Thoughts About the Insignificant

life is pretty amazing

And the significant. 

I feel like I've been in a car for about a week, which is actually accurate. Family vacations in the south of Utah, when you live up north does that to you. But I'm back and feeling so fresh (because my hair is clean). Random rant, but I have this mattress that helps me have less back pain when I sleep, and I never notice until I sleep on literally anything else. It's the best and worst. Whenever I have a husband, we may just sleep in separate twin beds like a 1950's couple, because I cannot give this mattress up.

Today I was scrolling through Instagram, as you do, at pictures of myself, because I freakin love myself, and realized today was the day. The day I miss my long hair. Again, I love myself, but long hair has been my identity since birth, so it's completely normal for me to miss my hair. But I do need to congratulate my latest hairstylist, cause hey, it's been like two whole months that I've been blissfully happy with my short hair, which has never ever ever happened. So applause all around. Random side note as I do. I once had a conversation about the hairstyles of older women, as you do, and you know the hairstyles, short permed graying hair. I mentioned that I probably will have long hair when I'm older, because I don't love myself as much with short hair, and my friend said she didn't like older women with longer hair, she thought they were trying to look younger. Which, while I love her, I do not agree. Mainly because I admire, applaud, women who are older with beautiful gray, or white long hair, they look so good, and give me the confidence to do the same when I'm older.

I've noticed I've started using "as you do" a lot. I apologize.

You may know that I have a twin sister. I've posted some things on Instagram about how much I miss her, since she's serving a mission, and realize I have not done the same for my parents, who are also serving a mission. Well, mom and dad, if you are reading this, expect an Instagram coming your way, sometime in the near future.

I've tasted La Croix and decided I hate it. I've also decided it's stupid that it's pronounced la-croy. Also random side note, yes again, the only good limoncello is blood orange.

There are just some things that I wish I didn't have to deal with on a regular basis, like cleaning my nails; whether that is trimming them, or literally getting the dirt out from them. I would say shaving, but I kind of enjoy that. Ummm, getting rid of the hair that wants to grow in between your eyebrows, or your upper lip hair, or might I say that one very DARK, hair that decides to grow on your chin, and you don't notice until it's that dark, and you wonder why your family and friends don't love you/tell you about it. Ugh yeah, those are annoying. 

I've also decided it's high time that I do my absolute best to avoid complaining. It's not an attractive trait to have, to always complain about everything, instead of finding the good and beautiful that has happened to you. Also, I know I don't enjoy being around complainers, so why would I complain, knowing that the people around me don't enjoy it?

Before I go, I want to say like the above image, that life is pretty amazing. I really do believe that if you stop and look for beautiful things, you'll find them. 

Just enjoying life, as one should do ;)
