New Girl Made me Want to Have 4 Male Roommates

When New Girl originally came out, I was looking for a place to live. After not being able to find a roommate for my amazing apartment in an even more amazing location, I set myself up to move in with a girl from work, which didn’t work out — at all. I lived there for […]

Why you Should Always Know Where you’re Staying When Travelling

So, you’re getting quite happy at a pub down in Edinburgh, when the club downstairs starts hopping. Downing your whisky sour, you bop your way down the stairs and into the dark, smokey, and dancerific club. You have yourself a real good time and decide to leave. The bloke out front tells you that he […]

Why you Shouldn’t Believe the Internet About Morocco

I’m writing this post on a sleepy morning in Chefchaouen; the call to prayer long ago waking me up and my stubborn body deciding that it really is time to awaken. A rooster is yelling his good mornings off in the distance and my husband is snoring softly beside me. Everything is quiet except my […]

I’m Falling in Love with Libraries, Again

When I was younger, I used to frequent the local library. My mom, our neighbour, and her two kids would walk from our house to the library (back when people didn’t automatically own two cars), pick out some books, and if we were lucky, stop in at the McDonald’s afterwards. As I got older, I […]

Why we Need to Talk About Pain Management for Women. Now.

I’ve been a woman for a few decades now, but I am just beginning to realize how absolutely abysmal so many things are for us. The top of the list for me right now? Pain management or the lack of any type of management. As someone who has suffered from chronic pain for nearly two […]

Can I Work in a Social Media Age?

I don’t think I can be the type of person that Instagram needs you to be. I don’t like reels. I honestly do not enjoy videos and would rather read, or look at static images. I don’t make any stories. I have no schtick. It’s just me. Take it or leave it. It’s why, though […]

I Might be Ending my Relationship with Heels

For years, I always gravitated towards heels. As someone who is barely 5’4, heels made the world seem brighter — and made me able to reach the higher shelves at work. I loved heels since I knew how to walk in them in high school. One of my favourite compliments is from a great-aunt who […]

Why I Don’t Care if my House Looks Messy, Anymore

Our home. Is there anything so wonderful and comfortable? The feeling of throwing yourself on your own bed with your own comfy blankets and pillows after travelling is one of the best feelings in the world. Sitting on the couch, snuggled in a nest of blankets and pillows (perhaps there’s a theme here at my […]

Living with that Mom Belly

A woman’s weight. You’d think we’d be over this obsession, this thought that it is more than her worth, that it makes up her worth, and yet… There’s nothing like putting your body through an absolute wringer. Getting pregnant, watching as your belly swells and all kinds of crazy shit happens to your body. People […]
