Recently, my worm friends (family) have been doing rather well, and I've been getting some questions about where I got my supplies and how I started. I'm going to link some of the products that have worked for me and to go over some basic info to know how to get rolling. Strap on your … Continue reading a beginner’s guide to composting (a.k.a. worm farm)
As a girl who has consumed anti-MLM content for YEARS, I even shocked myself when I decided to join a network marketing company. Fortunately for me, not all network marketing companies are created equal. I'm going to write this in list form so that it's easy to read and follow along. Here goes: I fell … Continue reading why I chose to join Young Living
Before I get started, however, I want to dedicate this post to someone I've never met before but who has nevertheless changed my life forever. I want to honor the memory of Lee MacMillan, a "van life" social media influencer whose travel vlogs I've watched for years. She actually ended up moving to Santa Barbara, … Continue reading mental health awareness month challenge
I feel uneasy writing or posting things that aren't centered around this basic fact: black Americans are being disproportionately broken by the way things are. I am not going to pretend like I know anything about the real impact the events of recent history have made on my fellow countrymen. I am uncomfortably but undoubtedly … Continue reading Daunte Wright and my thesis on American race relations
As always, I need some guidance moving forward with this blog. I am immensely proud of the work I've published so far and the strides I've made thanks to this most therapeutic of practices, but I want to continue to excite and engage my readership. Feel free to suggest anything!

Is that a word? I hope so. Anyway, I suddenly and unexpectedly had to learn at 22 that … Continue reading some very random skincare tips from an adult acne pro
As I round out my second victory lap of undergrad, I have become very acclimatized to generalized, constant anxiety. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in 2018 after battling it for a few years without any type of outside aid, and it had reached a point of being crippling. I was unable to leave … Continue reading easy ways that i self-soothe
Someone in my family is trying to start his or her own small business. I know many people are trying to do the same, but this person is committed to creating a company that would help the surrounding community by employing people who are in need of work who may not be able to find … Continue reading please help me help someone i love
Historically, I haven't been one to pursue outdoor activities. I'm much more of a be-stationary-in-one-place-for-hours-on-end type gal. I love reading a good book and drinking good coffee. I'm a student, so I'm required to be indoors doing work for the majority of my life. It wasn't until fall of 2020 that I realized how restorative … Continue reading nature talk
I'm just going to say it -- I'm an Etsy fiend. FIEND. I love supporting small artists/business, and I especially love getting custom stuff ordered. Today, however, I'm just going to focus on black owned Etsy shops I absolutely drool over. This one I almost don't even want to divulge it's so good. I kinda … Continue reading black owned businesses I obsess over
