There are a host of benefits to learning how to paint. It can improve your concentration, develop your critical thinking skills, and enhance your fine motor skills.

If you are an ADHD babe like yours truly, you know what it is like to hyper-fixate on hobbies. It can be a rush finding something that you are super interested in and just going with the flow. So, I have put together a collection of my favorite hobbies that I have tried and that stuck with me the longest.

As a television extreme fan, I know what can make a binge session, alone or with a group, amazing. This is a list of some of my favorite items that make watching shows and movies feel cozy.

Most of us write with whatever pen happens to be nearby: the freebie from the bank, the four-pack from the checkout aisle. But the pen in your hand shapes how it feels to write, and once you notice the difference, it's hard to go back. This list is a journey from the everyday to the exceptional. Start with the reliable workhorses that beat the average ballpoint, move through smooth gel and rollerball pens that make daily writing a small pleasure, and arrive at the fountain pens that turn a grocery list into something you actually enjoy putting on paper. You don't have to spend a fortune or become a collector. This is about slowing down, writing by hand a little more often, and discovering that the right pen can make an ordinary moment feel intentional. Whether you're journaling, jotting, or finally writing that letter, there's a pen here ready to win you over. Start at the top of the list and work your way down!
