The best parts of being a homebody
Life is stressful right now. Everyone is feeling it. The world is basically falling apart, and pretty much the only thing we can do is… nothing.
And isn’t that one of the most frustrating parts about it? One of the best remedies for anxiety is action, but right now the only action we should be taking is staying home, which… doesn’t feel like an action at all.
But the other day I had an epiphany: there is something we can do.
I’m going to preface this post by saying that this content is not inspired by or referencing my current job. So if any of my coworkers are reading this, I’m not talking about you! 😜
We spend about a third of our life at work. With that kind of time investment, you better like your job! Or at least be passably okay with it.
So when you find yourself in an intolerable work environment, what can you do to, well… tolerate it? Because few of us have enough savings to quit without something else lined up (but, you know, #goals), we have to spend at least a little bit of time in this situation before finding something new.
As a blogger, it’s important to keep in mind the content you’re sharing and only write about topics you’re comfortable writing about. It makes sense, then, that some bloggers, while they identify as feminists, don’t want to write about feminism.
This decision could be from a range of reasons, like not wanting to polarize your audience, not feeling confident enough in your feminism journey, or something else entirely.
And no matter your reason, it’s totally okay to be a feminist and not want to write about feminism. Your decision is personal, and it’s no one else’s business why you’re choosing not to.
That being said, it’s still totally possible to be a feminist blogger without writing about feminism.

Throughout the years, Sean and I have been working really hard to make our home more eco-friendly. We know climate change is a huge deal, so we’re trying to make as little an environmental impact as we can every day.
And surprisingly, these changes aren’t very difficult to make. With just one small change at a time, it’s amazing how eco-friendly your home can become in hardly any time at all!
So, outside of recycling, what are some little things you can do around your house today to be more eco-friendly?
In the age of the side-hustle, branding is everything. But even if you aren’t rocking a side-hustle, it’s imperative that you know how to brand yourself.
After all, a brand is what distinguishes a company, product, service, or person from another. As you’re applying for jobs and meeting people, having a brand will set you apart and make you that much easier to remember.
Ready to start your own personal branding journey? Let’s go!
Hey everyone! Excited to introduce the newest guest post at And Possibly Dinosaurs. Kate Harveston is here to talk about women in technology, and why representation matters! Enjoy!
Walk into a Silicon Valley office building, or even browse the company’s website to learn about its staff, and you’ll probably wonder where all the women are. The tech industry has long been criticized for having a gender imbalance, but there’s hope!
Many dedicated people and organizations are working to improve perceptions and pave the way for women who want to shine in tech jobs. These efforts totally matter — here’s why.
Bloggers are told time and time again that we have to infuse our personality into our brand. And it’s true! To make yourself stand out, it’s important that you share your real self online so your audience understands who the heck they’re talking to.
So, what do you do when you’re super introverted and don’t like talking about yourself? Or maybe your significant other has very intentionally created their personal brand at work, with friends, etc., and doesn’t want you to share the personal, intimate stories that are just for you.
Don’t panic! It’s still totally possible to share your real self online, even when you (or your significant other) are introverted.
Blogging can be such a lonely industry. Most of us sit at our computers, all alone (except maybe a dog or a cat), with no one to talk to but our mysterious “audience.”
While a lot of us have full-time jobs to give us some human interaction, the actual act of blogging can be quite lonesome.
So, what’s a blogger to do? The best solution is to find blogging BFFs who can talk you through ruts, share industry knowledge, and give you a peak inside your target audience.
Believe it or not, blogging BFFs can actually have a huge impact on your well-being. Here’s why.
One of my favorite things about blogging and online business is how many women are empowered to run their own small businesses.
In fact, most of the blogs I read are written by women. And at my monthly blogging meetup, almost all of the attendees are female.
It’s awesome! And so encouraging to see how many women are rocking their businesses.
However, as women, there’s one thing we need to keep in mind when running our businesses, especially online: femmephobia.
Budgeting is… not the most fun thing to do. But that doesn’t mean it’s unimportant. In fact, it’s one of the most important things you can do!
So, where the heck are you supposed to start? Let’s walk through every step of the budgeting process. (Oh, and don’t forget to download your free spreadsheet so you can track your budget and spending habits!)
I’m really excited to introduce Sareeta of Flight & Scarlet for today’s blog post! She’s going to talk all about how to be a feminist in your daily life, which is awesome advice we can all use! Take it away, Sareeta!

Let’s face it: periods aren’t fun. But you know what’s worse than a week of pain and suffering? The impact it can have on the environment.
But don’t worry, it’s actually not very hard to have an eco-friendly period.
