Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Wellbeing for Your Sign
Where do we even start with health? It’s a vast topic with what seems to be about a million factors, but it really comes down to three things: Mind. Body. Spirit. We all know the basic elements of “health,” right? Eating healthy, working out, and doing activities that make you feel good. (Like meditating or treating yourself to a nice bath. #TreatYoSelf.) But what if I told you that you can use your zodiac sign to figure out the best things for your wellbeing? Through this article, I’ll show you some things that you can do that will help you based on the cosmic energy that surrounds you on a day-to-day basis. Before going any further, I recommend looking up your entire natal chart. (And there are many apps and websites that can be used for this—I like TimePassages and Co-Star for apps, and CafeAstrology if you'd prefer a website.) I always recommend looking at your entire natal chart, since we're really all made up of a little bit of everything. Pay the most attention to your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.To sum that up:Sun: Energizes you chart (since it's the planetary body of energy closest to the planet.) It represents your goal. The positive aspects of this energy are what you should strive for in order to unlock your highest self.Moon: Your true and personal self.Rising: How you present yourself to others. This is the general vibe you give off.Got it? Good. Let's get started.

I STILL Believe Christine Ford
I'm going to keep talking about this since apparently a whole lot of people still don't want to understand, and let me just say that as much as I hate bringing these memories to light, and as much as I hate having to re-live them every day, I think it's important for voices like mine to be heard.

Rape Culture Has Convinced Me to Find a New Job
In a world where 1/3 of women are sexually assaulted in their lifetimes, being a rideshare driver has always had its risks. I mean, after all, you are letting total strangers into your car late at night, but between my stun gun and the fact that the app tracks you, I haven't been too terribly worried.

A Definitive Ranking of All of My Tinder Encounters from Best to Worst
This is going to be so long, and I'm not even sorry. I'm not going to lie to you. When I end a rocky relationship (like I did exactly 2 months ago,) I go off the rails. I go to bars, I mess around, and I'm a firm believer in a swift rebound... or maybe several swift rebounds. (Sorry, Mom. I know you're reading this, but maybe you should click out because this one is going to be ethically messy.) I'm going to guess that I've met up with Tinder boys way more often than the average person, but I mean... That's life, y'know? My number one "love language" is words of affirmation, and let me tell you, there is no better place than Tinder to find just that. Sure, the guys are full of shit, and sure, they don't actually ever mean a damn word they say, (If I heard one more, "lol yeah it's 8 inches," I was going to lose my fucking mind.) But if I ever get tired of being called cute and beautiful and pretty and hot and gorgeous, perform an exorcism on me because I am possessed.

How to Not Suck as an Uber/Lyft Passenger
I've been a Lyft driver for about four months. Not too long ago, I wrote on article on how to not be a sh*tty Lyft/Uber driver, but now I'd like to pass some advice onto passengers, as well. I'd just like to state off the bat that the vast, VAST majority of my passengers have been fine, if not great. There have been few instances in which I've run into these issues, but I just thought I'd put it out into the universe for you anyway. So read and enjoy!

How To Not Suck As A Lyft/Uber Driver
I've been using Lyft a lot over the past few months, both as a driver and as a passenger, and there are things I've noticed: things that work and things that do not, things that warrant five stars, and things that do not. (But let's be honest — I give five stars pretty much no matter what. If I get there without dying or becoming seriously maimed or getting sexually harassed, you get five stars, even though it's very clear why you're one bad review from suspension, Jason.)
