Just kidding. Check out any headline or click-bait and you’ll see numbers attached. People seem to like when things are broken down into bite-sized chunks. And numbered. But 467? Seriously? That’s crazy. I’m pretty sure a professional could describe brain surgery or rocket science in that many steps. That’s not advice, that’s one more distraction.…

The Liebster Award is a peer award for Bloggers by Bloggers. I’m proud to be kicking off my new year with a nomination! Thank you Caffeinated Writer, Danielle!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! And welcome to 2016. In light of the new year, I’d like to suggest a few things we leave behind. I’m not sure when (or why) we decided to get so familiar with bodily excretions, but I think it’d be good to leave the expressions, “I threw up a little in my…

I run my life by the breakdown. If I need a new pair of shoes, well, I need a new pair of shoes. Can’t not have shoes, right? But how much will I spend for what I’ll get? First of all, I’m not a shoe person. I have no fetish, no style, no use for…
