The Potential Impact of Screen Time on Weight Gain

In an era dominated by screens, the impact on our waistlines has become an increasingly urgent concern. The enticing shine of smartphones, computers, and televisions not only captures our attention but, sadly, contributes to weight gain. The culprit? A double-edged sword between sedentary habits and disrupted sleep. Hours spent glued to screens often mean fewer moments of physical activity, inviting a stealthy weight gain.

Shoujo Girl 2025 - Part 3

One of my biggest challenges in life has always been eating healthier. When you’ve got a massive sweet tooth like me, you can’t help but choose fruit gummies over real fruit!!!

regardless, here is a sweet tooth girl’s guide to eating healthier in 2025:

-incorporating fruits n veggies into your meals

By adding in healthier ingredients to foods you like, you’re eating healthier and happier!

-Trying new foods

I’ve always been a very picky girl. So, this year I’ve decided to turn a new leaf and eat new foods! There are many fruits I’m yet to try, giving me lots to look forward to. This is one thing I think anyone can incorporate into their life as well!

-eating less snacks and better meals

Snacking is a bad habit of mine when I’m bored, so finding new hobbies is one way to counter this weakness! Eating better meals prevents hunger and snacking.

-replacing sweets with healthier treats

ice cream -> yogurt (can be frozen to imitate ice cream!) chips -> *healthy* popcorn (toppings can be added for flavor!) fruit gummies -> real fruit. And more! This is just a few examples.

-have treats sometimes

Turn them into a reward! Like on Fridays, when you ace a test, celebrate the small things and treat yourself!

it’ll be tough, but with motivation and effort I believe we can all eat healthier in 2025! (P.S. check out parts 1&2 on my account!) <33

PSA I do not encourage nor support extreme dieting/starvation. Everyone needs to eat so please do! This is just a silly eat healthier blog post I mostly made for myself. Please eat and love your body 💗

Femme Fatale Guide: Tips To Relieve Everyday Bloating

As someone who has dealt with chronic bloating for a lot of my life, here are some of my thoughts, observations, and recommendations. HUGE disclaimer: I am in no way an expert on this, a medical professional, nutritionist, or anything of the sort.

Especially for women, bloating can be a sign of gynecological issues (endometriosis, PCOS, hormone imbalances like estrogen dominance, and even a warning sign of ovarian cancer). So, if you experience constant bloating that doesn't get better with improved digestion, schedule an OB/GYN appointment ASAP to ensure that everything is okay on the women's health front.

Everyone's triggers are different, but for me, these are some of the common causes of bloating that I've noticed:

Lack of sleep

Stress

Eating too quickly or while stressed

Lack of movement/walking

Not drinking enough water

High-fat meals

Chewing gum

Carbonated drinks/alcohol

Here are some of my best tips, habits, and product recommendations to manage & minimize bloating:

Engage in a 1-minute diaphragmatic aka deep-belly breathing exercise in bed right after waking up and right before going to sleep (place one hand on the middle of your chest and the other in the central "hollow" area right below your rib cage)

Get at least 6-7 hours of sleep a night

Have a bowl of oatmeal (made with plain oats and water) with cinnamon and fruit every morning

Drink water before any coffee in the morning; Only having at most 16oz or one large mug of coffee before breakfast in the morning

Chew my food slowly, taking time between bites

Drink at least 8 large glasses of water daily

Take my Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D supplement daily (I love the Deva brand!)

Have avocados/use avocado oil as my primary fat source (I love nuts/nut butter, but they really bloat me, so find your trigger foods!); I've found a large salad with a romaine lettuce base, some veggies, avocado, and an ACV-based dressing works wonders to settle my stomach or steamed spinach with roasted root vegetables/potatoes

Use digestive enzymes when necessary (These digestive enzymes are my favorites!)

Take at least 30 minutes to walk/move around daily (Pilates, yoga, or bodyweight exercises also work)

Drink ginger tea or some herbal-based tea nightly (my long-time favorite is Bigelow Benefits Calm Stomach Ginger Peach Herbal Tea!)

Don't eat anything for at least 3 hours before bed

For trapped gas: Try lying on your stomach, engaging in the downward dog yoga position or fetal position on the left side, or doing an abdominal massage (rubbing in a circular motion from the right side of your pelvis up through your rib cage down and around the left side) all work well!
