Missing doses used to stress me out constantly — I'd get to lunch and genuinely couldn't remember if I took my morning pill or not. If you're juggling multiple medications, caring for an aging parent, or just terrible at remembering one daily vitamin, this is everything I tested until my system actually worked. Took me eight months of trial and error so you don't have to.

Children have 5 to 8 colds a year on average. This is because there are hundreds of different cold viruses and young children have no immunity to any of them as they have never had them before. They gradually build up immunity and get fewer colds. Most colds in younger children get better within 2 weeks.

Watching my mom struggle to reach her back in the shower was the thing that sent me down this rabbit hole. If you have a parent, grandparent, or you yourself deal with limited mobility, shoulder pain, or arthritis — this list is everything I found that actually makes bathing independent and comfortable again. Took me weeks of research and returns so you can skip straight to what works.

I got Covid in December of 2020 while teaching high school. I was not able to return for spring semester. In fact, I was in a wheelchair with a whole host of health issues until late summer of 2021. I was finally able to get around without a wheelchair eventually, but my life has never been the same. Four and a half years later, despite going to a Long Covid Clinic and seeing a multitude of doctors, I still don't have any real answers or treatments. I am better, but I am pretty sure I will always have a chronic illness that prevents me from living the same kind of life I did prior to Covid. This list is just going to consist of things that I have found helpful in this Long Covid Journey. I am in no way a medical professional, and I'm finding that with Long Covid, and probably other post-viral illnesses, something that works for one person may not work for another! But I am here to share what has given me at least a little bit of my life back or made things easier for me.

Listen… perimenopause has entered the chat and she’s unhinged. My sleep went from “I can function” to “why am I awake at 3 AM thinking about that one email I sent in 2014.” So I built a nighttime routine that helps me trick my body into believing we are calm, collected, and not currently fighting for our lives. This list is everything I use when I’m trying to sedate my nervous system like a Victorian woman with “the vapors.” Cooling pajamas because my internal thermostat is broken, a bath soak that convinces my muscles to stop clenching, my beloved Elemis body oil that makes me feel like a soft, moisturized goddess, plus the face cream and lip mask that make me look like I have my life together even when I absolutely do not. I also listen to calming audio because apparently my brain needs to be babysat to fall asleep now. If you’re dealing with night sweats, hormone chaos, or the kind of insomnia where you suddenly remember every embarrassing moment of your life, welcome. You’re safe here. This routine won’t fix your hormones, but it will help you sleep like someone who hasn’t Googled “is this normal??” three times today.

other things (click to view all) 🧚🏼‍♂️ braid your hair before surgery to keep it out of your face, your arms will hurt to lift due to the gas pain 🌺bring a pillow in the car to put between your belly and the seatbelt for the car ride home 🦋walk every few hours even on day 1, walk after everytime you eat. helps move the gas around and out of you !! sitting still will worsen pain and trap the gas. 🌱keep a journal and timers for pain medication. even if you don’t feel you need it, take that panadol every 4 hours. take your stronger meds when they are due. you would rather keep up to schedule with your timed medication then mess up the timing and be in a lot of pain. 🌝 no waistbands ! buy pants 2x your size, no waistband undies. i preferred low waisted things so my swollen belly could just be out and about, some people prefer extra high waisted things. your incisions will be where normal pant lines sit so it will have to be under or over them. make sure they are BIGGGG AND LOOOSEE!!!
