For The Love of YOU
Valentine’s Day is here again and along with it the quest for the perfect gift, date, or experience to display your love to your partner. Even if you don’t give in to the pinks and reds surrounding you, you may feel a little pressured to participate, but what if you don’t have a partner this year?…

Are YOU on your list this year?
Every holiday season I struggle with holiday giving. The pressure to find the “perfect” gift can give even the best of us anxiety. Even with online shopping and overnight delivery there never seems to be enough time to complete shopping for everyone on the list, let alone think of yourself.…
New Turkey Day Traditions
When you get married you have these ideas about your family merging, large family gatherings and Hallmark quality photo ops and then reality happens. My family and our culture didn't really celebrate Thanksgiving (don't look at me like that) but my husband comes from such a large family that one…
Autumn
Marissa is working on a series of short stories that are completely relatable and hopefully thought provoking to our audience. Her first entry... Autumn. [BEEP, BEEP, BEEP]. Why does everything have to have an alarm nowadays, as though my attention deviating for one minute would somehow…
You Are Enough
Too often we as woman feel like we must compete. The world shows us images that are over altered and filtered to perfection. Social media displays lives more carefully curated than the MOMA, leaving us to question "what's wrong with this picture, why am I behind the others in this race". Without…
Love The Skin You’re In
When I was younger, I lost my mother early, so I didn't get some of the lessons you'd need later in life as a woman. I never got the birds and bees, "monthly," or boys talk. However, as I age, I realize there is another lesson to learn; the importance of taking care of the skin you're in. Living…

Hot Girl Summer
With the summer approaching and the world starting to reopen another ‘virus’ has begun spreading among us…Wanderlust. We need to travel and NOW! Maybe we still can’t make it to that far away island, but that shouldn’t stop us from exploring what’s in our own backyards. Now that small groups…
Spring Cleaning!
Each new season brings with it a unique opportunity, but there's something about Spring that gets a chance for rebirth and change. Since Spring is officially here (or so the calendar says despite the 30-degree mornings and 70-degree afternoons), let's take the opportunity to do some spring…
Coming Through The Abuse
You know that first drop of water that falls on your floor that first major rain of spring. No, you don’t. Why? Because many people don’t see the first drop of change. They live in a belief that they are protected from the elements, the outside, if they are safe in their home. But what if the…
It’s Getting Hot In Here
With boudoir, preferences vary. There are those that love to be photographed in natural light and surrounded by white (light and fluffy as Jenn calls it), and there are those that prefer to be edited and shot with a darker more moodier feel; but what exists between black and white? Enter our…
