Top 5 Tips to Prevent Getting Sick

Often we take our health for granted. As I type this, I’m sick with a head cold. Runny nose, congestion, and a bit of a cough. Thank goodness that’s all I have. I’ve had worse but I’ve been fortunate enough to not get sick too often but often enough that when I do get sick, it’s a wake up call. It’s my reminder that you can’t do well in life if you don’t take care of yourself first. Instead I’ve been fighting my body trying to recover faster so I could work on different tasks on my to-do list. This…

How I’m attacking revisions – Bite-By-Bite

Revisions Update I know I haven’t blogged about my story progress in awhile. If you follow me on social media you’ve probably seen me chat about it more so if you want to follow me more closely visit me there too and say hi! Let me know if you’re in a similar stage and we can help encourage and support each other!

My Top 5 Favorite Entrepreneur and Business Podcasts

I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about my favorite podcasts! I’ve been listening for about a year and a half now and have narrowed down some of my favorites. Quick story on how I got into podcasts: I first started listening to audio books I borrowed from my local library. I listened to them during my daily commute to my day job (currently 30 min each way but the previous job was about 40 min). That led me to podcasts because they were shorter and didn’t take days to get through and I liked learning new things they provided. Podcasts…

Renewed Branding

I’ve put this off for far too long, I wanted to focus a bit more on my branding. I’ve decided to be better about creating a consistent “look” for my brand. If you’ve been following me then you’ve already seen some changes. You can see my previous blog header above. I liked the colors but didn’t feel like they were me so I changed them. It will likely keep changing as I do but that’s not much different from what I’ve already been doing. I hope it makes it easier for you guys to recognize my brand online. Branding To…

Project: New DIY Leather Bag

This is a bit of a random post, but I finally started and finished a project I had meant to do years ago! It was before I got really busy. I’m really proud how it turned out! It’s a new DIY Leather Bag! I’m particular about my bags, I realized I don’t like totes or small hand bags. My perfect bags are drawstring backpack purses with pockets that are large enough to hold a medium to large sketchbook. The weight should be evenly distributed on my shoulders. I didn’t mind cross body bags but I kept switching it from side…
