How To Love Yourself: 6 Tips
I never truly understood why self love was so important until I was in my last relationship. Until I met my previous boyfriend, I gave everyone my everything. But I always felt empty in my friendships and relationships. I poured into them, and even though they were pouring into me, I felt as if I had a hole in my heart. I never figured out what that hole was, until I met my boyfriend. From the moment he met me, he knew that there was something missing in my life, he knew that hole was there; even though for years I was able to mask it from everyone else. It took him a while to actually figure out what was missing, and ever since he showed me that I needed to start loving myself first, my life was forever changed.

Even though there’s been a 600% increase in people identifying as vegans in the U.S in the last three years, some people continue to be somehow skeptical about removing all animal products from their diets.

4 Essential Oils That Can Help You Treat Anxiety
Anxiety and stress have become something I hear of more often as I get older. Life starts to happen and before you know it, we start to worry about rent, money, jobs, relationships, health, family, and everything in between. Just thinking about it made me feel a little overwhelmed and I find myself taking deep breaths to come back to center. To some people, balancing all of that feels a little easier and more natural, but to some it can be very stressful and often leads to anxiety attacks and getting stuck from feeling overwhelmed. I have found myself in that position many times, but have also felt relief when I control my thoughts and it’s an incredible feeling! I have a few techniques that help me relax and clear my head, including the use of essential oils. Essential oils have been used for centuries for their medicinal properties and my favorite time to use them is when I need to slow down. You can apply them topically (diluted in a carrier oil first) or put a few drops of oil in a diffuser. You can also smell them straight from the bottle.
