Restaurant Style Pasta with Three Cheese Sauce Recipe — Easy, Gluten Free, and Delicious
I debated whether or not to post this recipe here on my blog, because, quite frankly, it is not frugal. But… now that I came clean about having mental health issues, I can also explain some other stuff, and now it’ll make sense. I’ve been trying to do a lot of self care for myself, to […]
Breaking The Stigma on Mental Health Counseling
I had planned on writing this post already a few weeks, ago, and then with the recent high profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, the topic seemed even more timely than before. I read this piece that said that Kate Spade’s death reminds us that we really need to destigmatize mental health issues, […]
Save Money on Amazon with DealGoGoGo

Homemade Cashew Based Hummus Recipe — Paleo, Vegan, and Easy
I’m a big fan of hummus, but as they like to say, it isn’t a fan of me. My body can’t tolerate any legumes, even if they’re soaked, fermented, sprouted, you name it, and the standard hummus is based on chickpeas, one of those legumes that I can’t eat. I’ve mentioned before how much I […]

An Update and Some Latest Frugal Escapades
Sorry I haven’t posted the past few days. So I wanted to update you with what’s been going on in my life. I’ve been working on a really cool blog post about something I’m passionate about (take a guess in the comments below what it is) but it’s taking a lot of mental power and […]
When Your Therapist Prescribes Self Care
Last month, I had a really interesting and insightful interview with my friend Daniella about her experiences in therapy, and I mentioned there how much I support going to therapy.
