Healing Wounds With Manuka Honey

Dealing With Hyperpigmentation

What are hyperpigmentation marks? Oh, how I wish I didn't know. I hadn't heard the word "hyperpigmentation" until I was about 21 and I distinctly remember thinking, "Glad that doesn't happen to my skin." But then in a Odyssey-like spin to thrill the gods, I turned about 25 and bam — I started suffering from acne scarring.   My personal skincare journey has been an interesting one and after years of blogging, I feel like there is a lot of content out there about my struggles with my own...

Living With an ESA 101

When I first got my dog Koda, I knew immediately that I wanted to register her as an Emotional Support Animal. In the year and a half since I went through that process, I have traveled with my ESA on a plane to Puerto Rico, taken her on overnight trips to Vermont, Upstate New York, and Astoria. Now, I have the opportunity of benefiting from the housing accommodations that come with an Emotional Support Animal.   When you register your dog as an Emotional Support Animal, there are...

A Guide to Traveling in Southampton

This summer I got the opportunity to move to the Hamptons and during my stay, I've decided to write up a travel guide. From the end of May to early August, I will be living, working, and writing in Southampton. As a byproduct of my recent move, I'm really hoping to learn more about the famed area and spend more time outdoors exploring what it has to offer.   But for now, I'd like to start with this. I attend grad school in Southampton full-time, so before...

20 Things I Do For My Self-Care Routine

Never underestimate the power of a self-care routine. Over the past year and a half, that has certainly become my motto. When it comes to self-care, the case can be made for literally any activity that makes you feel good, inspired, and refreshed. I get a lot of questions about self-care because I'm always posting about it on Instagram. As my one friend Jesi put it, I "have a different self-care tip like, every day."   What can I say, mental health and my general well-being are...
