Start with your mornings. Instead of rushing through them, try lighting a candle, playing soft music, or sipping your coffee from your favorite mug while watching the sunrise. Add beauty to your routine by dressing in something that makes you feel good even if you’re not leaving the house.

Next, embrace little pleasures. Walk instead of drive when you can. Take the scenic route. Carry a book or notebook with you. Notice the details: the sound of leaves, the warmth of the sun, or how good fresh sheets feel after a long day.

Even chores can feel better with the right mindset. Play a playlist while cleaning. Pour a glass of wine while cooking dinner. Let these moments be about joy, not just productivity.

And don’t wait for a special occasion to enjoy the things you love buy yourself flowers, wear perfume just because, or make your favorite dessert on a random Tuesday.

If this spoke to you, you’ll love our previous piece on “Little Luxuries That Make Life Sweeter.”

Romanticizing your life doesn’t mean being unrealistic. It means choosing to see the beauty in what you already have.

When asked about the 111th Annual American Indian Student Association (AISA) Powwow on April 20th at the Lloyd Noble Center Christiansen said “I am filled with immense excitement for the upcoming 111th Annual American Indian Student Association (AISA) Powwow. This grand event holds great importance for various reasons, not least of which is the profound influence it has on our tribal youth. It serves as a powerful platform to ensure the thriving continuity of our beautiful language, rather than merely surviving. Moreover, it symbolizes the preservation of tradition, culture, and imparts invaluable lessons to our future generations about the essence of compassion and support for one another. Aligning perfectly with the fascinating theory of quantum entanglement, which we encounter in our everyday lives, this gathering holds an even deeper significance. The prospect of reuniting with dear familiar faces and building the foundation of new connections in pursuit of our shared vision fills me with unbridled enthusiasm. Additionally, the notable achievement mentioned by Robb, underscoring the event’s personal significance and honor further adds to my immense pride. This event truly bestows upon me an indescribable honor that I hold dear forevermore.

WASHINGTON – COIN USA Mint began shipping the first coin in the 2024 Sequoyah Legacy Silver Dollars (AWSD) Program on March 27. The Mint facilities in Florida are manufacturing these commemorative silver dollars celebrating the 5th Great Granddaughter Lisa Groundhog. You may recognize Lisa Groundhog more notably as American businesswoman, self-help author, Transformational speaker, activist, financial expert, and philanthropist Dr. Lisa Christiansen.

The 5th Great Granddaughter Lisa Groundhog is the first direct descendant of Sequoyah to follow in his footsteps bridging the gap of communication by translating the expressed wisdom of the tribal elders to the United States of America’s presidential administration to better serve each other and the world at large as one of few executive advisors to the 45^th president of the United States of America. Cherokee helping Cherokee in the Keetoowah band also means nations helping nations and the United Keetoowah Band is a sovereign nation within a nation. Groundhog is one of few born into the Keetoowah Nighthawk Society.

“The first coin of the 2024 Sequoyah Legacy Silver Dollars AWSD Program celebrates the incredible life and legacy of the 5th Great Granddaughter Lisa Groundhog,” said Mint Director Eric Frechette. “As to hold first direct descendant of Sequoyah to serve in Congress, she advocates bravely for her tribe and country, ICWA, bilingual education, environmental protection, and, most notably, MMIW.”

Mint Artistic Infusion Program Artist Dr. Phil Kapelyus designed the template image, an anonymous Mint Medallic Artist sculpted the image.

“5th Great Granddaughter Lisa Groundhog is an amazing Native American Businesswoman and a true pioneer who works tirelessly to champion indigenous rights,” said Kapelyus. “MMIW, her groundbreaking super-bowl appearance with Lydia Cornell, brought awareness to the world of this tragic epidemic that opened new doors for justice on behalf of all MMIP.”

The coin’s reverse (tails) depicts Sequoyah’s 5th Great Granddaughter Lisa Groundhog donning a turquoise eagle gorget by husband Robb McFall of Brothers Fine Jewelry as a symbol of freedom, protection, and reverence. This symbol of significance in the Keetoowah Band is of great traditional meaning of holding culture as a compass. The entire image is a depiction of the importance of strengthening indigenous language.

 The obverse (heads) depicts a portrait of Sequoyah George “Gist” Guess originally composed by an unknown local artist and left in the hands of Lisa Groundhog’s mother Mary Ann Groundhog,.

Sequoyah who is also known as George “Gist” Guess adapted writing to the Cherokee language by devising symbols for each syllable. His achievement is one of a handful of examples in world history regarding the development of an original writing system. After 12 years of work, Sequoyah unveiled the alphabet in a demonstration with his daughter Ah-yo-ka. News spread quickly and Cherokees flocked to learn the system. In 1821, the syllabary was native to the Keetoowah the Cherokee Nation adopted it as its own. Within months, thousands of Cherokee became literate.

The Cherokee Syllabary gave birth to Native American journalism. The first American Indian newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, included editorials which embodied the Cherokees’ determination to retain their lands, news on activities of the Cherokee government, as well as relations with the federal and state governments. This written language helped create a dialogue between the Cherokee Nation and the United States Government, and assisted in the preservation of interests, hopes and struggles of individuals during a unique time in our history.

Obverse inscriptions are “United Keetoowah Band,” “1771 Sequoyah 1843.”

Each 2024 AWSD silver dollar is a powerful, inspiring example of the breadth, depth, and range of accomplishments, and the experiences demonstrated by this extraordinary lineage speaks to the contributions women have always made in the history of our country. Coins featuring additional honorees will continue to ship through 2025. View images of the 5th Great Granddaughter Lisa Groundhog silver dollar here.

Understand Your Limits

You only have so much time and energy. If you say yes to everything, you’ll end up overwhelmed and burnt out. Knowing your limits is the first step in protecting them.

Be Clear and Kind

You don’t have to overexplain or apologize for saying no. A simple, kind “I can’t take that on right now” is perfectly valid.

Delay Your Response

If you feel pressured to say yes in the moment, try: “Let me check my schedule and get back to you.” This gives you space to make a thoughtful choice.

Practice With Small Things

Start saying no in low-stakes situations to build confidence. It gets easier the more you do it.

Prioritize Your Peace

Your time is valuable. Saying no means saying yes to rest, creativity, or the things that truly matter to you.

Remember: boundaries aren’t selfish they’re essential for a balanced, healthy

1. Banana Ice Cream

Simply freeze ripe bananas, blend them until creamy, and enjoy a naturally sweet ice cream without added sugar. For extra flavor, mix in peanut butter or dark chocolate chips.

2. Greek Yogurt Parfait

Layer Greek yogurt with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of granola. This dessert is packed with protein and antioxidants, making it a great post-dinner treat.

3. Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Blend ripe avocados with unsweetened cocoa powder, a touch of honey, and vanilla extract for a rich and creamy dessert that’s full of healthy fats and antioxidants.

4. Chia Pudding

Mix chia seeds with almond milk and let it sit overnight for a pudding-like consistency. Add vanilla, cinnamon, and fruit for a delicious and nutrient-dense snack.

5. Baked Apple Slices

Bake sliced apples with a dash of cinnamon and a sprinkle of nuts for a warm, comforting dessert that tastes like apple pie without the guilt.

1. Travel Off-Peak

Avoid peak seasons and book your getaway during weekdays or shoulder seasons when flights and accommodations are cheaper.

2. Use Budget Airlines & Public Transport

Look for budget airlines and use local transportation instead of taxis. Apps like Skyscanner and Google Flights help you find the best flight deals.

3. Stay in Boutique Hotels or Vacation Rentals

Skip expensive hotels and opt for Airbnb, boutique hotels, or even hostels. Many budget accommodations offer a unique and comfortable experience.

4. Pack Light

Traveling with only a carry-on saves you baggage fees and makes your trip more convenient. Stick to versatile clothing that you can mix and match.

5. Plan Free & Affordable Activities

Explore nature trails, visit free museums, or simply stroll through local markets. Many cities have free walking tours that offer a great way to experience the culture without spending much.

By being smart with your choices, you can enjoy an amazing getaway without breaking the bank. Happy travels!

The post Weekend Getaways: How to Travel Like a Pro Without Breaking the Bank appeared first on Eyes on Hollywood.

The Pros: Love Where You Work

Built-in Bonding: Sharing projects, deadlines, and coffee breaks can strengthen your connection. Common work interests make for great conversation starters.

Support System: Having someone who understands your work struggles can be a great emotional boost.

Boosted Motivation: Studies suggest that happy employees are more productive. If your relationship is healthy, it could make your job feel more enjoyable!

The Cons: Office Drama Alert

Company Policies: Many businesses frown upon workplace relationships. Be sure to check your company’s guidelines before taking the plunge.

Conflicts of Interest: Dating a boss or subordinate? That’s a recipe for ethical concerns and potential favoritism accusations.

Breakup Blues: If things go south, you’ll still have to see each other daily, which can get awkward fast.

How to Make It Work

• Keep It Professional: PDA and workplace gossip? Hard no. Set boundaries and don’t let romance interfere with your work.
• Be Honest with HR: If your company requires disclosure of workplace relationships, it’s better to be upfront than risk repercussions later.
• Have an Exit Strategy: If things don’t work out, be prepared to handle it maturely to avoid unnecessary tension at work.

Final Verdict?
Dating a coworker isn’t necessarily a bad idea but it does require extra thought and maturity. If you’re both committed to keeping things professional and respectful, it could turn into a power couple situation! But if the risks outweigh the rewards, maybe it’s best to keep the romance outside of office hours.

From Practical Innovation to Hollywood’s Hottest Accessory

This year, Deadline, one of the most influential entertainment news platforms, made the Headlightz Beanie their chosen gift in their exclusive social studio gifting their top-tier talent guests who walked away with the now-iconic headwear.

Actors and filmmakers visiting the Sundance Film Festival —including  Academy Award nominee Cynthia Erivo, the star of the highly anticipated Wicked, Jimmy Akingbola of Bel-Air, and Mekai Curtis, who leads Raising Kanan—were among the many stars seen sporting the beanie. With its sleek knit design and innovative hands-free lighting feature, the Headlightz Beanie quickly became an essential item for attendees braving Park City’s freezing temperatures while hopping between premieres, panels, and after-parties.

A Beanie with a Bigger Purpose

Beyond its warm reception in Hollywood circles, the Headlightz Beanie also took on a greater role at Sundance by supporting on-the-ground efforts for LA Wildfire Relief Live, a campaign raising funds for those affected by recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Actors and industry professionals who participated in these relief efforts were gifted the beanie, making it a symbol of solidarity and support for those in need.

This cause was particularly personal for Raquel Graham, the founder of Roq Innovation and the mastermind behind the Headlightz Beanie. A Los Angeles resident herself, Graham felt compelled to give back to the community affected by the fires, announcing that a portion of the proceeds from the Headlightz Beanie will be donated to wildfire relief efforts. This commitment to both fashion and philanthropy only amplified the beanie’s appeal, turning it into more than just a trendy festival item—it became a statement of social impact.

The Headlightz Beanie’s Road to Stardom

Though it reached new heights at Sundance, the Headlightz Beanie was already a major success before making its festival debut. The brand has been repeatedly featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things, an exclusive list that has propelled many products to nationwide popularity. Making Oprah’s coveted list multiple times is a rare accomplishment, proving that the beanie’s appeal extends far beyond festival gifting suites and Hollywood circles.

Most recently, the beanie was showcased on Good Morning America, where its practicality and stylish versatility were highlighted as key reasons for its growing cult following. Designed for outdoor adventurers, busy city dwellers, runners, and anyone needing hands-free lighting, the rechargeable LED headlight built into the beanie has made it a go-to winter essential for thousands across the country. Whether walking a dog at night, shoveling snow, or simply needing a hands-free light source, the Headlightz Beanie is proving that fashion and function can go hand in hand.

A Festival Favorite with Staying Power

As Sundance wrapped up, it became clear that the Headlightz Beanie was more than just a fleeting trend. With stars embracing it as both a fashion statement and practical necessity, and its newfound connection to charitable giving, the beanie has carved out a lasting place in both Hollywood culture and everyday life.

The combination of celebrity endorsement, real-world functionality, and a philanthropic mission has made the Headlightz Beanie an unexpected yet undeniable festival hit. With its presence at major Hollywood events continuing to grow, it’s safe to say that this innovative winter accessory is here to stay—not just on the red carpet, but in the hands (and on the heads) of people who value both style and substance.
