And no it does not count towards not spending any more money because it’s an *experience* and it’s getting me out of the house and socializing which I desperately need 😌

If you're curious about terms like ‘erythema’ or ‘pantothenic,’ they might seem unrelated to arts and crafts, but knowing such terms can be useful if you’re exploring different topics or health-related crafts. Erythema refers to redness of the skin caused by irritation or inflammation, while pantothenic relates to vitamin B5, essential for skin health and energy metabolism. Engaging in a hobby like stained glass not only stimulates creativity but also encourages mindfulness and relaxation, which benefit overall wellbeing. Sharing these hobbies with others creates a social environment that combats isolation, an important aspect in today's busy world. For beginners thinking of starting stained glass or similar arts, it’s helpful to look up tutorial videos and community forums online to connect and learn from experienced crafters. Remember, the goal is to enjoy the process and the personal growth it brings, not just the final product.

How Long Does It Take To Manifest?

Have you ever caught yourself asking, "Why is my dream taking so long?" I used to think the same thing. I’d wonder if I was doing something wrong, if the universe forgot about me, or if I just wasn’t "meant" to have what I wanted. But then I learned something that changed

Several camera lenses, including one with 'Canon' branding, are stored inside a clear plastic container. The image features the question 'Does gear really matter?' overlaid, discussing the importance of equipment for content creation.

A camera lens, lens caps, and a lens mount adapter are displayed on a patterned surface. Text highlights 'The essentials' like good lighting and audio, and 'Downsides of not having decent gear' such as frustration and easy breakage.

A furry microphone, a camera lens, and a mechanical keyboard are arranged on a desk. The text discusses 'Having decent gear,' noting it can make things easier but also be overwhelming, leading to underutilization or not shooting content.

Does gear really matter?

Some days I want to say no, gear does not matter at all. But it’s not that simple. If you only have your phone to make content for example, (which many people do and build careers off of!) then you should be set and nobody would want to buy a dedicated camera. It just doesn’t make sense at that poi

Long story short… NO! At least in my program, in order to pass our classes we need to get a 70% or higher on every exam. To be honest, one year into my program. I have not checked my GPA once. As long as I am consistently passing my exams , in the end, I know that my grade average will not matte

Does sleep training make you a bad mom?

Sleep training vs co-sleeping has parents divided. A lot of parents will argue that one is safer than the other, and a lot of parents will get judged for doing one and not the other. Before we get into it, what’s the difference? Sleep training is basically letting the baby “cry it out”
