My favorite thing about fall is that it’s the perfect time to schedule mandatory slow-down days. Everyone thinks summer is the time to sit around all day and do nothing (and I mean, it totally can be), but something about the cooler, crisp days of fall and the shorter days just gives off those cozy, […]
I’m just gonna say it – I don’t usually sit down and write out my intentions for a new season. If you’re the type of person to do that, I applaud you for being so organized and put together. That said, I want to be that type of person. Maybe then, I can enter and […]
Ah yes, dopamine menus; the latest wellness trend to hit social media. Shockingly though, dopamine menus are actually pretty dang useful. If you haven’t heard of a dopamine menu, I’m about to shed some light on what that is and how to make one for yourself. Plus, I’ll give you tons of great (imo) inspiration […]
So there I was, sitting in my bedroom in my parent’s house, at 2 a.m. crying over the saaaame boy I’d been crying over for the past several years, dreading going to my part-time job at the frozen yogurt shop later that day, losing sleep and feeling like I’d be better off just not existing. […]
Do you ever feel like your morning is just one chaotic moment after the next, until you find yourself sitting in your car, coffee spilled down your shirt and ready to fast forward the whole day until 6 o’clock in the evening? ‘Cause, same. Mornings are hard enough without feeling overwhelmed before you even leave […]
When I first got my little feral kitten (who we rescued after she nearly drowned by falling in a swimming pool) she fit in the palm of my hand. Yesterday, I looked at her and realized… holy cow. WHEN did she get so HUGE. I couldn’t help but feel like a parent talking about “how […]
When I tell you I thought I was losing my gosh-dang mind, friend, I mean it. The constant yap-yap-yapping of the dogs (both mine and the neighbor’s), the messy kitchen countertop covered in coffee grounds (because coffee is exactly what I should be drinking when I’m already anxious, right?), and of course the self-induced overwhelm […]
What does burnout look like to you? Does it usually involve bursting into tears at inopportune moments over something totally random? Or maybe it looks like another day spent lying in bed staring up at the ceiling because you can’t convince yourself to roll out of bed. Or, it could even manifest itself as a […]
Okay, tell me if this sounds like you. You wake up, hit snooze like 5 times, rush out of bed, grab a granola bar or scarf down a bowl of cereal, pour your cup of coffee in a to-go cup, and dive bedhead first into your day of to-do lists and adult responsibilities. If that […]
So it’s finally fall, and you’re so excited for all the autumn vibes. Gilmore Girls, cozy movie nights, the leaves changing color, apple cider, fuzzy socks, warm flannels and leggings, football games (which means SNACKS)… you’re ready to embrace it all! But like all things in life, the beautiful autumn season comes with its own […]
