Mood Joint: A Rolling Method for Every Mood
Half-Centimeter Wide Spliff Contemplative times call for slim spliffs. You roll half-centimeter wide spliffs for when you want to sit outside your suburban living quarters in search of a tiny, quiet escape. A puff is enough of a rush to send you into a dizzy. An electric shock pulsating through every tiny pore of your being moves from the center of your chest and out. Then, a small pain. A state of anguish just enough to make you feel, but also enough to make you mildly euphoric. Thoughts fill your head, theories, as the sound of crickets crowds your ears and the smell of laundry detergent, April Fresh scented, comes wafting by via the newborn Spring night breeze. The only light illuminating you is the street lamp forty-five degrees northwest above your driveway, you making up words out of your license plate: five year debate, 5YRDB8. You think enough to want to write.

NYFW Favs and Trends
I know I’m late to write on NYFW, but bear with me, rather than reporting on the looks as they come out a la Instagram style, I like to simmer in the content and attempt to look at the week as a whole with an aerial view perspective. After just a couple days into NYFW, I already spotted some trends – Western wear perseveres, fringe has gotten a chic update, sheer silhouettes are shining through, ruffles continue to make waves, animal print is having its moment, Tevas are cool now (some would argue that they always have been), and moisturized takes on a whole new meaning.

My Perception on Marijuana: Then vs. Now. Top Story - October 2018.
Ah, marijuana. Is it good? Is it bad? A debate that has never quite died down since it appeared in the United States in the 1930s. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, but fact trumps all. Both sides of the marijuana debate should know that marijuana can be both good and bad. Take it from a former stoner.

Choosing a Fashion Style? Be Yourself or Lose Yourself
I am not the best when it comes to fashion, at least in some people's eyes, but in my eyes? Haha, you can ask that again. My wardrobe isn't the best but it is kinda is to me, why? Because I LIKE EVERYTHING in it. I'm not rich, I hate wasting my money on buying expensive clothes. I'm about the cheapest person to have ever crossed this planet when it comes to fashion, well, maybe. Want to know where I go shopping for my wardrobe? Burlington. Yes, Burlington. It's about the cheapest clothing store I've ever seen. Is there any store that you walk in and you feel like you are rich because you can literally afford 90 percent of the stuff you see? Burlington has gotta be one of those. They provide the best quality at the cheapest price. One of the things about fashion, probably the most important thing, is comfort. Always wear what you are comfortable wearing.

Reasons Why Being a Stoner Isn't a Bad Thing
Stoner stereotypes aren't generally the most flattering. At best, stoners are very often portrayed, especially in media, as nothing more than comical bums, people who do nothing with their lives but smoke weed. While those characters are often beloved, they also give real legalized marijuana users a bad name, and it's just not a fair characterization of weed enthusiasts. There are just as many reasons why being a stoner isn't a bad thing at all—in fact, it can just as well be a good thing.

10 Signs Your Kid Will Be a Stoner
Most parents do not want to hear that their kids are using drugs, even if it's something as harmless as cannabis. In most cases, being a future drug user could be construed as a sign that your kid may end up an opioid statistic or that they could be arresting for selling or using drugs.

The Problem with Posh
Even though Poshmark has gone far beyond what any other fashion app has succeeded in doing as both a thrift app as well as wholesale distribution, there are some unmistakable discrepancies that I’ve noticed as both buyer and seller. I’m not dedicating this entire blog to bashing the platform, of course, because like I said, it’s a very unique and even addictive app. If you’ve not opted to boycott the fashion app yet and still deciding whether or not to give it spin, I should probably tell you… there’s a problem with Posh.
