What I Learned from the Minimalism Challenge
So first up, what is the minimalism challenge? Well basically, The Minimalists Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus posted the idea on their website in the spirit of “new year clear out.” The idea is that on the 1st of January, you get rid of one thing, on the 2nd, you get rid of two things, all the way up to getting rid of 31 things on the 31st. You can get a friend and see who finishes first, who gets rid of the most stuff, or you can just keep going through February, March etc. until you reach a natural end. I reversed mine because I’m a rebel and needed to see fast changes. It worked for me because I was so ready to clear stuff out, but if you don’t even know where to start, it’s probably not for you. I completed the challenge over the whole of January, getting rid of over 500 things, and here is what I learned.

What You Need to Know Before You Buy Sheets
I know nothing about sheets. I only know how to be a good lover and father. It takes intuition to do both. The same is not true of buying sheets. You need to know a lot of stuff to buy sheets! Vocabulary, your climate, what you want out of sheets. I've never asked myself what I want out of sheets! Only what I want out of a partner and out of my own life. I let my son Jarret be who he wants to be.

Ways to Boost Your Memory and Remember Almost Everything (Backed by Science)
Without getting too existential on you, our memories are one of the only ways we can transcend time. As beautiful and elegant as this observation may be, it would mean nothing if you can't remember any of them. Drastic as this may sound, in all likelihood if you don't take care of your body and mind, you're sure to lose some of those valued mental treasures.

Hacks to Help You Stop Stressing About Your Future and Start Living
Even at the age of 23, I am constantly thinking about the future. I am always trying to plan way ahead and not think about what I am going to do the next day. The future sounds like a long time from now, and I know this, but I can't stop myself from thinking about what I'll be doing when I'm 30. The more I think about the future, the more it was stressing me out. It stressed me out to the point of worrying and from then, I knew that I needed to calm down.

Cosplay DIY: Harley Quinn Mallet
In March 2016, I started on my very first cosplay project: a Harley Quinn mallet. I was a cosplayer for about two years at the time and never made any props before. A month earlier, my customized Harley Quinn costume had arrived to me in the mail and wanted to make a prop to go with the cosplay that I planned to go as for a convention that was coming up in May of that year. Other than that, I'm going to share with everyone step-by-step instructions on how I constructed my mallet. Whenever I plan my cosplays or work on a project, I don't focus on perfection. All I can do is be proud of the effort and hard work I put into it. With that said, I hope you're ready to learn how to make a Harley Quinn mallet.

Lazy Girl's Morning Routine
If you’re anything like me then you know the struggle of trying to throw together a professional look in only 30 short minutes after hitting the snooze button a few too many times. Before I perfected my routine, I was notorious for running out the door unshowered, hair in a bun, with no makeup (and I would still be a few minutes late every time LOL). After realizing I needed to get this under control, I have perfected a few time saving tips and tricks that have made my morning routine a breeze.

Cosplay DIY: Punk Rock Superman Vest. Top Story - May 2018.
Greetings to everyone out there. I'm going to provide you step-by-step instructions on how to create a Punk Rock Superman vest. Punk Rock Superman was my second cosplay mashup I have done as a cosplayer. Last year at GlitchCon, I went as this character on the second day of the convention and also in the cosplay contest. Plus, I had a photo shoot that morning and my photographer took some breathtaking shots. As far as this project, it took me over two months to complete the vest. Due to my work schedule at the time, I've worked on it at least two to three hours a night. Other than that, here's a list of items you'll need to customize the vest:
