5 foods you should always try to make at home via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Controversial statement alert: I don’t think that there’s anything too wrong with buying food, if you know what to avoid.

5 things to do on the weekend to have a productive week via @Exsloth | ExSloth.com

Being home almost all the time is a breading ground for unproductive habits. When I first finished school, I went a little crazy with the amount of nothing I did. After 5 years of school and internships, I felt like I earned the break. But, it’s been almost 6 months now and it’s high time I became
