    A seemingly universal experience when going away to college is buying a clothes drying rack, and it seems like all the stores promote and sell the same one. In my opinion, there are a lot more options that are regularly stocked or being promoted so I’d like to take you through the clothes drying racks…

    Drinking tea is a game changer, it helps you stay hydrated, it affordably creates fun drinks, and it doesn’t require all the fuss and equipment that coffee does.

    I grew up in a family that didn’t purchase tissues or paper towels. If there was a mess, we grabbed a bunch of towels, older ones for messier messes and if someone was sick and had a cold, we used toilet paper or all of the napkins. And it was fine, I didn’t notice any…

    I am a meal prepper. According to some, I’m an extreme meal prepper. However, there are enormous time, money, and health benefits to prepping meals, although I will admit that sometimes I do crave a little variety on my seventh day.

    Today was the sixth day of eating chicken pot pie for lunch and dinner and I am done. The vegetables have gone soft and crust has reverted back to being uncooked, and overall, it’s unpleasant. However, I still have tomorrow before I go to the store and meal prep for the weekend. The last two…

    When I was younger, I babysat a lot. I had regulars, a job almost, and I was highly recommended. Individuals asked if I could babysit their children around the world and asked if I would essentially be their child’s nanny. I said no to the last two, the first because I didn’t like one of…
