The Angry Feminist
Warning: this post may be slightly unpopular. You know what fashion trend I am completely over? Shirts with words on them. You know what I’m talking about…they’ll have random words like, “How about Tacos” or “#squad” or something like “Laundry Day.” The whole I’m-really-trying-to-look-like-I’m-not-trying look. And listen buddy, you ain’t foolin’ anybody. Just take your poly/cotton […]

Strangers on a Plane
There are really two types of people when it comes to airplanes: there are the talkers, and then those who would rather get a root canal than socialize with the person seated next to them. Admittedly, I am the latter. Earbuds in, sunglasses on – I am a fortress. I am simultaneously praying for a) […]

Last Minute Miracles
This is now, probably the 19th time I’ve tried to start this post. All unsuccessfully, I might add. And given that it’s 6:00pm, and this post is set to publish in less than an hour, it’s safe to say, the pressure’s on. My mom sent me a photo yesterday. It’s of her on the top of […]

Three Seconds
It was the summer before my seventh grade year. Which, if it’s possible to peak at age 12, then I think that may have been the case for me. But I digress. I’ll never forget the summer my mother and I rode Drop Zone at Kings Island. Imagine the Seattle Space Needle with a ring […]

Your ED Questions, Answered
I want to start out by saying something. I nearly couldn’t go through with this post, because I felt, almost, phony answering these questions. Because the fact is, no recovery is perfect. There are things that I am still working on. There are things that I still can struggle with from time to time. Recovery […]

I even showered for the occasion…which…let’s just say, is a big deal 😉 hah JK JK #HygieneIsImportant My two best friends in the world really wanted me to audition. […]

The Silent Scream
It’s not very often that I’m shaken by things. I’m pretty bullet proof. I mean, as an actor, rejection is part of the game. And hey, putting my life out on the internet, I’m pretty much asking for people to hit me with a myriad of varying opinions. I get it. Heck, I welcome it. […]

Eggshells
Have you ever baked a cake with a toddler? If you haven’t, well, let’s just say that it’s…an experience. A cute, photo-op filled, splatter-fest, that, if you’re lucky, results in a cake that’s barely holding on for dear life. This happened today. You see, we’re celebrating my now-four-year-old niece’s birthday tonight while we’re all up […]

Permission to Feel
I’m going to be honest, I have 2 vodka/coconut waters in my system, so this post may be a bit…spirited. Ba-dum chh! Bad joke. OKAY! I had a conversation with a friend tonight that has completely pulled at my heartstrings and offered me some much needed perspective. So naturally, I’ve decided to share with […]
