During the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, I was living in Central Nebraska. It was the first and only time I never actually took advantage of grocery pick-up ordering; that is, I would order in advance, park at Walmart, and have the staff member put the items into my trunk. Read more
I remember when the FitBit was all the rage — I got one as a Christmas gift along with several other family members. For a minute there, we all competed in these challenges and tried to get to 10,000 steps a day. Nevermind the fact that my wristband broke shortly Read more
For quite some time now, I’ve been trying to figure out how I can get more curls into my hair without having to actually use a curling iron. I’m not great at using a straightener (even with all my years of practice) and I’m even worse at using a curling Read more
