Into the Trenches
As I enjoy this time before my 4th and last chemo treatment next week, I’m faced with not only excitement, but also many worries and fears about my future. It may seem like things are finally “over”, but there’s still a laundry list of things I’ll need to deal with such as hormone treatments, residual side effects such as fatigue, and overall just trying to feel like myself again. I met with the doctor this week and went in thinking this would be an…

Fit with the Force
This may sound like another familiar New Year resolution, but I have been determined to get in shape as much as possible these past couple of weeks. Before you freak out that I’m trying to lose weight (because I seem to get that reaction whenever I tell people I need to work out), let me explain myself. After going through a pretty rough patch during my last round of chemo, I just felt the need to get my body in better shape before my next round. Many have…

New Year, New Do
Happy New Year!! Ok, I’m about 6 days late, but better late than never. So besides this amazing Star Wars bodysuit that I’m wearing, you might also notice I’m wearing a wig in today’s outfit!

Lessons from The Dark Side
When people ask me how I’m doing these days, I know that it’s not meant in a casual sense of “Hi, how are you?”. It’s more like “How are you?” with a look of sympathy, care, and concern.

Do they really want to hear about my nausea, hair…

The Droid I’m Looking For
I can’t believe we are only days away from The Force Awakens, which means Star Wars all week! With the cold weather in full force, I’m so excited for the variety of Star Wars jackets that have been coming out, especially this BB-8 one! I wore this casually last weekend at The Force Awakens pin event in Hollywood and today I’m trying it out a little more dressed up. Get ready for lots of Star Wars this week!!

Groovy Deals
I wanted to take a quick mental break from Star Wars today to actually wear and enjoy some of the fun stuff I got from Black Friday shopping! Among the many things I purchased, I made sure to take full advantage the “$10 for all tees” sale at Hot Topic and picked up this vintage style Black Widow tee, even more appealing because of the ringer neck. I love it’s old school similarities to shirts I wore when I was a kid. And no matter how…
