After my amazing experience getting my daith pierced, it’s perhaps no surprise that I’m now itching to get some more piercings! Constellation piercings anyone?!

I tend to get pretty homesick living 3000 miles away from family so with my parents coming to visit in October, I thought it would be nice to get a matching piercing with my momma bear.

She’s my best friend and I would love to have some body art that can remind me of her whenever I look in the mirror.

I’ve convinced her to get another piercing with me, and even though she can’t go full-blown constellation piercing because of her job, we can certainly get some unique work done together that won’t be too conspicuous.

Check out these constellation piercing beauties I’ve been able to find on Pinterest… Aren’t they just to die for?! I love the tiny little studs, but then again those chunky earrings look gorgeous too!

Hi all! I’m SO excited to give ya’ll an update on how my daith piercing for migraine relief has been coming along!

This past month has honestly been a small miracle for me and my healing process. The months leading up to getting my piercing were terrible. I had migraines nearly every day and severe headaches on the days it wasn’t a full-blown migraine.

So without further ado… I’d love to let my fellow migraineurs know how it’s been going for me. Hopefully, it inspires you to give the daith piercing a shot at relieving your migraine.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but getting (and maintaining) traffic to your blog is probably one of the toughest aspects of blogging, amiright ladies and gents?

It sucks sitting down day after day to create great content for your readers… Only to realize that you don’t actually have ANY readers at all.

Are you in this stage? Getting a handful of viewers in traffic to your blog? Or maybe you have some great days followed by days with no viewers at all?

Yikes.

Well, I’ve got great news for you!

I’ve always loved traveling (I’ve been adding to my Ultimate World Travel Bucket List since I was a girl) but life has never really given me the chance to truly explore the world. In college, I was on the pre-med track and couldn’t spare the time or mental bandwidth. I jumped into my Master’s program before I had even finished my undergraduate degree and then moved across the country and started my big-girl life shortly after finishing my Master’s.

But enough is enough!

Shout out to Parks and Recreation fans, I hope you’ll catch the reference 😉 If you read my recent posts, you know I’ve had a pretty crappy summer in terms of migraines so I wanted today’s post to be about self-care. Even if you don’t live with a chronic disorder such as migraine, self-care works wonders for stress, self-image, interpersonal relationships, and overall happiness. Just think of Ben Wyatt and how emotional and happy his treat yo’ self purchase made him when he was feeling bummed out.

I hate my job.

Did you cringe when you read that title?

Did your heart sink a little because deep down inside, you know you’re in the same boat? Let’s be honest… lots of people our age chose the “wrong” career… or just chose whatever because they didn’t (and STILL don’t) know what they would like to do.

Unfortunately, even when you’re on a pretty solid path, your needs and desires can change in a direction that may not be the “safest” route. At this point, I would challenge you to face your fears and explore those new ideas. You owe yourself long-term happiness!

Hi all, I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA a while… I’ve had a most dreadful summer! Moving, severe heat waves, work schedule changes, and family coming into town all contributed to a nearly chronic migraine since I got back from my trip to Miami mid-May. Dobby has done an amazing job of notifying me of oncoming attacks so I can take my medications, and also providing emotional support during painful episodes, but even so, migraines suck.

Needless to say, I’ve been pretty desperate for any relief I can find!

Thanks to amazing bloggers like A Magical Mess and Birds and Lilies sharing their stories about getting a daith piercing for migraine relief with the world, I decided to take the leap of faith and get myself a daith piercing to see if it’ll help my migraines like it did theirs.

I just left the tattoo and piercing parlor a few hours ago and will be documenting my migraine and daith piercing journey across the coming months and years for those of you considering taking the plunge and getting pierced.
