It has officially been one year since I graduated from my university. Last May, life was a whirlwind of excitement, stress, and doubt. Since then, I’ve come a long way and learned quite a bit about the workforce, my personal habits, “adulting”, and what makes me happy. Seeing as we’re in the peak graduation season,…

Guys, life does not slow down. I keep waiting to catch my breath (and for some reason adding more stuff to my plate), but it doesn’t let up. So even though I’m still in the throws of it all, I recently decided to make quite a few life changes of these past few months of…

We all dream of luscious, beautiful hair, the kind that shines and has no frizz. Some will go to great lengths to be sure their hair looks good, including using tons of heat styling, intense treatments and more. But what if it there was a simpler way? In high school, I treated my hair terribly.…

This has been a hard yet beautiful year for me. I actually reached quite a few of my previous resolutions, such as graduating from my masters program, moving of our one bedroom apartment, and becoming a fully fledged licensed teacher.
