So, I just realized that this is currently my third week working at home. I’ve have missed some events that I look forward to every year such as Singer Songwriter down in Cape May and Tartan Week in New York City. It just doesn’t seem as though there is much to look forward to this year. Instead we need to focus on keep ourselves busy. I’ve come up with a plan to follow that allows us to do something besides wait for new shows on Netflix and Prime.
Self-Care
I’m sitting at home right now catching up on emails and my to do list for tomorrow. I check my email quickly and notice the subject line on the email reads: Need some self-care? We got you. Yes Ulta, I could use some self-care. Perhaps not the kind that you can provide me with right now because let’s face it, the last thing I care about is how this lipstick is more early spring than late spring. Instead I’m looking for the self-care that makes me feel good during this pandemic we are currently going through. I thought I’d assemble a couple of quick ideas that can make us all feel human again.

Arby’s Fish N Cheddar
I did not intend for Arby’s to be my first fish sandwich of the year. I was hoping I’d be able to enjoy a nice, buttery Chick-fil-a fish sandwich. I walk into the restaurant and approach the cashier only to be told that they are not offering it at their location this year. Luckily Arby’s is next door and I just walked over and picked up a fish n cheddar with some curly fries (no tartar sauce). Well here goes nothing!
Lenten Meal
Am I the only one who cannot believe that it’s already the First Friday during Lent? It seems as though we were just celebrating Advent and the Christmas season. I know I wrote that I was going to write reviews of fast food fish sandwiches, but today we ordered something even better at work – Frutta bowl. Here is my honest to goodness review of my Hulk bowl from Frutta Bowl TCNJ!
Fish Fry Friday
I have a secret. I absolutely love Lent because I can eat all the fish I want! It can be fish and chips, fish tacos, grilled fish, broiled fish, baked fish, etc. Since many fast food restaurants have fish sandwiches during the Lenten season, I thought why not write a blog about the different restaurants that will have a seasonal fish sandwich. Each Friday I will try to visit one of the burger joints and try their fish sandwich and I’ll provide an honest review on what I thought of them! Here is the list of the places I will try:
Blog of Bliss
A Part of our #SelfLove Series
According to Merriam-Webster, bliss can be defined as complete happiness.
Have you ever felt complete happiness before? Whether it be a good hair day, the way you feel in your favorite outfit, or when you are surprised with your favorite meal for dinner, it is a feeling of bliss. That feeling is just pure happiness and it should be an emotion we have more often. Since we are all human, we experience different emotions throughout our day. Here are some ways we can experience bliss more frequently.
Wellness
Congratulations to us! We made it to our 100th blog! We thought a great way to celebrate number 100 was to give our readers a Wellness blog. As you have read from us in the past, we are supporters and advocates for self-love and wellness. Here are some of our tips for a day of wellness, or ways to just un-wind from your hectic day. Enjoy!
Sustainable World
It’s hard to believe that it is 2020. We have everything at our fingertip’s technology wise. There are self-driving cars, artificial intelligence, and computers can even voice translate during video conferences. You may wonder what’s next in our lifetime? Well how about a sustainable world? Parish Giving’s social media team is trying to live a more sustainable life and we have some tips on how we are going to do it this year!
Love for G4G
Love can be defined as a strong feeling of deep affection.
Joy – Our Pets at Christmas
Joy by definition means a feeling of great happiness and pleasure. What better way to spread Joy than to share our pets at Christmas! Enjoy!
Candle of Peace
Peace is not something you wish for; it’s something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away. John Lennon
