Little ways you're wasting time every day & how to fix them - how to be more efficient // ew & pt

As I was inputting the 10th password guess in an attempt to log into my Twitter account I thought about something: How much time do I waste every day just guessing my damn password? What else am I wasting time on every day that I don’t even realize? Doesn’t all of this add up?

And so this blog post was born. It turns out there’s probably a lot of ways you and I are probably wasting time every single day without even realizing. But a few simple changes could save you a lot of time moving forward.

Here are some little ways you’re wasting time every day and how to fix them.

Quick and easy post-grad full-time working girl makeup routine // ew & pt

Aside from adopting two kittens, one of the most major life changes I’ve experienced recently is starting to work full-time. Gone are the days of chunking all of my classes between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. and having swaths of free time in the afternoon! And I certainly miss those free afternoons. As much as I’m a morning person, I’m such an afternoon person. I love the middle of the day, especially when it’s nice out. There’s nothing quite like it and, now, five out of seven of my afternoons a week are spent in an office at work. Fortunately, I really like my job.

Unfortunately, I miss afternoons. That’s not all that’s changed. Another has certainly been my beauty routine! My makeup set up is now a vanity and lots of storage drawers combination whereas, in college, it was my-entire-desk-top and my top desk drawer. But my routine itself has changed, too.

Here’s how I’ve updated my makeup routine for post-grad, full-time job life.

8 things standing in the way of you finding true love

8 things standing in the way of finding true love - reasons you're not finding love or falling in love

I’m not an expert on love by any means whatsoever. But perhaps my college professor who studied all of this sort of stuff kind of was. One of the few lessons I’ve retained from college (sorry!) is the one about the eight relationship roadblocks. I learned all about them, read about them, memorized them, wrote an essay about them, and I still reference them when giving my friends dating advice. And when giving myself dating advice. They’re more or less the things stopping you from falling in love. Or having a healthy relationship.

They’re pretty legit. So here’s the deal. I’m going to explain these roadblocks in layman’s super basic easy-to-understand- useful terms. And I hope it might help. Here’s what’s holding you back from finding love… or, at the very least, a healthy and happy relationship.

Tarot cards, travel, and trying to figure out what’s next

I’m a cheap bitch. There, I said it! But it fortunately comes with cheap tastes (for some things). My favorite mascara is under $5, my wine of choice is like $6 for a whole bottle, and the sweater I’m wearing cost $15. Because of this, I’m really great at hunting down deals and saving money.
But I also kind of suck at spending it. After about a month, I finally caved and bought myself tarot cards I’d been eyeballing since I first saw them during my trip to Copenhagen. Yes, I caved and spent $16 ($13 because I use cash back like the proud fiscally responsible adult I am now) on tarot cards. And you know what?

It was a friggin great idea.
