He's the Reason I Always Wear Rubber Boots
I couldn’t hear a word he was saying. His mouth was moving in slow motion, spit barreling out and riding the air. His soul, painted four shades darker today, was flashing warning signals at me from within his chest. The skin on his forehead was so furrowed, it looked like it had burrowed away into itself. I bet his nerves were having a fist fight. I bet it was because of me.

I, Human
It is almost three years since I have been attacked one early October morning as I was jogging around my neighborhood. Fortunately I was able to escape and the cops were able to catch him, but he was never prosecuted for it. Just once someone called about the incident a month later, but nothing after that. My trust with the police was already rocky to begin with, and this incident proved my belief even more. And even though I was not harmed, the incident left me paranoid around men and scared to the point I had to quit my job because the majority of my coworkers were guys. I just couldn't be there.

My First Ipsy Bag Review
I've always wanted to try Ipsy and after hearing so many things about it, some positive and some not so positive, I finally gave in and purchased my very first bag. Luckily, I didn't have to be put on any waiting list and received my bag shortly after ordering. Here is my review of my first Ipsy bag. Is an Ipsy bag actually worth $10 a month? Here are the five products I received and my opinions of the products; all of my opinions are honest and are not sponsored (although, I wish)!

Life as a Daughter of Agent Orange, Part 6
Later this week my dad will be going into surgery to fix a problem caused by him not following post-surgery orders nearly a year ago (that is a chapter all on its own!). With this surgery looming on the horizon, I keep thinking about my past as his daughter. I see how far I have come since I left for England six years ago on the 22nd of January. Those six months were exactly what I needed; they allowed me to grow as an adult in a way I never would have experienced if I had stayed home. For the first time I was able to go where I wanted whenever I wanted without parental permission or explaining why I was leaving. I walked nearly everywhere in Newcastle and felt like one of the locals most of the time (except for when I opened my mouth to speak). Being in such a beautiful city with lovely people, I was free to detox from all the years of negativity. My study abroad group went on several excursions and aside from those, I visited a few places on my own. The countryside of Scotland was by far my favorite; I lost myself in the rolling hills dotted with sheep. I admit I was scared the first time I went to a new town all on my own with no form of backup, but that fear was simply because I had never been given the gift of exploration as a child. Once I found out I could travel on my own in a foreign country, my wings took off and my spirit soared.

First-Time Mom Overload
The minute you announce that you are pregnant everyone seems super eager to get you things. This is a wonderful thing. People love to buy baby stuff, for some reason. And people love to buy baby stuff for babies that they don't have to look after. So, naturally, you can get a little overwhelmed as a first-time mom.

Deep Sea Creatures from Hell
As many of you know the oceans cover 70% of our planet, but most do not realize that we have only discovered about 5% of that. There are many dark and dangerous things left to explore and discover. As a young child I often dreamed of diving into dark waters to discover mermaids and other mythical creatures. Now that I am grown, I wonder about those stories of people hearing singing off of secluded shores, and the tales surrounding the Loch Ness monster. The deepest part discovered is within Mariana's trench, which lies at the bottom of the western Pacific Ocean. To give you an idea, it is about 120 times bigger than the Grand Canyon. The deepest part has been named 'Challenger Deep' after the first ship to hit the bottom. It was an estimated thirty-five thousand plus feet and a five hour descent.
