Other ways in which we can practise self-care.

Spa days? Check. Pampering sessions? Check. Don’t get me wrong, both are good for self-care. But because of the...

The Weekly Snippet 4: Skrrrt, skrrrt.

by Layla

Hi, I hope you are all safe and well. I’m taking the time to write this before I settle down with readings for tomorrow’s class. Boy, this has been the worst week I’ve had for this month.

The Weekly Snippet 1: Hello, how have you been?

by Layla

Hi, hope you’re all well and safe. Miss Rona’s still on the rampage, and no one’s safe–vaccine or no. I’m unwinding after a long day at work, listening to people talk on Twitter Spaces (Law School Spaces, if you’re interested), and of course, writing this blog entry. I’m all buzzed up, despite my aching arm. I’ve just finished a six-minute arm workout (2 lbs...
