Self Care Is Important

I know, I know, another post about self care but it is so important.

Now that it's summer, self-care is probably the number one thing right now for girls. Think about it, we all want to look our best for summer, whether it involves working or seeing people from your hometown or just traveling. Everybody has their own things for self-care, ranging from face masks to running.

Personally, I love a good face mask, watching some Netflix, doing my nails, and just relaxing. An everyday thing I love to do for myself is to get a workout in, even if it is a short one. Some girls like to read a book, take a bath, there are just so many things you can do for yourself.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in things, to the point to where you forget to take care of your self. It's okay to take a step back from whatever you're doing and realize, I need to care for myself. It's not good to be stressed out, it's so unhealthy for you and your body. It is also okay to take as many days you need a week to do some self-care, as long as you get your stuff done.

I can't tell you how many times where I have been stressed out, took a break from what I was doing, and just relaxed and did my own thing. I felt so much better and it is always so needed.

Besides face masks, manicures, pedicures, and basically anything beauty related, another thing I like to do for self-care is to just relax and watch a movie. If you're looking for some movie or television recommendations, I recommend Game of Thrones, The Office, Wedding Crashers, and you can never go wrong with a comedy.

Self-care is important to each person, you need to let your body relax. Hopefully, after reading this, you'll go do a face mask!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
