My Self-Care is Taking Care of My Family
“Self-care.” That’s a hot topic here in 2022. I just heard someone say it on a commercial during the Pelicans/Bulls games I’m watching. It’s funny how I get ideas for a new blog simply by hearing a phrase or seeing a commercial.

Pick Up A New Hobby To Help Improve Your Mental Health
A fantastic technique to help with enhancing your general mental health and well-being is by taking up a new pastime. There are many benefits to having a hobby, but for many people, the health advantages rank first. Hobbies come in a variety of sizes and shapes. They could be artistic, academic, physical, or simply unwinding. Despite the fact that it's not always easy to find spare time during the day, maintaining good mental health can be made easier by the many various activities and hobbies we can incorporate into our everyday life. However, during these rare moments when you are free from your regular responsibilities, you may have the chance to engage in things that you actually like. A hobby is more than just something you do for yourself; it's something you put time and effort into because it makes you happy and sparks your interests.

Grief
My husband is dead. I say that as much for myself as I say it for you, dear reader. I still have to remind myself. It’s been very nearly a month. Both the longest and shortest month of my life. Time no longer seems linear—I just float around inside the days and bump from one moment to the next.

Negativity Killing My Vibe
Everyone says that America has bad reputation for new immigrants. My husband because of his skin tone he fears he will be beaten and killed by corrupted police, and government officials in power. Yet he is willing to put his fears aside to make sure we can both have a good life in America. His fears are common though racism is everywhere.

How MyFitnessPal Ruined My Relationship With Food
TW: calories, disordered eating, body dysmorphia. I started as a casual gym-goer. I experimented with weights, finished with cardio. Within a month, I bought my first bag of protein powder. At this stage, I decided to read up on how to maximise my gym performance. During my research, all the articles I read and videos I watched emphasised how the right diet was vital to advance in the gym. There were numerous recommendations for MyFitnessPal, an app that tracks diet and exercise. I downloaded it, keen to understand my food intake better.

I Decolonized My Diet for Black History Month
Last Black History Month, I searched the term decolonize on Instagram and came across accounts like @decolonizemyself, @decolonizeyourbookshelf, and the term decolonized diet, coined by author Devon Abbott Mihesuah in her 2020 book Recovering Our Ancestors’ Gardens. It means eating how Indigenous and Black people ate prior to colonialism and has become something of a social movement; the #decolonizeyourdiet hashtag appears in more than 15,000 Instagram posts. Prior to last February’s deep dive, I hadn’t realized the extent to which Western European staples—from ketchup to mustard and hamburgers to pasta—determined not only what I chose to eat but also what I chose to read and the products I used on my skin and hair. As an African American woman, it got me wondering what it would be like to return to my roots and consume food sans Western European influence.

What to Do With That Turkey Carcass
The last lingering relatives have returned to the land whence they came, you’ve enjoyed the last slice of apple pie with your morning coffee, and once-proud Tom—now a shambles of bone, gristle, and dangling ribbons of skin—is taking up half the refrigerator. (Vegan friends, you may wish to bow out at this point. May I recommend 7 Hacks for a Very Vegan Holiday Feast?) Good environmentalist that you are, you don’t want to let any remaining nutritiousness go to waste, do you? Especially not when 50 million of your neighbors are food-insecure. Also, your holiday-jangled nerves probably need coddling. They need turkey soup.
