I found my first gray hair when I was 12 years old. Twelve. I had gray hair before I had a period.

It seems like everyone is an introvert these days.

I have to go shopping tomorrow and I’m dreading it.

Essential oils have become incredibly popular and can be found everywhere from your local farmer’s market and community festival to social media.

My parenting mantra is: "Do your best and hope he doesn't turn into a sociopath." And I guess that's really all we can do, because if we're honest with ourselves, I think none of us really know what we're doing.

Life looks a lot different at 40 than it did at 25, and I have a whole new list of things to worry about. It's a very long list, and it makes me anxious on the best day, plain terrified on the worst day, and on a run-of-the-mill day, it just keeps reminding me that I'm clueless about what to think and what to do and how to be grown.

2016 sucked. If we can’t agree on anything else, I think we can all agree on at least that much.
