Have you heard of “treat yourself” or #SelfcareSaturday?

This newfound phenomenon is considered a millennial activity, one of over indulging oneself because you are ‘worth it’ and life is too short to be suffering all the time.

However, my father, who is in his mid-eighties always was an advocate of treating himself right and celebrating all the little things.

Have you ever done the morally “right” thing yet felt so heartbroken from your choice?

On October, 30th, I made the difficult decision to put my nineteen year old cat down due to a cocktail of health issues that she had little to no chance from recovering from.

While I am glad I let her rest in peace, my heart and soul still feels the pain and loss that comes from no longer having my feline companion in my life.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Cameras were the modern day solution of not being able to have physical pictures to show off to others now that we are in the digital age. However as cute and fashionable as these cameras are, are they really worth it?

I am awful about managing my finances.

This simple fact means that no matter how hard I work, and I work hard, I still haven't fulfilled the financial goals that I've been putting on my vision board year after year. 

While the easy solution would be to get a raise or a higher paying job, the fact that I do not know how to properly manage my finances is still a problem. It's the reason why I have a financial advisor, it's why I opened up to my significant other who has taken the challenge of educating me. It's partially why the highly recommended book, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" caught my attention. 

One of the biggest lessons I learned is to focus on investing in my 'asset' column.

I have been playing PostKnight three weeks

PostKnight, is a free to play RPG available on mobile devices. You play as a mail carrier who happens to be a knight, a PostKnight if you will. You make deliveries while charging forward with your weapon, defending with your shield, or healing with your potions. It’s a game that has two main ‘game modes’ that I’ll delve into shortly.

What do you do, when you want to look young forever?

While I am currently blessed with youth, I know that beauty isn’t eternal.

This is why I have begun to work diligently on figuring out my ideal skincare routine. This includes a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and the occasional mask.

Let’s talk about the Bamboo Charcoal Detoxifying Toner

My home, my room, and my office are a mess

This results in my mind and my thoughts reflecting the mess that surrounds me on a daily basis.

Whenever I go to work, the clutter on my desk stresses me out even before my day ‘officially’ begins. When I come home from a long day from work, the last thing I want to do is clean, but the clothes scattered about combined with the pieces of unidentified paper compels me to spend at least 15 minutes tidying up my space.  

Decluttering and tidying the KonMari method may be my only hope for my problem.

There are many options out in the market for headphones and earbuds to enjoy music, phone calls, and YouTube. So why do I carry air pods with me everywhere I go? They are expensive and can easily be lost, yet I love them.

I used to make fun of Apple AirPod users until I became one.

In today’s The Things I Carry post, we’ll discuss how I met and fell in love with my Apple AirPods.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed? You feel like you are fighting a hydra and no matter how many heads you slice, two more keep growing in its place?

This is what life feels like. Whenever you complete a task at work, you get three more in its place. If you complete something for a relative, suddenly two more ask for favors. After going to a hangout with friends, you are suddenly involved in another project. Your to-do list is growing and you cannot keep up.

In this digital age, more and more solutions are out in the market for uploading, storing, and retrieving files. This is a blessing and a curse, after all, with all the choices we have, what’s the best solution to go with?

While Google Drive and remaining apart of the Google ecosystem is a great option, I have decided to use Notion. It is a powerful tool where you can upload your information and find it. After all, what’s the point of storage if you can’t find it when you need it?
