Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! Yesterday marked ten straight days of guided meditation with the mindfulness app, Headspace. Unfortunately, ten days of Headspace also means my free trial is up. Great! Now how am I supposed to find clarity and focus and also reduce my stress and anxiety (sarcasm)? While I think of new, free ways… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Getting Headspace

Tuesday Tunesday: Summertime Madness
Happy Tunesday, friends! Can you believe it's already August??? Where did the summer, no, where did the year go??? It seems like just yesterday, I was ringing in a new year, and now we're eight months in with just four to go. It's insane! Ferris Bueller was right-- Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Summertime Madness
Friday Findings
Happy Friday, friends! How is it possible that time can feel like it's both dragging along and flying by? I've been working at my old school in Massachusettes since late June, and here we are with just one week left before I head back home to Chicago. I honestly never thought I'd see the finish… Continue reading Friday Findings
Thoughtful Thursday: Being Present is a Present, a Reflection and Life Update
Happy Thursday, friends! Apologies for the late post, but I didn't know how to say what I wanted to say without being long-winded. That was a mountain I didn't quite conquer, so bear with me. I don't know much, but what I do know now is that for the first time in my entire adult… Continue reading Thoughtful Thursday: Being Present is a Present, a Reflection and Life Update
Wellness Wednesday: Build Your Tribe
On a recently unusually cold morning in Massachusettes, I started the day like I typically do, listening to Pandora Radio. Scrolling through my 99 stations (of which I honestly only listen to like, 10), I stumbled upon and selected 90s R&B. After suffering through a series of commercials, I heard a familiar beat with synthesizers,… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Build Your Tribe
Tuesday Tunesday: Somewhere I Belong
Since starting this blog, one of my main goals was to address mental health, and I've been really candid about sharing my own ups and downs, much of which started, unsurprisingly, when I began my freshman year of high school (what is it about that age???). I was experiencing so much and wasn't quite sure… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Somewhere I Belong
Motivational Monday: Embrace the New Moon and Celebrate New Beginnings
Happy Monday, friends! It has been exactly 101 days since my last post, and while I never intended to take a break, particularly one this long, I need you to know that it was needed in a way I didn't realize or expect. And it's probably no surprise that my return is one day after… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Embrace the New Moon and Celebrate New Beginnings
Kermit’s Cup of Tea: Friday Findings
What do you do when you have a ton of work to do but are totally and disgustingly sick? Power through--snot-nosed, congested, sore throat and all. I'm a mess right now and would definitely do a cartwheel to celebrate Friday's arrival if I could! So instead of the cartwheel, let's celebrate with a few of… Continue reading Kermit’s Cup of Tea: Friday Findings
Kermit Reads: The Sun is Also a Star Review
I was so in love with Nicola Yoon's debut novel, Everything, Everything, reviewed last week, that after hearing that her most recent novel, The Sun is Also a Star was even better, I knew I needed to read it, and so I did. I gave up shopping for Lent, so instead of purchasing my own copy, I stopped… Continue reading Kermit Reads: The Sun is Also a Star Review
Wellness Wednesday: Black Girl in Om
A few weeks ago, I shared a list of my favorite podcasts and destination spots. Not too long after that post, a friend of mine pointed me towards another podcast, and I've been addicted ever since! Black Girl in Om is a new(ish) podcast and online publication dedicated to promoting wellness and building community and… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Black Girl in Om
