Hello world!
So, today was my college graduation day. It was an emotional roller coaster and I couldn't be more proud of myself and my classmates. The girls I was blessed to spend ten months together will be the friends I keep around forever. They are beautiful, funny and intelligent young women whom I love dearly. It's our time to move forward and become who we were destined to be, whether it be within our studied profession or not. I just want them to stay in touch and to find the true definition of happiness in life.
As for myself, I'm scared. I've reached a new life milestone and am fearful of the road ahead. It's unknown and it's soon approaching me faster than I think I'm comfortable with. Overwhelming really. I now have to find a REAL job and start MY life. As exciting as it sounds, when you finally grow up, it's the most terrifying process.
For a while, I thought I had it all figured out. I was going to start my career, move in next year with my boyfriend and live happily ever after. Now, I'm starting my career, I do not currently have another half but am enjoying my youth. Yes, there is a boy who has become my point of interest, don't get me wrong, but I'm glad that he and I are on the same page. Slow and steady wins the race.
Truth be told, I'm not the girl I was ten months ago, nor do I have any interest in rediscovering her within myself. She was lifeless and lonely. I cannot be her again.
I'm comfortable in my skin today and that's all that matters. Focused on my career and prepared for anything that comes my way. Whether this new fling works out or not, I love who I am and I love my friends/family.
As for advice, ladies. Please don't think that you have everything figured out. Truth is, you don't and probably never will. Life is constantly changing and there's no point in trying to adapt to one particular lifestyle because that lifestyle could be gone in a matter of seconds.
Embrace your life and soak every minute detail in!
Fitness tip: working out in the morning will give you a boost in starting your day as well as giving you a general idea of what your calorie intake should be. By working out in the evening, you're already exhausted and want to burn off what you ate that way which can often be disappointing when sleep trumps all.
Try running stairs in ten minute intervals followed by the Rugby Canada ab workout between each set for half an hour. You'll hate me and love yourself!
Beauty tip: to maintain a healthy, overall body glow, do a full body exfoliation once-twice a week using a mixture of baby oil and sea salt. Ladies, this gets messy! Also, once you rinse off, take sliced mango(dry skin) or sliced apple (oily skin) and do a second exfoliation. Rinse again, and if you have time do a full body mask. If you don't have the time or the mask itself, use a super good hydrating body lotion. You'll feel super soft and look like you're a glowy pregnant lady without the baby bump or the baby to boot!

I have naturally dry-acne skin so I found myself a chocolate body mask. Right now, I'm using ORE's cocoa body wrap. It makes me smell like a snack.
