The Vagina Diaries
TO KEGEL OR NOT TO KEGEL…THAT IS THE QUESTION…
When something is going on, “down there” and you go to your gynecologist, what do they say? Especially if you have had kids? They tell you to do your kegels, right? Keep doing them and it will get better soon. You aren’t doing enough. You aren’t...
LEARN TO RELAX AND LISTEN!
Sometimes we go, go, go and never rest. We do not take the time to relax or spend time with ourselves. We push ourselves to the limit and assume being busy is what success is. We assume we always have to exercise and build strength and endurance and ignore the relaxation...
OMG I LEAKED…
First off, notice the picture I’ve posted here. Why in the world would I put a picture with both male and female when only females deal with leakage? Because men deal with it too. It’s simply not true to believe it is only pregnant women or women in general who...
IT SMELLS LIKE FLOWERS!
What do you notice at the end of a long day of work? Or after going to the gym and working out hard? Do you feel sweaty “down there”? Do you notice dark spots in your clothing from sweating “down there”? Do you notice the soap smell you had...
PERSONAL HYGIENE…WHAT TO KNOW
First and foremost, raise your hand if no one has ever taught you or spoken to you about proper hygiene of your body? How much soap to use, where not to use soap, what to scrub, what to be careful with? Be honest. Honestly think about it. I remember just watching and learning...
HOW I GREW TO LOVE MY PELVIS
Half the time, I notice my patients come in and sit down without having any idea why they are here. Most of the time, they ask, “How in the world could a physical therapist help me?” Typically they are anxious, afraid, fearful of the unknowing. I can just see it in...
THE VAGINA DIARIES
Reading that title made you cringe didn’t it? I mean, who in their right mind would say VAGINA out in the open? Well, I would. I just did. Oops? Why not?! We say back, neck, knee, foot, mouth….why not vagina? It’s a part of the human anatomy. The word itself...
LAST DAY FOR A SWEET TOOTH!
I was craving chocolate today. I’m not sure why all of a sudden on the 20th day, however, here it is. And remember, I was not cutting out or eliminating sugars however I’ve been trying to limit my intake of sugars. I know I feel much better without the intake of...
19TH DAY WITH CUCUMBER SUSHI!
Yes, I said Cucumber Sushi. I did. I realized following my epiphany the other day that I need more veggies. More variety and to get away from what I’m usually doing. I wanted to see if I could use several different veggies to put together a veggie sushi. So, here is what...
18TH DAY WITH CHICKEN!
I LOVE chicken. For some reason it is my favorite type of protein. I can eat it with anything, at any time of the day, with any type of spice on it or just plain. I’ve always enjoyed chicken. Today, I wanted baked chicken with BBQ sauce. Now, note, I make my own BBQ...
