Have you ever felt aches and pains after hours of gaming? Or do you have a desk job that involves sitting at the computer for long periods of time? If the answer to that question is yes then you’re in the right place. Playing video games or sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time can cause problems in your eyes, neck, shoulder, wrist, and back. You can relieve and even prevent the problems caused by this by wearing blue light blocking glasses while you game or work on the computer, and doing a few simple stretches. So if you start to feel tension after playing a game for a while or have a desk job that involves hours on sitting try doing these simple stretches. This will help relieve or prevent any neck, back, wrist, or shoulder pain you may experience while playing video games or during a long workday.

It’s easy to get sucked into social media. You want to be seen, heard, connect, and network so you can build your brand.  But sometimes social media can consume your life and be harmful to your overall mental health and productivity. Constantly scrolling through social media can cause stress, depression, and jealousy toward those around you. But opening up a social media app is far easier than closing it. Especially, if you work in social media or to promote your business or blog. You don’t have to quit social media just cut back on the amount of time you’re spending on social media. So here are some ways to cut back on your social media use.

Happy Monday everyone! Today’s post is going to be different from what I usually post. Because I’ve been tagged by the amazing and talented JustNatonya and Geraldine Talks to do a post inspired by Vogue’s 73 questions videos. One thing I like about this tag is it’s a simple and fun way to get to know the person behind the blog.

Sometimes things can get hectic towards the end of the week. You don’t have the energy or time to put together a meal and end up ordering out. But, that can get expensive and fast food isn’t always the healthiest. During those situations, that’s when meals that can be prepared ahead of time or in large batches for leftovers come in handy. And that’s one of my favorite things about lasagna, you can make it one day and can have it the next.

It’s Here!

After months of designing, planning, and late nights the Socially Awkward Club is open for business. It has been a dream of mine to open an online shop since I graduated high school. But never thought it would be a reality. So I went to college, studied accounting, graduated, and hated doing the 9-5 thing. Creativity was my thing and when I wasn’t pushing through a shift at work I was sewing, drawing, painting, writing or sketching.  So I made the decision last year to revisit the idea of opening an online shop.  I went from full-time to part-time then quit and put everything I had into making this dream a reality. And I’m excited to be finally sharing this with the world.
