Like the nucleus of a cell, the kitchen is the heart of a house. Everything happens in the kitchen and one could even say life itself happens here too. Birthday celebrations, romantic at home dates, and more. In this pandemic, I’ve been spending almost 85% of my time in the kitchen: experimenting with new recipes,…
Read MoreThe team over at Chillhouse has been going non-stop since the launch of their Chill Tips back in 2020 – with two collections in the books and tons of cult-classic Chill Merch under their wings, it was only a matter of time before they dove into their own formulated products. Since oils are a staple…

Nail art is truly the bread and butter of the entire establishment, so it’s safe…
Read MoreNothing, and I really do mean nothing, relaxes me like my Gua Sha. This stone tool is small, slim, and feels just as good, if not better, than its cousin the crystal roller. Just a few minutes with this little gadget and the tension in my face melts away, relieving the clench in my jaw, the…
Read MoreWhile I’m a stickler for taking the time to mask multiple times a week (it’s for mental health, too), sometimes a girl just wants to be straight-up pampered. However, unlike those enviable few who can spend a fortune on every chemical peel and LED facial on the market, I like to time my treatments just…
Read MoreMoving apartments, rearranging furniture, and/or designing from scratch can be a messy experience — literally and figuratively. It is however some of the ways to make home feel like home, especially when having to stare at its walls for what seems like 24/7.

Read MoreAfter a bad mental health day, retreating to your bed with Netflix seems like the perfect antidote. But what if it’s doing more harm than good? While it’s necessary to wind down, it can be easy to fall into the habit of isolating for days at a time, making it harder to bounce back in…
Read MoreIt’s no secret that single use plastic is out and reusable bottles, straws, and snack bags are in, yet there are still an alarming number of people using plastic water bottles. To them I say: do you know that using plastic water bottles is bad for your insides too, as it releases small amounts of…
Read MoreIt’s no surprise that there are small businesses popping up everywhere these days, but how does one really start a business? How can you really take a hold of your passions and turn them into money? Well, I have always wondered the same thing – until now. I spoke to female three business owners I…
Read MoreI believe women inherently know their bodies. Though, medicine and magazines have subverted our trust in ourselves. Trust that we understand that all-knowing “gut” feeling that is our body speaking to us in a language we’ve lost. I had just turned 30, made the decision to make a baby, and had no vision of what…
Read MoreAfter moving to NYC about a year ago, I quickly realized that keeping track of my day-to-day finances was incredibly tricky, but also incredibly important. As a young woman in the workforce and living in one of the most expensive cities, I’m attempting to save for my future, while trying to build my ideal current…
Read MoreMamas know best, and my mom has been giving me budgeting tips since I even owned a piggy bank. Quarters are more valuable than pennies, but pennies still get put into the bank. No touching the bank unless it’s an emergency. We’ll thank them for this someday. All of the above. Turns out, my mom’s…
Read MoreIn a world where 9-5s rarely exist and many of us toss around the idea of becoming entrepreneurs, traditional business models are (kind of) out the window. Of course, being an entrepreneur in this ever evolving model can be stressful and taxing to take on, and some have opted to take the business world by…
Read MoreI was on my way to purchase one of Instagram’s cult-favorite beauty staples when a friend of mine said, “Doesn’t that stuff have Avobenzone? Aren’t you not supposed to put that on your skin?” Blown away by the fact that my trusty explore page could be so wrong, I decided to do a little digging…
Read MoreIn 2016, our dreams of electing our first woman president were tragically crushed when, in the biggest political upset of our time, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.

Read MoreWhile SPF has finally become a mainstream skincare staple, we’re not quite using it correctly. To give all day protection, SPF must be reapplied every two hours without fail – something I know most of us are guilty of skipping. Oftentimes, the reason cited for forgoing SPF reapplication is that it can’t be reapplied on…
