After coming across this post from Diet Blog, I started thinking about all of the studies and real-life experiences which show that diets* really just do not work in general. I am puzzled. If diets don't work, then why does everyone diet?  Read more >

This weekend I thought about working on my research projects that are all due in another couple weeks. I really did think about it. And then I decided after doing a bit of reading and writing some paragraphs that I would be far more productive in cooking rather than paper-writing. So I decided to cook all weekend: Acorn squash mashed up with some leftover spaghetti meat sauce (super good)  Read more >

I love beer ads and beer commercials. They're usually clever, funny, and silly. They have excellent marketing strategies in that people really do enjoy them! But I think what I like most about them is the wealth of information they hold; what they say about our gender roles and social beliefs and values. Beer ads represent societal constructions on masculinity and femininity. Let's take a beer ads tour, shall we?  Read more >

Life Lessons: Overdoing it

All last week I had horrible stomach cramps. Doing jumping jacks was even uncomfortable. My tummy was not pleased with me so I set out to determine what the culprit was. My first guess was dairy- it seems that just about everyone is susceptible to minor dairy intolerance and I myself occasionally can't seem to handle dairy products very well, so that would make sense. That is, it would make sense if I were consuming very many dairy products, which I had neglected to do (this realization sparked a sudden oh-man-I-want-milkyogurtcheese reaction that I was happy to indulge in.  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm a health writer with a focus on nutrition, fitness, body image, and mental health- and especially how all of these things relate to women!  I love to experiment with recipes and try out new fitness programs, and I like to share my experiences with you on my blog.  In my third year of university, I am taking classes in Rhetoric, Writing, and Communications.  I have also studied nutrition and spend much of my time researching health on my own as well as speaking to experts.  I travel as often as I can, mainly to Europe, and find it to be a wonderful way to experience other cultures and ways of thinking; observing the differing health issues and perspectives around the world is wonderful.

Learning about health and gathering information is a top priority for me and you'll find lots of book reviews and recommendations around here.  One of the best ways to spread knowledge and awareness is to share what we know, so don't hesitate to email me or leave a comment!  I'm open to discussion and am very interested in hearing your opinions, thoughts, and ideas.
