Vulnerable…me…hell no!
For those of you that don’t know what TED talks is I will roughly explain. They are 20-30 minute video lectures focused on science, the body, life, etc. The above TED talks is Brene Brown’s discussion on vulnerability. I fell in love with her when I saw this on Facebook a while ago and came…

Yes, for those in the Boston area, you are breathing a sigh of relief this morning. The humidity, for now, has decided to depart. After writing yesterday’s post Smashing Baby! I was reflecting on my own irritability and discontent. I had a moment of pure laughter at how irritable I was on a Saturday when I…

Allow myself to introduce…..myself. I am silly and back in the day i was obsessed with Austin Powers. Until this day all I have to do is see Michael Myers in that character (or any character for that matter) I erupt into shits and giggles so to speak. My roommates at the time of my…

Read MoreWhat is the point of eating healthy, we are all going to go someday, someway, right?

Read MoreSugar is toxic…shocking!
Yes, sugar is toxic. Those of us who have been sugar addicted I don’t think were ever doing anything healthy by indulging. In 2011 The New York Times put out an article “Is Sugar Toxic?” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17Sugar-t.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 : which detailed all the ways in which yes people, it is.
