Read Harder

By -
When it comes to reading, I spend way more time on children's literature. Adult and young adult books, not to much. This year I plan on doing two things when it comes to my year long book list. Read more adult material and read harder. And what I mean by reading harder is not picking out the usual pretty cover chick-lit paperback or bestsellers but substantial books. I'm not a sci-fi person and I'm just now starting to get into essays and short stories. Book Riot and the New York Public Library are the best places to find these read harder kind of lists. So I'm hoping to pass along this intention of skirting past the bestsellers and find something that you would not ordinarily pick up. Happy Reading!

But I'm addicted, the need to know is just part of me (and most millennials). This perpetual state of curiosity is at the core of my foundation. So the fact that information is so easily accessible and that I have this …

Every year for the last four or five years I work on an action plan as opposed to declaring a new year resolution. I no longer create resolutions, not because I can't finish or see something through but I like the more simplistic ideas of Hygge, Lagom, Lykke or Ikigai. Less technology, being outside more, living for each moment and learning to take better care of myself and the world. Which leads me into my first small action of the month. Now that I'm officially in my thirties, I want to make my health a priority. Cancer is my future so as long as I can avoid getting it early, I want to be as healthy as I can and that starts with my diet, my lifestyle and my skin. 2017 seemed to be the year of irritated skin for me! I realized I needed to up my game with skin care products, mostly dermatologist approved or organic brands. If anyone has recommendations for dry and sensitive skin I would love to hear your stories, your input and suggestions when it comes to taking care of your…
