    Party of One: Dining, Traveling and Living Solo

    Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 23, we are a table of one, a reservation for one, a home all our own: we are talking about doing things alone, namely dining, traveling and living. I’ve been thinking of this episode topic for awhile, as someone who really enjoys spending time by myself. Now, I have personally felt the difference between being alone and on my own vs. being incredibly lonely and sad, so I totally acknowledge the difference and empathize with people who are feeling alone by default right now, but I want to focus today on the joy of spending time with yourself and how to make the most of eating, exploring and building a home by yourself. +++ MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Kacey Musgraves; Loneliest Girl Fall Flicks 2026 movie schedule!

    Habits and Hyperfixations

    Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 22, we are talking about habits and hyperfixations. Habits run in the background for me, while hyperfixations feel almost magnetic- they love to wrap me around their finger and say, “do you like surprises? Okay! Come with me!” I’ve got good habits, bad habits, and man do I have a list of some hyperfixations that have been a mix of weird, a mix of helpful, a mix of “what was I thinking?” Today is less me talking about building good habits vs. bad, self-diagnosis, or how to pull yourself out of a hyperfixation wormhole, and more just being open and giggling a bit about the things I do, things I don’t do, and things I REALLY do. +++ MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: LA Minimalist- account no longer on Instagram but Annie was amazing! Thrifty ice cream Thrifty ice cream scooper Mare Wood- "your overstimulated chic bestie" The biggest pill organizer you've ever seen Swig drink orders from the cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Hosted on Acast.

    Taste Test: Weird Food Combos & Empties

    Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 21, we are doing our monthly taste test, where I taste test something fun! I saw a social media trend going around of "weird" food combinations. Not in the sense of unusual food concoctions like pickles and peanut butter, more so ingredients paired together that trick your brain into thinking they are something they are not. I’ve also got a fun topic paired with the taste test today, I’m calling it EMPTIES. We are going to go over recent home, food and beauty products I finished and if I would repurchase them or not. A fun, simple, relaxing episode. +++ MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Halloween market Joe Spencer dolls Weird food combos inspired by Social Sami Episode 5- Taste Test: TJ’s items and My TJ's Career Episode 6- How I Clean My House Episode 10- Aging, Beauty and Shower Gel Many products mentioned, both that I'd repurchase and not repurchase!

    My Year of Sobriety

    Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 20, we are talking about a milestone- in just a few days, I am hitting my one year mark of sobriety. For almost 365 days, I have been saying no to drinking alcohol and I have some experiences, thoughts and feelings to share! I really don’t have advice or tips, as I am so not an expert on this, so today’s episode will just be story time! I’ll explore what started out as sober curiosity and turned into bigger realizations about myself. Today we are going to cover: -Memory lane: what did my drinking past look like? -What happened, what changed, what’s next? -Sobriety bingo- what’s on the card you may ask?- firsts, lasts, and things I’ll never miss again! +++ MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Bereavement: Studies of Grief in Adult Life (also available online in the newer edition) Trader Joe's frozen toaster waffles Taste Test: H-Mart & Hot Takes Croissant bread Trader Joe's Vanilla Sugar Fruit Riot Uchi Hosted on Acast.

    Family News; New Episode on 9/17

    Hi, thanks for tuning into Bedtime Snack. Rachel here, and today is actually not a full episode, rather a quick check in and to share some family news.  With much sadness, I wanted to share that my dear cousin Danna and her two young sons tragically lost their lives in a devastating plane accident. Her husband Craig lived through the crash initially but has since passed away. They are survived by their two older, teenage children. There are no words for what these two kids are facing. They’ve lost their mom, their dad, and their two little brothers. I’m taking the week to be with family, attend services, and grieve this unimaginable loss with them. I appreciate the time to take a little break. Next week, on Thursday the 17th, there will be a fresh episode for you, all about my hitting a year of sobriety. Until then, I will really try to remember to take a breath, take care and unclench my jaw. Those things seem so little compared to the tragedy life can throw at you, but they, along with love and support and community, really can do a lot during a difficult moment. Thanks for keeping my family in your thoughts. I’ll miss you, and I’ll be right back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Taste Test: Gummies & Current Comforts

    Hi! Thanks for tuning in! Today on episode 18, it’s gonna be real simple and cozy- we are doing our monthly taste test, today it’s gummy candy, and we are talking about my current comforts! I hope that sounds relaxing and fun, I have had such a nice time prepping it. The topic was inspired by two recent episodes of the A Beautiful Mess Podcast, one titled “Comfort Objects” and the other “mini comforts”, where they talked about little comforts you can employ to fix a bad day. We’ll try 8 gummy candy varieties, and then have a little list of what is bringing me comfort lately- like Elsie and Emma of A Beautiful Mess, I tried to focus on small, free or inexpensive things that don’t take too much effort. +++ MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: New favorite instagram follow: @alyciafayeh Episode 13- Taste Test: H-mart & Hot Takes Haribo Vampire Gummies Gupperz Rockin' Rootbeer Gummies Shameless Snacks Sour Cherry Bomb Gummies Sockertbit Sweet and Sour Foamy Mix Gummies Peelerz Lychee Gummies Efrutti Gushing Grape Gummies Gupperz Poppin' Pickles Gummies Sweet potato recipe by @lovelydelites Most amazing retro inspired Christmas wreath ever- my crafting inspo Episode 6: How I Clean my Home Trader Joe's vitamin C serum Trader Joe's Night Cream Kristina's hilarious video speaking to a Victorian child in heaven Hosted on Acast.
