How I’m Taking Control of My Mental Health

How I’m Taking Control of My Mental Health
Long time no chat, friends! This is the longest I’ve gone without sitting down and blogging since I can remember and first and foremost: I’m sorry. First: I’m sorry for the ramble-y nature of this post. I’m writing stream of conscious and very heart-to-heart focused. I’m not aiming for polished. I just want to get my words out! Secondly, I do know that as of late I’ve definitely dropped the ball when it comes to blogging, and I’ve gotten a lot of nice emails and comments from all of you that have gone unanswered (it’s on my must-do to-do list… View Post

How to Plan for the Best Spring Break Ever

How to Plan for the Best Spring Break Ever
This post is written in partnership with Tampax and Amazon. All opinions are my own. Spring Break is right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m not in school anymore, but that doesn’t mean I’m not fully planning on taking advantage of spring break travel deals. I’ve been talking a lot with my friends on taking a trip this spring, and we’ve pitched ideas from the Wisconsin Dells to Costa Rica and just about everywhere in between. Clearly decision making isn’t any of our strong suits. With that said, no matter where we end up, a few… View Post

#WinterSkinProblems and 4 Tips for Solving Them

#WinterSkinProblems and 4 Tips for Solving Them
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine. As far as skin goes, I’ve always been pretty lucky. I get hormonal breakouts on my chin, and I have some gnarly dark circles that have existed since I was born (thanks, genetics), but my real skin woes come in the form of dry skin. It could be 80 degrees and humid, and I’ll still probably have chapped lips and dry under eyes if I’m not keeping on top of my skincare, but in the winter, the problem is elevated. Fun… View Post

Give Your Room a Makeover with Modsy: Apartment Edition

Give Your Room a Makeover with Modsy: Apartment Edition
This post is written in collaboration with Modsy. All opinions are my own. I moved into my dream apartment a few months ago, furnished it with the necessities, and then kind of lost motivation. Once I got my desk and my couch and my TV and a few decor pieces for good measure, it felt done enough that I didn’t have that same drive to constantly check Goodwill for new furniture pieces or peruse the home decor aisles of Target in an obsessive manner. Despite my lack of fervor in completing the decorating process, I’ll be the first to admit… View Post

Practical Ways to Practice Self-Care

Practical Ways to Practice Self-Care
If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been off to the greatest start with publishing here on Mostly Morgan in 2018. Instead, I’ve been focused a lot on self-care. If you read teen magazines or spend any time on Pinterest your idea of self-care might be different than mine. You’re likely imagining me doing yoga, taking bubble baths, lighting candles, and meditating. While all of the above are legitimate ways to practice self-care, they can also be impractical when you’re busy and stressed. Self-care can mean a lot of things, and what works for one person doesn’t have to work for you. Personally?… View Post
