Long-distance relationships suck, but they don't have to be complicated.

I read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief years ago and never went on to read the series, so now I'm continuing on, and it's so good! They are short and quick but full of adventure and excitement and really enjoyable characters. This was book 13 this year! #reading #readingtime #readeveryday #abookaweek2019 #percyjackson #thelightningthief #magic #mythology #thetitanscurse #ontheshelf #bookshelf #lovebooks #bookrecommendations

Looooove books about how our brains work? Then this is the book for you! . It's full of studies, experiments, and anecdotes that really make you evaluate what you think, see, and remember. #theinvisiblegorilla #readeveryday #abookaweek2019 #book10 #lovebooks #ontheshelf #intuition #alwayslearning #reading #bookrecommendations

I just finished Rachel Hollis's book Girl, Wash Your Face, and I loved it. (It was book #9 for #abookaweek2019) Rachel definitely writes from her heart and did a wonderful job capturing what, I'm sure, a lot of moms and women feel. Definitely give it a read, but keep tissues close-a few parts really hit the feels pretty hard! #readeveryday #girlwashyourface #merrygoround #readingispower #bookrecommendation #youshouldread #whattoread

Book #8 was Eragon. It was a vehement student recommendation, and I finally caved. I really liked it! Paolini was 15 when he started writing it and did the interior artwork. Just goes to show that you can do anything you want at anytime! On another note, I've read 2,753 pages so far in #abookaweek2019 #read #reading #readeveryday #books #ontheshelf #bookrecommendations #lovereading #Eragon #dragons #littlemoments #motivation #inspiration

In 1951, a 31 year old woman walked into a doctor's office and was biopsied for cervical cancer. Her cells would later revolutionize the medical testing industry. She gave no consent and was unaware of the impact that she would have on modern medicine. More than 20 years later, her children found out about their mother's hidden legacy. The story of Henrietta Lacks and the HeLa cells was the book that sparked my love of nonfiction. Until I read this book, I was a fiction girl through and through. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot opened an entirely new world of knowledge for me and widened the scope of my interests considerably. If you want to read more, I started a {You Should Read} series on The Practical Pen blog recommending books that, well....you should read!!! #youshouldread #theimmortallifeofhenriettalacks #rebeccaskloot #readeveryday #abookaweek2019 #startmondaywrite #writerscommunity #readerscommunity #writingaboutreading #bookrecommendations #goodbooks #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #nonfictionreads #booksworthreading ##science #cells #compassion #acceptance #seepeople

As I've been getting into graphic design, and creating Instagram posts, logos, business cards, etc, it seems like everyone else sort of knows what they're doing while I've felt like I've been floundering around. But isn't that how everything goes? You see what other people are doing and always kind of feel like you are a few steps behind when really you're exactly where you should be and can start working towards what you want. Well, as I've been figuring out this graphic design thing I thought that maybe I needed Photoshop, but it turns out that there are a ton of FREE resources that can do a lot of the things that Photoshop can. If you want to see what a little practice and persistence (and FREE resources) can do, take a look at my earlier Instagram posts-I think I've come quite a ways. All I've been using is the free resources in the post that I just posted on The Practical Pen blog-FREE Graphic Design Resources for Beginners from a Beginner. Each one takes a little getting used to, but I think they're all really user friendly, which is pretty much my favorite thing about anything! What do you use for graphic design? #graphicdesign #graphicdesignresources #blogger #bloggingresources #lifestyleblogger #debtfreeblogger ##foodblogger #photographyblogger #blogging #figureitout #free #freeresources #frugal #cheap #diy #diygraphicdesign
