Depending on the severity of it, anxiety can be an incredibly debilitating condition to live with. It has the ability to interfere with everyday life, decisions, responsibilities and relationships, and over time, it can feel rather consuming.

I’ve often said that doing something positive for someone other than ourselves can evoke feelings of happiness. I’ve never really understood why this is, but I can personally attest to this realization, as I’m sure many other people can, too. But, according to an article from The Good News Network, there might be a scientific … More Do good, feel good
I recently finished watching The Witcher on Netflix, and because of the gaping void the absence of this show has left in my life, I had to figure out which show to begin next.

I wrote a post a little while ago discussing a hair serum I purchased in an attempt to tame my unruly flyaways.

But, I’m pleased to share that I’ve come across another delightfully effective product … More This is how to get rid of those pesky flyaways for good
Similar to my post the other day listing what Rotten Tomatoes deemed as the best flicks of the former year, I thought I would write a post regarding the best books of 2019. Books, to me, are even more subjective than movies are, so as I stated in the best movies post, keep in mind … More The best books of 2019
As I mentioned the other day, I recently watched the first season of Netflix’s The Witcher. As a result of my significant appreciation for this series, and furthermore for the main character, Geralt of Rivia, I thought I would write a post about Henry Cavill, the man to thank for bringing Geralt to life on the big … More Profile: Henry Cavill
Movies are something that have relevance to almost everyone. Regardless of our genre preferences, movies have the ability to draw parallels between us and create unification, and we most certainly have our favourites.

There’s been much debate over the years as to whether or not drinking coffee can be beneficial for those who consume it.

There is … More Good news, coffee lovers; java can help with weight loss
As we’re all aware, Australia is in a complete and utter state of emergency right now. Raging, uncontrollable wildfires are sweeping the continent, destroying animals and vegetation in its path, leaving behind nothing but charred remains and destruction. These fires have been burning since September, and while recent rains have provided some relief to the … More Thank you, volunteer firefighters
It’s hard to believe that we as a society have made any sort of advancement in terms of providing aid to innocent children, considering the rather bleak state of the world. But, I am pleased to report that in the past two decades, over 220 million children have been rescued from forced labour, marriage and … More Believe it or not, the world is progressing in terms of helping children

This time, though, there’s tequila involved, … More Turning tequila into … straws?
Salad, from my own observations, has a bad reputation. When most of us hear the term ‘salad,’ our thoughts automatically associate it with being bland, boring, and certainly not something we typically have a hankering for. I feel obligated to stick up for salads a little bit, though. I personally love salad, and I’m not … More Here’s how to spruce up your salad
Game of Thrones fans, listen up; there’s a new series in town, and it’s called The Witcher. By no means am I attempting to correlate a relationship between Game of Thrones and The Witcher, because that would simply be incorrect. Both series abide by entirely different storylines and characters, but I suppose one could compare them in terms … More Have you watched The Witcher?
Rolls-Royce is a name that is arguably synonymous with cars. Pretty snazzy cars, to be exact. While we’re pretty familiar with Rolls-Royce vehicles, I would imagine most of us haven’t heard of an aircraft from the company. That is, we likely haven’t heard of it until now. Rolls-Royce has “unveiled its first all-electric plane—and they … More Rolls-Royce debuts its all-electric aircraft

We’ve arguably all seen some of these products, since there are more and more becoming available, but I doubt you’ve encountered grain-based bowls as a means to cut down on … More Move over, plastic plates; wheat bowls are here
Frostbite, as we all know, is no joke. Frostbite occurs when the skin and underlying tissue becomes frozen, typically affecting the fingers, toes, ears, nose, chin and cheeks. When someone has frostbite, the skin becomes extremely cold and red, and soon turns numb, firm and pale. I would imagine anyone who has ever experienced frostbite … More Say goodbye to frostbite with this innovative spray
Christmas trees, for many of us, are an integral component of the holiday season. They represent not only Christmas itself, but further, they’re symbolic of togetherness as they tend to represent the gatherings that occur around the tree on Christmas morning. As wonderful as Christmas trees are, once the holiday season has come to an … More Here’s how to re-purpose your Christmas tree
Well, here we are facing another year, putting the previous behind us.

We live in a world that is very exterior-focused. By that, I’m referring to how socially constructed standards of appearances have pushed themselves so strongly into our consciousnesses that how we look and act has become integral components of how we live our daily lives.

I would argue that just about every couple on planet earth has found themselves face-to-face with the age-old dilemma of their partner hogging the blankets.

Christmas songs, for many people, are a touchy subject, I would say. That might sound a little odd outright, but hear me out. Christmas music is absolutely an essential component to the holiday, but I would argue a lot of us have mixed feelings about it depending on how early we start hearing these songs, … More My top Christmas songs
I would argue most people are somewhat torn regarding New Years resolutions.
