I’m so sick of the Donald Trump presidency!!! On the blog, I wrote about the Mint money app, my favorite … More HeyLookAtThis! December 15, 2018
When I make time for myself I’m better able to to quell my anxiety. It’s an act of love, an affirmation that I can take care of myself. I can acknowledge that for a moment not everything is in chaos. My self care can take many forms, as I outline below, but it always focuses … More My Self Care Routine

Mint always asks me to rate the app, but I can’t really articulate in a few words why I’m so frustrated every time I use it, and how I’m not able to use it to it’s full potential.
