How To Diagnose Adrenal Fatigue - 3 Different Ways

Adrenal Fatigue is a phrase being thrown around a lot lately (especially in holistic circles). But what does it mean to have Adrenal Fatigue? And how do you get a concrete diagnosis? I wrote a post for My Health Journey series sort of introducing the topic. I was told I had adrenal fatigue in 2013, and have gone through three different avenues/doctors to diagnose and understand the severity. It's extremely important to not only know IF you have it, but to understand HOW advanced it is.

The Creative Struggle: Loving What You Do Even When It's Your Job

For those of you who don't know - I'm a wedding photographer. That also explains why this time of the year, I can't blog very much because I'm busy blogging over on my Indigo Photography site.

I Guess I'm Thirty-Three... Which Is Basically Forty.

So maybe I had a stage five freakout at the stroke of my thirtieth birthday, but after the swollen eyes and hysteria subsided, I was actually rather okay about leaving my 20s behind in the dusty cloud of uncertainty that they were. I had just gotten married and it seemed life was kind of coming together, not that I ever needed it to, but it was a nice surprise. I mean, for a surprise. Cus, eew.

The Great Expectation: How To Not Settle For the Wrong Relationship

I was never the girl who had grand dreams about my wedding. There was that brief time in my early twenties where I was obsessed with bridal magazines, but judging by the accordion folders full of invitation samples, I think it was just more of an obsession with stationary. And markedly, the start of my fascination with fonts.

A Decade Of Failed Relationships: 3 Things You Can Learn From My Mistakes

I was born an innocent and trusting child. But somehow, somewhere, everything got all jacked up. And I don't have daddy issues. Or mommy issues. So you can shelve that hypothesis. As an eternal pessimist, I am particularly mesmerized by the messiness of life. And mine has been pretty messy. I

Passion, The Fierce Madness That Drives Me

Passion is the bane of my existence. It tortures and taunts me, fuels and sustains me, awakening the best parts of myself. And as much as I hate it, it's the fierce madness that drives me.

Best Organic Deals At Costco

Oh organic food. You are such a tricky dichotomy. I need to buy you if I want to be healthy, yet if I buy you - my water might get shut off. And my lights. Eating healthy can mean a bit of a higher grocery bill, unfortunately. So what's a crunchy gal to do.... get a Costco membership. That's what.

Gluten Free Eating Chicago: Lyfe Kitchen Review

Lyfe Kitchen. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe you haven't. Either way, I'm going to talk about it because it was one of the first healthy restaurants on my Chicago To Eat list. Self described as a "flexitarian" restaurant, catering to a variety of diets and allergy restrictions, you would have to be absolutely ridiculous if you couldn't find something to eat there.

Welcome to Celery and the City!

Does anyone even like celery? Anyone? I'm super bad at thinking of names for things. My previous twenty-something blog was titled Blunt Delivery. Over the years, the bombardment of inquiries asking if I was a drug delivery service revealed to me that perhaps it wasn't as crystal clear to others as it was in my mind. A deliverer of bluntness, not blunts, people. #namefail
