    Learn How To Say and Practice Saying “No”

    November 6, 2019 /

    In the past I have talked about how to say no to selfish friends ; but that’s no easy feat. In the post I talked about clear ways to tell your friends “no” without saying “no” and when to evaluate and communicate in a relationship where you feel you are being used by a selfish or toxic friend. Sometimes learning how to just say the word “no” is  the real challenge, but you also need to practice using “no.” A lot of us feel that the word “no” makes us disagreeable and may lead to confrontation.  A lot of us have been in relationships and situations where our “no” was disrespected,…

    Becoming a Good Enough-ist

    September 11, 2019 /

    Becoming a good enough-ist has allowed me to grow and learn and be the best I can be, being a perfectionist only made me a stagnated, selfish and unreasonable person. Now, perfectionism isn't "good enough" for me.

    Make it a Habit: How To Consume Media Critically and Carefully

    July 22, 2019 /

    As we get closer to the 2020 election and potential presidential candidates are out campaigning, we are sure to start hearing conflicting stories, dissenting opinions, and mudslinging (something that has happened for hundreds of years in politics). I am someone who works in media (broadcast, and now formerly print) and consumes media, I can confidently say that how we consume media and where we get it is important to how we form opinions and arguments (which are not the same thing BTW). Something I hear all the time in class, at work, and in social settings is that the media is evil and has an agenda. While yes there is…

    Nail Biting Habit Update: Taking a Break From Gel Manicures

    April 3, 2019 /

    When I began trying to break my nail biting habit back in August of 2018, I got my first gel manicure. Up until March 15th, I had only seen my bare nails when my amazing nail artist Marie was taking the old gel off and putting on new gel. This last manicure, my nails started to chip, flake and peel right away; which is strange considering I could go four weeks before without even a tiny chip or break. When I went in, I let her know what was going on and she was shocked too. I had heard that getting gel manicures back to back is not good for…

    Update On My Nail Biting Habit

    January 9, 2019 /

    My original goal was to go 90 days without biting or chewing before I considered my habit broken. I restarted my 90 days on November 29, so I'm 41 days in. I already decided though, that if I can go 90 days without biting or chewing my nails, I'm still going to extend my goal 90 more days. I really want to break this habit and be done with it.

    My Simple Skin Care Routine

    December 13, 2018 /

    My skin care routine has evolved over the years from only using bar soap, to using bar soap and a moisturizer, using a facial cleanser and moisturizers, the 10 step korean skin care regimen, to now: using bar soap again but with a facial oil, a surum, and a moisturizer. My skin care routine has changed so much but I ultimately found that keeping it simple is what works best for me. My Skin Care Routine Evolution I didn’t get my first “real” zit until I was about 16 years old.  There are a few things I think contributed to this phenomena, but in the end its because it was…
