A Very Netflix Holiday: 2020 Edition

Here I was, tweeting away about a new Netflix holiday movie I was hate-watching, when my friend Mackenzie asked where my blog post was. I had completely forgotten that last year, I rated the streaming platform’s cheesy yuletide flicks. How could I?! I know today is Christmas Eve so it may seem like I dropped […]

Over Coffee: Week of Dec. 21

Happy Monday! This morning, as I was thinking about what sort of blog content I should focus on while I finally have a bit of a breather, I couldn’t nail down any particular topic. I kept feeling like there were a lot of “random” thoughts in my head that weren’t necessarily worthy of individual posts. […]

What Show Should You Binge Next?

So you just finished that epic show you got super into. Whether it took you one night or two months to finish it, you still have that familiar, incomplete feeling.

Podcasts That Will Make You Smile

I recently had my usual visit with my psychiatrist (not my therapist, but the doc that prescribes my medication). We talked about my problem with shallow breathing and panic attacks, and she asked what I’ve been doing each day to bring happiness into my life. I stared blankly at the Facetime screen. “You need to […]

What I’ve Learned From a Year in Therapy

I’ve been going to therapy once per week for about a year now. It’s the first time I’ve been consistent about it, and the first time I’ve developed a real connection with a therapist.  The other day, my dad asked me if my anxiety was better. I told him that’s not really how it works. […]

Wear a (Cute) Mask!

It’s time to face the facts: we’re going to be wearing masks for the foreseeable future. When it seemed like more of a temporary thing, buying stylish face coverings was far from the top of our priority lists. Now, though, we might as well make our protective masks fashionable, right? I’ve rounded up some cute […]
