Taking a Break from Blogging and Why it's Okay

During the month of February, I took one of the longest breaks I think since I first started my blog, (this may not be true but it feels like the longest break ever to me). As some of you may know I am currently working on the last semester of my undergraduate degree. During the fall I had a tough semester which now can't even compare to this semester. I have never been more stressed out then I am with all the work and hurdles of this semester/year. I feel as though there is just one hurdle after the other to jump over in this past month and unfortunately this means that my blog was the last on my list of priorities. This actually broke my heart, I started this year and one of my goals was to throw myself completely into blogging because it is something that I am so passionate about. I'm not sure why I feel so strongly about writing this post this time after a break, maybe its because I'm feeling emotional about changes that are in the near future, or maybe because I had a goal and I didn't succeed with it. I think it's a combination of a bunch of different reasons. Just now as I read this I feel guilty that I'm not working on homework, which is the worst feeling in the world.

I think what I'm trying to say is that it's okay not to succeed on the first time on something. This is something that I'm learning how to cope with. Failing for the first time is OKAY, hell failing on the second and third time is okay too. Putting something on the back burner is okay also when something important needs to come first. BUT you should never forget about your dreams because your dream in life should be and is the most important aspect of your life. I think I read somewhere that Walt Disney was told he wasn't creative enough and a basketball player whose name I cannot remember didn't make his high school basketball team. Whatever your dream is that you want to achieve, never stop working towards it no matter how many breaks you need to take along the way.

So with that being said, I am back from my break and better because of it!

5 Things Friday

This has been quite the week and I am so ready for a relaxing weekend to start, 1:00 can't come fast enough today. This week I contracted bronchitis and it may actually be the worst ever. I completely took the day off from school and work on Wednesday to chill out and rest but I still don't feel my best so this weekend is filled with a ton of movies and ice cream.

1. Waterproof Lash Paradise I am obsessed with this mascara I leaning toward it's a pretty good dupe for the better than sex mascara and it's less than half the price. I don't know if I would get the waterproof one again because it is hard to get off but I don't know if that is just because I am not a fan of waterproof in general. 

2. Halloween owl mug- This is an old mug from a Hallmark store but I love to add small touches of fall and Halloween to my bedroom. So I added a cute succulent to this one and it is the perfect touch of fall!

3. Mini Babybell- This is my newest obsession, I don't know if it's the taste of the fact that the wax packaging is so fun to peel. I love to eat these for lunch with some Triscuits. So delicious! 

4. These are a pair of earrings that I received in my rocksbox and I think they are so fun! I wanted to wear them to a fiesta or a margarita night, that's what they remind me of! 

5. Cold medicine- These products have been my life savors this past week!
