With it being the end of April and Star Wars Day is right around the corner, I thought I would share with you an easy Star Wars inspired craft project. This Lightsaber wrist rest is great for anyone who’s a fan of the franchise. And helps prevent injury while you’re working at your computer. I spend a lot of time on my computer, rather it writing blog posts, editing photos, or playing games on Steam. So, having a wrist rest for both my keyboard and mouse helps to alleviate the pressure across my carpel tunnel. They give my palms a comfortable resting spot that keeps my wrists elevated, and prevent reduced blood flow that can lead to that numb tingling feeling or long term injuries. So if you’re like me and spend a lot of time on your computer, and you’re a fan of the Star Wars franchise, then add some geeky flair to your desk. With this Star Wars inspired Lightsaber keyboard wrist rest.

I was selected by Melissa over at Castles and Hurricanes to participate in The Good Reading Habits Tag. She’s a lifestyle blogger who writes about a variety of things like pop culture and sustainability. This tag asks readers to share some of their good reading habits. You can check out her post and find out what her good reading habits are here. I haven’t always been an avid reader.

Wraps are one of my favorite things to have for lunch or as a quick dinner. They’re healthy, budget-friendly, and go great with a bag of chips. And this southwest veggie wrap with cilantro lime dressing is no exception. Filled with black beans, corn, and a cilantro-lime dressing. It’s one of my favorite wraps to make for lunch and the dressing goes great taco salads. So if you’re looking to try something new that’s simple to make, then give this southwest veggie wrap with cilantro lime dressing a try.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve recently received another blogger award nomination. This time it’s from the lovely Deandra over at The Black Princess Diaries for The Real Neat Blog Award.

I’ve received a few blog award nominations throughout my time blogging, and it’s always an honor to be recognized by fellow bloggers. This award gives the nominator the opportunity to learn seven new things about the bloggers they nominate by asking them seven questions. So, I want to thank Deandre for nominating me and be sure sure to check out her blog and her post here.

There are times in our lives where we are faced with difficult emotions like anger, fear, loneliness, pain, and sadness are inevitable. We choose to push it away and distract ourselves, pretend that’s everything is Ok, or snap at those trying to help. But these things don’t make the situation better. So it’s vital to have mindful coping strategies for dealing with difficult emotions. Instead of using avoidance as a way to deal with difficult emotions, try one of these mindful ways to process difficult emotions.
