Co-living during the pandemic

The pandemic has been a scary unknown, but one thing we do know is that we’re supposed to stay away from other people in order to stop the spread of the virus. This becomes a bit more difficult when you live in a home with 19 roommates.

Unpopular opinion: Men need the chase

When I was younger, in my teens and 20s, I was a tomboy and stark feminist. No man was allowed to open the door for me or carry my luggage or pay for my dinner. What, you think I can’t do it myself! Of course I can! I had a lot to prove.

The hardest thing about divorce

Divorce is such a nasty word. People run away from it. People going through divorces are shunned, like lepers, because no one knows what to say, because no one wants to be around that kind of negativity, because divorce is a failure of love, it’s broken promises, it’s broken hearts.

A few months ago I noticed an interesting thing - only bloggers wear crop tops to work out. If you go to a sponsored blogger workout class, 95%+ of the girls there will be wearing a crop top, but in a normal fitness class, there may be one or two people max. "Normal" people always cover up.

My fave Fall OTS top

Life is a whirlwind lately, but in a good way. I started my own business in January and, I don't want to jinx it, but it's finally taking off.
