Life

Looking back on all the memories you've made this year, you're feeling so #blessed. Maybe you landed your dream job, or discovered a new hobby that spoke to your soul. You traveled to a top bucket list destination, or moved into a cute studio…

When it comes to cats and dogs, I'm hesitant to generalize, as each furry cutie is totally unique. But in broad terms, dogs tend to be much simpler to figure out than cats. In my experience with pups, they pretty much always want to eat, cuddle, or…

To all the pets I've loved before: Thank you for loving me back unconditionally. I mean really, one of the things I appreciate most about pets is the way they're so quick to forgive, and so eager to show you all of the affection their little hearts…

The question of whether you like coffee or tea is one of those debates that's a lot like weighing The Beatles versus The Rolling Stones, or pancakes versus waffles: The choice reveals a lot about your personality, at least IMO. Personally? I'm a…

I've always been enamored with the idea of throwing a sophisticated dinner party. Setting out perfectly folded cloth napkins and whipping up dishes full of gourmet ingredients seems like the pinnacle of adulthood. But when it comes to the actual…

'Tis the season to be asked a thousand questions about your life. Well, at least if you're a millennial or sitting at the "kids table" on Thanksgiving Day, you know this to be true. You walk through the door and are greeted by relatives who you…

The closer it gets to Thanksgiving, the more pumped you are to catch up with family and friends you might not see all the time. Even if you stay in touch with your besties on the daily, it's not the same as spending actual time together. When turkey…

I'll be honest: As a young person, I don't really think about heart health very much. But, at the same time, I'm completely aware that it's never too early or too late to start caring about this part of your health. No matter what your age is,…

Thanksgiving is everything. It's a perfect combination of the crisp fall weather, and a hearty family meal. It's love, gratitude, and harvest riches, literally. Friendsgiving is also a must, and I'm going to reveal what you should bring to…

How can you detect a lie before it’s told? It’s not as challenging as you might assume. Sure, some liars are so skilled that you won’t even see them squirm when they spin their web of stories, but they say eyes are the window to the soul for a…

After almost three years of following a plant-based lifestyle, I recently started eating cheese again. At first, this made me feel a little bit like a failure, but then I remembered how much I've been craving creamy goat cheese, fragrant bries, and…

It's Friday night, and either your friend just bailed, or you made zero plans because you had an exhausting week at work. Who said Fridays were meant to be party nights, anyway? I actually prefer a nice relaxing night at home by myself, getting cozy…

Iceland is a super trendy travel destination right now. From the Blue Lagoon, to the Jökulsárlón glacial lake, to the majestic Svartifoss waterfall, there are so many breathtaking and Instagramable sites to explore. I have added Iceland to my giant…

It's time to turn the page. Sagittarius is the ninth sign in the zodiac, and this year, the season of the archer marks the ending of what many consider an unforgettable 2018, despite its trials and tribulations. Speaking of, these three zodiac signs…

Raise your hand if you're super pumped for Friendsgiving this year. I know I am. And the thing is, you never really know what festivities await you year to year, because every friend group celebrates so differently. Plus, if your squad is anything…

Yoga is my answer to everything these days. The moment I start to feel even the slightest twinge of PMS, for example, I’ll take a child’s pose to chill TF out. Or, if I can’t sleep, I’ll rock out any lingering energies in happy baby pose. With…

When it comes to online shopping, I'd argue that the best and worst part about it is that it can happen anywhere, at any time, day or night. For instance, I've literally ordered discount books and bras on my phone while standing in a (way too long)…

Like Andy Williams sang, "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" And being merry and bright is sort of your thing. To your best friends, you're like Buddy the Elf. You're always ready to bake chocolate chip cookies and go on adventures to the…

It’s the most wine-derful time of the year. The tinsel and fairy lights are strung with care, chocolate mint crinkle cookies are baking in the oven, and Michael Bublé’s Christmas album is setting the vibes of the season. Before the holiday chaos…

Throughout the holiday season, there's always something fun to do, from going ice skating and grabbing hot chocolate at a cute dessert shop, to cozying up on the couch for a holiday movie marathon. My favorite part about the holidays is having the…
