International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day to all my fellow ladies. We work so hard every day to live great lives, and are working even harder to improve the lives of those in the future.

What an amazing time to be a woman. I mean seriously, in my short lifetime, I've never experienced so much pride in being female. There are so many amazing role models right now for little girls (and big girls) to look up to. It really makes me feel like something big is coming.

Let's all be a part of the change and stand up for what is right every day, and hold up those around us! Compliment the random girl in your philosophy class, like the girl's selfie on Instagram, write a note to your friend when you know she's feeling rough! We deserve greatness and equity, and together we can achieve it!

Be sure to hug all of your favorite lady friends extra tight today. As Leslie Knope would say "Uteruses before duderuses!"

Rough Weeks

I had originally started writing this post with the title "rough days" but then that rough day I was having last week turned in to a rough 10 days. I know that this blog is still very new and there aren't many posts on it, but I think this post will help you get a much better look at who I really am. One of the biggest things that I am dealing with in my life right now is anxiety. I think a lot of times when people think of anxiety, they think of crippling anxiety that keeps you from leaving your room, public panic attacks, and skittish people. And sure, that might be anxiety for some people, but for me, it's like a flame. Think of your furnace in the winter. The pilot light is always on, but the furnace only goes on full blast every once in a while. That's what my anxiety is like. There are times throughout the day when I catch myself doing something or acting a certain way because I'm avoiding things that trigger my anxiety. Some days my anxiety is hard...

Everyday Essentials

I don't know what it is, but I'm always so curious to see what people carry in their purse. I don't know if it's just because I'm nosey, or because I love handbags, but either way, I always want to know! This backpack and pair of sunglasses were two of my main Christmas presents and I'm so obsessed with both of them. The backpack is a different style of my favorite tote bag , and I already know it's going to be an all-time fave. It holds all of the things I need with plenty of room for more. The sunglasses are ones that I had been eyeing for about a year and am so excited about them. They're my first pair of nice sunglasses and I've been wearing them almost every sunny day here at school! I love that the shape is a little different, but the color is classic and not very trendy.

Blue Light Glasses

I'm not sure if it's the 10 hours + a day I spend on the computer, or the extra 5 I spend on my phone, but my eyes have been tired recently. This was enough for me to look into blue light glasses and purchase a pair. Blue Light is the light from your computer that can strain your eyes and cause trouble falling and staying asleep. I purchased an inexpensive pair just to try them out, and so far I'm really enjoying them. I've forgotten to throw them in my bag a couple of times, and now always wish I had them because I've noticed a significant difference in how tired my eyes feel by two or three pm. So I want to know, have you tried blue light blocking glasses? If so which ones do you have and what do you think of them?
