After eight years, three different pills, three gynecologists, and two endocrinologists, I am finally off the pill and have a relatively regular cycle with significantly reduced PCOS symptoms.

Reviewing Louis Perry’s “Case Against the Sexual Revolution”
The message of Louise Perry’s new book “The Case Against The Sexual Revolution,” is that what women do, particularly with their bodies, is consequential- regardless of whether we want to acknowledge it or not.

2022 had some low lows and high highs. Given the state of the country and culture, there’s many reasons to be pessimistic about the path forward. But individual people can have a waterfall effect.

#BidenBudget Beauty
Every girl has been there. Checking out at Sephora with only four items in the basket and the cashier rings up a total of $130. Despite the jaw-dropping prices, we’re fully under the spell of the beauty industry so we begrudgingly swipe our credit cards anyway. However, with rampant inflation, rents and mortgages on the rise, and gas prices still hovering around $4 per gallon, now is not the time to spend $35 on mascara. In Biden’s economy, we’re quitting department stores and heading to the drugstore.

This is a sentiment I am sure many of us share, but I promise that there are some great documentaries out there. Here’s the top five that I would recommend:
How to Pick Your Next Florida Vacay
