September 17, 2013 by Alanna 1 Comment

Apologies for using this space as my personal dumping ground lately, but please just listen...K? I'm the kind of person that is very affected by my surroundings.

APP OF THE WEEK: Just-Eat

September 17, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

September 17, 2013 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Cravings are mysterious and powerful things.

One “Sweet” Noodle Pudding

September 15, 2013 by Cayla 1 Comment

So yesterday was Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. For most people, this entails fasting for 24 hours in order to reflect on the year behind us and the year that lies ahead.

September 13, 2013 by Nancy Leave a Comment

This hit me like a brick wall: Depression isn't feeling sad when everything is going wrong. Depression is  feeling sad when everything is going right.  This video is worth your time.
