Practicing Patience in a Fast Paced World

If you`ve been following my Insta stories, you know that I am really, really tired of the snow. For the duration of February, it has been snowing 1-3 times a week anywhere from 1-13 inches in depth. I live at the bottom of a long steep driveway that has to be shoveled everytime it snows or else the driveway becomes extremely icy and dangerous. My least favorite part of having any icy driveway is that I have to park my car up at the top of the driveway or else my car literally gets stuck at the bottom and I can’t go anywhere!

Foreo vs. Clarisonic

About a month ago, I decided to drop my money on the Foreo LUNA Mini 2 facial cleansing device. This was a very hard decision for me because the device is priced at $140 and I am very diligent about how I spend my money. The Foreo is actually not my first cleaning brush, I’ve had a Clarisonic (Mia 1, no longer sold) for about four years now. So, why did I decide to get another expensive cleansing brush?

Insomniac’s Guide to Falling Asleep

As a kid, it used to take me hoursss to fall asleep. My mom would come into my room and literally tell me that I couldn’t fall asleep with my eyes open. She tried just about everything to get me to fall asleep- singing to me, reading to me, buying me a CD player that played boring piano music. Literally nothing seemed to work. Flashforward to my young adult years, sometimes it takes me 30 minutes to 1 ½ hours to fall asleep. Good news, there are things that help me fall asleep faster!

Adjusting to the Beginner Stage

At the beginning of this week, I went to my college gym for the first time. This is something I had wanted to do all of last semester, but the fear of not knowing how to use the gym equipment held me back. I was worried I would look like a fool.

So, Monday rolled around and I went to the gym after class. To enter the gym, you have to swipe your ID. Of course when I swiped my ID, the swipe thing didn’t work because I had to fill out a waiver. I knew it wasn’t that big of a deal, but my anxiety levels were already so high and I just wanted to seamlessly enter the gym without attracting any unnecessary attention to myself.
