Coffee Date

Hi friends! Its been so long since I’d done a vlog I wanted to say a quick hello and share with you the things I’d tell you about if we were sitting down for coffee together. Although I would probably be having tea and wishing I was having coffee. Maybe I’ll just smell your cup and call it good. Winking smile

For more information about Project Life visit Becky Higgins’s blog here. I haven’t even started mine yet really, but I’m super passionate about it and can’t wait to share my pages once I create them!

I hope you have  a great weekend, and don’t forget to share in the comments what you’d want to chat about if we were having coffee together.

*Coffee Date* Vlog

All about my last few days at Instant Cash…

I am fully embracing this season of change and so excited for what’s to come and celebrating the little moments along the way. Feeling more like my old self again is the greatest feeling. And maybe its not the old Shaina I’ve found, maybe it’s the Shaina I’m supposed to be…. the Shaina I am becoming.

Linking up with Alissa from Rags to Stitches again this week for coffee date. Did you do a vlog or post this week? Make sure to add your link so I can come hang out with you today for coffee too. I love to get to know you all better.

*Coffee Date*

Brought to you by Firmoo.com!

If we were having coffee together today I would probably be wearing one of my new pairs of glasses. And I would want to tell you all about them and the cool online company I got them from! I had heard about this online glasses shop from a couple different bloggers and was very excited to give them a try and share with all of you. I had such a hard time picking out which ones I wanted that I took advantage of their “first pair free” deal got 2 pairs! More details on that later for you all to give them a try too. Winking smile

Here are my 2 pairs and the Instagrams I took the days they came in the mail. I really can’t pick which ones I like the best.

Wanna get your own pair for just the cost of shipping? Its super easy. The only hard part will be picking which pair you want! They have sunglasses too.

  1. Head over to Firmoo.com and browse the frame selection. You can even upload a picture of yourself and do a virtual try-on.
  2. Once you have your pair picked out click on the “New customer? Get your first pair free now.” under the picture.
  3. Share using one of the options available(Twitter, Facebook, or email).
  4. Wait for your email with your code and further instructions. You’ll only pay for shipping and any extras you want added, like anti-glare for example. I paid $9.90!! Seriously.

I got mine a week after I ordered and they came with a hard case, a soft case and a cleaning cloth. They are terrific quality are exactly my prescription. I have loved being able to pick which glasses to wear each day like I would pick out a shirt. I know I’ll be adding to my collection with the help of Firmoo.com.

Coffee Date

If we were sitting down to have coffee together I would tell you…
That I tried to film a vlog this morning, and did a few takes and tried to talk about what’s on my heart this morning, but after each little stop and start I kept thinking… “No one cares, Shaina. No one wants to hear about how overwhelmed you are with 2 jobs and too much to keep track of or about your audit and the expectations of your boss. No one wants to hear you complain.” I couldn’t even smile to say good morning…

Maybe I should have more coffee first before I try to vlog. What I really should have done is recorded yesterday like I’ve always done before. But I woke up yesterday morning from a not very nice dream that I had a hard time shaking. I hate that part of remembering my dreams so vividly. They tend to stick with me, and not in a good way. I ended up pulling the cloud with me through the day. So yesterday’s vlog wouldn’t have been any better.

So I’ll just write today.

If we were sitting down to have coffee together I would tell you…
I have been having a hard time lately with blogging. After being sick with Norovirus and not blogging that whole week I feel like I’ve stalled in my writing and my concept for this space. I want the people who visit here to read my words to find a refreshing positive take on everyday life. I want to inspire you all to celebrate the little things and value them just as much as the big things. But its really hard to inspire and encourage others when I’m struggling with it myself. The days and weeks are going by in a blur lately and I just want to stop and breathe and sit in the day and savor life for a moment. I feel really heavy when I don’t get a chance to do that. And that just leads to the negativity I feel today and the reason I couldn’t make a vlog. I didn’t want to look at my face and not see the usual sparkle in my eyes.

I’m having a hard time. And an even harder time admitting it.

But next week once the audit at work is over and life moves on hopefully I’ll be able to feel more like myself and get back to where I want to be. The stress and pressure of it is so hard for me to deal with.

If we were sitting down to have coffee together I would ask you…
What do you do to deal with stress? Do you have any advice for me or suggestions for how I could leave work at work and not let it effect the rest of my everyday? I just get really invested in things and want to do my best that I give myself anxiety over all the “what if’s.” I’d love your help.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on remembering to celebrate the everyday. Is it something you have to work at too?

If we were sitting down to have coffee together what would you want to talk about? What’s on your heart today?

*Coffee Date* Friday

Hello friends! Its time for another coffee date vlog today. So grab your cup of coffee (or whatever you’re drinking this morning), hit play and listen to what’s on my heart today. I tweeted Alissa of Rags to Stitches who I link up with for coffee date to see if there was a theme for this week, but she said to just talk about what’s been on my heart. So here it is…something Chris and I are doing together that I’m really excited about.

What is on your heart today?

Coffee Date Friday

Hello Friends! I can’t believe its already Friday again…this week went by so fast! But I’m excited to be linking up with Rags to Stitches for Coffee Date again this week. My plan is to try and do a new coffee date vlog every other Friday. Which means I film them on Thursday. But I didn’t really have myself together enough to do it Thursday morning, but I still tried while I was at work. Glad to join you all for coffee today.

So here is my second vlog ever. I did a lot of rambling, and probably tried to talk about too many things after worrying that I didn’t have anything to talk about. Oh well…enjoy!

Thoughts on my second vlog: I really need to write down some ideas ahead of time, cuz this was pretty ridiculous! Smile with tongue out  But this is pretty much the real me: I laugh a lot, I exaggerate, I text my mom a ton, I really do love my new job and I think its pretty awesome that I have enough free time at my current job to do a vlog! And then blog the post for it too.

So, what kind of coffee do you drink?
Do you have any questions for me that I could answer next time?

Coffee Date Friday

Alissa from Rags to Stitches has been doing Friday Coffee Dates for awhile and recently started making them vlogs. I love the idea of seeing someone and hearing their voice and really getting to know the person behind the blog better this way. So I thought I would link up this week and decided to film my very first vlog!!

Join me for coffee and hear 5 things you may not know about me.



So, thoughts on my very first vlog: I couldn’t stop smiling through the whole thing cuz it felt strange just talking to the computer. I wish the quality was better, but I’m assuming that’s just my webcam. Tips and tricks on that would be much appreciated. Did you get the Gilly reference? After I was finished I was kind of pleasantly excited to post and share. Maybe vlogging will appear some more here in this space. 

So how was your week?
If we were having coffee together what would you share with me?
