I love researching and learning about how amazing our bodies are! It's not about how we look but how we feel! 💪🤗🌟 As a life long dancer I am passionate about having a strong, functional, and happy healthy body. Over the years I have taken some wear and tear. These are things I have done extensive research on and implement into my lifestyle. These are some of the things that keep me going.

I was diagnosed (via a scalp biopsy) with Androgenetic Alopecia that was triggered by an episode of Telogen Effluvium. I've been dealing with hair loss for about 2 years now, but I have finally started to see serious regrowth in the last few months. I have cats, so I cannot take minoxidil (and I didn't want to have to take such a heavy pharmaceutical for the rest of my life to maintain my hair growth). I did start taking a low dose of spironolactone as prescribed by my derm as well as using all of these products consistently. In addition to the scalp and hair treatments, I also massively increased my protein and omega-3 intake. If you are also on a hair loss journey, I wish you all the best and I hope something here helps you as much as it has me. Losing hair can be emotionally devastating it was intensely traumatizing for me. Take good care of yourself and know that it is possible to see results with consistency <3

Periods are just a part of life, let's make the best of it with these amazing products. I love the fact that basically all these items are also FSA / HSA approved! So don't forget to use those funds for stuff you're going to need anyway.

Lying in bed staring at the ceiling for two hours every night wrecked my mornings for years. I tried melatonin, white noise apps, even that banana tea hack from TikTok. Nothing stuck until I built a whole sleep ritual around the right diffuser, the right oils, and a few other things that knocked me out cold. This is for anyone who dreads bedtime because they know they'll just be awake overthinking. Took me 14 months of trial and error so you can skip straight to sleeping.

This list will provide necessary tools, equipment, leisure items to make your loved ones end of life care the best possible. As well as resources you can use to navigate this time period.

It's usually the times you don't have something or run out that something happens or you'll need that thing so I always try to keep my family medical cupboard stacked with my fave essentials. You can never be to prepared for the unknown. Enjoy. Lace.

Pregnancy is not for the weak. Here is everything that helped me survive this tough 40-week experience. You do not need to suffer unnecessarily. While you can’t necessarily be completely comfortable when you’re pregnant there are a lot of things you can do to make it better. You deserve it. I’m the mom of one amazing daughter. She is currently 3 1/2 years old. I am a full-time working mom. I do the best that I can. When I was pregnant, I had so many aches and pains. I had pre-existing neck and shoulder pain that didn’t help anything. My little girl was completely worth it however it was a really hard time. These are the things I wish I knew about from Day One that would’ve made my life a lot easier however, I’m lucky that I had friends and family to help guide me and find these products that really truly did help.

Real talk: Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday and my busiest season in the chair. Pie, candied yams, caramel everything, a bottle of red wine nobody asked for — and then the first week of December is a parade of chipped teeth and 'it only hurts when I chew'. So this year I'm getting ahead of it. This is the kit I wish every patient had in their bag before the holiday: post-feast rescue tools, travel-ready oral care for the trip home, and the teeth-friendly snacks and swaps that let you enjoy the whole spread without the January root canal energy. Vulnerability disclosure: I once cracked a molar on a rogue piece of pecan pie crust at a family dinner and had to sit through dessert pretend-chewing on one side. Never again. As always, this is general guidance, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist.

In 2023 I had gastric bypass. This is my list of items that helped me survive and thrive after surgery. Your tastes change SOOOOOO MUCH after surgery, things that used to taste good, just don't. These are things that helped me adjust to the new lifestyle and made life easier!

When you want to give something helpful or meaningful to show your care & support these suggestions just might fit the bill, but just remember you don't always have to give a store bought item to show you care. Your stable presence, kindness, patience and consistency mean everything.

Everyone goes through cold and flu season at some point in time in their lives. Currently I'm in my cold and flu season era... Well at the tail end of it.

So here are a list of items I highly recommend if you are in your cold and flu season era, some of which date back centuries, and have been passed down from ancestor to ancestor. May these remedies, ingredients and natural plants heal you 🌿💚

Sitting at a desk eight hours a day wrecked my feet in ways I never expected. My arches seized up, my plantar fascia screamed every morning, and no amount of stretching before bed was cutting it.
