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 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.

Read MoreWhile there are some people who can eat whatever they please without having a thing happen to their face, there are also people, like me, who break out at even the slightest of anything sugary touching their lips. Okay, so I don’t breakout if I look at a cookie, but it does only take ONE…
Read MoreWe live in this hyper-connected and instant gratification-driven world where it can be pretty easy to cave into the pressure to be everything to just about everyone.

Read MoreWater, tea, and everything in between. We are very thirsty creatures by nature (wink), and when constantly on-the-go, it is very easy to get into the habit of going through plastic water bottles faster than hair ties (honestly, how do they keep magically disappearing?!). But did you know that there are 1,500 water bottles consumed…
Read MoreIt’s no secret that we are all addicted to our phones. Social media aside, we depend on these little black boxes not only for communication, but for directions, the news, our calendars, finances…the list could go on. With how robust smartphones have become, it has grown increasingly difficult to do a digital detox given how…
Read MoreFor anyone reading who doesn’t know, I am in fact, a Los Angeles gal. But as much as I love living in New York, Los Angeles has some of the best places to zen out, eat healthily, and give your body that movement it craves, which is honestly, the lifestyle of preference over on the…
Read MoreFor as long as I can remember, I’ve had a certain type of sensitivity that felt different than the folks around me. Loud noises would catch me off guard and scare me to death, bright lights always felt too bright, thriller movies hit me harder than the other girls at the sleepover (after watching the…
Read MoreIn an age where perfection is sought to be the end-all-be-all, it’s incredibly refreshing to cross paths with someone who breaks through the cloud of noise with their sword of vulnerability. Instead of masking behind an aesthetically-pleasing feed or pretending to live a “struggle-free” life, this person uses their voice to share their insecurities and…

Read MoreI noticed my connection to the moon for the first time two years ago, on the night of the summer solstice. The sun had disappeared by the time my flight landed in Panama City Beach, and while my boyfriend and his brother-in-law drove me from the airport back to their family’s hotel, I stared at…
Read MoreNashville—the land of cowboy boots, honky-tonks, and music that’ll make you want to throw on a cowboy hat, pop back a few cold ones, and sing about a truck you never thought you wanted—can be viewed as a city that’s filled with Southern-style dishes and hole-in-the-wall bars with floors that are lined with last night’s…
Read MoreLast week, rumors flew when Miley Cyrus wiped out all her Instagram posts—including the ones of her boo Liam Hemsworth.
