It’s 7:32am on a Monday, and per my “day-after-a-long-weekend” protocol, I’ve snoozed my alarm more times than I can count. Through the brain fog, I hear the short, high-pitched beeping of my automatic coffee pot, which interests me enough to flop my covers off, wiggle my feet into my favorite fuzzy slippers, and shuffle out […] More
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really like reality TV. It took me until Jojo’s season of The Bachelorette to get into that franchise, and I still only like it because it gives me something to talk to my coworkers about. I’ve never been able to get into Real Housewives, Survivor, Love […] More

But here’s the harsh truth: no workout routine will solve all your problems and no miracle diet will change everyone’s life. When it comes to health, there is no universal […] More
OK, so I’m going to ask you to imagine these scenarios: You planned this huge birthday surprise for your best friend with no attention to detail spared (I’m talking custom balloons level detail here, guys), but when it came time for your big day, the gesture wasn’t returned and you were pretty upset. You heard […] More
