Beauty Sleep Is the Biggest Scam of All Time
For years, I’ve heard people say things about needing their “beauty sleep” and how it’s the ultimate hack to glowing skin.

It’s My First Holiday Without You
It’s my first holiday without you.
Everyone’s here
Just like last year,
But your seat is missing.
Trying to be thankful today,
But you’re not here—
It’s weird
And I really miss you.
The conversation is empty around the table
Without your voice,
Or your laugh,
To fill the holes in our hearts.
Will holidays ever be the same now?
Today was hard,
But what about Christmas?
A holiday you were so a part of.
I’m trying to focus on the good memories.
All the times
You were here.
Feels like we’re all falling apart.
Your absence is felt daily, but especially now.
I miss you.
Oh, how I miss you.
And it feels like nothing will ever be the same again.
Ded. This huge loss
