The problem with working out is that most people are doing it the wrong way. You’re exercising in a way that’s not enjoyable, not effective and not showing results. And when you hate what you’re doing, you’re not seeing and progress and you feel as if you are doing nothing more than wasting your time, […] More
When I stand in front of the mirror, I hate my thighs and my arms. I’m convinced they are awful, disgusting and absolutely horrendous. I still swear by that, even though I know realistically that they are not. My arms are strong and tone (and tan these days) from carrying two infant car seats filled […] More

Skinny: It’s an ugly word. Trim, fit, thin; they’re all much better. But you which word is the best word to describe a woman’s body? Healthy; because healthy encompasses so many beautiful things. Not all women are built to be ‘skinny’ and some will never be ‘skinny’ but that doesn’t mean they aren’t trim and […] More
A migraine is a headache on crack. Okay, so I’ve never tried crack (or any drug of any sort for that matter) but when I compare my migraines to regular headaches, they seem so excessive. A headache is a pain. It’s annoying and it’s uncalled for and it’s irritating. A migraine, on the other hand, […] More
