why I wear wired headphones

why I wear wired headphones Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful week. I’m headed to Orlando for back-to-back adventures and will be sure to report back! Check out my IG stories for all the fun. For today’s post, I wanted to chat a bit about headphones. Here I am with my wired headphones, years after the bluetooth options arrived on the scene. In college, I had a bluetooth earpiece (along with everyone else who thought they were cool lol) and used it constantly. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was bad for my brain, and decided to eventually stop using it. I’ve always been wary about phones and bluetooth close to my head, but for convenience, I used Bose sport headphones for years. (I loved these things!!) Over time, I’ve learned more about EMFs and decided to make the swap back to wired headphones a couple of years ago. why I wear wired headphones The Wired vs. Wireless Debate Wireless headphones, like Air Pods, have become extremely popular, but wired headphones still ...

How to read more

How to read more Sharing some tips on how to read more if that’s one of your goals! Hi friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. What were you up to? We met with friends for sushi, celebrated the Pilot and P’s birthdays with family (we’ll be out of town for their actual birthdays), and had the usual ballet and basketball combo. I also got some time in my sauna blanket – it went from being 105 last weekend to FREEZING this weekend! For today’s post, I wanted to chat a bit about reading. A couple of years ago, I made a goal to read more often. It’s one of my favorite hobbies, but I wasn’t dedicating much time to reading. I’d read maybe a book each month but was so caught up in work, mom life, and chores that I couldn’t imagine reading more than that. I started making a conscious effort to dedicate more time towards reaching and was able to read 3-5 books per month. Maybe one day I’ll take reading content photos in mismatched comfies and a weird bun 😉 Lately, I’ve gotten back in...

Breaking Discovery: Scientists Uncover Two Surprising Age Spikes in Aging! Aging is inevitable part of life, but new research has uncovered a fascinating twist: there are two specific ages when the aging process spikes up significantly.

Let’s dive into this revolutionary discovery that could change our understanding of aging, health and longevity. Aging Spikes Explained Aging is not just a gradual process; it can have sudden accelerations due to shifts in our biology. Recent studies have pinpointed ages 34 and 60 as crucial moments when our body experiences dramatic physiological changes. These shifts can be traced to changes in metabolism, hormones, and cellular processes, impacting everything from skin elasticity and muscle tone to energy levels and cognitive function.

Abercrombie Fall Fashion Finds

Abercrombie Fall Fashion Finds Sharing some of my favorite fashion finds from Abercrombie! Hi friends! How are ya? I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I have another day stacked full of appointments and calls. I’m hoping I can sneak in a yoga class this afternoon. For today’s post, I wanted to share some recent Abercrombie finds!! TBH, Abercrombie has been cruuuussshhhiinggg it lately. It’s funny because the other night, we were talking about old jobs and how I used to work at Abercrombie in college. (At one point, I had four jobs: fragrance rep at Dillard’s, Abercrombie, Victoria’s Secret, and teaching dance classes.) He was like, “Whatever happened to Abercrombie?” and I informed him that they made the most strategic move ever: marketing towards moms who used to shop there in high school and college. They’re really elevated their pieces and give more of a Reformation-ish vibe. Everything I’ve bought from Abercrombie recently has fit well and has exceptional quality for the cost...
