Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! We are just six short days away from Spring Break, but there's just one little thing standing in our way: finals. That's right! It's finally finals week, which probably means lots of coffee, studying, and sleepless nights. So often we decide to pull all night study sessions instead of getting a… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Sleep On It

Wellness Wednesday: Here’s to a Healthy Back
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! This week has been quite a whirlwind filled with lots of sitting, standing, walking, and heavy lifting. Actually, now that I think about it, there probably isn't a day that goes by when my students and I aren't sitting for long periods of time or lugging around ridiculously heavy and… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Here’s to a Healthy Back
Wellness Wednesday: Goodnight, Moon
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! I have always been in love with sleeping. I honestly can't imagine anything more enjoyable than curling up in my big bed, wrapping myself in the coziest blanket, and drifting off into the peaceful night. The thing is, however, it takes me forever to get there, and counting sheep just doesn't… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Goodnight, Moon
Wellness Wednesday: When I Feel Anxious…
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! Despite my relatively even-keeled, chill, and positive personality, I can surprisingly be a rather anxious person. While never debilitating or persistent, my anxiety can sometimes flair up when I have to present a major project, sit for an exam, drive behind a slow driver, or wait for a crush to respond to a… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: When I Feel Anxious…
Wellness Wednesday: Avocado Salad
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! How are we feeling at this midway point of the week and the first day of February (can you believe it)? I've been feeling so heavy lately--partly because of all that's been going on in the world and partly because of all the junk I've been consuming. Actually, the two are… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Avocado Salad
Wellness Wednesday: Self-Care for Activists
In less than one week since the inauguration, Trump has taken action to repeal the Affordable Care Act, defund Planned Parenthood and sanctuary cities, build a wall along the US-Mexico border, and approve the controversial Dakota Access and Keystone Pipelines. In the wake of one of the largest protests in recent history, Trump's decisions serve… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Self-Care for Activists
Wellness Wednesday: Essential Oils
Did you know our sense of smell is tied most closely to our memories? Or that it's our most powerful sense? Better yet, did you know there is a link between smell and our overall health? Smelling essential oils, in particular, have great benefits that go beyond smelling something pleasant when we get a whiff of… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Essential Oils
Wellness Wednesday: A Jar of Hearts
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends. One of the things I love about the start of a new year is all of the energy and excitement this fresh start brings to so many. New beginnings are awesome because they provide a great opportunity to evaluate our lives, get focused, and let go of what may have weighed… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: A Jar of Hearts
Wellness Wednesday: Envision Your Life
Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! Apologies for the late post, but better late than never, right? With just three days left of 2016, it's time to start goal-setting and resolution-making. If you've been following the Kermit Says... Instagram page (@kermitsays1), you know I've been obsessing over Lara Casey's novel and powersheets, hoping she'll shed some much-needed… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Envision Your Life
Wellness Wednesday: Quench Your Thirst!
I know so many people who avoid drinking water like it's the plague. In fact, NPR reports that "one-quarter of a broad cross-section of children ages 6 to 19 apparently don't drink any water as part of their fluid intake." I've heard so many excuses as to why: It's too cold. It's too bland. I… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Quench Your Thirst!
