living in a decluttered, productive, and debt-free world

I Didn’t Get Into Grad School (and it’s OK)

Hey everyone! I wanted to share something rather important to me that might help others realize they’re not alone on this. Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star because his editor felt he lacked imagination and had no good ideas. Oprah Winfrey was fired from her first television job as an anchor in […]

Happy Birthday, Stella & Sue Blog!

Happiest of birthdays to the blog space, Stella & Sue! S&S is one-year-old this month and I am proud of myself. I am proud of myself for waking up early in the mornings and staying up later in some of the evenings to write. My audience is not large (yet), but I know in my […]

August Ramblings

Hello, friends! As you can tell, I haven’t written in a while. I had been consistently blogging for a year now, and I can’t seem to get my life back in order the past couple of months. Leading back to the cruise, I had full-on prepared for it: woke up early every morning to work […]

Betrothed

*This is for anyone whom thinks they are unloved or whom have a difficult time looking past people* Jason and I became engaged in January of 2013, then later wed December of 2013. What a whirlwind of a year that was! I could not stop looking at my beautiful diamond ring and how amazingly huge […]

#ImOnABoat Vacay Series: Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan, Honduras

Hello, everyone! This marks the last part of our cruise adventures. Sad face. Our last port day was in the beautiful island Roatan in Mahogany Bay, Honduras! Visiting three completely different locations in one week was wonderful. Some traditions are tied in, some are not. Economical statuses and demographics are all different, and yet they […]

#ImOnABoat Vacay Series: Belize, Belize

Alright! Second day of vacationing through the Western Caribbean! I believe Belize was my favorite country from the three during the excursions. I loved the jungles, the people, the small boutiques, the streets filled with laughter. The island was underdeveloped, but they still greeted us with open arms. Tourists help their economy a whole bunch, […]

#ImOnABoat Vacay Series: Cozumel, Mexico

<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/17110725/?claim=ehzf2ngfbb4″>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> Hey, everyone! I’m back in the states! Technically I returned Sunday, but unpacking took about half of the day and napping took the other half. #firstworldproblems I had a ton of fun with my friends and my husband cruising through other countries and getting to know the culture and […]

Minimalism: Packing for a Cruise

Hi there! Tomorrow I am leaving on my very first cruise with my husband and two close friends with their husbands. I am truly excited!  Some of my best friends know that I used to be a hoarder (well, not clinically-speaking, but as close as possible to it, I would say!). Moving every year to […]

Primal Product of the Month: The Seaweed Bath Co.

We are embarking on our very first cruise soon and I can’t wait to write about this product. I’ve decided to do a Paleo Product of the Month that I love, and this happens to be one of them! The Seaweed Bath Co. has provided a detox line that can get anyone hooked on to […]

2016 Book No. 6: The Butterfly Garden

Hey everyone! So far, I’ve been reading a book a month this year. I’ve realized that is what my lifestyle allows and it makes me happy that at least I am reading far more than last year, so I shouldn’t punish myself for not reading “enough.” This month, I decided to switch to a mystery […]
