Although April is coming to a close(April is PMDD Awareness Month) spreading awareness about PMDD, mental health, and women's health is extremely important. I have been suffering from PMDD(Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) since I was a teenager but was officially diagnosed by my doctor in August 2020. So.. what exactly is PMDD?

Don’t let your past trick you into thinking you are your past and that it is who you will become— because it’s not. I’ll admit, your environment growing up has a lot to do with who you are now as an adult. It can shape everything. How you see life, your beliefs, and your views. It not...
Where are my fellow 90's babies that can relate to the meme above? lol, I just turned 30 last week on January 10th(shoutout to my fellow Capricorns) I truly still can't believe it. When you are in your early twenties, you think 30 will never come and that it is "so old" but after 25, time went by...
The holiday season is in full swing with Christmas and the new year right around the corner. This time can be very fun, magical, and exciting, but for many people, it can also be a time of stress, financial hardships, and depression.

In 2020, the citizens of our planet faced an unusual event: the spread of a new virus that practically halted our lives and forced us to adapt to remote living and isolation.

I experienced congestion, body aches,...
I truly can't believe that fall/spooky season is officially upon us. Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved Halloween and dressing up(plus watching scary movies and eating candy) What's there not to love? Whether you are single, ready to mingle, or in a relationship, you can do so many things to celebrate this new season....
I truly can't believe that this month was when I officially got diagnosed with PMDD two years ago. It has been a struggle since I got my period the night before my 10th birthday. Since my official diagnosis, I have been doing all I can to help myself and others with PMDD. It is a daily battle and...
I am sure we have all been told "you need to have boundaries." So.. what exactly are boundaries? Boundaries are defined as the practice of openly communicating and asserting personal values. Boundaries can be emotional, physical, or even digital. They are extremely important to have in relationships. If you know your boundaries before entering a situation, it can...
Have you ever heard the saying:" My anxieties have anxieties."(I swear this is the story of my life) For many people like myself, this is something that can affect your mood, confidence, relationships, self-view, and life in general really on a daily basis.
