It's Exactly What It Sounds Like
I recently took a staycation and it was the best decision I made this summer. I didn’t realize how much I needed that time off to just do simple things that helped me refresh and feel stress-free. As I started thinking about the little things I did for just one day and how good they … Continue reading Guest Post: How To Relax
I recently re-experienced the joys of being vodka daydrunk while at a bachelorette party, but things are different now. I'm in my late twenties. My body has created and expelled two whole human beings. Things are starting to deteriorate. I can't go as hard as I used to, and when I try, I only end … Continue reading How To Handle A Hangover
Welcome to September! It's Virgo season y'all, and we're going to get our shit together. This month, we're challenging ourselves (and you!) to start or re-start a basic, healthy habit that's fallen by the wayside.

My four-year-old started kindergarten last week and she's doing great. Of course she is - she's everything I was always both hopeful and terrified I'd have in a daughter: vivacious, self-possessed, confident, personable, smart as a whip, and charming.

I wanna start this post off with a big hefty HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Especially to those of us whose Valentine's Day is depressingly no different than every other weekday, since romance has been long dead in our relationships and our jobs don't give a heck about a this fake holiday. More excitingly, however, I want … Continue reading Winners & Goodbyes

The riced cauliflower is part of my increasing need to 'be healthy,' something that seems to grow with every passing year. It's compounded by the fact I now have two … Continue reading HTLYT How-To: Apply Sunless Tanner
Your boss, your landlord and your mother walk into a bar… and she sits down to order a drink. There is no punchline. This intro is not a joke. Instead, it's my life. In January of this year I decided I was done being unhappy in my relationship with my boyfriend of almost 7 years … Continue reading Guest Post: How To Survive Moving Back Home
It's not a secret that I'm going through a slump right now. You can tell because of my whiny, self-indulgent previous post, plus the fact that I keep missing weeks of blogging which (I like to think) is unusual for me. I nearly missed this week, too; I watched as the afternoon came and went, … Continue reading Why Every Girl Needs A Kim
When I was twelve, I was an odd duck.We sort of already touched on this before, but there are some things that I haven't been willing to admit, especially on such a public, permanent platform.
