BLOGGING

WHAT MADE ME WANT TO START A BLOG?

I wanted to start a blog because I needed a hobby after being diagnosied with my Autoimmune disease. I had also read the Rachel hollis books (Girl Wash Your Face and Girl Stop Apologizing). Which made me want to get my set back to living my best life!

WHAT DO I DO OUTSIDE OF BLOGGING?

Outside of blogging I like to shop (lol obvious right) 😂, eat tacos (your rolling your eye now) 😝, spend time with my sister, I take Barre classes every week

HOW DO YOU BALANCE WORK, LIFE, SCHOOL, THE BLOG AND BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Okay lets get real. This is a hard one. I am a very busy person, if you can tell. I am a full time student and work, manage a blog and social media account, and I’m present in my relationship. One of the things that helps me the most with this is my phone calendar and my planner. I bring my planner with me everywhere I go. Also before I schedule anything I make sure I have at least an hour between any appointments, events, homework time, dates ect.

I also prioritize my time. Making sure I have time for homework and workout classes. I do not schedule anything during those times. Josh and I have picked on day a week to have a date night. We dont always go out, but we spend time with each other.

WHAT AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES DO YOU HAVE?

I have been diagnosed with Dysautonomia, a dysfunction of my autonomic nervous system and Mixed Connective tissue Disease.

HAS PHYSICAL THERAPY HELPED MY POTS?

Yes, My quality of life was very low! It helped me learn how to manage my symptoms at home or when I went at therapy. Now I will say you have to do your home exercises and listen to your body and physical therapist.

How long have Josh and I been together/ do I see myself marrying him/?

Josh and I have been together for almost 2 years Yes we have talked about the future together, but We are happy with where we are at now. We are both focused getting our degrees and exploring life together!
