3 easy ways to incorporate wellness, as a Beginner

With the rising trends such as skin care, going natural - for beauty and food, and mindfulness, it can be confusing to know how and when to start. With people who have entire social media accounts towards this movement, getting started or involved can seem overwhelming.

1. Detox, reset, and relax

Even the options within this seem endless - between candles, cleanses, crystals and essential oils, it's hard to know where to begin. The easiest way is to just...pick one. The first one I tried was essential oils, and I was able to learn quite a lot. For example, peppermint and tangerine oil and aromatherapy can energize you, while nutmeg oil/aroma fights fatigue and can help you focus. Diffuse, sniff from a bottle, or put on your pulse points for an extra jolt whenever you need it.

2. Think positive!

There are many ways to get into practice with this, such as disconnecting from technology, spending time with loved ones, and exercising and staying hydrated.

3. Don't overdo it - and do it for YOU

As I mentioned, some of this stuff can add up in price and effort, and with social media, it always seems like someone is doing it better - but just for the likes. At the end of the day, you're the one that supposed to gain something from this experience. So, try to take a deep breath and remember that you can incorporate little steps instead of plunging yourself straight into the wellness journey.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
