A LOT of people ask my why I named this blog Medicinal Marzipan.

Since monday I have been thinking a lot about the last ask marzipan column in which I advised one reader to not forget about her own needs while in the midst of a romantic whirlwind, and I have decided that the topic of self care and preservation is one that deserves some more attention.
