Today was hard… probably one of the most upsetting days in my nine months of working as a college counselor. Today I read two extremely offensive essays from my students back-to-back. For those of you who didn’t already know, I work as a college counselor in Beijing, and my job is to help Chinese high […]
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info. I’ve been promising for months now that I’m going to write about my Diva Cup for travel.

Both times I tried to learn to surf, I’ve failed miserably. The first was in Florida, where my friend basically left me to teach myself. Not only did I almost drown, I also got hit in the face with my own surfboard. Not a great start… The second try was a slight improvement. I took […]
I read a lot of blogs.. I mean, a lot. Every morning I wake up, make coffee and read the latest posts from my favorite bloggers. I use this really handy site called Bloglovin’, which acts as an RSS feed to keep track of all your favorite blogs. I have them send me one compact email every day […]
