As the days begin to wane, the sun setting earlier on late summer nights, gaze up into the night sky. Stars, yes...so much more exists beyond this earth. Maybe you know what you’re looking at, and maybe you don’t. Stargazing is an awe-inspiring and humbling way to spend your summer – or winter! – nights.
Aaah, it’s June. By the way, that was a sigh of pure relief. I can already feel the relaxation settling into my soon-to-be well-rested bones. June is such a surprisingly pleasant month for numerous reasons—my absolute favorite reasons are because the weather is just dreamy, and this month marks the start of summer. To kick off your fabulous summer with your fabulous loved ones, be sure to immerse yourselves in some (or all) of these totally June-tastic activities.
The holiday season is upon us, which means guests will be arriving any minute now.

Plus, if you’re planning on doing any gift giving, the expenses can really add up fast.

As a citizen of this world and member of society, it is highly likely that you have felt wronged by someone before.

Because of the generosity my family and friends extended to me after I finally graduated college, I was able to go on a 10-day trip to Dominical, Costa Rica, with my boyfriend.

At the time I was a recent college grad with no money except for what I made at the restaurant where I work... wait, that’s still me, haha.
While looking at the overgrown parts of my vegetable garden, I felt a combination of regret and amazement. Regret because I have obviously been neglecting the garden, hence the overgrown weeds, grasses, and vegetable plants that have flowered and gone to seed. However, I was also amazed because I could still harvest quite a lot from it.
