Happy Global Handwashing Day
You know how I have a little issue with being all judgy (I'm working on it--truly). Well I'm going to own this bit of judgement. Own and keep it and perpetuate it in fact. I think people who don't wash their hands when they go to the toilet are [...]

How not to get pregnant from a toilet seat
Ever been in a fancy place where they have those paper toilet seat protector things. More trouble than their worth I think. They give you a false sense of security or a reason to have 50 stress attacks while you wonder if the thing's still in [...]
I’m off the drink again. Wrong month. Again.

So how's this little lesson from the school of the bleeding obvious. Scientists have proved that drinking alcohol provides us with a big old hit of endorphins which make us feel better. And here I was thinking that we had a drink after work just [...]
So what are you doing with your heart?
Three years ago my brother died. He was an organ donor. "Let them take whatever they want from me," he'd said, "it'll be of no use to me." This was a dinner table conversation that our family had had one day. We were all in agreement that we'd [...]
