Jaded Issue #24 Every year when it starts getting dark at 4:30, I basically shut down.I get tired. I get lazy.

Airplanes, Breakouts & Bloating — Let’s Chat Travel Hacks
Jaded Issue #22 I love to travel — especially being on a plane. Where my travel money comes from? Honestly, I don’t know. But that’s not the problem here.

Jaded Issue #21 Every woman needs an alter ego — for health purposes, must I add. Because so many of our “health problems” don’t start with food, hormones, or supplements. They start with overdoing. Over-giving, over-pleasing, over-caring about things that don’t even matter. Somewhere between being “the good girl” and “the chill woman,” we forgot…

How to Make Your Period Suck Less
Jaded Issue #17 It still blows my mind that as women we’ve basically been trained to believe our rite of passage is straight-up suffering every single month.

How to Mindfully Eat (Without Losing Your Mind)
Jaded Issue #16 I remember when I first got into health and nutrition and everyone was obsessed with mindful eating. Honestly? I was kind of annoyed. It sounded too woo-woo to me.
