My Body is Not an Open Bar, and Not All Men are Alcoholics

This metaphor is possibly the most annoying part of #Modesty Culture.

Let me cut straight to the chase. If you earnestly plead with me that good Christian women should just cover up to help their frail, weak, pathetic Christian brothers not to lust, I will still bother to refute your points with as much politeness as I can muster. But if you offer up the ridiculous,… [Read More]

Duct Tape Light Switch DIY

Fun and easy light switch cover #DIY with duct tape!

Post contains Amazon Affiliate links. See my Disclosure for more information. Several months ago, I found this awesome pin to decorate light switch covers with washi tape. And then I found this Paris-patterned Duck tape on clearance! Clearly I had to combine the two ideas to decorate my light switch covers for my home office…. [Read More]

Are You My Doctor? Then Stop Talking.

I've had Crohn's Disease for almost 20 years. Stop offering me fake cures.

I have suffered in silence for almost 20 years. I will be silent no more. If you are not my gastroenterologist, please stop giving me unsolicited medical advice. I’m sure you mean well when you tell me I can cure myself if I just change my diet or start this new miracle drug or dance… [Read More]

Can We Just Stop with the Bad Relationship Advice Already?

I Don’t Work for Free (and Neither Should You)

Creatives are often expected to work for free in exchange for "exposure." Sometimes that is a good deal, but only you can determine that.

A few months ago, a well-known company that rhymes with “Jilliams Ponoma” contacted me, asking if I were interested in writing a blog post about wedding registry “do’s and don’t’s.” I was pretty excited about this opportunity since Belle Brita is a fairly new blog. I’ve also wanted to write about wedding registries from a… [Read More]

Never Have I Ever… But I Will

Who wants to play a game of Never Have I Ever?

For this month’s link-up of The Circle, Kiki challenged us to a good old-fashioned game of “Never Have I Ever.” I’ve put together a short list of things I want to do, along with a few cool things I’ve done. Does everyone have their drink in hand? Take a sip for each of these you’ve… [Read More]
