non-toxic candle round up

i don't know about you, but i have been burning candles like a fiend now that i am at home 24/7. recently, there have been studies and articles released about the harmful ingredients in candles and the potential impact those ingredients have on our health.  as someone who has made the switch to non-toxic cleaning and self-care products, i wanted to share some of my favorite non-toxic, sustainable, ethically sourced candles for your burning pleasure. 

food diaries: my go-to breakfast

this quarantine has allowed me to spend more creative time in the kitchen. every single day, i allow myself to experiment with the food i already have in my kitchen (#usewhatyouhave!) and find joy in the things i'm cooking. i have been making a variation of this breakfast for a week or so now and have fallen head over heels in love with it. i made this morning it for my boyfriend and he said it was "sooooooo good." score!

what i made in march

i have been on quite the cooking and baking journey recently. it was a personal goal of mine to learn to cook more things outside my comfort zone, and it's a resolution i've happily stuck to almost every night. now that we are staying (and cooking more!) at home, i figured i would share some of the yummy things i made in march.

practicing patience and empathy for educators in times of uncertainty

naturally, we are all on our phones way more than we were before COVID19 struck. i usually limit my social media consumption to only one app (instagram!) but have been scrolling through twitter more and more. the other day, i stumbled upon this tweet about online school and it completely broke my heart. the tweet reads "just cancel school cause this online thing not finna work out." i figured, as an educator, i would share my two cents on why tweets like are incredibly inconsiderate to educators worldwide.
