    How to Kick it Up Now – Easy Fall Style for Men

    September 10, 2018 /

    Fall style for men is something that gets neglected this time of year. With all the posts and advertisements out there about back to school I think men get forgotten. To be honest out of everyone in my family my husband is simply far less inclined to go shopping or revamp his wardrobe, even when it’s necessary. My husband spends the majority of his time in jeans, shorts, and workout gear, but when he has to get dressed up, he can be super picky. He’s actually quite fussy about the fit and cut of his clothing, so I know men do care about fashion. If other men are anything like…

    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…

    What to Expect When You’re Turning 50

    January 11, 2018 /

    Turning 50 is a huge milestone birthday. These days it seems like a lot of my friends are turning 50, or getting close. I’m not far off from 50 myself, and this year I have started recognizing this means physical changes. Nothing surprised me so much as when my metabolism changed dramatically at 40. So, since I’m interested in what’s going to start happening to me and what I should do, I figure a lot of other soon-to-be-50 ladies will be interested, as well. What to Expect When You’re Expecting the Big 5-Oh As women age, we experience changes in our bodies. These changes can lead to everything from a…

If you ever visit this space then you know I am nothing if not frank and honest regarding women’s health issues.

    Your Period and How Travel Affects It #travel

    November 1, 2016 /

    Your period is a normal function of your body. How your reproductive system is functioning can be an indicator of a bigger health issue. So it’s natural to be concerned if your very regular cycle is sometimes thrown into chaotic late, or abnormal heavy or even extreme light flow. Of course the first thing you wonder if your cycle changes or a period ceases to happen, is whether you are pregnant. But you might also start wondering if you have an illness. The truth is that if your period is late or you missed it all together while traveling, it’s probably JUST the traveling. Your Period and Travel There are lots of different ways…
