My Skin Won’t Stop Me: Adult Hormonal Acne

  My acne was only skin deep. My skin won’t stop me because I have found something that keeps it away! I know acne is not curable, but it is very treatable. I never had “bad” skin during my teenage years. Of course I had the occasional breakout, but I never really struggled with it. Fast forward to age of 28 when I started trying to get pregnant. My skin was horrible! I felt... Read More »

Pick Up: Elementary School Edition

Well, hidy-ho!!! Fuck – I cannot get that Mr. Hanky song out of my head….. “It’s Mr. Hanky, the Christmas Poo – small and brown, he comes from you…..” Yep – I’m that mom. I’m the mom who, every morning at the breakfast table, says or does something so ridiculously inappropriate, and then giggles uncontrollably with our two boys as my hubby looks on, head hung low, defeated.

Double the Blogs, Double the Fun, Except Maybe for the Husband

I’m Stephanie, and I’m maybe-slightly-kind-of addicted to blogging. I don’t need, like, group meetings and an intervention or anything. I just really, really like it. I can quit anytime. I swear! (No, you don’t need to speak with my husband. Let’s just keep this between us. *wink wink*) I started several years ago, have been through three domain names as I finally nar... Read More »

Why Does My Weight Get to Dictate?

Happy Thursday, everyone! Not for me, though. I think today sucks balls. And I thought yesterday sucked balls, too. Who knows what kind of balls will be sucked tomorrow…. “Damn! Why’s Kate in such a shitty mood? What did Adam do!!!!” Actually, it’s not Adam at all – it’s 100% me. I’m in a really fucking shitty mood because……. I. Feel. Fat.

Everyone Matters When It Comes To Toxic Ingredients

Everyone Matters When It Comes To Toxic Ingredients

  I was a young child in the 60’s and 70’s; the TV series Mad Men depicts perfectly what life was like back then. The times were very vulnerable and trusting of our government for our well being. I watched my Mom daily put on her make up, lipstick and spray her teased hair with heavy hairspray to get dressed for the day.  At night she would lather her face with cold cream to sleep...
