Healthcare wasn’t something I thought about; it was something I took for granted. My father worked for the government, so growing up we had great insurance.

It was nice to have a bit of a break from blogging work. I didn’t write, I didn’t take outfit photos, I reduced my time on social media, and became a human again. The holiday season is the busiest time in my profession and having my mom’s surgery and such at the same time really…

For a long time, I was a “Rules” gal. Remember the book The Rules? Buy a twin bed, play hard to get, and nab Mr. Right. I followed a version of The Rules with this blog for many years; I let brands come to me. My blog was around for so long that Google loved…
I’m writing this from my mom’s house where I’ve been spending a good deal of time. She’s doing fantastically and cannot wait for next week when her drain will be removed.
