*all images from Pinterest* You can love your pet with your whole heart, but it doesn’t mean that what you are doing might be negatively affecting them!! One: so many people get breeds of dogs that they have no way of or no intention of filling their energy and mental needs. Certain breeds (m

When buying products, I try my best to look into certain aspects that I know fit what I want my lifestyle to be. I focus on buying brands with sustainable practices as well as those that are leaping bunny cruelty-free, as I care for the environment and do NOT condone animal testing of any sort.

I’ve worked as a kennel tech at a boarding facility for four and a half years now, and I can think of at least four dogs I’ve met with each of these names (usually more!!) Each breed or size of dog tends to have particular names associated with them. Teddy is popular with yorkies, toy poodles, and

Since my senior semester of undergrad is coming to a close, I’m looking into whittling down my TBR for this summer and choosing some books that I either already have on my shelves or ones that I’ve been wanting for a long time. As an English major, I’m honestly embarrassed to say that I don’t rea

The new year is always the perfect time to start looking inward and making yourself into the person you want to be. In the first month of 2026, I’ve started focusing on a few new things in my life as well as making older practices come to the forefront of my list. #yearofprogress #embracevul

*all images are from Pinterest* Now, I have different reasons for not wanting to buy from each of these companies, and while sometimes it can be unavoidable if you need something specific, I feel as though all of these are fairly easy to avoid. ❌Starbucks: they constantly fight with their wo

This is the second part of dogs I would own but it’s been a while since I made the first part, so if you want to see it, you might have to scroll for a bit 🐶Dobermans: they are just the biggest babies in the world! I’ve never met one that’s aggressive and they absolutely love people. Very easily

Now, this is not a blanket statement! Not everything I say in this post applies to every person and no group is a monolith, but it is a general trend that I have noticed in both my personal life as well as on the internet. Before you get mad at me, cool your jets. This is not a dig at anyone or a

I’ve gathered a few things from Pinterest that I’ve been OBSESSED with lately 😍 🏡porch swing: I can just see myself drinking my morning coffee here on a spring/summer morning when it’s still slightly foggy outside as the sun comes up. 🏡decorated pathways: These also seem like a great way to us

All of these were staples in my home growing up! Honestly, I got hungry just making this, especially when thinking about venison jerky and the summer veggie plates!! 🥰 #southernfood #northcarolina #southern #appalachia #culture

Here are some of the things that I’m planning on asking for this year! I try to ask for things that are practical or that I know I’ll use. I try not to lean into consumerism and the Christmas season is no exception. Most of these things would be replacing old items that are no longer usable or get

I like to think I listen to a bit of everything, but I definitely find these artists in multiple of my daily playlists. HM: Jimmy Buffet HM: Johnny Cash HM: Creedence Clearwater Revival Who do you listen to daily? #favoritemusic #music #folk #indie #indiemusic

I feel like my home gets misrepresented in most popular media and especially in online spaces. Not everything is as it seems, and there is always nuance to be discussed and taken into account when talking about large cultural regions such as Appalachia! These mountains hold so much more than they

It’s perfectly fine if you like these breeds, but they don’t exactly fit in what I want for my life! I’m pretty picky with the breeds that I would consider getting, but that’s okay because I know my lifestyle and what temperament/energy level works best for me. 🐶 Boxers: these goofballs are lik

As a current student at UNCW, I have seen so much misinformation surrounding the current issues surrounding our campus. The past few days, an incident with the spirit rock outside of the student union has gained national attention which has lead to threats on students and staff, contributing to

As we enter into the colder months, I think we’ll see a return of 2000s-esque fashion trends! If the main character in a fall Hallmark movie would wear it, it’ll be added to my Pinterest board. Most of these pieces (or something similar) are probably in plenty of people’s closets, so why not di

If you’re considering getting a puppy from a breeder to complete your family, it’s always best to know what business you would be supporting by doing so. You wouldn’t want to give your money to a business that abuses its dogs, would you? Backyard breeders and puppy mills do just this. They often h

Okay… I might have had a stroke of genius with some of these! 🥰🤭 This list has a bit of something for everyone, but I chose to focus mostly on friend duos rather than couples. Most of these duos are from childhood media, which brings in the flavor of nostalgia, plus I feel like they’re niche eno
