Playing Frisbee is one of my favorite leisure activities. It’s fun and always manages to put me in a great mood.

I play with my family at least once a week, at the park or in our backyard. When we were beginners, our games were relatively mellow and we’d lazily toss the Frisbee back and forth between the 20 feet or so that separated us. Today, we play on giant baseball fields so we have enough room to run for and catch our “extreme” Frisbee tosses.

We play with two different regulation Frisbees: this Discraft Ultrastar frisbee for daytime play and this Sportneer LED frisbee that lights up for nighttime play.

Is Microwaved Food Bad For Your Health?

The microwave was my mom’s favorite go-to kitchen appliance when we were growing up. We used it several times a day to heat up stuff like frozen burritos, leftovers, canned veggies, and water for tea.

I always felt a sense of dread in my belly when using the microwave, because nothing that came out of it ever tasted good. I’ve never understood how people can devour leftover pizza after heating it in the microwave, which turns it into soft, floppy goo. Why would you want that?

It wasn’t until years later as an adult that I finally learned about how terrible microwaves are for your food and nutrition.

5 Ways To Minimize the Effects of Hormonal Imbalances

December 5, 2015March 3, 2026 Sarah Ann3 Comments

Hormonal imbalances can be caused by a range of different factors—some of which are within your control, and some of which are not.

For instance, it’s not possible to fully control your hormones during puberty, pregnancy, and the stages of menopause. But if your hormones are off-balance due to factors like too much stress or lack of exercise, modifying these behaviors can go a long way toward reducing your symptoms.

Thankfully, there are things you can try on your own to mitigate the effects of hormone imbalances and start feeling better. Practicing the following behaviors has helped me for a few decades now—I no longer experience PMS symptoms. But, everyone is different!

I often read posts from women who boldly announce they’ve come to embrace their pimples and acne, accepting it’s “part of who they are.” I think this is BS, because there’s no reason ANYONE should have to live with acne problems!

Contrary to the popular belief that acne is hereditary and nothing can be done about it, it’s possible to prevent and eliminate acne by practicing a few clean, healthy habits. Exercising regularly, drinking lots of water, and eating nutritious foods are just a few things you can do to improve the appearance of your skin.

Of course, there are instances where hormone changes are to blame—such as that which occur during pregnancy and menopause— and there’s nothing you can do to help it. But certain behaviors can help mitigate the problem.

Now that the weather is cooler, I’m seeing a lot more runners at my favorite local park. This is super exciting for me! But while I’m stoked to be sharing the path with other runners, I can’t help but cringe inwardly when I see some people’s running forms.

Some clench water bottles or smartphones in their fists while they run, while others look as if they took running lessons from the dancing kids in A Charlie Brown Christmas. While part of me wants to giggle, the other part of me truly feels emphatic—mainly because they’re putting themselves at risk for injury, and not getting as much out of their workouts as they could.
