Gymshark modest collection coming soon
I would see Leana Deebs’s fitness content come across my feed every now and again when I was in my peak fitness YouTube era a couple of years ago. She was a gym influencer, following the formula, from the outfits to the “train with me” to the meal prep. Then when she came up again,…

Oh to be consistent
I’m still in the “new year” mindset, possibly fueled by all of the content all over social media pushing me to believe this will be my best year yet. But now two weeks into the new year, it doesn’t feel that way. I started with big scary goals, but the effort to match just isn’t…

The skincare advice I refuse to follow, to my detriment
I don’t know when or why it started, but for some reason I developed a drinking problem. By that I mean I struggle to drink water. It’s so bad that I had to set a goal to consume 16 ounces each day. And even then, I couldn’t do that, knowing full well there are people…

Seeking your disapproval
As a recovering people pleaser, I need to start living a life for me, rather than trying so hard to win people over, or get them to think highly of me, or try to get their approval at all. My resolution for 2025 is to disappoint more people. I need more people to disapprove…

A year of mistakes
I should not have said that to my co-worker. I should not have sent that text. I should have followed the GPS. That was the wrong shade. I am going to be so late now. I made so many mistakes this year. What a successful year. Early this year, I set my resolution to make…

On legacy
The world received news yesterday that former president Jimmy Carter passed away at 100 years old. An entire century of life. Rather than recap a celebration of his life, that you can get at pretty much any news outlet right now, I just want to reflect on the idea of legacy. There are those who…
