This week I'm going to talk about conflict. We deal with it a lot, and after researching it for a class I took last semester, I thought I would share what I learned about how to make conflict a positive thing. To kick this off I'm going to overview the 3 sources of conflict in any given situation. First is Task Conflict which is basically just creative differences, Process Conflict which is essentially the spirit of get off my lawn, and then Relationship Conflict which is simply interpersonal incompatibility. Now, no matter which type you're dealing with it effects everyone involved even if it's ignored. You never actually ignore conflict it just accumulates and makes you bitter, so dealing with it is always the best plan but how do you do that effectively? How do you make it a good thing? Most people don't tend to see conflict as an opportunity to solve a problem or come to a middle ground. We have a tendency, I feel like, to dig our heels in because we...

I love skincare. I just do. I find the whole process so relaxing--it's the perfect intro and outro to the day. So here I'd thought I'd share with you my ride or die beauty products. The products that if I had to pick one skincare regiment to use exclusively for the rest of my life, these would be them (plus some extras I obviously don't use everyday).  ***DISCLAIMER: EVERYONE'S SKIN IS DIFFERENT. YOUR SKIN MAY NOT LIKE THESE PRODUCTS. PLEASE USE CAUTION. THESE ARE JUST THE THINGS I'VE FOUND WORK FOR ME*** First is a facial brush which is a new addition to my routine. I've been wanting to incorporate this in for a while but they're all so expensive, but I found a simple one for about $7 at Target and that's the EcoTools Facial Brush. It's not fancy but it gets the job done and I've been enjoying using it. It suds up my cleanser so much better and my skin feels so much cleaner than just using my hands. This has definitely become a staple...

Do you have more crap than any human person should be able to accumulate in one lifetime? I do! And if you're anything like me you constantly look at all this crap and wish it would all just go away--but when you actually go to get rid of it you suddenly have a deep emotional attachment to everything and you leave the endeavor disappointed to say the least. So after my closet declutter I have some tips and advice for all the budding hoarders out there to help us all avoid the embarrassing but seemingly inevitable moment where authorities have to bulldoze their way into our homes and physically remove us. Tip #1: Clear. Remove everything from the space. Everything. Even the stuff you know is going back. Get it out. This will help clear your mind and start deciding what you want and need for that space. Tip #2: Clean. This gives you more time to decide what you want but also helps to reset the space in your mind. This really makes me view it like I'm moving in again and star...

Another late post but I swear it's the last one. I'm officially done with school and unemployed so until I get a job--this is my job *sweats nervously* so while I panic about my future let me give you another reason you should watch Timeless because it's awesome and the fandom needs to really show up these last episodes and get us a renewal because NBC will probably not save us again. So #Clockblockers do everything you can to bump the ratings. Scream it from the rooftops or we're toast. The Writers Know:   Ever since Jessica came back, let's face it, Wyatt has been acting like a little poo. That's right, a little poo. So poopy that I didn't even say "little shit". He's been such a douche that he has been elevated to poo status, and it has not gone unnoticed. There's been some pretty heavy Wyatt hate going around because he's been acting like a little poo. The only little poo that has feelings which was so incredibly annoying that y...
