Help Me Please: Sunscreen and Body Lotion Recommendations Needed!

May 23, 2019 by Tanya // 4 Comments

So dramatic with the exclamation point, I know. 😀 But the drama is real, my friends. Super, super real. I am at the age where you really shouldn’t look too closely at your skin in a magnifying mirror because OH MY GOD! The Crypt Keeper would be all, “Damn, girl.” It was so bad that I needed to lay down afterwards. #TrueStory

Some Light for Dark Times

May 20, 2019 by Tanya // 8 Comments

I don’t want to be all melodramatic but it feels like we’re going so far backwards that I expect to see cavemen hanging out at McDonalds and a T-Rex bellowing next to the Hollywood sign and it’s not CGI or make-believe. It’s scary, frustrating and exhausting. We need to continue to speak up and take action (it’s called nominating good candidates and voting) but we also need to feed our soul with humor, love and kindness. And that’s my plan for today.

Favorite Three Things Prompt

May 16, 2019 by Tanya // 6 Comments

Yup, I’m doing it again: copying from my blogging buddies. Listen, I set a goal to blog two times a week, which I am doing – thank you very much. And in order to meet that goal, I need a little help from my friends, like Rebecca who recently shared a fun post on her Top 3 Things. I loved it and decided to borrow the idea, which she had already borrowed from a friend. Because let’s be real: blogging is all about copying your buddies.

April Bookshelf: The Hyped Book Month

May 13, 2019 by Tanya // 44 Comments

Oh look at me. Reading. Four books. That’s right. I said FOUR books. 1, 2, 3, 4 books. To be fair, it was actually more than four books. I reread a few books that I’m not including here. Why mention those books then, you ask? Yo. I’m flexing. I spent several long months reading none-to-one books. Let me flex!

Rhubarb Strawberry Dump Cake

May 9, 2019 by Tanya // 2 Comments

Every Mother’s Day I like to make a special treat to honor my Mom, even though I won’t be able to make it for her personally this Sunday but will whip up this easy peasy and delicious dessert the next time I’m home. And this Strawberry Rhubarb Dump Cake is a home run dessert. The kind my entire family devours in one sitting because it’s their kind of dessert, which is basically any dessert. 😀

A Walk in Photographs

Yup. I did it. I took a walk on Sunday, which means that I have exercised once in May and have four more workouts left for the month. 100% doable! Admittedly my walk was a bit more leisurely than fast-paced, which is fine. I wasn’t looking to burn a ton of calories but to get out, enjoy the sun (and beach) and move my body. Mission accomplished!
