I went on a Star Wars space cruise experience. Just like any other cruise, there was unlimited food. But unlike other cruises, I helped Rey and the resistance fight against the First Order. Disney recently launched the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, a themed hotel and roleplaying two-day experience in Disney World Orlando, FL. 2023 Update - The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is now closed. I'm sad this has happened, but am grateful to have had the experience to visit the h

Welcome to mood, our new series of personal essays on rebeccaksampson.com. These posts will be about empowering you to take on a new perspective to problems and scenarios you encounter at work, in your family, the past, and in general life. First up, we're going to talk about the bitch you hate from work, that friend of a friend that you don't want invited, and/or the random cousin you see at family get togethers that people keep forcing you towards because you have one thing

Whether you are a law of attraction warrior, love Human Design, or just focus on feeling good without learning any of the "rules" of the universe, these affirmation wallpapers are for you. Each of these affirmations was pulled from my book, Repeat After Me: How to Change Your Life in 1,111 Affirmations or Less. If you enjoyed them, grab your copy on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Manifestation, as you know, is the art of bringing into your re

Life threw a big freaking surprise my way 13 days ago. If you haven't heard, I'll fill you in, but first, let me give you some background. I've been diligently working on the sequel to my fiction book, Ember Dragon Daughter, these past few months. I had an idea for another book at the back of my head that kept getting louder, but I ignored it. Then, I had the cover of this new book pop straight into my head. I knew I couldn't ignore it anymore. Early May I contacted a design

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

Bottle-free beauty bar helps minimize plastic waste, works great on your hair, & is an affordable sustainable option. Kitsch & VIORI review.

I am a very light sleeper, I always have been. I can go to sleep fast, but I wake up constantly. It doesn't make me feel well-rested and that is something I desperately need. On and off I've tried melatonin supplements to see if they would help me stay asleep longer. Usually, these pills would make me feel drowsy as heck and wake up groggy. I've tried different amounts of milligrams and no matter what I bought at the store they didn't seem to work for me. That is, none worked

What you are about to read was written by someone scared 24/7. Every moment of my life in 2016 (and 2017) was filled with self-doubt, anxiety, and pain. This article was originally posted in 2016 on my former blog. I have since moved on from that website, starting a new one here after launching my books. When the blog disappeared, so did my initial (albeit, filtered) thoughts at that time. I kept thinking about my first (and possibly only) pregnancy experience and how differe

I noticed something interesting on my last trip to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure...🧐 (Cute Family pics coming soon, don’t worry. Jack had a great time! 💗) As I was getting ready every day I actually liked how I looked. This is shocking for me. Going on vacation, up until now, has always been a body image trigger for me. When on vacation, I see new people I wouldn't otherwise be exposed to living in a suburb of Miami-Dade. Many people see Miami as this h

In this review, I will share details behind my latest purchase - a mandala necklace from Mantraband. Was it worth the cost? Does it feel like high quality? I'll answer that in this blog post. If you are following my life on Instagram, you may know I am currently working through some past traumas. I am typically open about what I am experiencing, so after I get more information on what is happening I'll talk more about it. In sum, there are some health concerns that are out of
