I’ve been promising (or is it threatening?) to write this blog post for months. If you’re one of my friends IRL, you’ve most likely heard me talk—ok, maybe gush—about Melissa Wood Health. It’s an online fitness-and-then-some platform by Melissa Wood Tepperberg, a wellness influencer. Sure, you might be rolling your eyes at the phrase “wellness […]

Whether you hate-watch or fully embrace the kitsch like I do, chances are you’ve taken part in the phenomena that is Emily in Paris on Netflix.

The retail price of insulin increased 262% from 2007 to 2018, a 2020 investigation reports. Honestly, I could stop my post here with that unfathomable stat. But, of course, I won’t. Let’s back it up for a moment and look at some crucial facts: Out of 34 million diabetics in the US, 1.6 million of them […]

Back in January, I went to a close friend’s wedding and wore a bright pink dress by Australian label La Maison Talulah. I was obsessed with it! I actually wore one of their pieces to the rehearsal dinner, too—featured in that same Instagram post—without even realizing it at the time. So when they reached out […]
I’m fully aware that I owe you guys both my May and my June reads—sorry—but this one should occupy you for a while. So head to your local library or bookstore on the way to the beach and get reading! Colorfully yours, Haley Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson—4/5 In all honesty, I usually […]
