun things about people you don’t usually learn from a couple encounters.
So, let’s get into it…
I’m a Capricorn
I was born on January 6th, 1998
I am a licensed cosmetologist
I went to a trade school the last two years of high school, and graduated (in 2016) the same week I went to State Boards and got certified
I graduated from Malone University with a BA in Business and Accounting
I also have a minor in Marketing. I graduated this past year in May, but sadly no graduation because of COVID 😦
I can say my ABCs backwards
This is my favorite party trick, I think it’s so cool
I love Coca-Cola
Enough said
I want Chipotle to sponsor me
At one point I ate Chipotle 5x in a week, I love it so much… Sponsor me pls
I don’t have a quiet setting
I’m very loud, not in an obnoxious way, I’m just not soft spoken. This 100% comes from my Italian genes
I love to bullet journal
I started bullet journaling about 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. It gives me time every month to get both creative and organized
I was in band in high school
Since elementary school I played the flute for concert band and in high school I joined the color guard for marching band. I also learned how to play the marimba senior year
I was President of the Student Body at Malone
I was in Student Senate all four years in college, and decided to take a big step and run for Student Body President. Best decision ever- I loved every minute of it

Two of my friends also shared this video with me and I thought, “You know, I think this is something I can actually set my mind to and form some new, healthy habits.” So I wrote all the goals down in my notes app, tweaked them to my lifestyle, and set my intention to start Monday the 12th.
I was on TikTok about a week ago and saw this girl, Ally Henky, make a video about there only being 80 days left in the year- WHAT?? So, she wanted to create a challenge, similar to the 75 Day Hard (but not as difficult, haha), to end the year right. Two of my friends also shared this video with me and I thought, “You know, I think this is something I can actually set my mind to and form some new, healthy habits.” So I wrote all the goals down in my notes app, tweaked them to my lifestyle, and set my intention to start Monday the 12th.
Ally laid out six different goals to complete every day- hence the 80 Day Six Fix.
Make your bed every day- the concept is if you have a bad day and come home to a made bed, something went right.
Drink a gallon of water a day.
I decided to set alarms, 3 hours apart, throughout the day as reminders to drink my water. I have a 32 oz water bottle, so I need to drink 4 of those to equal a gallon. When the alarm goes off if I haven’t finished my water, I’ll chug what’s remaining, fill it back up and be ready to drink that for the next 3 hours.
Fuel your body- follow some sort of diet or eating plan.
I set my goal to eat 1500 calories a day because I want to lose weight. I use my Fitbit app to record the food I eat and stay on track. Lifesum is another good app if you don’t have a Fitbit.
10 minutes a day to be still- meditate, pray, give thanks.
I set the intention to use this time to spend with God: praying and giving thanks. Then if I can’t think of anything else to say, I’ll just stay silent and listen.
Exercise 5x a week- crossfit class, walks, yoga, etc.: 30 minutes a day at least.
I want to ease myself back into exercising (let’s be honest, quarantine really messed up everyone’s routines so I’ve been super off my game) so I decided my exercise will be a daily 30 minute walk.
10,000 steps a day- forces you to get outside.
I’m gonna be honest, I hardly ever get 10,000 steps a day, even when I was living on campus and walking everywhere. So, to be realistic with this goal I’ve changed it to 8,000 steps.
First Week Completed! (Thoughts and Reflection)
I was pretty hyped to get started Monday, so I was feeling extra motivated. As soon as I got up I made my bed which put me in a good mindset for the day, it helped me realize there were things to do and I couldn’t lay around all day. Monday was my cleaning/laundry/running errands day, so I was already moving around quite a bit. I was keeping track of my water and food intake well, staying on track. Heads up, you’re gonna be going to the bathroom a LOT. I went for an evening walk, since that’s when the weather started to cool off (thank you Texas). My neighborhood is really nice, so I loved getting outside and seeing it in a new way. Also, everyone has their Halloween decorations up so it was cool seeing how each house was decorated differently. Going on the walk helped me get a majority of my steps in. From there I just made a point to go up and down the stairs more often or just get up and walk around the house.
I felt so good checking off each goal that I couldn’t wait until the next day to do it again. Each day I felt I was getting more used to the schedule and routine I was building for myself that it was a given I needed to do those things. I will say by Thursday, it was harder to get up in the morning, I was a bit more groggy and my body was a little more sore from the increased activity, but overall I still felt good. I’m so proud of myself for completing the first week and sticking to my goals. I’m excited to continue this challenge through the end of the year and see how these habits begin to stick and solidify in my everyday life.
I really like this challenge over others, because it’s focusing on creating habits rather than a crash diet or lifestyle that isn’t sustainable. The goals aren’t hard, but they are making me more aware of changes I need to make everyday. I’m loving the change I’m already feeling within myself, I have more energy and motivation to get things done throughout the day and I feel happier and brighter. I think my favorite goal within the six is being still. This isn’t something that comes easy for a lot of us, but it makes you intentional about slowing down in the midst of the craziness and becoming aware of your surroundings.
Even though the first week has already passed, think about joining me and we can keep each other accountable! Challenges like this are best to do with a buddy, someone who you can talk to about it and keep you on track.
Is this something you’re interested in trying? Is there a friend you can get to join you? What are some healthy habits you want to put in place? What was your favorite goal out of the six?
