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. RecoveryContinue reading Your ED Questions, Answered
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 upContinue reading Eggshells
Like a Woman Scorned…
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. This post tonight, is being served with a side of indignation. Because I am angry. I hesitate to post this, because, well…you’ll see. But I need to vent. You see, I’ve recently started reaching out to various potential sponsors for my blog. Exciting times, I know. SoContinue reading Like a Woman Scorned…
Eat Pretty?
I’m not going to lie, living in NYC, I can kind of…take it for granted. Kinda like when you hear someone lives near the beach, and then you learn that they rarely go in the ocean. Let’s just say I like to stick to my neighborhood. I avoid Times Square like the plague. Vehemently resistContinue reading Eat Pretty?

VS Fashion Show: A Woman’s Perspective
Unpopular opinion alert: I will not be watching the Victoria’s Secret fashion show tonight. Every year, come mid December, in the midst of indulgent holiday consumption, Christmas cookies, eggnog, and holiday party food, society has decided that now would be the perfect time to showcase a parade of frightfully thin, Amazonian-physiqued women in lingerie. And IContinue reading VS Fashion Show: A Woman’s Perspective
Top 4 Things Recovery Has Taught Me
I feel like recently, Facebook has taken it upon itself to make me feel as old as possible. Haha I kid you not, every day it seems like I’m getting a notification that “so and so and I have been friends for 9 years!” Or “this happened 8 years ago today!” And it assaults youContinue reading Top 4 Things Recovery Has Taught Me
Anorexia & the Sanctity of Human Life
I’ll tell you what, you’ve never watched a presidential debate until you’ve watched one in a bar with a bunch of Europeans on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I promise, I’m not getting political… But let’s just say, they don’t mince words about how they really feel about Trump and Hillary. The term “Satan’sContinue reading Anorexia & the Sanctity of Human Life
How Did I Recover?
I’ve been sitting, staring at this blank page for about 2 hours now. Granted, I’ve taken a few breaks to peruse Buzzfeed, watch a Korean makeup video, and get ready for bed, but let’s face it. I’ve got writer’s block. Which royally stinks. So I’m going to go back to my roots here tonight. Return toContinue reading How Did I Recover?
