    Apps for depression/anxiety and growth

    I have struggled with anxiety/depression for a few years, and it tends to slowly seep in and fade out of my life that it’s really hard to know what causes my ups and downs.

    Skin care routine

    I loveeee having a skin care routing that is simple and effective. I use baby oil to remove mascara, natural African Black Soap every night (no harsh cleansers that make my skin burn), slather on a decent amount of unprocessed shea or cocoa butter, and dab pimples with a small bit of spot...

    Self Confidence

    I sometimes catch myself getting really down on myself about my skills and my perceived inherent value, and it can start to feel really toxic and hard to get out of.

    Coping with putting a dog down

    I understand where you're coming from. It's especially hard when you have to witness your pet go through a slow health decline. My own Labrador was having breathing problems for a really long time. When she could no longer walk the entire route of her beloved 2x daily walk, much less go on trail...
