Apartment doesn’t recycle? Here’s how I use Ridwell mail-in, plus where to recycle batteries, hair dryers, plastic bags and cans for little or no cost.

Yes, User Interviews is legit. Most studies pay $10 to $50, up to $200 for niche ones, in gift cards about two weeks after you finish. Here is a write-up of my experience with this platform.

After we adopted Luca, our Jack Russel Terrier, our lives totally changed. Having a second dog (and third pet) has been an adjustment, but he fits into the family so well. At home, he is a sweet cuddling dog, but once we go outside, he is more reactive, barking and lunging at other dogs. He is small, but powerful, and can almost make me fall with how hard he can tug the leash. Look at how cute he is!! I've lived in this condo for over ten years now, and having the dogs I've k

Kind Friends, I am so excited to share this post with you! If you read my first body odor post, you know I've tried so many things to smell better, even eating two-three large oranges a day. There were a lot of things that helped, but nothing was sustainable for me to add to my team daily, and 100% fool-proof. Until now. For the past two months I've been following a really simple routine that has gotten rid of my body odor nearly entirely. It's only three products! It works s

Having long luscious hair has been a dream of mine for years. But after some bad decisions set me back, I had trouble growing my hair without it breaking off at my shoulders. Now, you are about to see some embarrassing photos of my damaged hair. While I don't love sharing these pictures of me, I know that dealing with damaged hair is something a lot of women can relate to. If you were like me, you may have felt helpless to fix it. I followed a lot of tutorials, guides, DIY oi

I've been curious about laser hair removal for years and finally took the opportunity. It was more pain free than I expected and a fairly simple process. However, there were a few things I didn't know when coming into this experience that I'm going to share here to help aid your experience too. And if you live in Miami or Kendall, I'm also giving a review of my laser hair removal experience and thoughts on a local place you can get your services done. Even if you aren't in th

Hello Kind Friends, today I'm sharing a reframe that has helped me focus on what I can control vs not, as well as a peanut butter protein microwave pancake recipe. Image created with Midjourney, see Instagram video for what the recipe actually looks like. Let's start with the recipe and then we'll move on to the advice. This recipe is inspired by _emilysworld and her video below: My version of the recipe: Mix one serving of vanilla protein powder with half a serving of powder

Hi Kind Friends! I've been dealing with body odor since I was in middle school and it's been something that's made me feel embarrassed often. I've tried many antiperspirants over the years and nothing worked for more than a few hours. This past year, I've found a lot of items and hacks that have worked better for me, mainly because they address the cause of the odor rather than hiding it. And no, the hacks don't involve showering more often than you already do! "For Good" is

If I had to summarize You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero in one sentence, I would say that this book is secretly a Law of Attraction and manifestation guide with a funny backdrop and wrapped in self-love. In other words, it's a must-read, and probably everything Jen writes is worth adding to your collection. Jen Sincero is a Hilarious Writer I re-read You Are a Badass in a book club this year, seeking a break from heavier self-help books like Atomic Habits and The Subtle Art of

In the sixth grade, I made one mistake that caused me to get mononucleosis (AKA mono AKA "the kissing diseases") and cold sores. Oh goodness, it was embarrassing, I was young, didn't really know much about germs, and used a stranger's lip gloss. I know, ew. I didn't understand what cold sores were and would often try to pop them, like if it was a pimple. That ended up with scars on my lips. They eventually calmed down and now in my 30s, the scars are not noticeable, but cold

ClassPass wellness sessions cost 25 to 65 credits and can't be booked on the free trial. How booking, tipping and Concierge work, from a longtime member.

I love getting things done, but my brain needs to approach tasks in its own way, rather than a simple to-do list. I started using Notion three months ago as an alternative to paper planning, and I quickly became obsessed. It is my second brain and helps me stay focused while I’m working on tasks. Notion is the perfect productivity hack for ADD and ADHD. The four main ways I use Notion are: Daily journaling and my manifestation journal process (new video to come soon on that)

After four years, I've started posting on YouTube again. I never thought I'd say that because YouTube, until recently, felt like a part of my life that would stay in the past. But something about the last few weeks has called me back to the platform. I posted my first video yesterday and was so happy to get in multiple comments right away from my subscribers, saying they had been thinking about me recently. Looks like we manifested each other! You can watch the video here: I

Today's mood is starting over. Decluttering isn't wasting money. It's a mindset shift. This post covers why "does it spark joy" doesn't work for everyone, especially with ADHD, plus three practical hacks: a gut check test, a Swedish death cleaning approach, and how to break the buy-declutter-rebuy cycle with aspirational purchases. Includes a simple gratitude ritual to say goodbye to items without guilt, so decluttering feels peaceful instead of frantic.

How much is ClassPass, how do credits work, and what can't you book on the free trial? My honest review, plus whether I kept my membership after the trial.

Have you ever felt like you should give fewer fucks about what is going on around you? Mark Manson certainly thinks so. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a refreshing book in the self-help category because it's funny, sassy, helpful, and mindset-focused. Through humor and personal examples, Mark gives solid life advice. Here I'm going to summarize three main lessons from the book. Don't take my word for it though, this is one you need to pick up yourself. Lesson 1: Care

Update: As of 2024, Arcadia's renewable energy membership was bought by Sol Systems. Information on their program may be different than the below. There is a cost-efficient way to use solar and wind energy at home, without having solar panels. Even renters can use this solution and the best part... it only costs $5 per month to completely replace your energy use with renewable sources! It's honestly crazy for me to write that sentence, it makes me sound like I'm overpromising

Would you subscribe to eucalyptus every month? This honest Eucalyptus Farms review covers pros and cons after two months, including cost, fragrance strength versus marketing claims, and dried eucalyptus for home decor. Find out why I unsubscribed despite loving the aesthetic, whether it's worth it for aromatherapy versus decor, and two alternative ways to get eucalyptus without a subscription.

As I now work from home full-time, I have made some updates to my routines to help me better symbolize when my work starts and ends. Setting up routines and habit stacks that are tied only to work helps keep my energy clear, which also improves how I manifest my goals in this new period of my life. This is especially important to me because my home office is in my bedroom, in the walk-in closet that I've converted. I need to create feelings of abundance both for work and for
