Ladies, Self Care Sunday Is The Key To A Kickass 2018

It's not selfish; it's essential.

Happy 2018, ladies!

We're officially two weeks into the new year. I don't know about y'all, but I already feel as though it's going to be one for the books. I mean, did y'all see Oprah's Golden Globes speech? What an inspiring and enriching way to embark on this year's journey.

ICYMI: Women are rising up all over the world and proving that we deserve to be celebrated, noticed, and respected. It's long overdue, but I am ecstatic to be a part of this cultural and historical shift.

However, if we expect to be celebrated, noticed, and respected by those around us, we must celebrate, notice, and respect ourselves as well.

So, I challenge all women to participate in #SelfCareSunday.

I challenge women to designate at least an hour, every Sunday, no matter what, to themselves. Or if your schedule allows it, designate the whole freakin' day.

But if you're like me and you're life never seems to slow down, promise yourself TODAY that you will do at least one positive thing for yourself every Sunday. Go eat at your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Drink your favorite cup of coffee. Buy that dress you've been wanting. Shave your legs. Lay in bed all day and watch your favorite cheesy sitcom. Buy a super expensive face mask and use it.

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

Finding time for yourself can be difficult, but utilizing Sunday's are a great way to accomplish just that. Do you think Sunday marks the end of the week? The beginning of the week? Who cares! Make it work for you. Relax. Reflect. Look forward. Treat yo self.

Once you learn how to adjust yourself to allocating time and attention for yourself every Sunday, start doing it every single day. If you're already doing that, YOU GO GIRL.

Trust me when I say a little self-care goes a long way. It completely changes your perspective, your relationships, and your determination. It makes you happier and more honest with yourself and the people around you.

So...

Pay attention to yourself. Love yourself. Embrace yourself. Make time for yourself. Remember, you are worthy and people around you will think the same if YOU think the same.

I'll leave my fellow ladies with this quote:

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
