Don’t mess up when you dress up

None of this information is meant to scare you into being too afraid to experience or celebrate other cultures. But buying a $50 Native American polyester costume off spirithalloween.com is not the way to accomplish that.

Making Your Screen Time a Little Greener

As a college student during a pandemic, I spend increasingly more time online. I spend so much time on my school days studying and taking classes on a laptop, relaxing on my phone (hello, impulsive online shopping), looking up homework help and texting classmates about my struggles. Knowing that so many other people are in similar situations, I’m so excited to share a few of my favorite environmentally-conscious apps and websites. These apps and websites help to make my numerous hours of staring at a computer and my love for online shopping friendlier to the planet, as well as make me feel a little better about my weekly screen time notifications!

I have been making those changes, and this last week I have made what I feel to be one of the biggest changes in my lifestyle: I tried a menstrual cup.

Do this justice some justice

Ruth was a warrior for change. Let a piece of her live on in you by registering to vote, actually voting, staying informed, staying passionate and staying on the side of what you believe is right.

Sustainable Brands for Athletes

Growing up as an athlete was always tasking. Your body is constantly asking more from you, and you’re doing the best you can to treat it with patience and kindness. You train for hours on end to get one play right. It’s a constant go-go-go with little time to recover.
