I’m the go-to gal when it comes to headache and migraine advice in my circles (lucky me!). Friends, family and co-workers know I’ve been dealing with them since forever, and often see me using some of my tricks/products while at home or traveling. Since I’ve had a recent influx in requests for advice and links […]
People Care
It is so easy to feel alone. Even when there are a bunch of people around you, needing you, interacting with you, it is possible to feel it. I should also say that it is easy to forget you are not alone. I am someone who has a tendency to crawl into my own head […]
They Noticed Something and I Did Too
I recently lost over 35 pounds. How does that make you feel? What is your immediate reaction to that statement? (You don’t actually have to publicly tell me. But hold onto that truth for a moment, please. I have a point here.) I always knew weight/size was an issue in this society, but I think […]
Just Making Sure You Know That Celebrities Do Not Know What Is Best for Your Vagina
See, I’m all for trying new things, but there is something I just need to put out there. A permission, of sorts, to those of you who look up to popular, beautiful celebrities and think that if they do something, maybe you should give it a go, too. When you read about famous women doing […]

Oops I Gained 18 Pounds
Apparently when you spend a couple years sitting down while eating cheese during the day and vanilla bean ice cream with melted peanut butter on top at night, a bit of extra weight can kinda sneak up on you. It happens, people. And it was delicious. The good thing is that I’m normally not too […]
Toddler Nutrition
We all know how important it is for our toddlers to eat a well-balanced diet full of healthy ingredients. It’s too bad they don’t give a crap about what we think is important. If my kids’ eating habits were anything to go by, most toddlers tend to lean towards meals of board book pages, snot, […]
The WAHM and the Sick Kid
Remember when you were in your 20s and had that first job that allowed you to really get to know all the kinds of co-workers that exist in the world? You know who I mean: – The one that is always maniacally chipper – The one that complains about everything always – The hypochondriac – The one […]
How Do You Quiet the Noise?
We’re all busy. Our minds are, too. Sometimes it’s hard to quiet them down so we can prioritize, work out what’s bothering us, let the important stuff rise to the top. Today I’m on In The Powder Room, sharing a story about something specific that helps me quiet the noise in my head. Something I […]
