Buffalo Boats

I posted these Buffalo Turkey Zucchini Boats to my Instagram story the other day. I was bummed because I was too eager to eat that I didn’t take any appetizing photos. But apparently they looked good to you guys anyway…because a bunch of you messaged me for the recipe! You could cover pretty much anything […]

#CurrentMood {2.14}

It’s Valentine’s Day! And, while I’ve never had a “real” Valentine, the holiday celebrates a few things I’m fond of: pink, chocolate, and love! This year, I’m more about self-love than ever. Don’t forget to show yourself some appreciation—today and every day! Colorfully Yours, Haley   All images via Pinterest.

Book Review: Everything You Want Me to Be

everything you want me to be

Think Netflix show 13 Reasons Why meets book-turned-movie Gone Girl. That’s how I’d describe Mindy Mejia’s novel, Everything You Want Me to Be.  While the novel focuses on a high-schooler, it’s anything but light.

Wise Words: 01.09.18

New Year, Slightly New Me

Happy New Year, friends! Can someone tell me how 2018 crept up so quickly? Normally, I’m not a huge believer in New Year’s resolutions. If I have specific goals in mind, I try to set and accomplish them throughout the year, rather than “saving them up” for January. This year, though, I’m going to make […]

Book Review: The Futures

Do you ever feel like everything you’ve planned out for yourself is just falling apart? Maybe the feeling isn’t so dramatic—maybe something just doesn’t feel quite right. Whether consciously or not, we all start to plan our lives from the time we’re kids. College graduation tends to feel like the culmination of all of that […]

On Being “Too Sensitive”

Throughout our lives, we’re told to “stop being so sensitive.” It comes out of people’s mouths like it’s a bad word. Whenever we visibly feel something, we’re told we’re overreacting. People even blame our hurt feelings on our sensitivity as opposed to their own actions. So, what’s wrong with being sensitive? I, for one, think […]
