The history of tea spreads across many cultures over the span of thousands of years. Beginning as a medical remedy, tea has many uses and millions of drinkers per year. Tea has been a staple in my life since my mom got me to drink it in middle school. My favorite thing about it is […]
Recently, some friends helped me find a great way to jump-start spring and I would love to share that with you! Like I mentioned in the blog a few weeks ago, one way to cure end-of-winter cabin fever is to pick up a new hobby. I personally discovered a new love for growing and maintaining […]
As stated in a previous blog, JAcKD UP is a social enterprise that our dear friends started, and that we most definitely endorse! Since we were so intrigued with the construction of their growing enterprise, Emma and I had the pleasure to sit down with Jane Kardotzke and Jennifer Kash to discuss the raw beauty […]
Apologies for the shorter post today!

One of my favorite tags on Pinterest for a very long time was the “simplicity” tag. It was filled with useful monthly decluttering challenges, stark Scandinavian interiors, and sweet quotes. Recently, while scouring the tag for inspiration for last week’s post, I realized the tag has become cluttered with angry quotes, “stuff shaming” articles, and […]
Living in on-campus housing means lots of things; new friends, close living quarters, and definitely lots of laughter. But it also comes with questionable bathroom situations, leaky water fountains, and sickness that can spread like wildfire. Perhaps the worst of them all is–you guessed it–the dining halls.
