Life Lately

Well, seeing as how we are about halfway through 2021 I thought to myself, wow a lot has changed (or maybe it hasn’t) and I haven’t really updated you guys on all that has been going on or that is going on in my life so I thought why not to a little life lately update! It’s always fun to look back on these posts and see what accomplishments you had the year before or what was going on that you were excited about at the time etc.. My blog in essence has always kind of been a public journal and I’ll have it here for the rest of my life (good, bad or embarrassing memories) but hey, that’s life! With that being said, here’s a little of my life lately:

*One of the biggest updates – I bought another house! Not for me to live in exactly, but for me as an investment property. Eventually I thought it may be somewhere my mom could move into but as of now it’s an adorable mid-century California modern airbnb and location rental home for photoshoots, video shoots and full on production. I worked hard (and fast) to make the space super inviting and trendy while still feeling cozy and “at home.” Let me tell you, furnishing a home during the COVID times felt like a near impossible task, but somehow I got it done. I’m so proud of it still can’t believe I’ve accomplished this!

*I’m about to turn 34 next month and can’t believe it honestly. Where has the time gone? I think I started this blog when I was about 25 — what?! Regardless, age is just a number but I will say my metabolism has slowed down a LOT. Depressing.

*Still single! Yea yea yea, say what you want but this girl is still single and not settling! Maybe I’m picky, maybe I’m difficult, maybe I put a lot of focus into my career but I truly feel if I hadn’t taken this path I wouldn’t be where I am today. Remember it’s better to be alone & be single than miserable & taken. Just sayin…

*I’m building a pool! Currently in the process of waiting on the pool permits but yea,.. it was a big decision. Kind of was always something I wanted but let me tell you, pools are NOT cheap by any means. It was either sell and buy a home that maybe had a pool or build my own. I decided customizing my own was the way to go but the wait time is atrocious. Let’s just say, I’ll have a pool for NEXT summer.

*I went through a big depression cycle towards the end of last year which kind of morphed into the beginning of this year. I honestly don’t know if I can pinpoint the “why” but it was a lot of things. I’ve always suffered with some anxiety/depression and talked about it openly in the past but it really got to me for a few months pretty bad. Thought I’d be open and share it because life isn’t always what it seems on IG.

*Pinot the new puppy is doing amazing. I can’t believe he’s already almost 1 year old! Time sure does fly. He’s brought so much joy to our family and he bounces around all the time from my house to my moms. He loves Grayson and Merlot and is just a little love bug. I now can’t even imagine life without that little nugget.

*I’ve been trying to do a lot more of what makes me happy. Whether that is living in the moment, taking the day off, treating myself to something or saying “no” when I just don’t want to. It’s amazing what happens when you stop trying to please others and what they will think of you and just focus on what you want.

*I have a “bug” in me that I want to continue growing and creating more. I don’t know what it is but it’s like an itch that doesn’t stop. I think there truly is some high entrepreneurship gives you that is unlike anything else. To not be dependent on anyone else and create your own destiny is everything to me. I want to try to do more and build my business(es) more. With that being said, I’m currently searching for the next opportunity or the next thing to spark inside of me but until then, I’m grateful of where I am in this moment and maybe next time I’ll have a new update for y’all.
