Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media.

After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected.

Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally explained that I couldn't just be his friend. He took me on a date (the only way I was willing to see him) and I instantly knew I was willing to do anything to make it work. He made me want a relationship even though we both didn't want to rush anything. He randomly woke up one morning, while he was away, and wanted to make it official.

In our past, we went through hell and back together. We both hurt each other because we were young and extremely dumb. We're now able to laugh about it or jokingly give each other crap about it. In-between then and now, we've both been hurt by other people that meant a lot to us. I truly believe that we had to go through our past together and our pasts with other people in order to finally grow as people and finally find a way back to each other.

Everyday I wake up, even if it's a morning I don't wake up next to him, I just feel beyond lucky that he's in my life and he's finally my man and I'm finally his woman. He always takes me on the best adventures, but also makes me completely enjoy nights that we decide to stay in bed and binge on Netflix.

I honestly don't recall ever being so weird or laughing so much with someone. I'm not used to having someone that truly cares if I'm upset or even slightly bothered by something. I never thought way back then that we'd be where we're at right now. It honestly still amazes me how life works out. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't change a single thing.

I decided to somehow mention to my boyfriend that I used to blog. He likes to pull up my blog randomly when I'm next to him, but swears he hasn't read it. That might be the only thing I slightly doubt him on.  I fully cringe thinking of him reading my crappy blog. So, I hope he can forget about it for a bit and won't read this before I decide to tell him I blogged about him.

Honestly, I've never been happier. I've never been more grateful that things actually worked out in our favor... even 11 years later. I've always loved him as a person. He's always been someone that I needed in my life no matter how many miles separated us. He's always been someone that just gets me. I'm grateful that I'm actually in love with my best friend. He's beyond incredible. I'm finally truly happy.

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

How To Be A Fashion Blogger

From a non-fashion blogger. First. You’re going to find pants, a few shirts and any jewelry you can manage to find. Anything goes. Second. You must make your hair look like a character Dr. Seuss would create. Third. Get all awkward, set up your camera and be a little fashion trend setter! Make sure to include a tiny bit of your face. It adds to the overall quality of the photo. You also want to edit your photo, a LOT. This is not for Facebook. It’s for your FASHION BLOG.   Hold your waist to make it look like you’re so skinny you’re going to break… … Or whatever the reason that they do that pose..   A photo like this will show off a different angle of your outfit. You can tell your readers it was an accidental photo as you were leaving the house. Make them believe that this is what you wear to take the kids to school/walk the dog.   When wearing designer clothing ALWAYS show a proof picture of the label. Also, if you wear a size XS you also have to show a pi...
