Everyone knows that I’m a huuuuuge Harry Potter fan. To say obsessed would be accurate. When I was writing the post about Low-Key Toxic Traits I referenced how my Hufflepuff traits of Loyalty and Patience can sometimes be toxic. When they don’t have boundaries, even good traits go bad. This…
I’m a Hufflepuff. If you’re not into Harry Potter, Hufflepuff is the house that values patience and loyalty. Patience and loyalty are awesome traits unless they’re rooted in unresolved trauma and fear of abandonment combined with poor boundaries. Hello. That’s me. My loyalty, which makes me a kick-ass friend who…
When I first started learning how to manage my anxiety, I discovered pretty quickly that a routine, stability, and a lack of surprises is my optimum functioning environment. I’m pretty sure that my childhood had a lot to do with that. My little brother is on the autism spectrum and…
Today’s blog post for NaBloPoMo was supposed to be about something completely different, you’ll see what tomorrow! Instead, we’re going to talk about fatness, fitness, and body positivity. If you’ve been around a while then you might know that 10 years ago I lost a ton of weight. It was…

Hi, my name is Dominee, and I absolutely love social media and the internet but I also know how important it is to unplug. As someone who is super introverted, it’s the perfect way to make connections and not feel so alone in the world. That being said, it’s still…
Day five of NaBloPoMo, which means that it’s my goal to write one blog post every day this month and today we’re going to talk about my self-care circle. When I was talking about my self-care goals for the week, I said that one of my goals was to get good…
Day four of NaBloPoMo, which means that it’s my goal to write one blog post every day this month. To be perfectly honest, I’m not really feeling the whole writing thing today. However, I’m going to show up and write anyway because it feels good. It’s kinda like yoga. I…
Good morning! In case you aren’t following along, I’m doing NaBloPoMo, which means that it’s my goal to write one blog post every day this month, something I’m pretty excited about! Today’s blog post is going to be short and sweet (I think). I’m kinda just winging it and writing…
