spoonie adventures in books, beauty, & bullshit
When I got sick five years ago, my birthday became synonymous with hospitals. One year I had internal bleeding so bad, I was a millimeter’s measurement from urgently needing blood transfusions. Then there was the year I got a spinal tap and it took six jabs to finally get it right. Another year, I got […]
MoreThree weeks ago today I was crying unconsolably. I couldn’t accept or even fathom the idea of my five year relationship being over with a man whom I’d pictured forever with. I loved him with every brittle bone in my body. Every unreliable fiber of my being. All I wanted was him – I could’ve […]
MoreSome things never change. Six years ago I started my first blog to document initial thoughts about online dating after reeling from a breakup (that took longer to get over than the time we actually dated). I treated it like a science experiment – unbiased, painfully honest blog posts about every date and my day […]
MoreTwo days into my last semester of law school and I already have an exam (tonight), loads of reading in books that haven’t arrived yet (despite ordering them back in December), and an anxiety level of a 10/10. Before I delve into why I’m stressed, I’d like to point out that in spite of everything […]
More3LOL is what third-year law students fondly refer to the final year of law school. There’s a saying that the first year they scare you to death; the second year they work you to death; the third year they bore you to death. Thus far, I’d say this is pretty accurate. It’s the eve of […]
MoreI was inspired to write this post after watching a YouTube video about Amazon finds, so here it goes! When I first got my Amazon Prime account, now, nearly 10 years ago, it was mainly out of convenience to purchase books for school. Now, Amazon is like my holy grail for shopping. I price-compare everything, […]
MoreI’ve been dealing with IBS symptoms on and on again (I’ve never really had an “off” period) for the last several years. My reactions are sensitive enough that I get sick even from small amounts of food that I know irritate my stomach (e.g. skins on fruits and many vegetables, seeds, nuts, the list goes […]
More*Apologies in advance, this is a long post…but I promise I don’t use YOLO or #FBF anywhere in it.* Of course, all of my best blog posts come to mind in the moments before I’m about to fall asleep…this is my feeble attempt to jot down my thoughts on a topic that passes through my […]
MoreWell, that’s how the song goes, but this post is actually a my way at introducing myself to old and new readers that’ve stumbled upon my blog, 2LWithIt. So, hi, I’m Ana, a 25 year old California girl who stays up way too late (most of the time), loves beauty, books, and bullshit (good tagline, […]
MorePrior to developing a series of chronic illnesses, I didn’t really give much thought to listening to my body when I put it in over-drive. What do I mean by over-drive? Drinking too much, studying too late, eating crappy food for extended periods of time, running on very little sleep and/or food, etc. I was […]
