A few months ago, I had a pretty enlightening conversation with my therapist. Yes, I see a therapist. This is me stating it like a celebrity pregnancy announcement. A common theme she and I talk about is how I can continue to seek balance in my life. Balance was something I struggled with back when… Continue reading Advice from my Therapist

Just Being- the COVID series
Today I’m coming at you LIVE from my kitchen with a holiday candle burning, Folklore playing, and my second glass of wine in hand. My landlord technically doesn’t allow candles, but I simply cannot be tamed. Today was different than a lot of days I have had lately. For the first time in a while,… Continue reading Just Being- the COVID series

Opting Out of the Food Competition
Living in a small (but lovely) town of about 400 people means there can be limited opportunities for activities to do.

My Thoughts on Nike’s Plus-Size Mannequin
In early June, Nike released a new plus-size mannequin in one of its locations in Oxford, London. Many people weren’t shy to express their dismay of this “controversial” addition, out of fear that showing a plus-size mannequin would be a misstep in the fight against obesity.

Getting “Back on Track”
When I was six, I was a flower girl in my aunt and uncle’s wedding. At the reception, I kind of stole the show with my air guitar moves, and the crowd loved it. So as a natural born performer, I took it up a notch and slid around on the ground until I broke… Continue reading Getting “Back on Track”
