"Too late for second-guessing, too late to go back to sleep, it’s time to trust my instincts close my eyes and leap." - Wicked the Musical

9. Lonely Call

Where To Find The Best Coffee Drinks In America, According To A Survey

Coffee, for billions of people, is one of the only things that can get us out of bed (after hitting snooze a time or two), especially in 2020. Because, if we're being honest, is there anything that beats a quality cup of coffee on those mornings when all we wanted to do is roll over and go back to sleep? The answer is no. And if you're headed to a coffee shop to pick up your caffeinated beverage, you don't want to sleep on the best coffee drinks in America.

According to LiveShopper Sassie's Coffee Project survey, when it comes to chain coffee shops, there are definitely preferred spots you'll want to hit up for your go-to order — whether you order the classic, frozen, or flavored coffee, an espresso, tea, or other. To figure out the hot spots, 1,000 coffee drinkers across the United States took to LiveShopper's mobile app, PrestoShopper, to answer various questions about their coffee drinking habits and preferences. In return, these survey respondents got money back for their coffee — something any user who downloads the app can do as well (yes, even you).

How Much Of A Coffee Snob You Are, Based On Where You Live

When it comes to coffee, everyone has different criteria for what goes into their "perfect cup." Some caffeine lovers, though, are extra particular when it comes to their beloved beverage. One survey found that the state you're from (or the one you live in now) may play a part in determining how much of a coffee snob you actually are.

LiveShopper Sassie, the company behind this Coffee Project survey, received input from 1,000 coffee drinkers via their mobile app, PrestoShopper, to ask various questions about their coffee drinking habits and preferences.

This Clean Skincare Brand Uses Supercharged Ingredients The Amazon Has Used For Centuries

It's also an aromatherapy-lovers dream.

- Like a lot of fellow skincare junkies, clean beauty has been a passion of mine for years — more and more of us are embracing natural ways of taking care of our bodies.

- A few months ago, I was introduced to Symbiome: a newly launched brand with supercharged ingredients from the Amazon that showed faster results in healing acne and pigmentation on my skin than anything I've tried.

- Each minimalist product from the brand has ten or fewer ingredients, all naturally and sustainable sourced. Most have less than four.

Being Indian, clean beauty has always been a core part of my beauty rituals passed down from my mother and grandmother. From massaging warm coconut oil into our scalps to sweeping DIY turmeric saffron masks on our faces, most South Asian households were doing the clean beauty thing before the Western world labeled it as such.

For that reason, when I first heard about Symbiome: a clean skincare brand featuring supercharged ingredients sourced from the Amazon, I was immediately intrigued. The brand features four postbiomic oils, a restorative cream, and two cleansers.

20 Things My Anxiety Has Grabbed And Turned Into A Crisis

To a most basic degree, anxiety is the body's response to stress or fear. We all experience anxiety, but when anxiety manifests itself as a disorder it can be much much different. Anxiety is a feeling is when you get bees in your stomach because you have a job interview tomorrow or a presentation to give in an hour. Anxiety, as a disorder, is having those nerves all the time or a lot of the time over things that really should not cause those feelings and it is exhausting. There are many ways to treat anxiety, including different medicines, a variety of therapy, or a combination of both.

Before I begin explaining how my anxiety has impacted me personally, I do want to clarify that I take medicine and see a cognitive behavioral therapist as needed. I am in no way 100% "cured" but I am working on it day by day. Anxiety, or any other mental health issue, is not a fad, "quirk," or something to be romanticized. Now that I have said my disclaimers, let's jump into everything I overthought about this past week.
