Back in June I shared 10 Reasons Why I’m a Feminist. (Although the url says 29, and it’s too late to fix that). I’ve had an incredibly busy week, and I didn’t have time to write my intended post for today. So instead, here are 5 more reasons why I’m a feminist! Why I’m a Feminist Based on a very representative sample of Americans (my Facebook friends), people feel more anger at Colin Kaepernick for quietly sitting… [Read More]
An Unbiased Guide on How to Vote in the 2016 Presidential Election
A Slightly Biased Guide on How to Vote in the 2016 Presidential Election might be a more accurate description. But I at least tried to be unbiased, so I went with the catchy title! The 2016 presidential election has already been unlike any other, and we’re still stuck with a few more months of campaigning. At least I don’t live in Ohio anymore! Understandably, a lot of Americans feel genuinely conflicted about how to vote… [Read More]

So while the initial bloating was mild, I knew that discomfort… [Read More]
Wild Adventures: Fun at Heart for the Young at Heart
Wild Adventures provided me with four media passes to their park in exchange for blog and social media coverage. All opinions are my own. Dan and I are like two little kids who just happen to be responsible. We find potty humor hilarious. (I do have Crohn’s Disease after all). Pizza and boxed mac & cheese are staples in our diet. I still love the Disney Channel, and Dan still loves video games and computer… [Read More]
How to Style a Floral Tank // Mint Julep Boutique Review
This Mint Julep Boutique review is not a sponsored post. I just really love this tank top I bought from them! A few years ago, I came across the most beautiful floral tank top on the Mint Julep Boutique’s Instagram account. I desperately wanted it. I did not buy it. But I did share it with friends, who all agreed it was a britastic floral tank. And then the Mint Julep Boutique had a sale…. [Read More]
