Adulthood is complex in many ways, and one thing that becomes more apparent as we navigate our 20s and 30s is that it can become difficult to maintain friendships with people who may be in different stages of life. Maybe you don’t see your college friend group as often as you did after you graduated, or your best friend is getting married and you’re still living the single life.

How often do you take a step back and ask yourself, “How am I really doing?” Mental health not only affects your physical health, but it also impacts how you perceive yourself and the world around you. In fact, mental health encompasses your emotional well-being as well as your ability to recognize and regulate your emotions.

Preparing for a new school year is one of the most exciting times of the year…and it’s even more enjoyable when you can purchase the essentials from the comfort of your own couch! From backpacks and pencil cases to headphones and statement t-shirts, I am rounding up 20 of my favorite items and they’re all under $20. Set your students up for success (in style, of course!) with the best school supplies!

One of our missions here at Bene by Nina is to provide easily accessible wellness resources. In a perfect world, where and how you grew up wouldn’t determine your ability to embrace wellness. Your skin color should never make you apprehensive about seeking a therapist, trying a new yoga class, or integrating a new breathing technique into your daily routine. Unfortunately, wellness is not always as inclusive as we dream it to be.
As we work daily towards a more inclusive wellness space, we celebrate a few individuals we greatly admire who are also committed to making wellness resources more accessible to all. They remind us daily that, regardless of race, culture, gender or creed, we are all worthy of wellness.
