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
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. We learn right off the bat that the protagonist, Hattie, has been brutally murdered. What we don’t know is who did it—or why. The story is […]
#SquashGoals
Hey, friends! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed by now that I’ve been really into meal prepping this month. If you don’t follow me, I’m sorry for your loss. Kidding… Anyway, the past four Sundays, I’ve spent the day cooking meals for the week ahead. This has helped accomplish a few goals: […]
Taking Advice…From Ourselves
We’ve all had that talk with a friend. That “you’re so much better than him” talk. That friend usually looks us as with sad, ashamed eyes. “I know,” she’ll say, as she looks down. But things don’t change. We tell her over and over that she deserves so much more. We list her best qualities […]
Wise Words: 01.09.18
I’m a total quote hoarder. You probably didn’t even know that was a thing, but here I am. On the heels of my 2018 New Year’s resolutions post, I wanted to share some that have been speaking to me lately. I hope they speak to you, too! Colorfully Yours, Haley All images are from Pinterest.
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 […]
In Defense of (Still) Loving Taylor Swift
Why is it that people are so judgmental when they hear that you’re a Taylor Swift fan? I’ve loved her since I was in eighth grade. I’m now 26, and I just bought tickets to her concert. And no, I don’t feel an ounce of shame about it. Tay has gotten me through some tough […]
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 […]
