The Philosopher Princess is on the warpath this morning, friends, so take your precautions, please. There may or may not be some bad words and strange ideas to follow. Gird your loins.

The Zen of Heartburn
What if, when you bought something that you didn’t need, you got heartburn? Like, that awful feeling of having a pill stuck in your throat that happens after you eat that thing that you shouldn’t have eaten. Or too many of those cookies. Or too much of anything. The joys of indigestion I have madeContinue reading “The Zen of Heartburn”
The building block of woman’s health
I have messed around with creating a kind of subjective “how I am feeling in my body” scale, with elements like, flexibility, energy, stamina or how clear is my skin?

I am never bored by the workaday life…the “métro, boulot, dodo…” I like waking up at the same time, doing exactly the same things, making my coffee, having my quiet work time. I like knowing exactly what time I needContinue reading “Engineering my summer”

This article feels urgent to me, not because of where I am in my journey, but because of where you, that one reader who needs to reads this, are in your life. You know I don’t like to give advice. I really try not to get preachy. I only have my experience to speak from.Continue reading “Body Positivity and Health”
Mental Health and Mise en Place
I am going to take a parenthetic break in the practical aspects of Mise en Place and take a moment to expose a few ideas, a few for which there is scientific research to back up, to argue that what you wear doesn’t just make a difference in how others see you, but it canContinue reading “Mental Health and Mise en Place”
