Vegetarianism
Vegetarianism by definition is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood and the flesh of any other animal), and may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter.

Many people have heard of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but few (including myself) actually know what it is.

My story actually … Continue reading Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Keeping it real
Keeping it real. I'm sitting here in my bed (please note that is actually 2:15pm so really shouldn't be in bed) but it's raining! Yes, actual real soaking rain and it's just heavenly to watch and listen to. The drought has been so severe it's just bliss to have some rain. Hopefully (fingers crossed) this … Continue reading Keeping it real
Postpartum body
Postpartum body. The topic that consumes my thoughts a LOT! And when I say a lot I mean that it is something I think about and obsess about probably 70 - 80% of the day.
