It’s less about rebranding once the clock strikes midnight and more about committing to rituals that you think can benefit your life in some way. This can happen on any calendar date, of course, but there’s no time like the present. However, I do miss facials, and how they make me feel....
My period had been gone for over a year now, which I didn’t pay too much attention to at first, but intuitively I knew something was wrong, despite numerous doctors just telling me to get back on the pill.

Here’s the deal: There is an established daily nutritional requirement (aka adequate intake or “AI”) for ALA, the omega-3 you’ll find in plant sources like flaxseed, chia seeds, soy, and walnuts....
