Holiday Gift Ideas: Beauty, Local Business & Food

This year around the globe, thousands of people have had to change their lifestyle, including working from home. The holiday season will be no different. With limited gatherings, most people are opting for a socially-distanced holiday. I've rounded up my holiday gift ideas and what I've purchased this year as Christmas gifts. Our country has had limitations on which stores were to be open so I've also featured a few small businesses to support. Parcel delivery during the holiday season has been particularly busy. While your gift may not arrive on time, you can always take a photo and let them know!

What Is Collagen? | How to Incorporate It Into Your Beauty/Wellness Routine

When it comes to collagen, it would be surprising if you haven't heard about it before. But some people are still confused; so what is collagen? One of the building blocks of health, this protein can be found throughout the body but is the most abundant in skin, bones, muscles and joints. Thanks to collagen, we're able to move, bend and stretch. Collagen also is behind keeping our hair shiny, skin glow and nails super strong. It seems as if collagen got popular overnight and has been found in so many health foods and skincare items!

Wedding Wednesday: Long-Sleeved Wedding Dresses For Winter Brides

When the weather gets cold, there's nothing better than getting cozy in a long-sleeved sweater sipping hot cocoa. Although brides don't usually walk down the aisle in sweaters, long-sleeves are definitely a nicer option when it comes to choosing a wedding dress. Before doing research on long-sleeved wedding dresses, I was a bit nervous because I was assuming only traditional, modest and conservative looking dresses would show up. Thankfully, there are lots of options for winter brides looking for long-sleeved options!

How to Overcome Your Fears

Yesterday, I posted an Instagram photo with a caption that I had been thinking about for a while. It's been at the back of my mind and I have been wanting to write about how to overcome your fears for a while now, but couldn't get over the anxiety and stress that came with reliving these situations and feelings. Over the past month, I had been reflecting on my life and I wasn't happy with where I was. I had to learn how to stop living in fear. It's kind of sad for me to even read what I'm typing, but it's true. (It also probably doesn't help that I'm currently listening to some 80's angst-ridden songs...) In terms of my personal life, I might go more in detail in the future, but let's just say that I had lost my creative spark and was working for someone that didn't believe in my professional abilities.

How to Organize Your Life

Over the past few days, I've been getting myself organized since it's a new month. I was thinking about what my daily activities consist of and I realized a lot of time is actually spent finding things or trying to remember who I need to send out emails to. This was fairly embarrassing because I didn't realize just how much time I wasted! (Seriously, it's not good!) I buckled down and got working on organizing my life and poof! I answer emails same day now. I'm pretty proud!

2017 Top Podcasts I Love

Although I've listened to podcasts before, I started having shorter commutes and fell out of love with them. Although they're great to listen to as a way to pass time, I discovered that listening to them with meaning is so much better. I recently started listening to podcasts again a few months ago and have been listening to them religiously. Every morning, I get up and start my morning routine. While making breakfast, I turn on the computer and listen to my podcasts. To me, there's no better way to start my morning routine.
