I bought this book in October after I saw it at Michaels. I flipped through a couple pages and it seemed interesting and I knew it would probably be really nice to unwind after a long day.

For three years I was a vegetarian and aspiring vegan. Although, as I started high school I found myself with no time to fit everything in. I would love to be vegetarian again, In fact when I make my own meal they are mostly always meatless so there’s only one meal a day I eat with meat and sometimes I opt out of it anyway. It’s not that I really want to hate meats because I want to go around and make others feel bad for being “killers” or whatever […]

I tend to get very caught up in the happenings of my phone. I already keep a couple social media apps off my phone because I know that should I get bored I will spend hours on there doing nothing at all. I saw this book at the library right when lockdown started and figured that since this time of isolation would have me tempted to raid every single social media platform, I should probably make sure I do something other than look at custom built cat trees and tiny […]
