Now – if you’re new here, welcome to Medicinal Marzipan, where no topic is off limits and where TMI is both frequent and expected. Please, keep reading. Haha.

Also known as: Learning to forgive grudges, build authentic relationships, and being a REAL bombshell. Dear Audrina, Kristin, Stephanie, and Heidi, I love you. I really do.

I’m such a lucky girl. I can’t even describe to you the awesomeness that is my daily life during Bear Week in provincetown. For one week a year, and select weekends in october and march(?), the streets are over run with the most hilarious, joyful, loving visitors, pretty much single handedly trumping all of the [...]

More and more often lately I have been having conversations with people about their fear and lack of confidence in sexual situations. And I have found myself surprised because these woes have been coming from the least likely suspects, women who I had formerly known to be strong, independent, sexy, and smart. Then I was [...]
