The Ultimate Reset: 21-Day Mind, Body, and Home Detox to Start Fresh This Spring
Spring has finally arrived — and with it, the promise of renewal. After months of short days, heavy meals, and sluggish routines, it’s natural to feel foggy, drained, and a little stuck. I know I did. Winter left me running on empty — my mind cluttered, my body sluggish, and my home reflecting that same chaotic energy. I realized what I needed: a total life reset. That’s why I created this 21-day Spring Reset Plan. Spring is nature’s invitation to clear out what no longer serves us. Trees shed old leaves, flowers push through the soil, and animals emerge from hibernation. We’re no different. This season symbolizes detoxification and fresh…

I Went Back to College 8 Years Later – Was It the Right Choice?
When I first left college in my early twenties, I had no clear vision of what I wanted from life. I wasn’t chasing dreams, and I wasn’t building anything. I was just trying to survive. School had felt like a box I was supposed to check off, a path I was told to follow. I didn’t have financial support, I didn’t have stable housing, and I didn’t have the luxury of being myself. I now realize how closely my experience mirrored that of someone raised in foster care—a sense of being raised well enough to stay out of trouble, but never really prepared for life outside the bubble. No one…

Capstone Project
Reflecting on My Senior Capstone Journey: From Personal Stories to Empowerment As I prepare for my Senior Presentation, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible journey this Capstone project has taken me on. Over the past months, I’ve shared stories that were deeply personal, honest, and sometimes difficult to write. Each blog post became part of my growth and helped shape not just my project, but me as a person. I started with my mental health story in “Surviving, Not Just Existing.” It was raw and real—something I knew others could relate to but don’t always talk about. Then, I explored what happens after survival in “Personal Growth: Why…

The 5 Items I Always Keep On My Nightstand
If I had to make a wild guess, you probably already have a light lamp and an alarm clock on your nightstand. So those were the first things added when I finally got a nightstand. The nightstand is usually right next to the bed, and it is a perfect spot to dump everything you like and easy to reach (I want to place my hearing aids there too). A few items have been sitting on the nightstand before, but I will rave and share what lights my soul and makes a difference in my mood and thoughts before I shut my eyes. I have this terrible habit of using my…

Goodbye 2020 & Hello 2021
Time has come! 2020 is about to be over. With the latest chapter coming up, I want to reflect on 2020 with the projects that I haven’t done before, which I share with you. I have lost count of how many times I have read many inspiring blog posts and found myself admiring their contents. I had my vision that continued to persist in my mind, and over time I decided to give it a chance. It took me almost over a year to play around with my blog before deciding on the launch date. A few years ago, I would always get lost on Pinterest and read the contents…
