When you’re juggling a full-time job, social life, Bumble dates, catching up on The Bachelor so you can keep up with the office gossip, searching the Internet for flights to Europe at the end of a hard day, and doing everything else that might pop up in-between, it’s easy for exercise to fall by the […] More
I might be biased, but I think that having girlfriends is the most special privilege in the world. There’s nothing that sets my soul alive quite like a Bachelor wine night with my girls, hitting up our favorite brunch spot, celebrating job promotions accordingly, traveling the country (world, we’re coming for you!), or singing to […] More
“Do you shower with that on?” was the first question I was asked about my headscarf on my first day of high school, which was also the first day I started to wear it. (It is a pretty common question, believe it or not.) Although I grew up in Canada, I’ve traveled to my home […] More

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
From a young age, I was led to believe that there were only two types of food: those that were “good” and those I understood as “bad.” The latter category was made up of foods that I, as an 8-year-old, had thought were the epitome of true bliss: ice cream, pizza, candy, gummy snacks, and […] More
