This is a super cute DIY and takes just a few minutes. You can also get creative with the paint colors, or stick with the traditional orange, up to you! Either way, this was a lot of fun to do and is a great quick way to add a little…

It’s the last day of September, and with a nice and chilly 50 degree morning, the trees that have been holding on to their summer green will finally give up the ghost and start changing!!! Also, I am so excited for October, I simply couldn’t wait to get started with…
You may recall that I have had my struggles with weight and had success on Weight Watchers. Well, that success has been a few years past and I kind of (big time actually) fell off the wagon. So when I re-joined Weight Watchers just over a week ago, I was…
Awhile back, I posted my Tin Can Succulents, and for awhile, I had a lot of fun with my “garden” at work. But two months later, my plants were getting soft, and some were even translucent. This, my friends, was my first experience with “root rot.” Turns out, while these…
You GUYS …. I just discovered you could embed Spotify playlists! So excited to make this post even easier for Spotify users. I couldn’t be more of an advocate of using Spotify, as new music is key to getting me through my days. I will still link to the youtube…
Ahhhh! I know I just used a terrible marketing cliche. But seriously, I am head over heels for Jamberry. If you haven’t heard of this product, these are essentially fingernail (or toenail) stickers/wraps. I was initially wary of this trend, as I wasn’t very sold on how well they would…
When there was a call for desserts for a co-worker’s baby shower… I couldn’t help myself and jumped at the opportunity to try something fun! I’d had to miss the last baby shower and wanted to do this one “right.” It might look like a lot for one night, but…
Serena Ryder Stompa Orianthi Orianthi is actually an old favorite, and I am enamored by her amazing blues guitar. You might know her better from her early hit, “According to You,” but I put it to you… her other tracks such as Frozen and How Do You Sleep? are just…
I know what you are thinking… Halloween is not for more than a month. But I cannot tell you how excited I am! This is my absolute favorite holiday, and I feel it often gets overlooked. When I saw Halloween decor and costumes for sale in August, I was like…
I was just able to spend the last weekend in Reno, NV with my Great Grandma on her 101st birthday! Reno will always be a special place in my heart, as it is this woman I am named after. At 101, she may need a walker, but she still is…
When dealing with chronic pain, especially when not using medication to manage, you need to have tools in place to help you deal with every day management and flare ups. Here are some of my favorites! Salonpas Pain Relieving Patch In the month or two after the PRC, I felt…
Melanie Martinez I love this girl! Ever since she was on the Voice, I have loved her style. This album kind of has this tortured innocence about it, but her songs cover some really serious topics…. Listen to Tag You’re It and see if you agree. Mrs. Potato Head…
In the past few weeks, I have started to notice my control over my triggers slipping. Nothing major, no blowouts. Just that feeling… the one where I feel like I am one step ahead of falling apart. That I have to keep spinning or I will collapse, like a toy…
I have a lot of scars. Some you cannot see. But many, you can… see I have chronic pain in three different manifestations. Perhaps they are connected, perhaps not. And in all honestly, I realized along the way that worrying what caused what no longer matters. You just have to…
This week I have found two new artists where I cannot get enough of their music! Halsey Drive Castle Tribe Society Pain Told Love Bullet With Butterfly Wings Great cover of Smashing Pumpkins! I also highly recommend checking out their “Cleaning Out My Closet” cover. Twenty One Pilots Stressed Out…
My mom had an over abundance of tomatoes in her garden and I was more than happy to take them off her hands. I didn’t know exactly what I would use them for, but I would absolutely use them. Having gotten down to the last few tomatoes, a friend posted…
Until recently, I had assumed that Pandora and Spotify were interchangeable services, and boy was I wrong! I had previously only used Pandora, and had essentially stopped using it completely in past months since the algorithms had started playing very similar music across multiple playlists and I almost never experienced…
I recently ran into this quote from Patricia Hampl. “Maybe being oneself is always an acquired taste.” Reading it almost took my breath away, as it so perfectly illustrated something I had been struggling with recently. Actually, struggling with my whole life, and very specifically, today. My Most Recent Introversion…
I’ll be upfront… Im actually not a huge fan of summer. Now that I am past the years of getting summers off from school, all it means is that I will be really hot and not feel like I look good in anything. Swimming and other events, while I enjoy…
When I received my driving instructions to get to the Dream Center, I nearly lost it when the instructions included, “Turn left at the Ghost Town of Scenic!” There were a few structures on the side of I-90 that had always fascinated me as I drove past, but I was…
Hi! I'm Alyce.
