I am on a forever quest to improve my routines & make my life a liiiittle better. Over the years I have found staples & implemented habits that I am completely obsessed with (like lymphatic drainage massages, Dieux & Primally Pure skincare, Branch Basics for cleaning, etc.). Tbh, it feels
Growing up in a Latin household, my family emphasized several hacks to save money. My uncle is a YouTube-certified mechanic & can change the oil on any car, my mom would wake up early to make us burritos for travel days, & my grandma would sew my hand-me-downs so they’d

While I do not have diagnosable anxiety, I do frequently have feelings of anxiousness that cause frequent worry, comparison, & overwhelm. It’s been something I’ve been trying to address for years, & I think that I finally have found some tools to help! They’ve been so big for me that
