    Are Flip Flops Bad for Your Feet?

    July 10, 2019 /

    Flips flops are a staple in everyone’s summer wardrobe. True story – my kids have been buying these on their own for years. Who can blame them? They are inexpensive and easy to toss on and also cute. Once I wrote about the time my older girl zip lined through Puerto Vallarta rain forest wearing flip flops. Oh so popular during the summer months and when you go on holidays, flip flops are inexpensive and easy to pack. It’s no wonder people love this popular form of footwear. They are easy and flexible and they scream beach vacation. But Are They Good, or Bad, For Feet? Formerly reserved for the…

    Heavy Periods are More than Just Inconvenient

    June 22, 2018 /

    Disclosure: I have partnered with YMC and Hologic and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own.  Heavy periods are more than just an inconvenience that some women suffer with. I had heavy periods for much of my life. My mom had them. And one of my daughters seems to be heading there as well. Of course, there are the concessions you learn to make when your period comes. You don’t wear white, you make peace with the fact that you might have to dash to the bathroom at any moment. You NEVER wear your favorite pants, skirts, or dresses if you suspect your period is about…

    Caesarian Sections Linked to Chronic Pain

    March 19, 2018 /

    Could a C section give you chronic pain? New research indicates Caesarian sections can carry a host of long term side effects that you might not be aware of. C-section scars have the potential to negatively impact women’s health and quality of life long after giving birth. C-sections occur for various reasons. Sometimes C-sections are medically necessary. Perhaps, a mother cannot deliver her baby due to a small birth canal. If vaginal birth is deemed to be too risky to the baby, a C-section might be scheduled to remove baby quickly. Scheduled elective C-sections sometimes also take place. What many women don’t know is that caesarian sections can actually lead to chronic…

    Stomach Cramps – Understand Them to Treat Them Properly #TargetStomachCramps #Buscopan

    January 12, 2018 /

    Stomach cramps can be incredibly painful. As a person with chronic GI issues, I can say without hesitation that one of the most painful things a person can experience is GI tract discomfort including a cramping stomach. I honestly don’t love to talk about the stomach cramping I have here, because it can be that brutal. Often I’d rather deal with the pain and then forget about it. But if we don’t talk about the issue and the causes of stomach cramps, then how does anyone know how to treat stomach cramps? Oh yeah, I am talking about that intense, harsh cramping that makes your stomach feel like a vice…

    Avoid Migraines by Avoiding Foods that May Trigger Them

    September 18, 2017 /

    Avoid migraines by avoiding triggers. Because prevention really is worth a pound of cure when it comes to these debilitating headaches. Many people get migraines, but some might not know diet can play a role in these excruciatingly painful headaches – the kind of headaches that leave you locked in a dark quiet room, praying that the headache will go away. While the diet and migraine link is not a precise science, there is a lot of discussion and study around the fact that certain foods can worsen a pending migraine. I’ve found that one of the best ways to avoid migraines is to avoid foods that can trigger them. Avoid…

    GI Upset – Buscopan Calms Cramps #Giveaway ARV $170

    August 16, 2016 /

    GI upset is something I’ve had trouble with for almost as long as I can recall. Most of my readers know by now that I suffer from terrible stomach cramps if I’m not extra careful about what I eat. Although I’ve learned to live with it and I have a huge toolkit of strategies to help after 30 years, GI upset can still be a huge drain on energy and it can turn a good day upside down. While everyone else in the family can eat whatever they want, whenever they want, I have to worry about what goes into my tummy and the resulting GI upset it could cause. Buscopan…

    Keep Stomach Cramping at Bay

    June 30, 2016 /

    Stomach cramping has always been an issue for me. If I don’t watch what I eat, I’m guaranteed to have severe issues. It’s the opposite of fun and sometimes comes at me sideways when I am not even remotely in the mood to be sidelined with cramps. While everyone else is scarfing down hot dogs or funnel cakes hanging out at amusement parks, or what have you, I’m calculating how much grease is in all that delicious food, and how much I might pay for eating it later. Occasionally I forget, for instance when I am away doing a travel writing assignment as I was just last week and too much…

    Lakota All Natural Pain Relief To The Rescue

    July 24, 2015 /

    Let’s travel back in time together for a few minutes. I can scarcely recall a time that I did not have pain. As a little person I had joint pain often and that was always chalked up to growing pains. My mother and I tried so many different things. Eventually when I was 14 that pain became acute and it was in my stomach and my joints. I felt horrible. Crohn’s Disease, an autoimmune disorder of the digestive tract, was the verdict. I still struggle with pain on a weekly basis. But I have managed to develop a lot of tools and strategies that help. I believe pain and lengthy periods…
