Notifications, news headlines, and social media updates flooded my mind before I had taken a single conscious breath. The noise of the world attracted my attention before I had connected with my own

Between graduate school, work, family, personal goals, and everything in between, it is easy to feel like you are running on empty. A while ago, this never-ending hustle began to take a toll, not
As someone who loves starting my day with a warm cup of green tea, I have come to appreciate the profound impact it has on both my physical and mental wellness. Green tea is packed with antioxidants, offering a natural energy boost without the jitters associated with coffee. I do suggest sipping on it either
