For the past few years, I’ve seen temperature blankets floating around on Instagram and Pinterest, and I must say, I was intrigued.

Spring has sprung!!! It feels more like summer outside, but the fact that it’s not cold and that plants are growing and thriving is all that matters to me. Let’s talk about my garden… If you don’t know already, I’m a #CrazyPlantLady.

May 29th, 2019. This was the day I left my comfy, cozy bodybuilding/weightlifting world and entered into the realm of mirrorless gyms, chalk-coated clothing, and sweat-soaked shirts. Here I am a little over 7 months later, stronger, leaner, and more athletic than I’ve been in my entire life.

And just like that, it’s another year, another decade, and another opportunity to chase after my goals and dreams. 2019 was a rollercoaster… honestly, maybe ‘rollercoaster’ should’ve been my word for 2019.
