There's something beautifully underrated about sitting down with a coffee alone. No meetings, no multitasking, no small talk. Just you, your cup of choice, and a little slice of calm. If you've ever felt awkward sitting in a cafe and sipping solo, or you weren't sure what to do with yourself while sipping a latte in peace, you're not alone.

I've put together a shortlist of how to truly enjoy a coffee alone without feeling out of place or constantly reaching for Continue reading...

Tips for the Recently Unemployed
Like many other people in the United States, I have been recently laid off. It happened about a month ago. I had started a normal Friday morning, and before I knew it, I was invited into a meeting with my direct supervisor and an HR representative. In a few minutes, my job as a content writer—one that I enjoyed and was very devoted to—was gone. At least, I consoled myself after the meeting, I didn't burst into tears immediately; instead I was steely and held myself together. (Yay, me!) Getting laid off can be difficult, and not just because you've lost a source of income. Losing a job can Continue reading...

Planting Spring Bulbs in Planters
Happy Sunday! I can't believe that Halloween and the end of October are almost here! This past weekend, I took some time to get some spring bulbs planted. Spring Bulbs in Planters Earlier this month, Longfield Gardens had a sale, so I purchased 100 tulip bulbs, 100 daffodil bulbs and 50 crocus corns in bulk. Yesterday, I decided to start planting them!
