I wrote a post back in May all about my recent skincare woes. The short version is: I have been struggling with acne and melasma pretty badly for the past few years.

I mentioned before that I'm newly responsible for covering a bunch of tasks for someone who recently left. All in all, it's going okay, but you know how it… Continue reading Today’s thoughts: Work + Health
While I was eating a salad at my desk yesterday afternoon, I read this article called Why You Need a Humor Audit: the Benefits of Laughter. I like humor and I really do love to laugh, so it was intriguing to me. Two "humor experts" are interviewed for the article, and the main premise is… Continue reading Laugh it up!
Yesterday was Day 1 of my trial period of Intermittent Fasting. I mentioned I wanted to try it for at least 4 weeks in 2021.
