About Me

I’m Shante’… a 25 year old just living life to its’ fullest, to the best of my abilities. I’m a Jersey girl at heart, previously a RN at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for 3yrs, now a travel Nurse in the huge state of California (and this is only the beginning!). My day-to-day life consists of taking care of babies, working out, eating, and partying. Between trying to live the ‘YOLO’ life, exercising, and working (my 3 main priorities)… oh and being a Mom to my dog Carson, I’ve pretty much forgotten what the word “sleep” is. But hey! “Do it while your young” right?!


As far as I go…

  • I am a YOLO-er. What does that mean?? That means I do whatever the F I want basically whenever I want! Life is too short not to enjoy it. If it means no sleep, then so be it! I have to say, it's been fun living this type of life. It's brought along many laughs & funny/crazy things to talk about. You will see.
  • I’m addicted to Zumba. I would do Zumba 24hrs a day, 7 days a week if I could. I’ve done a couple zumba-thons and it still never gets old. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t be around today if it weren’t for joining Philly Dance Fitness 3yrs back (but that’s a whole blog post in itself; will post one day). So if you have a zumba questions…I’m your girl!
  • I'm obsessed with giraffes. Don't ask why, no special reason... just because. I think they are gorgeous and I love everything about them. I've been collecting giraffes since I was 8yrs old. To this day, I have over 150 giraffes. All different kinds, shapes, & sizes, including jewelry. I even have a full length giraffe tattoo on my side that I got done in South Africa a couple years back! Call me crazy, but whatever. 
  • I love to do my nails and of course get them done as well. I’m a girly girl at heart, so anything of that nature interests me. Nails, hair, makeup, shopping, roses, candles, cards…yea…
  • I have also started living a healthier lifestyle by clean eating and working out on a consistent basis. It has been a learning experience/drastic change, but it’s been fun & has definitely had a positive impact on my body inside and out! And I’m excited to share this experience with you.
  • I'm obsessed with Froyo! I don't know where it's been all my life, but I'm glad it's here now! Just thinking about Froyo and all the toppings makes me excited. If you don't know what Froyo is (your a loser) don't worry..there WILL be a post on that! It deserves a whole one by itself.
  • I love to travel. You will see I have been to many different places this past year & don't plan on stopping. Yea, it's very pricey to travel so much, but that's why I work! I hope you find my vacations just as crazy-wild-fun & interesting as I did :)
  • I also want to be a model, not runway, just commercial (because I am too short & thick lol). That's been a dream/goal of mine that I am passively working toward. I've had 1 photo-shoot, but that's about it. We'll talk more about that later!
  • I am a DIY-er. You will see I am very frugal when it comes to money…so the cheaper way out, especially if I can make it myself, is the way I go. And believe it or not, the things I make come out nice! I’m always proud (for the most part).
  • And lost but not least...dating. Hmm..don't know where to start with this one, but dating has been a pretty big part of my life this past year or so. Has its' ups & downs but always a story! Alwaysss! Guys never seem to fail me haha (or my friends in that case). So stay tuned for this fun & crazy dating life of mine :)

So yea… pretty much the last 3 years I’ve been living the life. I started living by the answer, “…because why not?” So many people think I’m crazy or ask me why I do some of the things I do, and I say, “…because why not?” Some call it my “quarter-life crisis”, and you know what? That may be true, but at least it’s fun! You only live once, so why not live it up while you can. 25 has been the best year of my life – I wouldn’t change it for the world! I live and I learn. If something goes wrong, I just learn from it and change it the next time around. Ultimately, it’s about what makes you happy & doing just that!

So I invite you to join me in this crazy fun adventure I call life! With my social life, vacations, nursing experience, crafts, & lack of sleep - I'm sure to please! You may laugh, worry (Mom), smile, learn something & even be inspired (I hope). My filter will be limited, so I apologize in advance! Feel free to contact me with any questions or even for advice. I’d be happy to help! Hey - that’s partially what I’m here for!


XOXO
