This year was awesome. I can’t say for sure that it was my favorite year of life to date, but I’d say it’s a super fierce competitor in the Blair’s Best Year of Life running. Here’s what went down this year: I graduated college. I was hired at my first full-time job. I moved to [Continue Reading…]

Getting Laid Off 6 Months Into My First Job Out Of College
This past Tuesday began like every other Tuesday for the past six months, except for a few extra steps in my morning routine thanks to my new ball of fur, Charley. I woke up, took Charley out, put on an outfit and makeup, straightened up the apartment, and checked my email before I headed out [Continue Reading…]
Looking Back On My 21st Year of Life…And Looking Forward To My 22nd!
I can’t believe that I’m already another year older. I’m even more surprised (albeit extremely relieved) that no one has made me sit awkwardly while they sing Happy Birthday to me yet…yet is the key word here…my friends know me…it will happen for the sake of my discomfort alone. This past year was the most [Continue Reading…]
Blair Blogs Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide 2013
Can you believe we’re already in December? So much has changed in the past year, yet it feels like I was just celebrating Christmas with my family a few days ago. The older I get, the faster time flies–seriously. Okay, okay. Enough with the “my how time flies” cliches. It’s the holiday season again, which [Continue Reading…]
Ikea Malm Dresser Hack (Makeover)
This is kind of embarrassing to tell you the truth. I’ve been talking about updating my bedroom since July, in this post. After that post, I wrote a few days later about my plans to buy an Ikea dresser and “hack it” (make it over). Then August came and went. Then September. Then October. Now, [Continue Reading…]
DIY Prayer Chalkboard
In this season of Thanksgiving, I’ve spent some time reflecting on the past year, and the degree to which I am blessed has struck me. A warm home, a car, a job–those three alone make me one of the luckiest people in the world. Add a heaping spoonful of love from my family and friends, [Continue Reading…]
Why You Need To Learn To Forgive Yourself
I walk into my apartment, tripping over two pairs of shoes. Looking around, I sigh at the random piles of laundry haphazardly cluttering my carpeted floor. Saturday’s outfit in the corner, Sunday’s outfit by the sofa. When did I even wear those jeans? There’s a half-constructed Ikea dresser laying in the middle of the living room, [Continue Reading…]
22 Movies That I Simply Adore
I LOVE MOVIES. I admire people who have a favorite movie for life…actually, I admire people who have a favorite anything for life. I always joke that I’m like Julia Roberts’ character in Runaway Bride because she doesn’t know what kind of eggs she likes best (scrambled, fried, hard-boiled, etc.). I’m that way with candy, movies, and [Continue Reading…]
When We Think Things Should Go One Way, & They Don’t
It was January of 2011. I was sick. Sick with illness that wouldn’t go away and sick with a heartache that wouldn’t get better. I was at a low point, for which I am now very thankful for, because I experienced God holding me in a way I have experienced few times in my life. [Continue Reading…]
10 Kitchen Gadgets You Never Knew You Always Wanted
I love cooking and baking. I joke that I’m a homemaker even though I’m unmarried and childless…what can I say, the kitchen is my domain! And although my apartment is far from complete, my kitchen is pretty rockin’ if I do say so myself. Kitchen gadgets make my heart happy. I don’t have room for [Continue Reading…]
