Why Everyone Should Read Lauren Graham’s New Book
I am a huge fan of Lauren Graham. I’ve watched Gilmore Girls over a thousand times, and am gradually getting through Parenthood (I am terrible at watching television shows). But, what I also love about Lauren Graham is her books. When it comes to celebrities writing books, there are some of them that just aren’t thatContinue reading “Why Everyone Should Read Lauren Graham’s New Book”
Lent’s Over — Time to Buy Books!
As many of you know, I gave up buying books for Lent. As a self-proclaimed bibliophile, you can say that this was a little hard. But, when one has a problem where they buy two or three books at a time, it’s safe to say that I can buy them faster than I can readContinue reading “Lent’s Over — Time to Buy Books!”
Why Are We Thinking So Much?
One of the things that I can win an Olympic gold medal for, if it ever were to become a sport in the games, would be overthinking. Sometimes, it’s amazing how easy I can fall into the rabbit hole of thoughts. However, what’s even more unremarkable, is how difficult it is to slip out ofContinue reading “Why Are We Thinking So Much?”
Can We Please Stop Talking About Taylor Swift?
As many of you know, I’ve become slightly turned off of Taylor Swift. The one of the reasons is because I am really not a fan of her latest album Reputation.

Let’s Hear It For The Women
In case you already haven’t heard through social media, today is the 43rd International Women’s Day.

Oh Father
Honor thy Father and thy Mother, but God didn’t think of you when writing the commandment. Oh, Father. How I prayed for you to call, and how I would cry when there was no messages from you. Oh, Father. I always questioned what I did to make you not love me, and whatContinue reading “Oh Father”
NEDA Awareness Week Reminds Us To Take A Real Look At Body Image
February 26 — March 4 is National Eating Disorder Awareness (NEDA) Week. The theme for this year’s NEDA awareness week is “Let’s Get Real,” which has a goal of one thing — to “expand” the conversation we have.

Rest In Peace, Grandma
My grandmother, Joanne, passed away last Friday. Therefore, I would like to dedicate today’s post to both remember and pay tribute to her. When I think about my grandmother, one of the first things that comes to mind is her ability to overcome obstacles. My grandmother was diagnosed with Polio Disease when she was younger.
