Never Good Enough – A Lesson in Loving Myself
Never good enough. Oh man, if that doesn’t smother any hope of awesomeness, I don’t know what does. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for self-improvement and the constant willingness to up your game. But when you never acknowledge the triumphs, embrace the accomplishments, or celebrate the victories, why bother? After all, life is a game, and the accomplishment of goals no matter how big or small are everything, but I’m getting ahead of myself… See this picture? I never shared it on my social media. Or these… You know why? Because I was super self-conscious…and I still thought I was fat. Even though I had lost over 70 pounds.…
Wear Whatever You Want to Wear, Pretty Please
My mom just turned 70. She was born in 1946. How awesome is that? My mother-in-law made a low-sugar gorgeous cake, I made a slideshow of my mom’s life from childhood through to the present, and four generations turned up to celebrate this momentous occasion including her grandkids, and great-grandchildren. My personal gift to her was an evening of painting on canvas, and dinner—just the two of us. While we were at dinner, a girl walked by in a cute outfit that looked a little vintage—a romper with a 40’s flavor. My mom admired it wistfully, and said, “That’s really cute. I guess I’m too old for that sort of…
10 Things Women Over 30 Need to Start Doing
Man, oh man. Over the past few months, I’ve stumbled across a few random articles and blog posts with headlines that read: 10 Hairstyles Women Over 30 Need to Stop Getting, or 30 Things Women Over 30 Need to Stop Owning, or 25 Things Women Over 30 Need to Stop Wearing, or other similar stupid, narrow-minded titles. I’m not going to share the exact links because frankly, I don’t want to send blog traffic to this sort of nonsense. I can tell you that I’m the exact type of woman that she’s writing about. But you know what’s funny? So is every other fabulous, gorgeous, happy, brilliant, successful, amazing, sexy,…
Why I Ditched Tampons For Good
Can we have a candid discussion about our vaginas please? Because, these poor girls are not getting the love they should be. No. I’m not talking about sex. That’s a discussion for a different post. I’m talking about once a month love, and the fact that most pre-menopausal women are actually quietly poisoning their bodies from the inside out. Every. Single. Month. I’m talking about tampons, Ladies. Don’t groan. Just please hear me out on this. I know, I know. But tampons are so convenient and easy, and I can just toss them when I’m done. But, did you know that the vast majority of cotton is now GMO (genetically…
Welcome to Girl Talk
Why, hello there Beautiful. I’m so glad you dropped by. I love it when we get a chance to talk candidly about the sort of stuff we really need to talk about as girls. You know, all the random stuff we never really get to talk about, and might even be too embarrassed to Google. Yeah. That sort of stuff. Well, luckily we have each other so we can talk about whatever we want to right here. But what if some guy comes here and tries to eavesdrop? Well, that could be awkward… for him. He’d find out more than he wanted to know about how we deal with ungrateful uteruses and…
Be awesome. Every. Single. Day.
