Okay team, so maybe this Change It Up isn’t exactly this-week-recent, but I feel like this week was definitely a sign of how far I’d come in this area since coming home from a mission last year. You see, up until semi-recently, I wasn’t quite aware that style blogs existed. Let me rephrase that: I …
Change It Up – Bold Lipstick
Lipstick has always freaked me out. Up until this last week, I’ve always considered it one of those mysterious beauty rituals that works for every other woman besides myself. I think it all goes back to the first time I tried lipstick, when I was 16. I read in one of the many teen magazines …
Change It Up – Closet Redesign
I have had the same closet design since I was 12. Color-coded. Skirts in the corner. Stuff I never wear on the right. This design works just great for a 12-year-old who just cares about finding something that’s clean and semi-matching. It doesn’t work so well for a 24-year-old who was thinking to herself every …

My life as a bookkeeper has lots of lulls…sometimes hours and hours of sitting at a desk, staring at the phone, willing it to ring while at the same time hoping that it won’t. To pass the time more enjoyably, I’ve tried numerous tactics: studying cookbooks (yes, I do actually study cookbooks), finishing the wedding …
Change It Up Vacation
Due to the fire at my work (check out the short article The Herald Journal did on it here) and also to the upcoming Pioneer Day holiday weekend, there will be no Change It Up Challenge post for this last week (although I did try out something new—I just haven’t had the time to blog …
Change It Up: Morning Scripture Study
After doing Change It Up Challenges in every other area: intellectual, physical, social, beautiful (ha ha), I knew it was high time to work on the spiritual when I was sitting in church this last Sunday and heard a talk in sacrament meeting that seemed to just clip me up-side the head and say: “This …
