How to Recover from a Lazy Vacation and Restart a Healthy Lifestyle

Did you lose track of your healthy goals during vacation? With these tips, you can bounce back immediately! | Belle Brita

This is a sponsored post through Brandbacker. All opinions are my own. I received skincare products in exchange for my honest derma e review.

How Wii Fit Helps Me Meet My Fitness Goals

Wii Fit debuted many years ago, but it's still a helpful tool for anyone wanting to improve a sedentary lifestyle. How can the Wii Fit help YOU? | Belle Brita

How to Survive School with Crohn’s Disease

Pink backpack, brown shoes, pink and white clothing. Text overlay reads: "How to Survive School with Crohn's Disease"

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease when I was only 8 years old, almost exactly 20 years ago. In some ways, my young age made it easier for me to manage school with Crohn’s Disease.

World IBD Day 2015

For World IBD Day, let's talk about Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

Happy World IBD Day! If you’re new to my blog, you might not realize I have Crohn’s Disease. Crohn’s is one of two types of IBDs (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). The other is Ulcerative Colitis, which my mother-in-law has. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s when I was 8. I have yet to meet anyone diagnosed as… [Read More]

Enjoy an At-Home Spa Day with L’OCCITANE and Vaseline Skin Products

You don't have to leave your home to indulge in a spa day! Follow these tips and tricks to rejuvenate your skin and reconnect with your significant other, all in the privacy of your own home.

While Influenster provided me with the Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair lotion, the L’OCCITANE Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream, the Montagne Jeunesse Peel-Off Masque, and the Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask, my opinions are my own.

United Healthcare Refuses to Cover My Prescriptions

I have two prescriptions. United Healthcare, our health insurance, refuses to cover either of them.

I take two monthly prescriptions. I take Pentasa for my Crohn’s Disease. I take hormonal contraception via the Patch to prevent pregnancy AND to help with my periods/cramps. Dan and I found out about a month ago that United Healthcare, the health insurance offered through his work, won’t cover the Patch. For the record, my… [Read More]
