Skip The Doctor’s Office And Order Birth Control Online

It’s always been such a hassle to get birth control, and if you’re currently taking or have ever taken it, you know the struggle. By the time you’ve gone to the doctor’s office for your appointment, gotten your prescription, then to the pharmacy to pick it up, the entire day has disappeared. Ain’t nobody got time for that! 

Now you can skip that mess altogether, and order your birth control online and have it delivered straight to your door (in discreet packaging) or to your pharmacy. 

To order through an online service, you’ll just have to answer a few questions about yourself, complete a medical history questionnaire, and add your insurance info (if applicable). Some require video visit with a doctor. But you’ll never have to step foot outside your home, and you can receive your birth control within a few days. Yes, it’s really that easy! Some accept insurance and offer low cost birth control options, so you won’t have to pay much, if anything, out of pocket. You can even order prescriptions for other medications through these same services, like Latisse, tretinoin, hair loss medication, contacts, and lots more.

This is particularly helpful in states with contraception deserts, where reproductive healthcare funding has been cut and access to low cost clinics is non-existent, or for women whose employers have opted out of birth control coverage on religious or moral grounds. In six states (Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, and South Dakota), pharmacies have the right to refuseto fill your prescription for religious or moral reasons. 

Though the United States may still be living in the dark ages when it comes to women’s reproductive rights, these online services make access to birth control a little easier and a lot less stressful.

Check out this list to see which services are available in your area.

If You Know Who Milli Vanilli Are, Stop Doing Your Concealer Like a Youtuber

There are some universal truths. One of which is that our skin, post 40, just isn’t what it is when we were 25. Because life isn’t fair. But at 25, most of us were flailing around in deep existential crises and finding ourselves on dates where we were made to feel unsophisticated if we didn’t want to bone on the first night and acting like we knew exactly who we are when in fact we didn’t know the first thing about who we are and pining after some jobless super douche named Xavier. So, if getting older means having any of that get even a little bit better, I’m happy for the tradeoff being that I have to be more judicious with my concealer. Thrilled, even.  

So, we all know that the skin around our eyes is the thinnest on our face. Of course we know this. We watch things and know things and can see and feel this in our own faces. This thinness means this skin gets wrinkled, shows more veins, shows more signs of general wear and tear from life, more than other areas on our face. I feel like there’s this great makeup conspiracy that if you just throw enough light colored makeup on this area, it will erase, it will cover, it will turn back time.

The Best, Beautiful, Cheap Containers For Everything In Your Kitchen

As we all know, a perfectly decanted kitchen is what happiness is made of. A glittering, glimmering collection of vessels and jars and bins in your kitchen and pantry is a visual nirvana matched only by a meticulously color-coded refrigerator, bursting at the seams with a rainbow of farmer’s market produce. 

(Instagram has reeeeeeally done a number on us.)

However! The truth is, decanting can help you change how you feel in the kitchen, create amazing efficiencies for dinner and snack time, and even help reduce your calorie intake - in fact I wrote about that right HERE. (link to other decanting post)

Do You Know Your Adaptive Survival Style?

In 2019, the word trauma is basically a national catchphrase. 

The news is traumatizing; children being ripped from their parents at the border is traumatizing; reading about the assaults on #MeToo victims is traumatizing; learning about yet another mass shooting at a school, church, or music festival — that’s traumatizing. And yes, living as a woman, an immigrant, a person of color or a queer person in America can increase your risks of trauma a hundredfold or more. But before any of this, there was an event that was potentially much more traumatizing than what you read on your Twitter feed.  

Your childhood.
