Your Parents always have the best drama, Hometown curse

There’s truly nothing like hometown gossip. It’s one of many reasons to be excited to go home for the holidays. My favourite story to pull out of my back pocket in moments of conversational need, is a kind of James Bond villain story about my neighbor. I must also preface

Sweat Like Syrup: Fenugreek’s Sweet Side Effect

Back in high school, I had a boyfriend who was convinced I perspired sweet nectar while he and the rest of the world sweated musty odor. The truth? My secret was a magical little pill called fenugreek, a herbal supplement most commonly used during breastfeeding.

Pilgrimage to the Secret Vagina Cave

Five summers ago my family and I took a fabulous trip to Provence, France, full of wine, relaxation, and the scent of fresh lavender. My mother, in her endless search for meaning and knowledge, had become hyper fixated on Mary Magdalene and the legends surrounding her. Naturally this meant we
