Sometimes, I ponder and muse in personal essays. You’ll find those long-form thoughts here in this section.
I have been a regular edible user for over a decade. Some weeks I use edibles every single day. Then there are stretches of weeks or months when I won’t touch them. I’m an intuitive cannabis user for the most part (although I’m working on finding out if there are patterns to that, more on that experiment is coming in the next few months. And while I’ve posted dozens of recipes and various methods for
Summer is my favorite time. I like lounging in the sun, letting the sweat bead up on me, and a cold glass of something sweet. I love the slow lazy days of summer. I bet that is surprising because so many things about me say fall bitch, but no, I wait all year for days that make most people want to hide in a freezer. The only thing I am missing in my life right
I wrote previously on this blog about how I used to be an incredibly picky eater. I mean painfully so. Especially for others around me. So selective that my husband still teases me now about what I got away with not eating as a child. My mom was highly lenient despite constant abuse from other adults who were not my parents. You can read my thoughts on that in the other post linked here. That
“You have such will power.” An office worker in my elementary school said to me when I turned down a fancy chocolate in a fancy box. I laughed, understanding what she meant, even at 9 years old (which hello that’s fucked up), but knowing deep down inside the real reason is that I was nervous about the taste. That I wouldn’t like it and I’d have to show another adult just how picky of an
I have a bone to pick with the cannabis industry, especially the influencers and educators. As we collectively work together to help end the stigma a lot of cannabis users face, it’s important not to transfer that stigma to other groups of people. Yet, every single day that I log in to my various social networks, I see at least one person touting the “plants over pills” rhetoric. I’m going to be blunt about this
There are a lot of shitty things about taking a road trip. It’s uncomfortable to be in the car for hours at a time, sometimes for several days. There is a lot of crappy, not-so-great-for-you-food because it’s kind of hard to travel with enough salad for three days in a cooler. Which leads to digestive issues. Then there’s sleeping in strange places. And not getting enough sleep because you want to hit the road early
The end of May and the entire month of June were pretty rough for me. I unknowingly sprained my ankle by stepping off a sidewalk curb the wrong way and then further worsened the injury when my cousin challenged me to do the Manitou Springs Incline with her. My sprain caused me no pain. It just felt like it needed to crack or something. That’s why I didn’t think much about doing 2000 vertical feet
Believe it or not, you can make a difference in your community. Even as a regular, non-activist citizen, there are things you can do. Both online and off, you can make an impact and make your city or town a better place to be for everyone. Here are 5 things that I’m doing to actively make my community a better place. Support local businesses If you live in a rather developed suburban or urban area,
I have to get something off my chest. It’s like… really hard to make friends as an adult. Especially if you’re an adult without kids and who doesn’t go into an office every day or have any co-workers. Most of the people I interact with in person are people who are serving me in some way (waitstaff at restaurants, delivery people, cashiers, the maintenance staff where I live, etc). And most of the people I
I have a lot of privilege in my life. I work from home. I have no kids. My husband and I are finally making a comfortable amount of money. The struggles of the past still nip at our heels, but I have real financial freedom for the first time in my life. I have a lot of flexible time to do (almost) whatever the fuck I want, whenever the fuck I want. I say all
