It’s finally April, and it is gorgeous here in Colorado with 60-70 degree days all week! I’ve been hanging as much as I can in the sunshine, soaking it up like a sponge. I noticed that the warmer and sunnier it is outside, the better my overall mood. Sunshine = Happiness It is a little …
Just Checking In… Hello Beautiful People, and welcome to Quarantine Gardening! It feels like the closer we get to normalization, the farther it seems. I am so excited that I’ve gotten my first vaccine dose (and most of my family has as well!) None of us have really shown any side effects, although my arm …
Part of becoming a young adult is learning how to get your financial shit together. There becomes a certain point in our twenties (or thirties) that it is no longer cute to ask your parents how to write a check or how to open a bank account. Unfortunately, it is exceedingly rare to be taught …

The kindest community on the internet, but full of terminology and jargon that makes a person feel slightly intimidated when first introduced to this online love letter to all things bookish. Or was that just me? Today, I’d like to *virtually* sit down and discuss some …
Why Do We Hate Pink? When I was a little girl, I decided that I hated the color pink. This hatred of pink I carried with me up until college. I would loudly proclaim “Ew, pink is such a GIRLY color” and gravitate towards literally anything else. What does this have to do with Chick …
Sometimes you need to go somewhere. And sometimes, a pandemic gets in the way. Not to worry, we have a few ideas of where you can go in the meantime… Going a little stir-crazy… Well all, here we are on day 84503th of Covid-Quarantine. I don’t know about you but if you’re like me, you’re …
