Never Count Them Out: Jets’ Perseverance Shines in 27–24 Win

The New York Jets won against the Atlanta Falcons 27 to 24 yesterday, and this win really showed the team’s perseverance. It wasn’t a perfect game by any means; there were a lot of mistakes made on both sides. It also wasn’t a fancy one to write home about either. Still, it was a game […]

The Bathroom Closet Doesn’t Judge Gender

The Bathroom Closet Doesn’t Judge Gender

I share a bathroom closet with my husband. It’s a very crowded area that’s full of various hair products we use (or said I would and have yet to actually do so). Honestly, I’m convinced it could rival some beauty influencer’s collection. Many people would assume most of the products are mine, but in reality, […]

The Struggle of Trying to Be “Balanced” in Health and Happiness

The Struggle of Trying to Be “Balanced” in Health and Happiness

Everyone talks about using balance in our lives like it’s so easy to accomplish, a clear and straight line we can walk without problem. You have to eat healthy but don’t be afraid to indulge, exercise but make sure you rest and work hard but make time for your social life and sleep too. In […]

Why I Can’t Stop Trying TikTok Food Hacks

Why I Can’t Stop Trying TikTok Food Hacks

TikTok food hacks have put me in a chokehold recently. I’m sure I’ve saved at least twenty of them to attempt, and some of them I’ve already tried out. Some have been successes and were added to my recipes list, while others were deleted and forgotten about like they never existed in my gallery to […]

A federal judge has dismissed criminal cases against former FBI Director James B.

The Messy Reality of Seasonal Wardrobe Swaps

The Messy Reality of Seasonal Wardrobe Swaps

Seasonal wardrobe swaps sound simple in theory. I mean, think about it: you just pack away the clothes from the season you’re not in anymore and unpack the ones you are, right? In reality, it’s just pure chaos falsely labeled under the name of “organization.”  First, there’s the sheer amount of stuff you have to go through […]

New York’s Overtime Stand: Why Taking the Lions Down to the Wire Matters

The New York Giants lost to the Lions during overtime yesterday with a score of 34 to 27. Still, this game showed the team has made some progress despite the struggles they’ve faced this season.

The Struggle of Deciding Between E-Books and Physical Books

The Struggle of Deciding Between E-Books and Physical Books

The choice between reading an e-book and a physical book can feel a bit dramatic sometimes. While e-books offer convenience due to the ability to store them in your house and travel with them, physical books provide more sensory experiences that e-books can’t. This makes every reading session a tough decision between the two.  The […]

“Practical Magic” and the Art of Sisterhood

“Practical Magic” and the Art of Sisterhood

There’s something so powerful within movies that use themes like sisterhood, especially when they include literal magic. Films like Practical Magic are more than just entertainment to put on when Halloween comes around. They’re a representation of how female relationships can be supportive and give you strength during the hardest times.  In movies like these, the bonds […]
