As we ALL know, quarantine has people cooking from home, whether that be out of boredom, out of fear of takeout, or out of combination of the two. A lot of people have also been panic buying items, sometimes overdosing on the quantity of items being purchased…the biggest cuprite I’ve seen lately is bananas. And…
Great Choc-Chip Cookie Comp: Tollhouse
Weee’rreee back! After all of the “Tasty” cookies were devoured, I decided it was time for round two of this Great Cookie Comp. This time, I decided to go with the most classic recipe possible. The one that most made as a kid, or bought premade versions of in the store. That’s right, this week…
The Great Chocolate-Chip Cookie Competition
A widely known fact about me: my favorite food is a chocolate chip cookie. However, like all cuisine, I want to eat something that’s good. That’s exciting. That checks all the boxes for something amazing. So when I say that chocolate chip cookies are my favorite food, I don’t mean some measly, store bought disc that is an abomination to…
Quarantine Routine
To put it lightly…the whole world is kinda going through it right now. Obviously everyone knows what’s happening, but instead of dwelling on the matter, I think it’s best to establish as much normalcy and positivity as possible in your day to day life. Some people live for routines. Others don’t. Whatever your normal life is like…replicate…
Stressed. That’s it. That’s the Title.
It’s happening. This week is hectic. To say the very, VERY least. Every single one of my obligations has decided to make special projects, due dates, and activities all within THIS week. This is the time I’d normally get overwhelmed and let my mental wellbeing plummet. I’m proud to announce that I’m doing as much…
Bouef Bourguignon, Mindfulness and Meryl Streep
“Perfection. And even if it isn’t, never apologize.” I was sitting in my room, feeling stressed and anxious about life’s ever-present questions and worries. For me, my mind can move 1,000 directions per second, and I struggle to find ways to shut it off. The easiest way (albeit perhaps not the best way) for me to get…
What the Health?
Health. Such a taboo word these days. There are so many different definitions of what “health” really is. To some, they think “health” is achieving a certain weight. To others, it’s working out all the time. Some people think health is eating a lot of fruits and veggies. Other people think health is sleeping 8…
Greetings, loved ones. Let’s take a journey.
Let’s have a chat. I’m a good chunk of the way into my Spring 2020 semester at college and let me tell you: it’s been a whirlwind. While there’s been many fun adventures and MANY memories made, there has also been a lot. Of. Stress. I’m someone who likes to be super busy: having a…
Maui Memories: Day 4 & 5
Yes, I’m combining two days…but considering the days were relatively similar, I promise to keep this post short and sweet with only the best bits being sharedJ. Let’s begin! Day 4 We started the day with coffee and a little breakfast treat (what’s new), then headed to Maui’s “SWAP Meet” to look around at little…
Maui Memories: Day 3
Maui day 3! We started off the day very, very early…thank goodness we are still riding on somewhat California time. The harsh wakeup call was well worth it, because at 7am we were off on a “snorkeling expedition.” We took a guided speedboat snorkeling tour of the great oceans of Maui. This included two main snorkeling…
