I haven't always loved time alone, and sometimes I still struggle with it. When you're a more introverted person, people tend to assume that you crave alone time 24/7, and when you're an extravert, people assume the exact opposite. Whether or not you subscribe to the introvert/extravert binary, we all need to be comfortable being …
I don't know about you, but I love a good face mask. They're such an easy way to practice a little bit of self care, get ready for a night out or remedy a bad day. As I mentioned in my green beauty post, I like to know what's in my skincare products, which explains …
At this time of year, I day dream about sleep. It is truly the only thing I want to be doing. Unfortunately, as someone who has never slept particularly well, I rarely get as much sleep as I crave. Falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up way too early -- it's almost laughable how bad I …
We all know it’s not easy being green. Green products - whether they be cleaning products, deodorant, shampoo or makeup - have a bit of a complicated reputation. For starters, people tend to assume that they don’t work as well as their commercial counterparts. Next, green versions of everyday items aren’t always readily available (yet!) and …
It’s difficult not to fall prey to the “new year, new you” attitude that characterizes January - I would certainly be lying if I said I hadn’t. While I don’t think there’s anything wrong with setting goals for yourself (and for some people goals are essential for motivation and success) I do think that most …

During the holidays our eating habits tend to change. More parties, more food, more drinks - it can get a little gluttonous to say the least. This bout of indulgence often leads to various cleanses, detoxes and diets come January. While I like to reset my eating habits every so often, I don’t believe in …
There are a lot of things I love about the holidays: the smell of pine, twinkle lights, cooking food for family and friends, and the generosity and kindness that characterizes the season. I also love giving gifts. The shopping part however, I could do without. This is partly because I have an aversion to malls. But …
I was pretty late to the social media game. I’ve never been particularly knowledgeable about technology and its trends and, as an introvert, social media seemed like a draining social activity that was all pervasive. Honestly, a constant, inescapable social interaction still sounds like a true nightmare to me. Hence, my initial reluctance to engage …
Seven years ago, I spontaneously decided to attend a yoga class. After fumbling through 60 minutes of strange shapes I couldn't quite get into and deep breathing that I didn't really have patience for, I was intrigued. Since then, yoga has helped me stay grounded and calm, manage my anxiety, and enjoy being in my body. …
Having recently gone back to school, my world has shrunk a little. We all have our daily, well-tread routes. Home to work/school to home; maybe the grocery store or the gym slips in there. I used to have quite a sporadic, even spontaneous schedule before this year. I was constantly running around the city. I …
