Six days ago I made my own coffee for the first time. When I say “made,” I don’t just mean I brewed coffee in a French Press or used magical instant powder. I bought 4 1lb bags of un-roasted washed coffee from the Green Coffee Co. (I was not paid to do this, by the… Continue reading I’ve BEAN Busy (How To Roast Your Own Coffee)

How-To Get Paid To Be Funny
Recently I splurged on a cozy gray oodie, a jug of iced caramel macchiato and a bag of milk chocolate salted cashews with Himalayan pink salt. All of this was completely unnecessary, yet my mental health was beyond thankful. Especially now. I managed to pay for it all and then some by writing two blog… Continue reading How-To Get Paid To Be Funny
How-To Stick To Daily Habits
I have been doing yoga daily for about 4 years now. I have also been journaling for 165 consecutive days and currently I am on a 16-day blogging streak.

How-To Make An Egg-cellent Meal (There Aren’t Any Eggs Involved, I Just Wanted To Use A Food Pun)
Today I was tasked with making dinner and, as someone who’s probably one of the least kitchen-savvy people in all of existence (seriously, left to my own devices I would happily subsist solely on a slice or two of bread with shredded cheese sprinkled on top and then melted in the microwave), I surprised myself… Continue reading How-To Make An Egg-cellent Meal (There Aren’t Any Eggs Involved, I Just Wanted To Use A Food Pun)

How-To Make Coffee-Sushi: Espresso Edition
So, today I made coffee-flavored sushi. 100% fully intentionally. Not because I mistook maple syrup for a concoction of cinnamon and espresso I had made weeks prior as an additive to my morning lattes and the viscosity of it threw me off-guard and I lost control thus spilling nearly half of the whole bottle of… Continue reading How-To Make Coffee-Sushi: Espresso Edition
How-To Start The New Year Right
How’s the first Monday of the year treating you? Personally, it hit me like a truck. I snoozed right through 7 of my alarms (thus already ruining my frankly far too optimistic routine plan for the year), barely flowed through all the poses in my morning yoga practice, and spent the entire day procrastinating grading… Continue reading How-To Start The New Year Right
