    • Trying the Matcha Frappuccino from Starbucks

      Posted at 12:43 pm by Kelli, on September 26, 2019

      You should check out my YouTube video! It’s been so long since I’ve uploaded so I apologize. It’s not because I haven’t filmed anything, but I haven’t had the motivation to edit! Hopefully I’ll do better…

      I would appreciate it if you liked, commented and subscribed to my YouTube channel. 🙂

      Have a great day!

    • 10 things that make me really happy

      Posted at 10:00 am by Kelli, on August 1, 2019

      I am never motivated to come up with anything to write about. This goes with writing a blog post and for a book. It wasn’t always this way, but here lately I’ve been in a writer’s block.

      However, I was searching on Pinterest the other day, and I found a 30 day writing challenge that I thought was perfect for my blog. My book is still struggling lol.

      Let’s hope I can keep writing every day. If you would like to join in on this challenge, take a look at my last post here!

      Day 1 – List 10 things that make you really happy

      (1) My animals

      My animals (4 cats & 1 dog) are my babies. To be honest, they are not all mine, but I treat them as if they were. My favorite thing to do (if my cats will let me) is to hold them in my arms as if they were a baby. What’s baby fever? I only know of kitten fever.

      (2) Working out

      Working out helps my mental health. If I am ever anxious at school, I always head to the gym. I’ll either do some yoga (their classes are amazing) or I’ll go for a run. It genuinely makes me feel better. I also like doing other things/classes, but those are my two main ones that I do in order to make myself feel better.

      (3) Coffee (with or without friends)

      Coffee is life. I love drinking coffee – especially with friends. It’s perfect when a friend and I can sit together, talk and sip on some coffee.

      (4) Walking outside (especially hiking)

      When I am in a good mood, walking outside is perfect. I love listening to the birds and looking at the scenery. I walk around my college town quite a bit.

      (5) Reading books/blog posts

      I’ve always been a book reader. Sadly, I have not been able to read as much as I used to before I graduated high school, but I do occasionally when I have the time to read. Do you recommend any? I try to read blog posts every day. I find them very interesting.

      (6) Harry Potter

      I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love Harry Potter. Almost everyone at least has one thing that they are obsessed with. Harry Potter is mine. I’m thinking about making a youtube video about all the Harry Potter stuff I have. Spoiler alert; it’s a lot.

      (7) Socializing

      I used to be extremely introverted. I never wanted to talk to people that weren’t one the very few close friends I had. I was super shy, and I could barely speak to people when spoken too. Sometimes it’s still hard, but since I started college and started working at a restaurant, I have become more extroverted. Talking to people (that aren’t toxic) makes me happy.

      (8) Traveling

      Getting away from my town makes me happier. I love going on vacation and getting away from everything. I hope to find a job that allows me to travel. Staying in one place makes me feel trapped.

      (9) Working

      You may be thinking “working makes you happy? You must be crazy!” I might be crazy for liking to work, but I love how it keeps me busy. It’s something that I HAVE to do so it makes me get out of my house. Otherwise, sometimes I don’t want to do anything. Those days don’t turn out so great.

      (10) Music

      I love singing at the top of my lungs. It puts me in a good mood to do that and dance too.

    • May in Pictures

      Posted at 6:06 am by Kelli, on May 30, 2019

      I saw that someone did something similar to this, and I thought it was a really cool idea. A picture is a snapshot of a memory! Here are some good memories from May 2019.

      Strawberry festival

      My Pa’s new puppy, Kai

      Khole loves laying on people

      Night hike with one of my faves (other friends not pictured)

      Swimming at the local lake for Memorial Day

      Started going to the gym

      2/5 of my babies (although technically they’re not all mine)

    • 10 Things I Love About Fall

      Posted at 6:15 pm by Kelli, on October 14, 2017

      Hello lovlies, cool weather has come upon us and as my first (technically second though) post, I wanted to share some things that I love about this season!

      1. Pumpkins

      • I think my love for pumpkins started when I was little and watching Cinderella. That has always been my favorite princess movie and I’ve kind of associated pumpkins with it. I also love carving pumpkins (though I’ve only done it twice.) And let’s not forget about pumpkin spice lattes! Yum!

      2. Hot Chocolate

      • Honestly, hot chocolate is good all around but especially during the fall. The mixture of the cooling weather and the holidays throughout the fall season just calls for some hot chocolate!

      3. Halloween

      • It’s probably one of my favorite holidays. I love to watch Tim Burton movies during this time. Also, just giving out candy to trick-or-treaters makes me really happy too.

      4. Cuddles

      • Normally I just like cuddling animals but during the colder months I tend to want to cuddle humans too. (Weird, I know.)

      5. Bonfires

      • I love being around a bonfire with friends just talking and roasting marshmallows.

      6. Football

      • I don’t thank my ex for much but I do thank him for getting me interested in football.

      7. The changing of the leaves

      • The colors of the leaves changing is probably the best part! I just look in awe at the colors.

      8. Thanksgiving food

      • My family’s food is seriously the best! We pretty much have a huge family reunion (with a lot of family friends too.)

      9. Putting up the Christmas tree

      • I love decorating the Christmas tree. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I get out the tree!

      10. Christmas music

      • I love getting in the Christmas spirit and music is the way to do it. My favorite song is All I Want For Christmas is You.
