It can be really deflating to watch another person across the kitchen table diving into a sizzling cheese pizza. You sit there, eyes glazing over your own salad topped with—surprise—chicken, five strawberries, and a bit of olive oil (You checked your favorite dressing, only to realize it contains milk . . . why??? Who does …
A guest post by Megan Beery of Peach & Poppy Co. I love snail mail. Handwritten letters, postcards, packages, whatever. I love sitting down at my desk in the evening and rambling to a friend on a piece of paper, whether they’re ones I see every week or ones I’ve never met. Writing letters definitely …
Sometimes I need a creative outlet. After a day of doing homework that’s basically FORCED creativity (since I’m a graphic design major), I popped over to a coffee shop to do homework and my friend showed up. I had my camera and it was just perfect for a quick video trailer for the latest magazine …

This post is kind of ironic. It’s been swirling around in my head for a while. I was going to write this epic post about my own journey through health problems; the battle I had when I discovered I needed to go on a gluten-free (carb-free, yummy-free, party-free) diet. How, because my mom was also …
At the beginning of the summer, my mom challenged me to pray for something I desperately wanted. Something which seemed bold and almost impossible. My mind is constantly crammed with pieces of songs, poetry, and glitter, so it’s hard for me to remember to pray . . . even though I want to. I had …
Once upon a time, I thought I was incapable of doing my devotions (in fact, read how I read through the entire OT last year . . . it was a total God thing). Yup, you heard me right. When I went to Christian camp during the summers of 2013 to 2017, I looked around …
This is just such a perfect phrase, amiright?? (Not biased at all) It’s so versatile. Say it To your waiter as you’re leaving the restaurant When you get stopped by a police man for speeding To the person on Etsy whose items you have favorited To your dog To your mom To the sky When …
