✈️🛋️ Post-Travel Soft Reset Checklist: How to Bounce Back Like a Boss 🫶🏾

Image
Just got back from globe-trotting? Your body needs some TLC to catch up. Here’s your no-stress guide to reset and recharge. 1. 🕰️  Sync with local time Wake, eat, and sleep on your home clock—even if your body’s yelling, “But it’s still Europe time!” 2. 💧  Hydrate like a queen Water, electrolytes, lemon water—whatever gets you sipping. Flights and walking dehydrate you fast. 3. 🍲  Eat simple, nourishing food Think warm soups, fresh veggies, and easy meals that don’t confuse your tummy. 4. 🌞  Catch morning light Get outside for at least 10 minutes early in the day to reset your internal clock and boost your mood. 5. 🧘🏾‍♀️  Stretch and move gently Your feet and back deserve love after all that walking. Try gentle stretches, yoga, or a calming walk. 6. 🛋️  Embrace “nothing” time Dedicate a day or half-day to pure chill mode—tea, cozy shows, journaling, or just vibing. 7. 🎮  Set a wind-down alarm Give yourself a soft reminder to pause screens and g...

Good Morning! It’s 11:13 AM, and I Almost Busted My Ass

Image
  Good morning! It’s 11:13 AM, and let me tell you—I almost busted my ass going down the steps just a few minutes ago. Yesterday, it snowed, and now it’s a full-on winter wonderland outside. ❄️ Everything is covered in white, looking all pretty and peaceful… until you realize there’s ice hiding underneath, just waiting to take you out. Slippery as fuck. I’m pretty sure classes might get moved to remote again because, honestly, who wants to risk sliding across campus like a cartoon character? Not me. I’d rather stay inside, cozy and warm, sipping something hot while watching the snowfall  from a  safe distance. We get so caught up in the rush of life—deadlines, responsibilities, stress—that we forget one of the simplest yet most important things: waking up each day is a gift. This little cow sipping coffee in the sunlight perfectly captures that feeling of slowing down and appreciating the moment. Sometimes, it’s easy to focus on what’s missing, what’s wrong, or what ...

Sipping in Solitude: Refreshing Drinks to Keep You Cool and Calm🧉

Image
Hi there 👋🏾 (or not, because we both know I’m awkward about greetings). Let’s just dive in. As someone who thrives on quiet moments and minimal human interaction, I’ve realized there’s nothing better than a refreshing drink to elevate my me-time. 🍹 Whether it’s a cozy night in with a book 📚, a Netflix binge 🎥, or just staring out the window contemplating life 🌧️, the right drink makes everything feel a little more  extra . Recently, I stumbled into the fascinating world of winter citrus, and let me tell you—it’s a whole new vibe. 🍊 There are so many unique varieties I’d never heard of before, like Buddha’s hand, yuzu, and cara cara oranges. I’ve never seen or tasted most of these fruits, but just from looking at them, I can imagine how delicious and refreshing they must be. Like, who wouldn’t want some fancy lemonade made with these? 😍💁🏾‍♀️ Naturally, my introverted self thought, “This would be perfect for making drinks while I enjoy my alone time.” So, I’ve put toge...

Awkwardly Yours: Embracing the Awkward, Shy Introvert Within 💜🫣

Image
  Hey there, fellow humans of the internet! 🌍👋🏾 So, let's talk about something near and dear to my heart: the  awkward, shy introvert  combo. Yep, that’s me—awkward, shy, and an introvert, all wrapped up into one wonderfully unique package. 🎁 And guess what? It's okay to be this way! In fact, it's pretty awesome, and I'm here to share why. 😊 1.  The Awkwardness  😬 Okay, let's get this out of the way—I’m awkward, like  seriously  awkward. 😅 It’s that thing where I’ll overthink every word that comes out of my mouth or second-guess the way I’m standing in a room. I’ll say something that I think is clever, then immediately start regretting it (I promise you, no one else notices, though). 🤦🏾‍♀️ But here's the thing:  awkwardness is part of the charm . 💖 It shows that you’re human, that you don’t take yourself too seriously. If anything, it makes you more relatable and authentic. 😌 And let’s be real—who doesn’t love a good awkward moment? 😂 ...

How Far Will Trump and the Republicans Go?

Reading the link below tells you all you need to know about Trump and the Republicans. It’s just sick and disgusting. This is why racism will never die in America. The relentless and baseless attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris have reached new lows. The focus on her race, gender, and intelligence is not only offensive but also a clear indication of the deep-seated racism and misogyny that still plague our country. These attacks are designed to undermine her credibility and distract from the real issues at hand. Republican attacks on Kamala Harris center on race and gender This kind of rhetoric is not just harmful to Vice President Harris but to all women and people of color who aspire to positions of power and influence. It sends a message that no matter how qualified or capable you are, you will always be judged by the color of your skin and your gender. Racism in America is a persistent and pervasive issue. It’s ingrained in our systems and institutions, and it’s perpetuated by ...

Relating to the BuzzFeed Video on Being an Introvert

Image
  I recently watched a BuzzFeed video about introverts, and I have to say, it captured my experience with such accuracy that it felt like they were describing my own life. The video highlighted so many aspects of introversion that I deeply relate to, from the need for alone time to the challenge of social interactions. One point that resonated with me was how introverts recharge by spending time alone. This is so true for me—I find that I need quiet, solitary moments to regain my energy and feel balanced. Social gatherings, while enjoyable at times, can be draining, and I need to retreat to recharge my batteries. The video also touched on the struggle of feeling overwhelmed in large social settings. I’ve often found myself feeling overstimulated and anxious in crowded spaces, which is something I hadn’t fully understood until I saw it articulated so well in the video. It’s a reminder that it’s perfectly okay to prioritize my well-being and choose smaller, more manageable social int...
