Mirror, Mirror
I have a mission for you; a little exercise in self-confidence you might call it. Most women spend a significant portion of their day looking in a mirror and assessing themselves. Usually negatively. I suspect a number of men do as well but not with same venom and fervor that women seem to. We really hate our bodies. Size doesn't even necessarily come into it. I've seen girls that could barely weigh 90 lbs hate on their bodies in front of a mirror.

Dear Tummy;
I wish we had a better relationship. I have been trying since I was a teenager to feel better about you but our negative relationship still haunts me every single day. I have tried everything to hide you. Extreme corsets, tummy-slimming undies, control top pantyhose, baggy shirts, those horribly uncomfortable tummy-tucking Lycra shorts thingies that just end up rolling down and creating a weird lump under my clothing... you name it, I've tried it. And still, there you are like a creepy stalker following me everywhere I go.

My Story: Diagnosis and Battle
It was by pure chance that I went to the emergency room one day in May. I had packed my work bag thinking I would be in and out within two hours, but that wasn’t the case. Who knew what I thought was “gas pain” would change my life forever.

Why Your Skin Doesn't Need to Degenerate with Age
Our skin is the largest organ and renews itself every 28 days while shedding 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells every minute. The health of our skin goes far beyond what we put on it but what state our gut environment is; our skin is essentially a window into our internal self! Common skin problems arise from hormones (it’s not your imagination, ladies!), nutritional imbalances, and immune system distress.

How to Grow Long, Healthy Hair
If you've clicked on this article, then I'm assuming you want to grow your hair (and I sure hope I'm not wrong). For years I have been growing out my hair, and when I reached the length I'd longed for, I did the most logical thing; chopped it all off. I regret it. I'm back on my hair growth journey, and thought I'd share some maintenance advice that helped me to achieve the length I wanted the first time around.
