Eve    5:24 PM    2 comments
Allow me to let you in on a little secret: SELF-LOVE IS ESSENTIAL FOR SURVIVAL. from Hannah's 31 days of Goodnight Beautiful Day Self-love isn’t just something you decide that you want, like a new dress. Self-love is something that you need, just like your fruits and veggies. You can decide...

shedding the SHOULD DO'S + doing what I WANT

Eve    12:53 PM    No comments
Yesterday I stumbled upon a spectacular website, Hello Month.  It combines photography and loving notes to create a calendar-like set up with a beautiful reminder each day to care for yourself. (I seriously encourage you to follow the link and take a peek.) Today’s message struck me on a personal level… Sarah writes: Dear Me, A day without shoulds...is it even possible? Today, we’re...

I AM AWESOME (AND PRESTIGIOUS) + so are YOU

Eve    2:22 PM    No comments
At the beginning of this month I had a very relaxed interview with a professor I admire greatly. She was looking for 2-3 research assistants for her current project, and I was one of the ten students asked to apply.  Let me just say: this is something I have dismissed ever happening since my...

(Oh, yes. Here I am doing my weekly reads, two weeks late and at the middle-end of a random week. Because college has taken over me from the inside out, and Thursday night felt like a good a night as any to put up some fantastic reads for you. Enjoy~)  This is a post overflowing with...

Girl's Get Periods

Eve    12:41 PM    No comments
I had an epiphany today.  It happened as I scurried back into class thinking, "Another crisis averted," and sat down still slightly embarrassed.  See, ten minutes into my Women's Diversity class this morning I was almost positive that I had gotten my period. A serious situation that needed to be handled ASAP lest I wanted to become Amelia from 10th grade who got her period...

Dear Self

Eve    9:58 AM    No comments
Dear Self, You screw up a lot. You yell a lot. You have a bad temper.  You bear a lot of hurt and deal a lot of hurt in return.  You are often anxious about the current situation and need a hug, but instead of asking for one, you find yourself snapping at loved ones and getting anger...

Sign up for this "bonanza of love notes" from beautiful  Mara Glatzel! I know I did, and the first e-mail was just  as wonderful and uplifting as I could have hoped. Ever-encouraging Jes wrote one of the most raw and INSPIRING pieces I've read to date. It was beyond  powerful. Seriously,...

Fight the War

Eve    12:33 PM    No comments
Loving my body is an every day war.  Not just with myself but with the people on the street that I compare myself to, the celebrity bodies everywhere, and the society that is enabling all of the negative imagery, advertising, and thinking to happen in and around my life.  This amazing...

It's freshman weekend in my hometown, and in exactly one week Katelin and I move back into dorms and begin classes. Oh, Summer, care to explain yourself? I love to make personal goals for new years, so I've made up a list of some for this school year below. Feel free to join me and leave some of your...

Coming Back to the Self

Eve    6:34 PM    No comments
Loving myself and loving my body are two very different (yet connected) things. Why didn't I ever realize this?  Without the first, I cannot be fully enriched with the latter. This seems obvious, but I don't think I've ever totally absorbed this fact. I've always focused on tackling love for...

Crabby-Rude-Snappy-Pants

Eve    6:43 AM    No comments
A few days ago I tweeted, "Some days you're not a spitfire, you're a crabby-rude-snappy-pants, and you should stay away from other humans. #me" Because some days and weeks are just rough. Especially the weeks where I get my period in the 30-minute car ride to work (also the day I remind myself to bring a pad and still forget), bleed through my shorts, and find out the pad/tampon dispenser in the...

Self Love and My One Year Anniversary

Eve    7:37 AM    4 comments
Friday, Katelin and I celebrated one year of being together. This was obviously a special day that we had been waiting on for at least the past two months, even caving and exchanging presents weeks before the big day. It pretty much felt like a summer long celebration, and I loved it!  This is...
