Money is always a topic of discussion we stay away from. I've always been taught that you don't talk about how much you make with co-workers, friends and/or family. Well, in 2019 I took paying off Alvaro and my debt into my own hands and paid every open-ended loan we had and left my car payment (close-ended loan) to keep some kind of credit reporting loan active. Debt really felt like a never ending cycle of giving our money away to loan creditors and having most of the payment go to interest. It's a place I never want to go back to. I'm working on how I handle money and learning to let loose of the reigns a little bit when it comes to spending unplanned expenses. I don't want this to be a episode where people think I'm being conceded because I'm not struggling. I struggle in many aspects of my life that I have yet to share. I sacrificed a lot to get our debt paid off and have put lots of things on hold in order to get where we are today. Take this episode as you want, but I know I can't make all my listeners happy and really I don't care. I'm speaking my truth.

Death is always a strange thing and something that's hard to comprehend, at times. Especially when someone takes their own life. I need to move on from my current role, because it's too depressing and I just can't anymore. Usually when Alvaro's gone, I start to take better care of myself. I become independent and forced to do things on my own. Thank you, Husband for spoiling me lol but this time away always is a lesson for myself that I need to be more independent, like I used to be. BUT don't stop taking care of me! Baking season is in FULL swing and I can't get enough of my Great British Baking show! I love it so much and I think this will be the year I actually BAKE. No promises. Tender, Love and Care are important words we need to remember every single day. Be gentle with yourself, love yourself and care about yourself in every way possible. I, myself, am trying to remember these words, because they're important. Love you all! Thanks for listening. 

I went to my first Comedy show and saw Mark Normand. It was a great time and see going to more shows in the near future. Saw a different side of my husband, which made for good podcast content. It's hard coming up with things to talk about but this weekend was busy... It was past my bedtime, so here are times that I feel all over the place. Thanks for listening though!

Either I truly live under a rock or I completely missed this, but when did Sephora start selling sexy time toys???! I am all for sexy time shops and items, but not from a place that is known for selling makeup, skincare, lotions, face masks, perfumes etc. I just feel that you can get better products from your local shops or small online businesses that tailor in those specific adult toy items. I feel Sephora is becoming a one stop shop for unnecessary things at this point. I, by any means am not trying to bash anyone that uses or owns Adult Sexy time toys. I just have never openly talked about vibrators with strangers LOL sometimes you need to giggle through it. Anyways, enjoy this random episode of thoughts. 

Xoxo,

I'm back from Disneyland and I'm not 100% sure if this will be my first and last trip there. There was so much going on and I don't blame you if you stop listening half way. If you've been there, then you get it! You can move on from this one lol I was exhausting just talking about it all over again and reliving the whole trip. Happy to be home and not around a ton of people. Thanks for listening!

Time for some random thoughts! Alvaro no longer has a home here with me lol. Can't blow my nose and we're entering cold season. People's crunchy food has me feeling a certain way. Sistas! Hocus Pocus 2 was cute, but parents are too chill with letting their 8 year old roam the streets in the middle of the night, ALONE in their wizard costume! Kim K has now added "podcaster" to her resume... uggh. Going to the Mouse's House and look forward to telling you all about it! Hope you enjoyed this episode! 

I finally caught the bug! K-Pop has taken over my Spotify and I'm not mad about it. Another "make fun Alvaro" moment back fires. CL, IVE, Asepa, Taeyeon, XG, BlackPink and Rolling Quartz (rock band) have been my go to K-Pop Artists. I do mention the same exact thing about Backstreet Boys and N'Sync dance moves in the beginning and ending LOL (sorry, not sorry). Literally did not mean to do that but hey, it happens haha. Hope you enjoy and please try listening to some of these groups, if you haven't already. Thank, for listening! #SmoothLikeButter  

Vacation is always something I look forward to. This year we decided to stay local, yet again. Our Bailey girl is getting older and has been going through some stuff we're still unsure on what might be causing her body lunges. It's hard when your fur babies get older. Vacation at Trask River was just what we needed. I always enjoy disconnecting from the world and bask in the glory of Oregon's forests. The river was so peaceful. It must be since I spotted a Mermaid swimming in it! Being in nature is one of my favorite things to do. Closing your eyes and taking in all the sounds is one of the most peaceful things one can do to feel at peace. Thankful everyday for the life I have. Thanks for listening to my random thoughts and questions. 

Shane has finally made it to my podcast! I made no edits to this and it's a full on disaster. ENJOY!
