yesterday i turned 25 – like what? honestly, how am i 25 already? i can’t even believe it. even turning 24 or 23 didn’t seem this old. and i know – 25 isn’t old. but give me a break, i’ve never been this old before. but i guess i’ll also never be this young again either. food for thought speaking of food, yesterday was also taco tuesday! only my favorite day of the week, duh. so, even though it was raining, it was still taco tuesday and i still got to spend the entire day with my boyfriend and kylo. we tried to make cute cupcakes and they just did not turn out.. but they still tasted good. birthdays are weird. or maybe i’m just weird and feel awkward when someone says ‘happy birthday’ to me lol that’s probably it. now, i could give you some inspirational bull about what i’ve learned in the last 25 years and how i’ve grown so much as a person, blah blah blah. but i’m not going to. if i’ve learned anything in the last 25 years, it’s that people don’t give a crap about that. sure, i’ve learned “not to care what everyone else thinks” but that doesn’t inspire anyone at all. or at least, reading that from someone else’s point of view doesn’t. i have no idea what i’ve been doing for the last 25 years and i don’t think anyone else really knows what they’re doing either. if you know me, you know i’m a twin and if you don’t, now you do. when i was 17 my sister passed away in a car accident. i’m only going to say this once – put your phone away when you’re driving. just do it. it’s really not hard. don’t act spoiled. you don’t need it. just put it away. it’s weird to know i’m getting older, but she will always be 17. it will also be weird when the years i’ve lived without her will be more than the years i lived with her, you know? i was with her for 17 years and it’s been 7 years since she passed. but how will i feel when it’s been 18 years since she’s passed. you know? weird life stuff. anyway, i wanted to share some photos from the unforgettable 90’s and a few from high school. they’re so funny! i feel like…

i want to first start off by saying – my allergies have officially arrived. i hate them so much! does anyone else suffer from spring or fall allergies? ugh, they’re the worst. my eyes itch so bad and they’re constantly watering. i swear people probably think i can’t stop crying.   anyway the week i feel like my weeks are always super uneventful. unless i go to a concert or something, like every once in a while, my week consists of going to work, cleaning, and running errands. pretty boring “adult” stuff. i really want to do a few diy projects this week, so let’s see if i have time to do them! they’re sooo cute, i have like three in mind. this weekend was beautiful! – again. which was awesome. earlier in the week it said it was supposed to rain all weekend but i’m really glad it didn’t. when it rains we obviously can’t take kylo to the dog park or for a walk, and since he’s still a puppy, those days can be rough inside the apartment. saturday stroll  saturday afternoon we took him on a walk through downtown. he’s had trouble with barking at literally everyone, so we really wanted to take the afternoon to train him. we took a spray bottle full of water and every time he would bark at someone walking by, we would spray him with it. now, i know what you’re thinking – that’s animal abuse!! well, no, it’s not. he has to learn. we weren’t mean about it and we rewarded him when he didn’t bark with lots of pets and treats. it only took him about two times being sprayed with water before he finally caught on. he did SO well! i was so proud. he would start to bark at someone and we would say “no barking” and he would just stop. eventually he didn’t even try to bark at anyone. so we’ve made progress! it’s so embarrassing when he barks at people, especially kids. i also LOVE the look of an accordion skirt. i think they’re so cute. i always thought i was way too short for them. i’m only 5’2 and sometimes it’s really hard to find maxi dresses and skirts that fit right. this one is from h&m and is perfect! spring is here, but i’m still not one to love spring colors. so naturally my…
