Sleep was the first thing perimenopause took from me. I would fall asleep fine and then wake at 3am drenched, wired, and staring at the ceiling. For months I blamed stress, then my mattress, then myself. What actually turned it around was not one magic fix but a small system: cool the body, calm the nervous system, and remove the things quietly sabotaging me overnight. This is that system, in the order I would rebuild it if I were starting again tonight.

Lying awake at 2AM doing mental math on how many hours of sleep you'd get ‘if you fell asleep right now’ — yeah, that was my nightly ritual for years.

Took me way too many returns and wasted nights to narrow it down, so steal my research.
High blood pressure (hypertension) often develops quietly, but targeted lifestyle modifications can make a significant impact.

Last winter I caught every single cold that went around — three in four months, and I was miserable from November through February. Started brewing ginger turmeric tea nightly, added a few supplements, and honestly haven't had more than a sniffle since. This is everything I use now, from the teas and spices to the mugs I actually look forward to holding. If you're the person who dreads winter because your immune system just rolls over and surrenders, save yourself the trial and error I went through.
Braces pain had me avoiding solid food and waking up with raw cheeks stuck to my pillow — if you're the person carrying a mirror everywhere to check for cuts and bleeding, this is the lineup that got me through 18 months of orthodontic hell so you can skip the trial and error.
These are cold and flu remedies I swear by. Also work preventatively, when you know you’re gonna be around people that are sick. I try my best to implement these all into my routine in winter time, and I rarely get sick.
These vitamins and supplements helped change my life, Whether it be from gut health to daily essentials to workout supplements. These are my ride or die products.
Living with stage 1 lipedema has definitely been a journey, but through a semi-healthy balanced lifestyle, consistent low-intensity movement, walking, and finding tools that personally help my body feel supported, I’ve been able to maintain my legs without progressing to stage 2… even through pregnancy and now moving into my mid-30s. 🤍
These are products that I personally enjoy using as part of my routine for comfort, circulation support, recovery, movement, and overall wellness. While these items are NOT a cure for lipedema, they have personally helped me with relief, recovery, and supporting my body in slowing progression alongside healthy lifestyle habits.
Everyone’s body responds differently, especially with lipedema, so what works for me may not work for everyone. Please always consult with your doctor or healthcare provider before trying any new products, therapies, supplements, compression, vibration tools, or recovery devices.
Taking care of your gut health is so much more than a probiotic. It’s a lifestyle. And it’s totally worth it to take care of yourself. Taking care of your gut is the new self-care and we as women need to work on it so that we can be there for others.
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. And growing up I always had access to herbs and Chinese medicine. This is what my sister and I both grew up on, and honestly we didn't know anything else. All I knew was that I was a kid who grew up on homeopathics, plants, herbs and natural remedies.
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 🌿💚

This one is near and dear to my heart. In 2023 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was a huge shock for all of us, especially when it has never ran in the family. There is not a lot of time to process a diagnosis like this, and treatment has to be done FAST. My mom was given the choice to go through chemo, where there was no guarantee it would destroy all the cancer, or to have a double mastectomy. She chose the mastectomy. I cannot say that I know exactly how she felt, but I know it was a really dark time for her. She had a hard time accepting she was losing her breasts and she felt like a piece of her womanhood was about to be taken from her. It was so important for me to give her as much love and support during this time for her. I am so thankful to say, she is doing so much better and was able to have a reconstructive surgery. I tried my best to provide her with items that were helpful after her surgery (for the mastectomy and the reconstructive surgery). These were items that my mother told me were her favorite and we would love to share her favorites as it might help someone else navigating this journey. If you or someone you know is battling breast cancer, I just want to say I am praying for you!
