I’ve always had the urge to wander and explore. I remember being a child peering out of the car window on our long drives to San Diego and just wondering what was out there in the vast, great sky. When our family would go to the desert, I would find myself looking out into the […]

Touch and Connection
As I watched my 7 year old son melt into my bed as I gave him an essential oil rub down, my mind started turning. I became curious about the importance of human touch. Over the past few months I have given countless “massages” to my partner and children and I have grown to really […]
Correct-X – For The Win
So, I’m obviously shameless when it comes to sharing information about myself on the internet…unless its Facebook, I don’t really do Facebook very well. Anyways, I experienced an awful hormonal break out under my jaw line recently (okay, honestly it has been going on for about 8 months). I mean awful! The kind of break […]
I’m NEVER drinking again!!!
How many times have you been out with your friends and the good times were rollin’ and so were the drinks…one thing leads to another and the next thing you know you’re in an Uber heading home.

Maybe you want to change something physical about yourself, maybe you want to change your job, relationship status, living situation? It’s possible you dislike something […]
A Quick Holiday Party Survival Guide
Does your office have a holiday party? Do your friends have a holiday pot luck? Does your family have a holiday gathering? Are you often caught between a rock and a hard place (read: dry celery stick and a chewy gingerbread cookie) when it comes to food aversions and trying not to be “that” girl […]
On The 12th Day Of Christmas My True Love Gave To Me…
…an optical migraine and irritability. But really, Christmas is only 12 DAYS AWAY! In the past, this grounding fact would have stressed me out and had me reaching for the most glutenous, starchy, sugary, upset-stomach, break-out inducing foods I could get my hands on. Not to mention, I would have been an intolerable human to […]
