January Ipsy Glam Bag Review
Hi everyone! So, I figured I would start doing monthly Ipsy reviews. For those of you who don't know, Ipsy is a monthly subscription bag for $10 a month. You get five beauty items based upon a small questionnaire you fill out when you sign up. I have been subscribed for a year now and I love it. I recommend it to everyone. You get all kinds of different products for a much smaller price than you would buying it on your own. Granted, they are sample/travel sizes, but still! When I got my first bag, my husband and I looked up the official prices for each item, and it came out to a little over $100. Talk about crazy savings! If you're interested in signing up, use my referral code to get started!

Outdoor Cats
You watch your outdoor cat as he romps in the grass, feeling the breeze, smelling for all the bugs. You watch, as he has this child-like fun with joyous abandon. You tried to make him an indoor only cat, so he can stay safe, but he just wasn’t happy enough. So you let him out, and this is the result.

Mission विDesh
I want to introduce myself to everyone as a pessimist, no laughs please. I can trace back my existence to many years as a bud in my mother's womb. Nourished by her blood and love, I was born a girl. And then started my journey of life from a dark, hidden, crampy interior to the outer world full of lights, energy, enthusiasm, learning and many many more surprises.

Pit Bulls As Pets
Pit bull—now take a moment and think about those two words. I bet you think mean and scary. In reality pit bulls aren't mean and scary. Pit bulls should be kept as pets because they used to have a good reputation, the media is unfair, and there are outdated laws against pit bulls.

He Never Laid a Finger on Me
Glen and I were high school sweethearts. I loved him and thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. I looked at him and often wondered how somebody like him could want to be with someone like me. I was this chubby, short, unpopular girl and to me, he was this slightly older, much cooler Adonis. Glen was very spoiled. If he wanted something specific for dinner, he'd get it. If he wanted a certain game system, even if they didn't have the money, he'd still have it. New guitar? Sure. Lessons to go with it? You betcha. His mom even did his laundry for him. He was very fortunate even though his family was NOT very well off. As you can imagine, he was used to getting his way and I fed into that immediately upon dating him.

5 Tips for Stronger, Healthier Hair
As someone who has a lot of hair, and by a lot I mean almost to my butt a lot, I get stopped about my hair on a regular basis. It’s become completely normal for me to get stopped on the street by strangers who want to ask me about my hair or even try and touch it. As someone who also colors their own hair, I get asked a lot about what kind of products I use to keep my hair healthy. So I am here to tell you about the products that I swear by and how I keep my hair strong and healthy.

Copper IUDs: The Good, the Bad, the Uncomfortable
Getting an IUD is one of those things. You've been flip-flopping on the idea for a long time and one of the main factors keeping you from doing it is the initial pain of the procedure. I get it, I was going back and forth in my head for years trying to justify putting my head down and getting it done. Obviously there are an overwhelming amount of positives, my favorite and main reason for having it being the non-hormonal (copper) option. As a lady who has been on a plethora of different hormonal birth control options (the patch, estrogen pill, low dose estrogen and testosterone, progesterone only) I can honestly tell you that while some people may not experience many side effects, I had experienced plenty—everything from UTIs, low sex drive, high blood pressure, cystic acne (hoo man, a lot of it) on my face and also in other strange and terrible places, leg cramps (from the progesterone only pill), and heightened anxiety. All of these options, while viable because they all technically did their job and kept a child from existing inside of me, never really seemed ideal because I felt like I was changing my biology a little in order to accommodate them. Not to mention, it was causing problems in my relationships and making me more insecure in my appearance (my face had the texture of a balloon filled with rocks for a while). Long story short (–ish), when I heard about an implant that was non-hormonal and would last between 5-10 years, I was sold.
