Find The Strengths in Who You Are Right Now

white painted concrete building

We all have strengths and we all love those things about us. I want you to be proud of exactly who you are because you are the best at being you. Yet, in being the best at being ourselves we have to consider what comes with our strengths. If you knew you could leverage your strengths to be a better version of yourself, would you want the opportunity? I’m sure like me, you would. But, to that thought, we aren’t told much about what comes with the things that are our strengths. As many of us know most things come with highs and lows, even our strengths. In this blog, we will refer to the highs of our strengths as balconies and the lows of our strengths as basements. We have to recognize that our strengths have both a high and a low. Understanding this can help us better approach…

Hey there, plant lovers! Are you looking for a new addition to your indoor garden? Look no further than the ZZ plant! This hardy little guy is a must-have for anyone looking for an easy-to-care-for plant that still looks great in any space. So, what’s the deal with ZZ plants? Well, for starters, they’re native to eastern Africa, where they grow in some seriously tough conditions. That means they’re able to handle a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels, making them the perfect plant for busy folks who don’t have time to fuss over their greenery. Another great thing about ZZ plants is that they’re incredibly low maintenance. They don’t need a lot of water, and they can handle low-light conditions like a champ. In fact, too much water or too much sunlight can actually harm these little guys, so it’s best to keep them in a shady spot…

How to Make Easy DIY Poster Frames

I have only been in my new apartment since April (2020) and I am still decorating and arranging. For me, it’s a process. I have to feel the room out, know what I want the vibe to be, and then begin piecing it together. I have a second room that I use for an office. I would like this room to have a really nerdy, man cave kind of look. I eventually plan on building a bed for this room but for now, I am decorating the walls. My friend, Lovely, took me to 5 Below one day and I grabbed a few cool posters. While walking through the checkout line I saw some poster hangers that looked pretty cool but to my surprise, they were $5, which I thought was too much for that item, especially from 5 Below. So, my wheels began to churn. I did a little…

WikiBuy is the GOAT

If you don’t already know, I love a good deal and I especially love an opportunity to make or save some money while I shop. A lot of places are doing cashback on shopping without having a credit card and I LOVE IT. Unfortunately, I bank with Wells Fargo, and we can get into that another time but they have even offered cash back when I shop at certain stores such as Starbucks or even Ulta. But, this is not about Wells Fargo and their cashback, this is about the goat, WikiBuy. My guilty pleasure in the morning is to watch Youtube videos about all kinds of things, science, health, wellness, finance, music, and more. Youtube kept running this ad about WikiBuy, I mean it was on a good chunk of the videos I would watch. So I decided to look into WikiBuy to see what it was. Typically, I…

The PCOS Vitamin That Will Change Your Life Today

black magnifying glass on white and brown marble table

I have been taking birth control since I was in middle school since I was diagnosed with PCOS. When I went away to college, there were waves of times where I did not take it. But, overall, I have taken it my entire life since puberty. Over the last 8 years, I have read about a supplement that is supposed to be the miracle worker of PCOS, inositol. As time went on I read about other supplements that needed to be taken with inositol, such a d-chiro. I initially tried inositol but it did not seem to do much. The doctor eventually gave me Provera which induced a period every month for about 8 months without the need of taking birth control monthly, so I stopped taking the inositol. In 2017, I started birth control and it was the fucking worst! You hear me, the absolute worst! I had breast…

The First Black Woman With PCOS

person holding hands

I discovered I had PCOS at a very young age. I distinctly remember being in elementary school and being extremely hairy, like all over. My mother would simply say that I was born that way, she would make a joke saying she asked the doctor if she gave birth to a monkey because of how hairy I was. As I began to shift into early puberty in late elementary school my body was even hairier than before. I distinctly remember a girl at school asking me how I had hair on my stomach and that her dad had it too. I had hair on my arms, hands, feet, and legs. I remember being so embarrassed by it that I began to shave that part of my stomach, a terrible idea because it is a mess now. Then I started to get a few stray hairs on my neck or chin,…

Setcreasea Plant Bio

What is a Setcreasea? “Setcreasea is a native of central-southern Mexico and makes an easy-to-grow colorful groundcover in each of its several forms. The colorful plants creep along the ground on lax stems and produce small but attractive light lavender, butterfly-attracting flowers. This weeping tendency can be put to good use in the garden if you let your setcreasea cascade over a wall, or plant it in a sloping bed. Setcreasea grows well in sun or part shade, but its coloration is best in full sun. Setcreasea is drought-tolerant, but looks best with regular watering. If your setcreasea gets overgrown, tattered or spindly, don’t hesitate to cut it back. The best time to prune is right after the flowering stops. The purple, deer-resistant leaves of setcreasea pair well with rudbeckia, daisies, daylilies, elephant ears, or any other white/yellow colored perennial. When you’re ready to buy setcreasea (purple heart wandering Jew)…
