Talking Out of Turn

The holiday season is finally here! As you’re running around looking for gifts, you’ll likely notice how your loved ones each fit into different categories. From your college friend who lived off ramen and now runs a food blog to your mom who lives for funny cat pics, we all have our thing. Pencil Pouches Chances are you probably know someone who has it all together—almost to an annoying level. They have a list for everything, and everything always has to be just so to keep it on schedule. Even though it can be a joyful headache to travel with them, they keep the trip in line. This holiday season, here are a few fun, cute gifts to celebrate their dedication to organization. All the Small Things Earbuds, lip gloss, bobby pins—what do all of these have in common? They love to wander off just when we need them most. Lost in-between car seats. Lost at the bottom of a tote bag. Just plain lost everywhere—it can be a real vibe killer.

Summer is over! Chances are you’ve already put away your flippy floppies and sunnies in favor of flannels and ankle warmers. When we were kids, there was like no worse feeling than seeing back to school ads come on TV. It signaled the beginning of the end—the forlorn conclusion to the best time of the year and the beginning of school.  If you still have those thoughts about fall, remember that you’re grown up!

Here are some of the super fun things you get to look forward to doing this fall. It’s a Pumpkin Spice Kinda Life Might as well get this one out of the way. For at least the last few years or so, pumpkin spice has been inescapable in the fall, and we’re not even mad about it. From pumpkin spice cookies, candles, pumpkins, and the legendary pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice is everywhere...

How often do you spend a day just for yourself? No, those 30 seconds of deep breathing in the elevator aren’t enough! You wouldn’t want your mechanic to spend just 30 seconds tuning up your car, right? Well, your body and your mind need maintenance too. So you—yes, you—should spend more time on yourself. Even the most selfless people need to be selfish from time to time, and that’s what self-care Sunday is all about.  Yes, It’s Really All About You Being “selfish” turns off a lot of people, and for the most part, that’s good! We never want to be seen as selfish, but a little dash of selfishness is necessary for self-care. Are you a nicer person to be around before or after your morning coffee? How about on 4 hours sleep versus 8 hours? You bring more to the table when you take care of yourself first. Give yourself permission to cut in line and put yourself first on Sunday. Monday morning you will thank Sunday you for it! Take a Social Media Break Instagram, F...
