Growing up I always had an issue with wheat. Over the past 30 years, I’ve been tested numerous times for Coeliac (Celiac) Disease – all of my results were always inconclusive. There was never an explanation of my symptoms, which included lethargy, bloating, excess gas, stomach pains, constant nausea, and weight gain. In my late 20’s, “food sensitivity” started to get ...

Hi, My name is Edward and I want to tell you a story from my life about how good things happen when you have perseverance and patience. How I turned $50K into $1 million.

I realized I was not destined for a curvaceous womanly body; I was just a normal girl, with a normal body, and small breasts. I came to terms with my small chest. I knew which Victoria’s Secret bras would give me the ultimate effect of c... Read More »
Dear Taco Bell, Your incessant commercials on my Pandora every morning finally peaked this prego’s interest enough for me to give you a chance. It’s a mistake I will never make again. I feel like I’ve been catfished. Your chicken biscuit taco was more like a chicken flavored hashbrown wrapped in cardboard. You’ve ruined my day and now I don’t know that I can ever trus...

Having the winter blues?? Well, I was… so why not take on a fixer-upper without spending a fortune!! I decided to refresh my kitchen. First, I painted (well I hired painters) to renew my old oak cabinets by using an antique finish… eggshell paint with mocha trim border.
