A Look At This Madness

This is what marks the start. The start of what may or may not make sense - aka the madness that goes on in this gooey pink thing that is my brain. I know, I'm already sounding so intelligent.

At this moment I am not entirely sure what the future posts have in store so I feel it is only right to say, I cannot entirely give you a proper introduction. Yes, I know I was redundant with the word "entirely" - This is what I like to entirely call emphasis. 

SO here it goes - 10 facts about me:

1. My name is Paige
2. I am an avid coffee drinker and life simply doesn't make sense when caffeine is excluded in my daily activities (I am addicted and am well aware of my problem) 
3. I love to laugh (hence my Instagram username: laughalot0912) - what comes with the territory of loving to laugh is laughing at all the wrong moments, like when my friend told me his dog died (thank god he was kidding) 
4. I have a dappled chiwini (Chihuahua and Dachshund hound mix) named Stella who I love to pieces - Is it weird I think my dog is beautiful?
5. I have a twin sister who although is fraternal, we look pretty identical - along with a brother who is three years older
5. I question if anyone has made it long enough to realize there are two number fives
6. My passions are reading (though I don't read enough), writing, creating (cards, banners, garland, jewelry, ect.), vintage (I mean, I own four typewriters for Pete's Sake (Who is Pete?!)), and dealing/ interacting with people
7. May sound cliche for a Cali girl but my heart belongs at the beach where I hope to live one day Edit on January 13: No longer cliche I have officially concluded I'd much rather spend my time hiking or walking around a lake. 
8. In case you haven't noticed, I am sarcastic and shouldn't be taken seriously 95% of the time
9. My two favorite words are simplicity and authenticity
10. I have two tattoos: one is a sunflower (on my upper mid back) because they always follow the light, so to me it is a reminder to think optimistically and the second is an arrow on my leg because "I just liked it" - later I added the meaning "arrows always have a goal" because so many people ask about it. Edit on January 13:I am covering up my arrow with a cherry blossom branch. This represents how fragile life is and we must cherish every moment.

Curve Ball

Back in July, life threw a curveball and I wound up pregnant, quite surprisingly, again. You know when society (and the box it comes in) says the morning after pill works as long as you take it within 72 hours? Well, I took it 12 hours later and it didn’t work. I thought I was being responsible for preventing pregnancy and it turns out life had other plans, and that’s okay. But those of you who would implode if they got pregnant, NEVER use plan B/ the morning after pill. I did some research and found if you ovulate within that window before you take the pill, it essentially becomes ineffective if there are some strong swimmers in there. So $40 later that tiny little thing was pointless. I was about 4 weeks along the process when I figured out what was happening. My period was late, which it had been for the last 5 months due to stress I presume, but something inside me said it wasn’t just a late period. I had an old test lying around. It was about 6am and I decided to take it before my...

Side Effects From The Pill

Just a heads up, this post is going to be personal... And this photo accurately sums up how I feel about the pill.  I started taking the pill around 16 years old to regulate my periods. Since then, I have taken it on and off for the last 6 years. Each time, it has had a pretty negative impact. They tell you it takes 3 months to adjust and though this might be true, I am 100% certain some of us will never adjust, take myself for example, after being on the pill for 7 months this go around.  "Are you taking it at the same time every day?" YES. I have an alarm set. Now that that is answered, lets move along.  Here are some side effects I experienced from taking the pill and how they have changed in the 3 weeks I have been off of it.  1. Extreme depression, mood swings, lots of crying. I had days where I literally did not want to live. All I could do was sit on the couch and hate my life, wanting to end it. This might sound extreme but every bit is...

Targeting the Girls

  Hey Target I’m calling you out. Can you please explain to me your little girl's section? Why does the majority look like 90s clothing from a TEEN movie? For 5-12-year-olds to wear? Why should this age group be encouraged to wear a pencil skirt or a skin-tight dress? What about the cropped tops? In what world should a 5-12-year-old be encouraged to wear a bustier-styled top? Or a dress with netting? It is sad to say in THIS world.   Dear Target you are a part of the problem with society. TARGETING the children. Making 10-year-olds dress like young adults with hemlines far shorter than a 5-12-year-old should wear. Hemlines and necklines that teens and 20 something’s are wearing to go out. Styles are far too identical to the “juniors” section, once again, targeting teens and young adults. So now the style from 5-20 something’s are the same? I was almost struggling to differentiate little girls from the lady’s section. There are dress styles you would find women wearing while wa...
