Dear Mr Davison, Recently you quit twitter due to what you called “toxicity” surrounding comments you made about Jodie Whittaker being cast as the 13th Doctor in Doctor Who.

Can you be body-positive and still want to lose weight?
If you saw my post about my current struggle with professional clothing, you’ll know that I am far from fully embracing my body as-is. As much as I would love to be the kind of woman who feels that my curves mean that I have “more to love” or that they are “dangerous”, I’m […]

Cute & Funny Cards & Invitations
My family is big on cards. Sometimes I think my mom cares more about the card than her actual gift. I will admit that I don’t always put a ton into the cards I select for people. It depends on the occasion but most of the time I’m running so last-minute that I just grab […]
