Products I’m Loving This Month

Viva Bertolli’s and bring Tuscany to your Table

It seems as though each and every month I get busier and busier. I’m grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way and the ability to grow in my field and follow my dreams. Often times when you become so busy trying to get ahead in life you lose focus of the little things around you and forget how to just be still and live in the moment. Usually at night it’s hard for me to turn my mind off and then when I finally sleep it’s only to wake with thoughts of everything that I need to…

Don’t Let Your Breath Ruin First Impressions.

This is a sponsored post. I received LISTERINE® Brand products from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. and Socialstars as part of my participation in this project. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own. #Listerine As a Ph.D. candidate, I find that I’m always talking to someone about my research. These conversations are never simple, as I usually have to find ways to break down what I’m working on in such a way that a lay person (someone who is not in the science field) will understand it. I also present my research at tons of conferences,…

Plus it doesn’t help that when I do finally go to bed my mind just doesn’t want to turn off.   Overworking yourself can take a huge toll on your body both physically and mentally. Pretty soon those signs will start…

Why I don’t Sacrifice Comfort for Fashion.

I like to describe my fashion style as Cute and Comfortable. In my head, it doesn’t make any sense to walk around in shoes that require you to surgically remove your baby toe in order for them to fit.  Admittedly, there were many nights back in college where I found myself doing the “pigeon” walk because my feet hurt so bad after wearing shoes that were too cute not to wear with my outfit, but after an episode where I lost feeling in my big toe for over a week I learned my lesson big time and swore never to…
