I recently shared a fun conversation with my bff. The topic? My anxiety ‘quirks’ and ‘concerns’. Some of them, (I’ll admit) a little over the top. Imagine my joy when she quickly assured me that she shared similar thoughts and worries. I wasn’t alone. While

If you currently have the boobs you were born with, and aren’t worried about losing them – this post ISN’T for you.  This is for the gal searching hashtags like #mastectomy, #reconstruction and #breastcancer.  The one who found out she needs to start removing things to survive.

Have you noticed that in stressful times – we turn to simple comfort foods and not fancy cuisine? Think about it. Can you really enjoy culinary wizardry with teeny portions and exquisite presentations – while curled up on the sofa in your sweatpants? That’s a
