The One Where I Went to a Nutritionist
Disclaimer: This is what I have been told by an expert in the field. This does not take the place of getting your own diagnosis. Thank you. Ya’ll… It has been a while. And since then, I have gained a lot of weight. I weigh now what I weighed when I was pregnant with my youngest, and I am not pregnant. I told ya’ll I was on Prozac. My body,
Book and Movie Reviews: Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance, A Kentuckian’s Take
As ya’ll know, I am a native Kentuckian. I am as Kentucky as bourbon. That is why I was curious about this book, Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance. Apparently, a lot of people, especially Kentuckians, got in their feelings about this book. You can watch the movie to get a similar effect; it follows the book relatively closely, but it is the story of a young man, a direct descendant
Happy 2021 and updates
I am sorry I have been absent for a while. I think we can all agree that 2020 wasn’t an easy year for anyone. What I have been up to? When I figured out we would be in lockdown for over 2 weeks, I came up with some goals for myself; a list of feats I wanted to accomplish while I had no excuses. I will recap a few of
What I Think of the Naturium Scandal
I will be writing about some relatively deep subjects in some of my upcoming articles and am finishing up my book, which can be kinda dark in places, so I needed a lighter subject matter to keep me off the edge. As many of you may know, when that feeling comes, I usually start talking about skin care, music, movies or books (unless the book or movie was, in fact,
Big News: New Book
Guess what? I finally did it! I finally published a book! My dream was to publish a book by age 30… I am in my 30s, so that counts, right? This one is not my memoir, but acts as a companion to it. It is titled As a Living House and it is about tools, tips and tricks I used to overcome PTSD. I hope it can help you on
What the Hell Did I Just Watch?: A Quick and Dirty Review of Tiger King
Spoiler alerts are ahead. Maybe don’t read this until you’ve watched all of the series as I will include some major plot points. You have been warned! As ya’ll probably know, I am an animal rights activist. I have been since I was about 5 and would get into the box with my puppy when she started whining in the night. True story! Yours truly snuggled up in a box
Unringing a Bell: A Brief Blog About the Brain and Trauma Response
It has been a while since I have posted. To be honest, there isn’t a lot to blog about. I have been reading some books, but I have decided to start a video series about that. I have a lot of ideas, but I don’t really have a lot to put into practice. The haze of sheltering in place has begun to take its toll. At first, sheltering in place
The Chef is In: Recipes to Break Quarantine Monotony
This is my friend, Reed Gordon. He is Chef de Cuisine of the Greensboro Country Club. Reed agreed to do this post for me after we had a conversation about the lack of food options readily available during the quarantine and how I was beginning to get bored of eating and cooking the same meals over and over. I noticed, however, there is usually plenty of fish. I think it
How I Stay Fit-ish During Quarantine
I have a healthy appetite. I have as long as I can remember. I was never one of those girls who barely ate; I would ask for extra tortillas for my fajitas on a first date (true story). I also love carbs. Perhaps this is why I muscle train so hard. Lately however, I feel like I may have gained more bulk than lean muscle, which is the look I
