I tried meal delivery services…and here’s what I thought

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on March 8, 2023 | 1 Comment

I don’t normally make non-bookish posts, but this was something I really wanted to make a post about! Meal delivery service has been a GAME CHANGER for me. I enjoy cooking again, I love trying new recipes, I’ve experienced new foods, and I eat things I wouldn’t touch before. I discovered that I love zucchini, and I’m eating onions and pork chops (which is HUGE for me, because I’ve always hated any pork that wasn’t bacon or sausage!). I tried […]

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on January 18, 2023 | 0 Comments

I typically hate making New Year’s resolutions because it’s my belief that you should do them throughout the whole year, but I do still love them because it’s good motivation and something to look back on to see if I’ve accomplished my goals! Looking back at last year’s resolutions Here’s my post from last year! READING/BLOGGING RESOLUTIONS Read at least 75 books. NAILED IT!! I finished a whopping 103 books – I haven’t hit triple digits since 2013! I also […]

A few years ago I saw Cristina @ Girl in the Pages post about her 5 star reading drought (which was originally inspired by Lauren @ Bookmark Lit’s post here), and I thought it was such a great post, so I did one of my own!

How I Got Fit…and Have Stayed There

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on January 20, 2022 | 4 Comments

Back in 2018, I posted about My Journey Toward a Healthier Lifestyle. I had just hit the big 3-0 and had a huge wakeup call – I was the biggest I’d ever been in my life, and I was miserable. I started walking and eating better, and I lost 50 pounds in 9 months. I was doing great, and more importantly, feeling great! Fast forward to my dad being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2019 and his downward spiral in 2020, […]

It’s been so long since I posted an update! I stopped doing monthly hauls – I barely got any new books or merch last year, so there didn’t seem to be much point – and that was where I always gave my little life updates. I need to get back to doing that! My last life update was my post in November 2020 where I talked about where I’d been after I stopped posting in the last half of 2020, […]
