Courtesy of my delightful chronic Lyme disease, I make frequent use of an infrared sauna made by Therasage. I wrote a post detailing the functions and benefits of using an infrared sauna, which I encourage you to read if you haven’t already, and I’ve been using my Therasage sauna for over a year now. I … More Therasage: excellent products, excellent customer service
While I haven’t had oatmeal in a hot minute, I did, for a while, eat it every day for breakfast. I would always make mine with milk, or water, depending on the day, and enjoyed adding cinnamon, banana and brown sugar. I follow Camilla Lorentzen on Instagram, and her wife as well. The two of … More Do you cook your oatmeal with an egg? (hint, apparently you should)
Before anyone starts attacking me via their keyboard, allow me the opportunity to acknowledge that, unlike my title suggests, adult acne, more than likely, is not arbitrary in nature. I decided to use the title I did because it relates to me personally – I have adult acne, and the causes for my own acne … More Adult acne: an arbitrary concept
COVID-19 and all of its baggage undeniably and significantly damaged so many things that are relevant to us. The economy, travel, relationships, jobs, and, of course, healthcare, are just a few examples of what immediately comes to mind when I contemplate what was drastically impacted by the pandemic, and its effects are far from over. … More COVID-19 vaccination status: a forgotten entitlement
Hangovers are certainly not something any sane person would wish to experience, I would think, but they’re something that the vast majority of us have endured. They’re anything but pleasant, and in my own experience, depending on how bad of a hangover you’re dealing with, they often feel similar to having the flu or a … More How to cure a hangover, part two
Anyone who knows me personally will likely be a bit perplexed regarding the topic of today’s post; I don’t drink alcohol, therefore I am not one to experience hangovers.

As if anyone needed more reasons to drink coffee, am I right? Perhaps I speak for a small group of individuals when I say I could always and easily consume and in turn enjoy more coffee in my life, but I do have my limits. A few years back, when my family and I visited … More Get your coffee on, again
Coffee is something that has had tremendous relevance and importance to me for a while now. When I was younger, I despised coffee. I can recall trying a sip of my dad’s black coffee when I was in my early teenage years and never wanting to have that awful, bitter taste in my mouth again; … More Get your coffee on
As I stated in yesterday’s post, I thought I would comprise a mini-series here on my blog in which I answer some common questions people often have for anyone in eating disorder recovery. I’m happy to answer any questions anyone may have, but I figure I’ll generate the conversation by starting with some that are … More Q and A: Eating disorder recovery edition (part two)
I’ve always been a pretty transparent person, and my history of an eating disorder is no exception to my translucence. I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia when I was 17, and while the road I’m on now certainly has fewer bumps and divots than it once did, I can’t, and won’t, say recovery … More Q and A: Eating disorder recovery edition

Anyone who has ever fallen victim to boils can arguably attest to their misery. Boils, put plainly, absolutely suck. They can be remarkably painful, embarassing, disgusting and inconvenient, and they can be a real bitch to get rid of once they’ve decided to permanently take up residence in a specific spot on your body. Boils … More Boils: what you should know
Water filters are important, sure, but up until recently, I can’t say I’ve devoted a tremendous amount of time to thinking about them and the benefits they offer. Since I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, however, the concept of water filtration and its importance has a lot more significance to me than it did, and … More Should you be using a water filter?
As per yesterday’s post, today is a continuation of the topic of collagen and whether or not you should incorporate it into your daily supplement routine.

As per my mother’s recommendation, I’ve been taking collagen for probably over a year now.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised to … More Should you be using collagen?
Stress is, unfortunately, something that has relevance to just about each and every one of us in one way or another throughout our adult years.

When I first heard of the term SIBO, I thought I was hearing things, to be honest, so not to worry if you figured your eyes were deceiving you when you read the title of today’s post.

After writing a post about the series Blaine and I have been watching called Alone, I’ve found myself more attentive to survival information and knowledge as of late.

I recently had some bloodwork done, and when my doctor called me and asked me to come in for an appointment to discuss the results, I figured they weren’t great. My doctor informed me I have a rather hefty hormone imbalance (which I already knew thanks to a naturopath), and he provided me with some … More Are your hormones out of whack?
I caught wind of using vanilla extract as bug repellent a little while ago, and to be honest, I had a hard time believing it. Vanilla is arguably my favourite scent in existence, and considering it smells so sweet and lovely, I wouldn’t think it would be something that would be effective in keeping insects … More Using vanilla extract as … bug repellent?
Yesterday’s post discussing ginseng hopefully provided anyone who read it with a firmer understanding of how exactly it is produced.

For today’s post, I thought … More What health benefits does ginseng offer?
I recently had a tutoring session with a client I have been working with for quite a while now. My client and I, in working together for almost two years, have become good friends, despite not having the opportunity to meet in person as they are not local to me.

I came to the realization that despite offering to you, my avid readers, a three-part installment pertaining to crystals and some of the most common ones, I did not, within these posts, offer any information regarding how to go about actually making use of said crystals. I mean, if you enjoy the aesthetics of crystals … More Here is how to actually use crystals
Well folks, we have made it to the third and final installment in my mini-series regarding all things crystals. I thank you for coming along on this ride with me, and further, for your patience; to be honest, I could arguably dedicate 40 posts to the topic of crystals, but to refrain from boring anyone, … More A beginners guide to crystals (part three)
Anyone who owns and reaps the benefits of crystals can attest to how truly beautiful a lot of them are.

The realm of crystals and gemstones is, to be honest, a rather confusing one if you’re new to it and don’t have the slightest inclination as to where to start.

I said in yesterday’s post and I’ll say it again – to learn something we have believed to be true our entire lives is, in fact, not, is a bit of a harrowing experience. This sounds dramatic, but I suppose, in a sense, we feel betrayed; how could we have allowed ourselves to consider something … More Fact versus fiction: common misconceptions (part two)
I’ve found myself, at several different points in my life, absolutely astounded when discovering things I believed to be true are, in fact, absolutely false.
