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…
A Girlfriends Guide to Baecation
We all know there are times when you need a girlfriend's suggestion for those more personal things, like a GYN referral or colorist who won't turn your hair orange on the way to blonde. So, it's natural to seek the same counsel of a girlfriend when you're looking to getaway. For this, I turned to…

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…

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching the supermarkets and stores have turned their white walls red and pink awash in celebration of Valentine’s Day. Sponsored by Hallmark and the FTD the holiday can make some of the more cynical of us a bit overwhelmed. Especially if you are in a…
Head to Toe shopping guide
I am in month six of IF (Intermittent Fasting) and as a treat, I decided to put some of the subscriptions I’ve been paying for to use and dress myself from head to toe for my holiday Zoom parties! Given my recent luck with Stitch Fix, I figured I didn’t have much to lose. Well, Ladies you are my…
