ASMR: My Top Ten Artists
Have you ever heard someone speak and the tone of their voice gave you “brain tingles?” Does watching something mundane like watching someone draw help you to relax? Does binaural whispering make you feel fuzzy all over? This is ASMR: Autonomic Sensory Meridian Response and it is wildly popular. It’s a technical term for the feeling that some people get from aural and/or visual stimuli that causes them to feel levels of euphoria.

A Plant-Based State of Mind
I didn’t think I’d ever partake in the process of writing a blog post in a month of Sundays. I didn’t ever think I’d ever make the gargantuan shift—after 29 years of eating an animal-based diet—towards a plant-based, vegan lifestyle. But 2017 was a year where for me—and no doubt many others on this path—there was a shift in mind, body and soul. So let me try —try being the operative word here—to extol the virtues of this now-mainstream state of being; a way of living that, once an open mind and a glance towards the bigger picture are focused on, will actually leave you thinking "you know what, I sort-of understand it."

What’s It Like to Be an Adult?
"No darling, that's for grownups."I can't pinpoint the exact moment this was said to me for the first time, but I can almost guarantee I was holding a mid 90s Smart Price can of cider...You've probably heard it yourself, whether it's been said to you, for you or by you, we can all agree it's a phrase everybody understands (even if they don't particularly enjoy hearing it..) But what happens when you go from being the stroppy kid in the shop to the onlooking adult paying for a crate of Carlsberg?

What Is a Macro and Why Do I Care?
Whether you're watching your weight or trying to bulk up with muscle, you've probably hit the internet looking for help, suggestions, and information at least once. If your search has been anything like mine, you will have stumbled across something called "Macros." Sometimes called Macronutrients or referred to in a programme called IIFYM (if it fits your macros), I gave a macronutrient diet a go recently with great success.

How To Be A Baddie: Series 2
Finally, we get to the part that you’ve probably been waiting for: the exercise regimen. As a whole, baddies are known for their beautiful hourglass figure: big boobs, little waist, and a round butt. This isn’t true for all baddies however, as most girls usually focus on their legs and behind. The bad news is it’ll take work to get there, but the good news is it can actually be pretty easy once you get into the groove of it all.

Channeling Methods I Can Put Up With
Losing myself to one entity is not my thing. I’m a trance medium, but I do not want to let just any entity take over my body. I think I would rather do the whole channeling my higher self without being taken over. An intuitive hunch about what could or should be done is a way of trance channeling without letting another entity take over. From Edgar Cayce, On Channeling Your Higher Self. Your intuition is part of your guardian angel communicating with you. I tend to listen to this angel a lot having lived by myself two years while retaining my medication consistency. When you channel, you connect to the superconscious, something I need to do around other people.

February/March Post
According to the scale at my job, I am weighing in at 170. That's a small enough margin that it could just be weight fluctuation but it's three pounds lighter than my start in January, so I am optimistic. This month, I really struggled with deciding whether I was going to do another whole body workout plan or start focusing on specific areas (leg day, arm day, core, etc). After going through a ton of different workouts found in Pinterest I have decided to do another whole body workout this month.

The Effects of Long-term Stress on Adolescents
Let's start off by stating what is stress. Stress is a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension. Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by both good and bad experiences. When people feel stressed by something going on around them, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood.
