Where did Alyssa go?

Hi guys!!

I am glad to be back on my blog. I have missed it so dearly. And I want to thank everyone for being patient with me. I have a lot to share.

I got a new job!! It is in the jewelry business. If you're from the area that I am in, you hear the commercial to it a thousand time a day on the radio. I am your new friend in the diamond business. Everyone that I work with is so kind to me and we all have similar personalities so it's a great blend of people to work with. My dress code is fabulous because I get to dress all nice and fancy!

Speaking about fashion, I am building my closet up again. It has been a disaster lately. I had a lot of clothes that I did not wear at all. There was so much wasted space built up and I couldn't fit anything new. I actually went and I sold a bag full of Free People clothes. Shocking because my FP collection is slowly dying whereas once it looked like a Free People mini store. I have been following two other brands that fit my current style: Vince and Joie. Both of them are great brands that you will find at Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman Marcus. I have been buying used because sometimes it tends to get a little bit pricey. That's what I love about resell stores. I save hundreds. And the resell value is fantastic! I have noticed that the Free People resell value is extremely low.

On to another topic, I haven't been taking care of myself as well as I should. With training for a new job, taking care of Tucker, and dealing with the end of the semester, I have been so busy. I have been shopping at Trader Joe's and I have been meal prepping. I don't think you can really buy unhealthy at Trader Joe's. But sometimes when I am out of meal prep dishes for a week, I turn to like fast food. Especially on weekends, we tend to eat out a lot. Breakfast has been turning into the most unhealthy meal of the day. Sometimes you gotta treat yourself with chicken fried steak. But not every morning. I was able today to go to the gym, but it was the first time in about a month or so.

Allergies. I don't want to get started on them. They have been horrendous lately. I have been dealing with the worst allergies, especially at night. I have been drinking a lot of tea with local honey. The local honey does help, but only for a little bit. If anyone has any ideas on what to do about allergies, help me.

The last thing I wanted to talk about is Tucker!!!! He is now 9 months old! He is such a good boy. He is so sweet. He has slept with us the past couple days and he hasn't gotten off the bed or had an accident in our bed, which are the reasons why he stopped sleeping with us before. He is a lot bigger and he is shedding, which is probably why my allergies are so bad.

Well, I definitely hope to get posting more on here. I have a bunch of OOTD ideas too! Thanks for waiting for me to get back and thank you for taking your time to read this!!!
