Joy
I have had this topic joy for several months and have never been able to tackle it until now. My main concern with the word joy is whether or not it is a product of the first world? I think yes and no. Joy from watching the latest HBO show or getting the newest iPhone…

Morning or Evening Person
One dinner last week, someone asked me when I wake up/sleep and I answered 6AM/1030PM to which she respond, that is so early! To be honest, on my own, I would stay up way too late and would have to drag myself to get to work on time. I know I’m definitely not a morning…

Writing Challenge 2016
As the year wraps up, I start to unravel a whole new list to start the new year. To better myself creatively, aside from my 365 Days of Calligraphy and my annual GoodReads Book Challenge, I will also be writing twice a month to create 24 blog posts for 2016!

Seasickness On the Hudson
The past few months, I had taken up a semi-full time freelance position with an ad agency, allowing myself 3 days weekend, never exceeding 8 hour workdays, and also learning how to balance money for insurance, taxes, rent, and savings. It feels like being an adult while still enjoying my time. I went into the…

Cutting My Hair
For a lot of us, hair defines a person. It is our vanity and downfall but it is our pride and joy. The thought of going bald, going grey, or not having the “perfect” hair worries us and often sends us into a manic stress, researching and buying anything to make it better. Even for…
