I’m trying so hard to stop this consumer driven mentality. I want to be a responsible consumer. I want to buy quality over quantity. It’s honestly one of the reasons no-buy-may was developed, at least in part. It’s so easy to go to Target or Walmart and just buy something because it’s cute and trendy […]

Results are in…
…and it’s inconclusive. But there are some things we can rule out. It’s NOT a hernia. It’s also NOT a seroma or hematoma 🎉🎉 So we know some things that it’s definitely not. I have a few things it might be. It could be diastasis recti. The stitch they used to fix me up during […]
Things I want to buy
So, despite my rambling, I still stress shopped. I added a bunch of things to my Amazon cart during that stint in the waiting room and while sitting at my counter stressing. Here’s what I want to buy right now to combat that stress. Some of these items are necessary and will be purchased, eventually. […]
Anticipation
I’m sitting in the waiting room for my ultrasound. There are a million thoughts running through my mind. A million possibilities for the point. I even dreamt I was pregnant. (Haha pretty hard to get pregnant when you don’t have Fallopian tubes, butttt the subconscious is weird AF.) I’m trying to avoid stress shopping because […]
My belly is pointed
So, you probably know that I had a prophylactic mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap reconstruction in September. I had phase 2 of my surgeries in December. It’s been nearly 5 months since phase 2 and suddenly I have a pointy belly. That sounds super weird and dramatic but it’s actual and factual. My last period […]
Emilia’s Big Girl Room
Like an idiot, I signed up for a One Room Challenge right at the tail end of Emilia’s room project. I’ve never even blogged about her room! Gah! Anyway, I’m redoing my laundry room. In theory anyway. Paint, a little backsplash, a counter height folding area and a shelf to hold the laundry goods! I’m […]
No-Buy-May
I think I’ve talked before about being more mindful with my spending, my wardrobe, etc. Trust that I love nice things as much as the next girl. I also love to wander aimlessly around Target and fill up my cart with things I ‘need’ just like anyone else (preferably with an iced americano in hand). […]
White Jeans Season
I mean, I do live in Florida. Technically, it’s white jeans season 24/7/365. However most parts of the world white jeans are synonymous with spring & summer. (But seriously is there anything chicer than winter white?? I mean, no!) I have been on the quest for the best white jeans. I asked my instagram followers, […]
Going Forward
I started this blog as a way to figure out my journey with BRCA1+ mutation. I didn’t know much about my reconstruction options. I knew that I would be having a surgery to remove my breast tissue, that I KNEW. Beyond that it was so confusing, and overwhelming. Now that I’m on the ‘flap side’ […]
blink
You guys, phase 2 was already over a month ago. I am convinced that the past month went by faster than any other month in the history of months. Am I alone? How are we over 1/2 way done with January already? I have so many questions for you this morning. Did you make a […]
