Big Feet Reflexology Review (Kingsway, Vancouver Location)

1 Comment

For my 30th birthday, Dan treated me to a session of feet reflexology at Big Feet (Kingsway location) after I went on and on about how much I wanted to try a session. I’ve had short foot massages in the past and always found them to be relaxing and I knew of an acquaintance who swears by Big Feet massages so you can say I was very much intrigued with this franchise. What exactly is reflexology?

Obe Fitness Review

No Comments

I first learned about Obe Fitness when my Instagram was being flooded with their fun, bright and catchy ads boasting over 100+ live classes and on-demand classes from barre, to dance cardio.

My Copper IUD Experience

No Comments

*This post is most likely NSFW and TMI for those who are uncomfortable with sexual topics. This is my personal account with IUD; some readers may find it too graphical. I’m choosing to share my experience because, during my research, I couldn’t find many personal details/experiences of copper IUDs besides medical summaries of copper IUDs. *This is an old post that I recycled from my previous blog. As of May 2022, I am not on any contraceptives but I am more than happy to answer any questions about the IUD.  — It’s been approximately two months since I got my copper IUD inserted in me aaaaaaaand…. I don’t regret it all!  A bit about my background: 21 years old and…
