In Honor of my 33rd birthday, I made a list of the things that I have learned in the past 33 years. Some of them took me far more time then they should have but here they are! For the rest of the world to see and learn. Looking forward to the next 33 lessons [...]
It is no secret from the posts that I have made about Body Dysmorphia and fad dieting that my relationship, like so many's relationship, with food is a complicated one. We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with messages about food and how we should look. What is the next diet we [...]
I am so all about the spring and I hope that we really have one this year and it doesn't just go from 25 degrees to 80 degrees. Give me a nice little transition where I have to wear a light jacket outside any day! I didn't move from Texas to be hit with 95% [...]
