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,
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
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
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
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
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
Now that we are all cooped up inside during this lockdown sans hairdressers, manicurists, aesteticians, sans everything, I know how tempting it can be to want to try DIY beauty treatments, but I am here to caution you about putting food on your face. I know Priyanka Chopra does it and she looks fabulous and amazing and that is great, but she is more the exception than the rule. Why
Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional or licensed dietician. Yes, I do a lot of research and have experienced the good, bad and ugly of detoxes, but this is opinion based on my experience and my research. This is not advice and is based on my body which is relatively healthy. Personal note: As a recovering OCD sufferer, detoxes, or any restrictive eating, does not bode well for my
Post may contain affiliate links, but keep reading anyway! I love watching YouTube videos of supermodels cleaning out their purses. I love to watch them pack a suitcase. I must not be the only one since these videos are pretty popular. That said, I always kind of chuckle a bit at how different MY bag is, especially once I became a mom. I recently purchased the Brooklyn tote from Tentree.
Fun Fact: I am part Swedish. My Swedish ancestry may also be because I am so Irish, that I register as an Irish Viking. I should change my Instagram handle! But that’s not the fun fact. The fun fact is that my Swedish kin have the largest caffeine consumption in the world. It was actually a running joke when I didn’t give up coffee when I was pregnant (except unwillingly
