Things we can't believe you talked about: Healthy Living goodness

Often, when I tell people what I do for a living, they give me a blank look set to the sound of the wheels spinning inside their heads as they try to figure out what I do and what they should say next. To ease the awkwardness, I usually joke that I spend all day writing about "boobs, periods, and neti pots."

Ha ha ha. Hilarious, right? Actually, it is better (and more true...honestly!) than my former favorite retort that I "write about diets all day while plowing through a giant bag of chips." While I am clearly not going to making my millions writing comedy, there is a lot of truth to my joke (or joke-ish response) that these are the subjects of my blogging obsession.

I do find these three subjects pretty fascinating, and I am also fascinated that so many of you want to talk about them, too. By fascinated, I mean horrified, delighted, shocked, and entertained that we spend so much time and screen space devoted to these bits of our bods.

So, yes, my friends, including and expanding on that simple list, here are the things I am FASCINATED you want to talk about and that I am very, very ha
ppy to take part in writing and reading about every week when I come to work.

Boobs. Boobs. And more boobs.

Periods. Many, many, many details about periods. Oh, and PMS.

Lots and lots about our blessed lady parts.

And (ahem) sexual health,

The Pill. IUDs. The cost of contraception and the potential price of unprotected sex.

Cussing, caffeine, and candy.

Currrrrves.

Tummy tucks, and even using straws.

We can't forget neti pots.

Finally, for good measure, boobs.

    Well, with a site geared towards women, daily life and health issues, these topics are bound to come up - and they come up often since we all talk about them regularly. It just makes sense.

    I have no problems with possitive information on daly life and health issues.It is knowledge and it can make a difference if not mine but someone else well being.Bottom line it make sense and we all would not be happy.

    uh can you tell me when STDs turned into STIs? I was reading a magazine article and this guy was warning women against men like him. Men living with herpes who don't inform their sexual partners that he has a disease. Anyway, the article was saying sexually transmitted illness instead of the old faithful sexually transmitted disease. It threw me off for a minute then I thought "hey another way to be politically correct".
