7 Reasons Why You Should Be You
Take a moment, look into the mirror and be completely honest here. Are you really being true to yourself or do you allow outside influencers to tell you who they think you are or who you need to be? Do you truly know yourself from the inside and out? If not, then it's time you set the stage, lay out some boundaries for yourself and stick with them always. There's no reason whatsoever to become what others want you to be. You need to live and breathe only for yourself and no one else. You also need to establish your own path and not become distracted by the outside world. The real you is the best you.

5 Reasons Why You Should Be Cooking More at Home
Home is where the heart is and so should your eating be. Over the years including this one, I have taken a few moments throughout the week and would just grab a bite to eat at my local fast food drive-thru or local take-out restaurant especially during my work lunch hour. Why? Because I felt it was easier, quicker and would also spice up my food palette a little bit if I ate more food with different ingredients in it than what I had in my refrigerator (at least so I thought). But since I've been on work furlough for the past few months AND was on previously work-from-home status due to COVID-19, I've realized that the only way I'm going to learn how to cook better and save more money is simply by taking more time out and consistently cook from home instead of letting everyone else cook for me everywhere else.
