5 Reasons to Take Birth Control (Besides Preventing Pregnancy)

Birth control is prescribed to women for more than just preventing pregnancies. Here are 5 reasons why you might need to take hormonal contraception. | Belle Brita

With everything going on in my life, I haven’t been blogging much lately. Luckily I have a guest post to share with y’all today on a topic near and dear to my heart: hormonal contraception. When I was 24, my menstrual cramps became intolerable. I spent an entire day bedridden from pain during each menstrual… [Read More]

August 2017 Goals // July Recap

Time to return to goal-setting! I have big plans for August.

Well. July didn’t exactly go as planned. Or rather, the hopes for productivity didn’t totally happen. As anticipated, I was depressed. (Still am). Add in a slew of Crohn’s problems, and you have me not doing much for a month. But I accomplished my biggest goal–I launched a new website to promote my mom’s book!… [Read More]

July 2017 Goals // June Recap + 3rd Blogiversary!

I love setting monthly goals to feel accountable in changing my life! | Belle Brita

Tomorrow we celebrate a great day in history… The day Belle Brita launched. Yes, my first-ever blog post here was on July 4, 2014. If I could do it over again, I would not have my first blog post be on a holiday. Hence why I’m blogging about my 3rd blogiversary a day early. Related:… [Read More]

30 Before 30 Recap: Hits and Misses by My 30th Birthday

Interested in creating your own 30x30 bucket list? In honor of my 30th birthday, I've recapped my hits and misses while explaining what worked and what went wrong. | Belle Brita

Earlier this month, I celebrated my 30th birthday! In fact, the celebration continues today as the last day of my birthday month. I created my 30 Before 30 list shortly after my mother died. At the time, I was still in this weird limbo of grief, a combination of numbness and denial. I was both… [Read More]

To celebrate my 30th birthday, I'm looking back on the moments that changed my life for the better in my 20s. | Belle Brita

Happy birthday to me! Today, I am 30. It’s so weird to leave my 20s. In a few weeks, I’ll recap my successes (and failures) of my 30 Before 30 List. Related: 30 Before 30 Update, with 5 Months to Go They say that comparison is the thief of joy. As I compare myself to… [Read More]

June 2017 Goals // May Recap

I set monthly goals to make incremental changes in my life! Eventually my goals become regular habits. | Belle Brita

Wow, May flew by. I feel like I say this every month, but where did the time go? How is it already MY BIRTHDAY MONTH?! Even though I only blogged three times in May, I accomplished so many of my goals. Sometimes behind-the-scenes blog work dominates my time. You might not be able to see… [Read More]
