I made a post already about my wash routine but this is more about what I suggest as we face scarcity.

::My Eating Path
About this time 2 years ago I had a diet revolution! My son was about 0.75 years old and I saw things about factory farming on Pinterest that shook me, so I decided to go vegan. I tried that and it didn’t seem sustainable for me so I did my best to just stay vegetarianContinue reading “::My Eating Path”
::Back At It
So, where I am at is, I took about a month long break from trying to eat healthy and working out. Thankfully I did not gain any weight but I am pretty certain that I lost some muscle and gained some fat in the process. Somehow I must have been more active than previously becauseContinue reading “::Back At It”
::One of the Pains of Professional Mental Help
I started seeing my most recent psychotherapist in 2017. It was right at the end of the year so my first real appointment was in January 2018. I had pretty severe anxiety that made me believe that I was going to drop over dead any minute. It felt really brutal at the time. But thatContinue reading “::One of the Pains of Professional Mental Help”
::Given Up on Weight Loss
I hate to admit this, I really do; but I seem to have completely given up on losing weight. I still want to lose weight and be a healthier version of myself, but most of my motivation is gone. I really wish I understood what goes on in my head but I don’t completely. UpContinue reading “::Given Up on Weight Loss”
::For Life
I feel like maybe I should put a Trigger Warning here. Trigger Warning due to infant loss and miscarriage. I am going to write my feelings on this very controversial topic. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me but I hope that it might make people think. This is my experience through a pregnancyContinue reading “::For Life”
::Social Anxiety
My whole life I have been cursed with social anxiety. I didn’t know or realize this until I was well into adulthood and started having panic attacks. Since 2018 I have been managing panic attacks pretty well and haven’t really had one in months. But, social anxiety curses me almost every time I go outContinue reading “::Social Anxiety”
::Breastfeeding
I have had a long breastfeeding journey, considering I have been at it since June of 2017. It hasn’t always been easy and sometimes it isn’t the super magical, lovey dovey experience everyone imagines. But most of the time it is. Haha. There’s so many benefits to breastfeeding but I understand that sometimes it canContinue reading “::Breastfeeding”
::My Weight Over the Holidays
Finally the holidays are behind us! As much as I enjoy Christmas and all of the festivities, it can be super rough trying to keep on track when you are trying to figure out how to eat right. In my first post, I mentioned that I would be seeing a nutritionist weekly. So every ThursdayContinue reading “::My Weight Over the Holidays”
Co-Sleeping (My Experience)
At an appointment with my therapist a few weeks ago, I was telling her about a conversation that I had with my husband. I had said to him that I enjoy having the kids in bed with me and that a lot of the time I sleep with my baby daughter, snuggled up to myContinue reading “Co-Sleeping (My Experience)”
