3 Principles of a Productive Morning Routine
The one thing that bugs me about any productive morning routine type article I come upon online is how robotic it seems. It’s based on the idea that my perfect morning routine is the same as yours.

I am Pregnant and I Feel Miserable.
There, I said it – I am feeling sad during pregnancy, and that’s okay. I am writing this after a crying fit, and I just feel so tired, sad, and miserable. I’ve been on bed rest for almost 20 days, and it’ll last for at least two more months. I feel so useless, just capable […]
5 Apps That Help Me Stay Mindful and Live Intentionally
Today I’ll be listing 5 free mindfulness apps worthy of your attention.

Do You Know What You Want In Life?
I love Pinterest, with its pretty visuals and the amount of personal development pins it offers. But while I see plenty of them aimed at helping people reach their goals, I noticed a staggering lack of helpful tips for those who don’t know who or where they want to be in a year, let alone […]

A week ago, my gynecologist “sentenced” me to absolute bed rest during pregnancy – at least for the next 15 days. I say sentenced because bed rest – proper bed rest – literally means you get up to pee and take a shower. That’s it! And while I wasn’t super active to begin with, I […]

In the beginning of this week, my gynecologist prescribed bed rest and progesterone-based pills to me, due to my cervix being some 5mm shorter than it should be at this point. While my husband got very scared, I didn’t – I understood we caught it early on, and I firmly trust that if I obey […]
