The Ultimate Stocking Stuffer Guide for Ladies
I scoured my favorite retailers for some of the cutest stocking stuffer appropriate shit this season and let me tell you something, this turned into a seriously selfish endeavor. When I initially set out to make this guide, I wanted to do a really diverse set of options for him, her, kids, grandma, etc. What ended up happening was I found a ton of shit for myself and couldn’t focus on the other. So, I said “fuck it” and decided that this year I would just focus on stocking stuffers for “her”. I mean, I think I relatively know what a lot of women like and I definitely know what…
The Best Cake for Fall
I’ve been really enjoying baking this year and have started to reach my stride in the process. I think I can confidently say I can just bake a cake (still working from a recipe), but I know how to troubleshoot in the process and come out with a good product no matter what. It’s really cool!

What I’m working on is remembering that we’re not 100% all the time and punishing ourselves for working through something is counterintuitive, as is neglecting self-love because…
13 Random Things About Me
It’s been a while since I reintroduced myself to all of you, so I figured let’s learn a little about me. I always separate my skittles and I hate the yellow ones. Those are trash Skittles. I love scary movies and books. I love a good campfire ghost story even more! I’m a great bowler! Well, at least better than the general public. 😉 When I was in early high school, I thought I’d be a professional bowler, travel the US in a travel and date a guy with a Mohawk. Goals, I guess? My favorite book series is His Dark Materials. I’m losing my mind with excitement…

This post contains affiliate links. Click to read my full disclaimer. Learning to love yourself is no joke. For a lot of us, it will never come easy and the journey is never ending. I can go on a diatribe about society and “norms” and ideals pushed on women, but instead of focusing on the negative, I want to talk about the positive. Anyone who knows me or has been following my blog knows that my journey has been wrought with strife and I’ve struggled to love the body I’m in from the day I learned what self-hate was, at about the tender age of 9. It took another 23…
