Site Prep with Dan // Volume 5

My husband answers questions about childhood crushes, his proposal, and more! | Belle Brita

After a two-month hiatus, Dan and I are back with Site Prep with Dan. I have missed the chance to interview him each month and find out more about him.

Feminism 101: Purity Culture

An overview of Christian Purity Culture. What are the key characteristics of Purity Culture? How is it a subset of rape culture?

It’s been a few months since I last covered a topic under Feminism 101. It’s been even longer since my post explaining rape culture. If you need a reminder, I recommend you reread that post before continuing with Purity Culture. Purity Culture is a religious subset of rape culture. While Purity Culture is not limited to… [Read More]

Christians: the Most Vocal Group in America

Christian Americans are not marginalized, persecuted, or scorned in the United States. Let's stop pretending we are. | Belle Brita

Note: This is a response to Christians: the Most Silenced Group of All. Please note that I focus only on American Christians in this response, while the author seemingly writes from a broad perspective. However, she vaguely refers to American-specific situations, and she’s an American blogger.  I’m an American Christian, one of the most privileged… [Read More]

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. Third graders (usually) haven’t yet learned how to bully their peers. In other ways, my early diagnosis made me grow up… [Read More]

Pretending to Be a Beauty Blogger // Volume 2

I might not wear much makeup, but I take great care of my skin and hair! Read my reviews of my latest beauty finds.

Last time Influenster sent me beauty products to try, I mentioned that I rarely wear makeup. That is still true, a few months later. The last time I wore a full face of makeup (foundation, blush, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, lipstick) was for my mom’s memorial service. Mom loved to wear makeup. She regularly… [Read More]
