For so long, all I ever knew was the work life. That was the most important thing. Circumstances have changed, and my outlook on my career and work life have also. It wasn't just "I became a mom"'; it couldn't be that because it felt a little more complicated. It was a little saddening, so … Continue reading New Outlook

Poshmark Tip: Scammers
When it first started, it was so easy to identify spam on Poshmark. It would be a strange profile that was obviously a bot. It then evolved to requesting to contact via email, even offering more money to do an outside transaction. The scamming has since evolved to stealing a user photo and creating an … Continue reading Poshmark Tip: Scammers
Travel Diaries: The Incident
I walked up to the storefront ahead of my group with a bit of excitement. The sign mentioned The Philippines, and it looked like a restaurant. At least that's what I thought.

Kindness Challenge Week 6: Kindness without Expectation
This week's challenge asks that you choose kindness without expecting anything in return. I have actually been doing this for a while. My father taught me this lesson at a very young age. He told me that to being kind includes doing or acting in a manner where you don't naturally expect anything in return. … Continue reading Kindness Challenge Week 6: Kindness without Expectation
Postpartum Win!
It's been a while since I reported on my PPD / PPA experience. It may seem that I'm completely recovered. That's almost accurate. I have indeed gained a lot of confidence as a mother, and a lot of things no longer bother me like they used to. I've definitely come a long way. Yesterday, I … Continue reading Postpartum Win!
