I regularly get comments on my skin, how it looks so good. I don’t have Botox or any treatments or procedures, I only see a dermatologist for the occasional skin check, I don’t use any prescriptions. I do look my full 45 years, but my skin is in good shape, especially since I spent more…
We’re in scary times, and we all live different lives in different communities, affected in different ways by what is going on across the globe. I know many of us are affected financially by this, and I want to be sensitive to this fact. I know many are isolated and alone. Several are “at risk”…
I’m not writing about the coronavirus because people shouldn’t be getting health advice from blogs. All I can say on it is that you don’t need more plastic bottles of water to ward it off or survive it, and please please PLEASE wash your hands. Even if you’re home all day, wash your hands. Your…
When I went to New York City for NYFW, I had the pleasure of visiting the headquarters for Pari Passu, a luxury plus-size clothing brand. I was able to see where the clothes are made, see mood boards for their upcoming collection, and the brand’s famous dress forms created from the 3D body scans of…

I’ve been to a dozen different gynecologists, from fancy practices with glass walls and high-tech to state college health centers…
Tuesday I attended training to be an election judge for my county. Maryland has its primaries at the end of April and though I’ve taken this training before, it was back in 2018 and a refresher was well appreciated. Also, since 2018 our county has updated some aspects of voting. We now offer same-day registration;…
I don’t know about you, but a lot of times when I see websites and influencers promoting what they consider athleisure, it isn’t terribly… realistic for real life. Personally, I’m not going to wear a cropped hoodie and high-waist leggings to the grocery store, nor will I also wear a thin jersey off the shoulder…
I joined my first swim team in elementary school, joined a second winter swim team in middle school, and as soon as I was old enough I became certified as a lifeguard and pool operator. My vacations are based upon the proximity to water – ocean, pool, lake, it doesn’t matter as long as I…
