It's that time of year when the leaves are changing, the days are short, beanies and hats and sweaters overwhelm your wardrobe (if you're me), and pumpkin spice aromas and flavors abound. Yet, I find myself—in the midst of chilly days and warm drinks—craving smoothie bowls just as often as I did in during the [...]
I struggled with body dysmorphia for most of my teenage years and sometimes, I still struggle. Staring at myself so long, I start to perceive the most minor, unnoticeable, and often nonexistent flaws in myself.
