Ladies, Put Some Pants On – The Men Are Trying to Pray
Recently, a video came across my internet browser which piqued my interest. It addressed issues on college campuses, and seemed to have a pretty solid assertion that the sexual indecency contained within college life is coming from only one area… women’s wardrobes, which are preventing the mens from being good Christians. This video, originally found [...]
Are You Suffering From Snowflake Boobs?
I’d like to share with you an email that Lindsay received today. Marina del Rey, CA – May 5, 2011 — According to Dr. Grant Stevens, a board certified plastic surgeon and founder of Marina Plastic Surgery Associates (http://www.marinaplasticsurgery.com) in Marina del Rey, CA, nipples are like snowflakes. No two pair is alike. And for [...]
Is the Medical Industry Exploiting Your Fear of Aging?
I feel like there could be an entire, separate blog devoted to picking off companies, one by one, as they terminate their ethics in favor of a higher profit margin. It happens every day, greedy muckity-mucks decide that “a little exaggeration won’t hurt” and they quickly downward spiral into the “Say Anything For A Dollar” [...]
Youngest Grandmother is 23 – But What Does She Look Like?
I don’t get it. This morning I read an article on the world’s youngest grandmother, who had her first child at twelve and her first grandbaby at twenty-three: “Mum-of-two Rifca Stanescu was 12 when she had her first child Maria. She urged the girl not to follow her example – but Maria gave birth to [...]
Body Shaming Knows No Bounds
The PR field is a sticky, winding road of ethical questions. You know your product is good, but how will it get noticed? What will make it stand out? In a world of digital media, where text and images are your only weapons when trying to contact an online publication, you have to choose your [...]

Fast Company, my favorite magazine and the site from which I pilfered this image, stated my feelings perfectly: Now [...]
Nine West: Nude, Neutral…Not Even Trying?
Nine West, I love you. You fit my feet like some sort of foot-glove, supporting my adorably high arches and keeping me from intense pain eight hours a day. You are pretty, and sassy, and in my price range. So, being that we have this close, healthy relationship, I have to ask: what the hell [...]
Debacle: Bodysnarking = No; Fashion-Snarking = Different?
I love that the term “bodysnarking” was created by women who are finally starting to stand up for themselves, and others. I love the camaraderie and union that I witness in forums and on the street when someone pipes up (especially in public) about how there is injustice towards women’s (& men’s) bodies. “Actually, all [...]
And It Begins Again: New Year, New [Diet]
New Year’s Resolutions often bring fad diets, forced exercise, and disappointment – all at the hands of media suggestion via commercials, advertisements and magazines. Instead of a big bowl of shame for the new year, why not pick up some self-empowering publications instead?
A Little Pre-Dinner Disturbance
Well, today is my last day in town, and so I am finishing up some writing work, cleaning a bit, and doing a lot of slacking off.
