As unpleasant as it is, stress is arguably something that affects each and every one of us at some point in time throughout the duration of our lives.

I’ve dabbled in newspaper article writing here and there for a few years now. I’ll be honest and admit that I haven’t written one for a while, but if I were to add up all of the articles I’ve written over a span of about five years, it’s probably in the hundreds, which is wild. … More Here’s how to write a solid newspaper article
I’ve mentioned in a few previous posts that the supernatural realm is insanely interesting to me. Terrifying, but interesting. My interest in all things paranormal and/or supernatural was piqued a few years back when I started reading up on the topic, and ever since, I’ve been hooked. I’ve done a fair bit of reading on … More Do you believe in the supernatural realm?
For Christmas last year, my mom generously gifted me and Blaine an executive Costco membership to use once we are living in our home. Considering I eat as much as a rhinoceros, buying in bulk makes sense, so I was very happy to be gifted this. Blaine and I are (hopefully) going to be moving … More Run, don’t walk to get this dessert from Costco
Relationships as a concept are a highly subjective one. No two relationships look the same considering no two people are exactly the same, so approaching a relationship with an objective mindset isn’t going to work out well. While relationships are subjective in terms of their composition, there are things within relationships that are, in fact, … More The significance of understanding boundaries in relationships
I would consider myself to be someone who is not terribly sensitive to sunlight. I honestly think my skin’s tolerance of sunlight stems from working outdoors on the farm from a young age, and for quite a long time now; I’ve built up a bit of an immunity to the sun, if you will, so … More Wondering what Polymorphous Light Eruption is?

I firmly believe that brownies are just one of those things that provide an instant mood boost. Brownies are the shit; they’re slightly crunchy on the outside and on the edges, yet soft and gooey on the inside, enveloping your mouth in a chocolatey euphoria. At least, that’s how I enjoy my brownies. In case … More Read this to learn how to make the best homemade brownies
When I was first diagnosed with Lyme disease about a year ago, I learned a lot.

Without fail, I burn the first time I’m outside in the sunshine for the entire duration of the day while working on the farm.

Not too long ago, I had my bridal makeup trial, if you will, with the truly lovely gal who is doing my makeup, as well as the makeup for my bridal party, on the big day.

I firmly believe anyone who claims they don’t like ice cream is a damn liar. That may sound harsh, but it’s the truth. Even if you’re lactose intolerant, there’s always a reason to eat ice cream.

As most of us are arguably aware, today is Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day, if the title … More To all the moms, today and every day
I would wager that just about all of us, at one point or another, have fallen victim to the social construct of putting on a face or presenting a specific image that isn’t our own in order to appease others. It’s a sad and simultaneously harsh reality, but a reality nonetheless; we are obsessed with … More Letting go of the opinions of others
It’s an issue that has been relevant, arguably, since the beginning of time; women’s health and a lack of concern and priority is nothing new, although, I do believe the issue itself is worsening in terms of severity as of late, specifically referencing the looming potential of The Supreme Court overturning the Roe versus Wade … More The time is now to do better for women’s health
Hardships, among other negative occurrences in life, are inevitable. It’s a bit of a harsh reality, but its validity remains constant; life isn’t a walk in the park for the majority of us, and it is highly probable that we will encounter situations at times we rather wouldn’t. Hardships and obstacles can take many different … More Here is why we need to stop comparing our own hardships to others
I have started to dabble in a wee bit of English tutoring here and there as of late.

Anyone who considers themselves to be a foodie is arguably familiar with The Mandarin. In case you’re unaware of what The Mandarin is, simply put, it is a majestic, incredibly diverse food buffet that everyone residing on planet Earth should have the privilege of experiencing.

Please don’t judge me too harshly for the title of this post. I do enjoy a solid pun here and there, and when the opportunity presents itself, you can bet your sweetcheeks I’m gonna run with it.

Similar to the posts I wrote a while ago regarding interesting facts about the human body, I thought it might be entertaining to keep with this blog post topic idea and write posts depicting all sorts of different, random facts.

Allow me to stipulate that if you read the word ‘catastrophizing’ in the title and thought to yourself ‘the fuck?’ please don’t worry. It’s a rather grand and intimidating word, but I assure you it looks a hell of a lot more complicated than it really is. Catastrophizing, in my own words, is the act … More Are you guilty of catastrophizing?
I have no shame in admitting that I’m a bit of a perfume junkie; I always have been, and likely always will be.

Last week, I met up with a dear friend of mine for dinner. We had a wonderful time, as per usual, and I noticed while sitting across from her at the table that her face makeup looked incredible.

Tiramisu, if you have not yet had the privilege of tasting it, is life-changing. That may sound dramatic, but I assure you it isn’t. Naturally an Italian dessert (hence why it’s so damn tasty), it consists of delectable layers of ladyfinger cookies which are soaked in coffee, along with a divine mixture of mascarpone cheese, … More Here’s how to make the best homemade tiramisu
I’ve been sporting long hair for quite a few years now. I actually once went 11 years without getting a haircut in any form, including a trim; this was the result of a botched haircut in which I asked for a trim and left with hair above my shoulders. Allow me to stipulate that my … More Here are some tips for healthy, strong hair
I think it is fair to say that the majority of long-term romantic couples struggle to keep the concept of dating alive and well. And, really, it’s understandable; I believe it makes sense that in relationships that have been in existence for a few years the idea of dating becomes one of the past. We … More Read this for some date inspiration

Considering how fired up I get about the body and what it can do, sometimes I wonder whether or … More … and here are some more human body facts to pique your interest
The human body, as a concept, is fucking wild, if you ask me. Bodies are truly insane in terms of what they are capable of doing; our bodies tell us when we are in need of sleep; our bodies notify us when we are hungry or thirsty and then proceed to digest these same materials … More Here are some super random facts about the human body
I’ve always had a healthy appetite for water. Or perhaps I should say a solid thirst for it. Either way, I’ve never been shy when it comes to guzzling some good ‘ol H2O, and I do believe this stems from me doing a lot of outdoor, physical work on my family’s farm. When it’s above … More Here’s how to drink more water
We’ve all been on the receiving end of a lack of courtesy, and I think we can all agree that it isn’t exactly a pleasant experience. Discourtesy is a shitty personality trait, and it isn’t one anyone should strive to possess, if you ask me. I’m reluctant to admit it, but I firmly believe courtesy … More The importance of being courteous
Bread is just one of those things that, I believe, the majority of us can agree is as addictive as crack cocaine. I can’t say I’ve ever dabbled in crack cocaine, and I certainly don’t plan to, but from what I’ve heard about it, it’s rather addicting, hence why I’m comparing it to bread. I … More Here’s how to make the best homemade bread
