Question {Why Did I Start Blogging?}


 Happy Thursday! I feel like I do the same blogs over an over. Weekend recap, W.O.W., what my weekend is going to look like, talk about health and fitness, etc. These are all GREAT, that’s what I love about blogging. I am can talk about SOO many different things. But I thought I was getting boring, so I decided to Pinterest blog ideas {HA HA SHOCKER!}. I found 600 different questions to answer for your bloggers, well most had to do with babies. And dear baby Jesus we all know I have NOOOO kids, yet, for a while.

So I am going to try to do a question every Thursday.

Are you ready to learn a little more about me today?! Todays question:

What got you started blogging?

Well back to my friend Pinterest (gosh, we are like BFFs). I was searching fitness and came across Mama Laughlins blog and from her blog I came across Skinny Megs blog. My two favorite blogs! They are both moms who were once fat and got fit.

I thought it would be cool if I started a blog, but I knew I wouldn’t have any followers. But I thought I would do it for myself and go from there. For some reason I was nervous to tell my friends about my blog? I get nervous when people read my writings for school. But now I realize a blog is different it is fun it is a place I can truly be myself and do whatever the heck I want.

I thought blogging about exercise and healthy foods would be a fun way to share my knowledge {which isn’t a lot!} and also gain knowledge from other blogs.

I wanted to have a place where I could just go and write for fun. Does it matter if I swear? No. Does it matter if I misspell a word? No. Does it matter what I talk about? No. Because this is a place for me to be me, and if you don’t like it then there is no need to follow me. But if you do enjoy bad jokes and spelling errors then this is the place for you.

Anyway, I started my blog and starting writing. I had so many cool ideas in the beginning, then I was like well shoot all my good ideas are gone, now what? AKA, why I am trying this Pinterest question thing.

I then got my friends (Catherine, Katie, Lauren and Courtney) to start blogging! Now it is a way we communicate being so far apart.

I am now addicted to blogging, which is a good and bad thing!

What got you into blogging?

Because no post is complete without a picture.... Here are some of my favorite pictures that I 'had to capture' for the blog.
YUM. Rice cake, avocado, cucumber and chicken

Not loving the rain. Ruins my hair.

This is what I live for. Shopping the sale racks
at Macy's. XOXOXOX I love you Macy's

W.O.W {#10}


Who doesn’t want a perfect butt? I don’t think there is one person in this world who doesn’t want a little junk in the trunk.

I always had a super flat butt until I started working out and squatting. My butt has since grown but it isn’t where I want it to be! So I continue to find exercises to get a better butt.



I tried this at the gym and boy did I feel it! I like to do a little more and extra than what they say. Give it a try, challenge yourself to do it daily, you never know, in one month you could look like Kim K.! Ha!

Deli Meat + A Little Eddie Bauer


Yesterday I was having a conversation with my friend Allie about deli meat. More specifically Subway, she asked me why I don’t eat there anymore because last year Subway was my favorite ‘fast food’ restaurant. I mean it was my 'go to' healthy restaurant... 

Well…. Lets start with deli meat. You need to be careful! Some meats are very sketchy looking, perfect example, the deli meat at my school. Gross. But how about Subway, “always fresh”…. Hmmm. Are they?

I have stopped going to Subway because I don’t trust their meat, this is MY opinion. If you like Subway and you feel you can trust it, KEEP GOING! If I were to have to go to Subway today I would get bread and veggies.

So anyway, it was ironic that Allie and I were talking about this because I was on FB later in the day and came across this article. Take a peek! {LINK HERE}

My new favorite store is Eddie Bauer... I have been spending a little too much money there lately! But boy they have the best sweaters around, not joking. I also know I am paying a lot for a sweater but it is HIGH QUALITY and will be with me for a long time.



The flannel & sweater are from Eddie Bauer. So flipping comfy.
Writing this post makes me want to put it on. ha

Just A Typical Weekend Recap


Happy Monday! Are you ready for another crazy week? I am not ready, but I better get ready. Because this week is going to be a crazy one in order to have a whole 10 days off from school, which Is when I will get to go to California to see Ellen and then have Thanksgiving with the family. Buckle up Bailey McKenzie!

This weekend was crazy fun! Here are a few pictures. No words needed for that pizza minus a get your butt to the gym, but that’s ok because it was delicious! (And it’s my last month at school – I am not going to go ‘crazy’ but I want to enjoy my time and enjoy what Fargo/Moorhead has to offer : ))




I have some fun blogs for this week so be sure to check back! Have a great day.

Finally Friday... PTL


It’s FINALLY FRIDAY people! Yippppie.

Praise The Lord!

I am excited for all the shit I have to do this weekend fun I’m going to have this weekend. As my weekends are coming to an end at Concordia I want to live them up and have fun (literally, only 2 weekends left including this weekend, insert sad face here).

This weekend I have plans to go to the basketball game, go to the football game, go to a musical (my friends cousin is performing), get in a longer run, cycle and just hangout! I am super excited.

Today has been a great day health wise. I started my day off at the gym with a nice run on the treadmill. Then I had a protein shake, yummy fajita salad, some veggies, cottage cheese, and now I am off to nanny. (Usually where my eating goes down hill)…

I have been snapping photos of things I think are just funny, and I feel I must share them with you. Enjoy!

My thoughts for EVERY Friday


My family got our pictures back... I'm just gonna put it out there
and say we are good looking. We went through Hannah at Depict
photography... She is amazing. Check out her website, you may
even see a few of my senior pictures when I was a little chubbier
haha {website}




My roommate is a gem. Love her.

Mhhhmm. Saw this on Twitter, my
future boyfriend/husband will be loved
a little more if he ever does this. So cute. 

What I love about this is it is saying
High School is OVER. Catherine and
I talked about this often. But we are new people now,
everyone has changed and is new. So stop
worrying about HS.
