Life After Cancer

Sometimes, life throws something at us that we would never imagine ever having to go through.
Sometimes, we are challenged to over come daunting obstacles that block our path.
Sometimes, the people in our lives mean more to us than they will ever know.

Never do you want to hear the word:
"Tumor"
or
"Cancer"
or
"Chemo" 

Pain and nausea became my normal.  Needles and bandages were a weekly staple.

The pity on other families faces when they saw I was the one attached to the machines, not my mother or father.  The question of "how old are you?" was hidden under their eyes.  But I saw it.  I heard them screaming in their heads, asking God "why would you let this happen?!"

I do not have the answer, I do not want the answer.  All I know is I'm a stronger, and better person after this.  I am more aware of what I'm putting into my body.  I listen to my body when it tells me I need to rest.

I don't take any day for granted, I'm thankful every morning I wake up to another beautiful day and you should be too.

Live life.
Do your thing.
Be you.

Love, Stevie

June 2016 Favorites

Hey Guys!

It's Stephanie, and I was wanting to talk about my monthly favorites.  I do not know if this will become a thing, or if I will just do it when I feel like I have some good things. So, let me know if you like posts like this.

Wow it's June, the year is already half over where has the time gone?!  I swear yesterday was JUST April....  Without further adieu, let's get into my favorites!  I'm going to do a few different categories, and I'm sure they will change from month to month.  



First, my favorite book.  I would have to say Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson is my top favorite book of the month.  Maybe even this year.  It's about a girl named Emily, who is very shy and reserved, and her journey over the summer after her best friend Sloan disappeared.

This seems slightly random, but my favorite food this month is grapes.  When I was grocery shopping, I found some on sale and they are sooooo good!!

I planned on including some makeup or beauty items, but to be honest, I haven't used anything new that I can talk about. Yet.  I was thinking of talking about my current makeup routine and things like that.  

Lastly I wanted to mention what I've been doing with my free time (besides reading of course) I've been writing in my journal!  I picked this up when I saw someone share the bullet journal method, and I kind of adopted it to a style that works for me.  I can do a post about that if anyone had any questions on how to set one up!

Well, thank you for reading!!

Love, Stephanie

Change of Theme?

Alright, here's the deal, while I love book blogging, I feel like there's no need for me to have two different blogs.  I have a WordPress where I mainly write all my reviews and such so I was thinking I would use this blog to kind of make things a little more personal.  

I want to share recipes, make up, fashion and other lifestyle things here.  


Updates 
  • I have started writing a book! #JuNoWriMo
  • I am bullet journaling now
  • I've been reading a lot more
  • Twitter is my jam
I think I'm going to keep the name of my blog, because I think it's cute and I like it.  I will just start posting different things on here to keep y'all on your toes!!



Well, that was a lot shorter than I thought, but I'm excited for the change!!

Love, Stephanie
