Progress over Perfection

July 31, 2019 by Rachel 2 Comments

I heard it come out of my mouth “Perfect buddy!” My son asked me if he did a good job cleaning off the stairs… this is often my response when he does a good job. “Perfect!” But it took on a new meaning for me last week when he burst into tears when the project he was working on didn’t turn out “perfectly.” “Mommy, I just wanted it to be perfect!” My heart sank. Has this been the model I’ve set for him? That he has to be perfect? God, I hope ... Read More

Happy(?) Mental Health Awareness Month

May 31, 2019 by Rachel 1 Comment

I’ve debated hitting publish on this post for 31 days. So here’s to practicing what I preach - authenticity, courage and vulnerability. Hi, I’m Rachel and I’m a carefree, happy-go-lucky, extrovert that struggles with depression. There’s a reason I haven’t been blogging or youtubing or instagramming or anything recently. Depression.

November 14, 2018 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Buckle up friends... I'm back, and this one not exactly a #walloftext, but it's close. I started posting my cleanse journey on Instagram and received so many questions that I wanted to preface my review with the why. Why did I do a cleanse? I have recently walked through a very stressful and tumultuous time in my life… complete with moving states, my mother in law passing away and then changing jobs. To say it’s been rough would be an ... Read More

Hairspray and 1″ Bobby Pins

March 15, 2017 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Okay, let's just talk about the bane of my existence right now... I'm affectionately calling them "hair wings," because they stick out of my head like a Boeing 757, and the only way I can get them to lay down are these... 1" bobby pins and my big sexy hair -it's not going anywhere- hairspray (follow the links to Amazon if you need to purchase your own hair loss survival kit!). My daughter will be 1 on Saturday, and after having luscious, ...
