Let's Talk Love. Or try to.

I am NOT a love expert AT ALL.  I have been heart broken a few times in my short life though and my dear girlfriends have been through their love and heartbreak too.  From these experiences I'd like to share some insights with you on love that I've come to learn over the course of years and relationships and a lot of eff ups.  About fighting and different personalities and why people want to be with people who don't always agree with them.

But let's back up a bit...

Young, Successful, and Fat - My Decision to Try the 21 Day Sugar Detox

NOTE: This post was originally shared on Bottle Dottle but I moved it here and I'll provide a "day to day" account of the Detox.

Hi, my name is Cassidy.  I am “fat.” At least according to those truly demotivational “BMI Charts.”

Me, January 2, 2014

My dad died in October 2012.  While it’s crappy to make excuses, I went into “survival mode.” I just wanted to drink to make it better, eat comfort foods, and be with friends.  I didn’t look at the scale for months.  While my dad was dying I happened into a life-changing relationship.  Talk about ups and downs!  Being in love while being totally eviscerated by the loss of the most influential person in my life?!  It was a disaster!!!  And then it seemed out of the blue my clothes didn’t fit and I weighed a whopping 35 pounds more!  How could this happen??

Bonjour! Here's an Easy Quiche Lorraine

Hi, my name is Cassidy. I'm a lawyer (trust me it's not glamorous).  Although I like lawyering well enough I am always striving to be awesome at home as well as out in the world. I also love parentheticals. But anyway, I spend a lot of time shopping, cooking, pinning, crafting, and trying to improve myself while being a good girlfriend and dog mom.

Here are my "babies" being all cute.

Moving on, I have no clue about blogging. I figured that I'd give it a go so my friends and family could learn some fun things and see what trouble I'm getting into next.
