About Me

My name is Holly. I am 26 years old, and I live in Minneapolis, MN, near the wonderful Lake Calhoun with my amazingly patient husband, Jared, and our two adorable kitties I may be a little obsessed with.
 
I am one of the most average people I know - not average in a bad way, and definitely not average in the same sense as typical, since I'm more of a 60-year-old trapped in a 26-year-old body that still looks 17, and I don't think that represents my age group very well. Average as in I possess a few talents and am okay at most things, but I am not that enviable "good at everything" girl.

I am an introvert who too often experiences social anxiety. I love everything fitness-related, but that love is matched by a passion for all all things food (except the actual cooking of the food), and I am constantly fighting to find a balance in being as healthy as possible while still enjoying life's delicious pleasures. I love a wide variety of movies, TV shows, music and books, and I am a sucker for celebrity gossip yet fascinated by our culture's obsession with it. I love the concept of beauty and fashion, but Sephora terrifies me, and I will never understand the differences among primer, concealer and foundation, or why any pants other than yoga pants have to exist. Some days I think I know what I'm doing and I am headed in the right direction, but other days I feel like I was just dropped onto a random planet where I don't understand what anyone is saying or doing. My family, friends and church are the most important things in the world to me, but I still find myself getting overwhelmed by day-to-day worries of all the little things that eventually won't matter. I am genuinely happy and blessed but, like most people, sometimes let myself forget that.


I am average. Simply vanilla. But I am learning to love that, and as I do, here you will find not only the struggles, triumphs and thoughts of an average twenty-something trying to find her way, but also tips and advice from others who have undergone or are still working through this process. After all, does it ever really end?
