Welcome to Prologs. My name is Mary, and when I get overwhelmed and start feeling behind,

I find it helpful to zoom out and remind myself that I am still in the beginning of my story.

I'm sharing all of my life's chapters, mental health, relationships, wellness, beauty,

the chaos of being in my 20s, and all of life's unexpected turns.

Prologs is the best way to start your week, so join me every Monday morning for a new entry into my digital journal.

Hi guys, welcome back to Prologs. I'm joining you from freezing, snowy Virginia. We've had two

snowstorms this week, and it's really snowing hard right now. So the vibes are very cozy,

and my winter loving self is just having the best day right now. I cannot explain how happy I feel

when I smell snow in the air. It's like one of my favorite smells in the entire world, and everything

is just so crisp and clean. Virginia is not the most snowy state, but we definitely get our fair share.

So maybe I'll change my mind if I live somewhere that gets way more snow.

But I think snow is just my favorite weather on earth.

I am loving it right now.

I feel so happy.

And I'm really looking forward to today's episode.

We're doing wellness trends. I'm going to review all of the

hottest wellness trends for 2024. Some of them I love. Some of them I don't like. Some I've never

tried before. But all of them are hot topics right now. I feel like all of these I am constantly

seeing videos about or seeing influencers boast about. And I feel like because

wellness is so trendy, it can be hard to filter through the noise and figure out what you actually

need and what works for you. So I want to approach this topic from the mindset that everybody

needs something different. Everybody's bodies and minds function a little bit differently.
