There's a woman dressed as Buddy the Elf at the airport, holding a sign that says, "Does someone need a hug?" and handing out candy canes. God bless. #friyay

Just a reminder that if you have brain fog, trouble getting out of bed in the morning/trouble falling asleep, hair thinning, and anxiety to get your Vitamin D levels checked!
My Vitamin D supplements helped me so much! #thursdaythoughts

Happy Matcha Monday! I had to take my matcha and Tylenol combo to knock out my headache this morning. Does anyone else get a headache when it storms/there's a big weather change? #matcha #mondaymood

My fiance is visiting for Thanksgiving. He lives 2000 miles from me. He can't just hop on a train and avoid planes to get here. This administration, I swear 🫠
