Lately I have been finding myself a little burnt out and out of place. I work more hours than I realize and “reward” myself with breaks when I think I have done enough to deserve them. Sometimes those breaks include food and other times those breaks include just enough time to get up and stretch …
How I came about to a New morning routine
Over a weekend I decided it was time to really get to work. For me, quarantine has been a time that I could really advance in my studies when I wanted to, and how I wanted to. I am lucky to be in a position where I live securely enough that I could focus this …
How I Became an Early Bird (again)
A few weeks ago I realized how close we were to the school year beginning. Part of me was (and still is) very nervous and stressed about going back to school after a year of leave and with the pandemic still in full swing here in the US. Uncertainty makes it much more nerve- racking. …
Day Trip to D.C.

So when I heard about Lush’s all-natural henna hair dye, I knew she’d be interested. My mom has been coloring her hair regularly since she started …
A Productive and Positive Start
Working from home can sometimes be difficult (if you’re able to work at all right now). There are more distractions that push us to the edge of insanity and pull us down until the day is over. Home is a place we want to associate with “winding down”, “relaxing”, and “personal time”. So, when we …
Omen of the Day: Pomegranate
The pomegranate has been considered a good omen in many cultures and religions for centuries. We at Honest Omens see pomegranates as a sign of rebirth, growth, and many blessings.
I decided to give my room a glow up and here’s how it went: Part 1
College is a pretty life defining time. You learn new things, meet new people, discover yourself in different areas of your life. You could say you’ve grown into a new person by the end, a more mature and professional version possibly. Well, this new and improved version might not agree with that old boyband poster …
