HOW TO MANAGE WORK STRESS DURING PREGNANCY

The negative effects of stress at work during pregnancy can affect you very significantly. If you’re a woman working who is currently pregnant, the most important thing that you’re thinking about is:

How Can You Reduce Stress from Work While Pregnant? The time of pregnancy is one in your life which comes with a lot of challenges and changes. These changes by themselves will create stress in your daily life. Add work stress on top of that, and you’re in for a catastrophe.

Stress during pregnancy is not a joke. It’s a problem that needs to be addressed to ensure the well-being of the mother and the baby. The negative effects of stress during pregnancy can be very dangerous.

Impacts of Stress at Work During Pregnancy An Increase in Blood Pressure When our brains are confronted with an anxiety-inducing situation, like meeting that naive time limit at work, the brain creates an array of hormones that temporarily raise our blood pressure. This can lead to the placenta not receiving sufficient blood flow. Considering that the baby is dependent on blood to supply energy and nutrition, this may reduce the growth rate of the infant.

Premature Birth and the Birth Weight Being Low

Being stressed at work for long periods of time could cause chronic changes to the hormone levels of your body and vascular system as well as the immune system. These changes adversely affect both the maternal health as well as the child, resulting in premature birth and the baby’s weight being low.

Anxiety and Depression

These are two of the most frequent consequences of stress in pregnancy. Your brain is already susceptible to stress during pregnancy, and it only makes it worse. Stress can trigger a surge of negative emotions which can eventually cause anxiety and depression. This affects the child also since the mom’s feelings and thoughts are linked to the baby’s.

How to Manage Stress at Work While Pregnant

Consult your physician about your concerns and formulate an action plan for these issues.

You can seek help from your friends whenever you need it.

  Eat well and get plenty of rest.

If you have desk jobs, speak with your manager and boss and set up some additional breaks. You can walk around during break to ensure that you are active.

Practice yoga and meditation to help you relax.

The Signs to Stop Working During the Pregnancy

If you are at risk of having a pregnancy that is causing complications, speak with your employer and stop working immediately.

If the pregnancy affects your performance at work and you’re feeling tired during the course of your day you should consider the possibility of taking the time off from work.

At the point of completing your pregnancy, specifically at the 7-8-month date, you must submit a request for your pregnancy leave.

If your job is physically demanding and you are in a position for long periods of time you are at a standstill, it could affect your health.

How Much Stress Is Too Much in a Pregnant Woman? If you feel overwhelmed, worried, and sad every day this could be an indication that stress is getting too much to manage. If you are noticing your body becoming weaker and fatigued and finding it difficult to manage your pregnancy demands alongside other obligations you should take a break. Discover ways of relaxing, like taking a yoga class or meditation for women who are pregnant.

The period of pregnancy is one that occurs in your life during which your body is the most precious guest. It is also your responsibility as host to make their house as relaxing as possible.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

“Baby bun? Why are you cryin’? Is there somethin’ wrong with our miracle?” Henry rushed placing both of his hands onto his precious wife’s four month bump: he had come home to see her sobbing her eyes out into her pregnancy pillow. “I-I have your b-birthday present, h-here” She cried handing him a crumpled piece of paper, “A fuckin hall pass? The fahk do I need this for?”

- A few hours ago -

“So Y/n, I know your man’s birthday is coming up soon, what are ya getting him?” Chloe smirked putting down her beer, she wasn’t really someone Y/n would hangout with, but considering she was friends with Stephanie it was kind of obligatory. Y/n shuffled uncomfortably as all eyes panned to her, this brunch with her girls had taken a weird turn, with them questioning her sex life and very clearly overstepping private boundaries. Y/n on the other hand was adamant that she would spill nothing, ultimately leading to the other women becoming increasingly annoyed.

“U-Uh I was t-thinkin’ of givin’ him the s-sweater I made him, a-and cookin’ him a m-meal” She whispered, pouting when she heard the others giggling and scoffing at her gift idea, her hand falling to her baby bump for comfort. Her little gemstone always had her back. Henry always loved her knitted goods, in fact most of his jumpers were ones she had made, and he never left home without a packed lunch from his woman.

“Girl, just cause you’re preggers doesn’t mean you can’t spoil him! Get him somethin’ better than some lousy knitted shit” Jenny giggled nudging Chloe playfully; Y/n’s hands now started to tremble, she had finally gotten used to nothing but praise thanks to Henry, but now that she was back in this toxic environment she could feel her anxiety start to swirl at the pit of her stomach. She wanted her Henry, and she wanted him now.

“B-but he usually likes m-my meals and h-he asked for a j-jumper” She whispered pursing her lips and clasping her hands together over her stomach, the lemonade she ordered now tasting like absolute poison on her tongue. “Why don’t you get him like a subscription to beer or somethin-“

“OR A HALL PASS? Omg a hall pass would be so good, because you’re obviously pregnant you should give him one, poor guy will need it” Chloe snickered interrupting Stephanie, “A-a hall pass? Whats t-that?” Y/n questioned tilting her head to the side like an adorable puppy, her hand softly rubbing over her stomach, her little miracle’s kicks following her hands every move.

“Basically girl, now that you’re pregnant, every man finds it harder to fuck his wife; let’s be honest it’s a very natural thing. A hall pass is like giving him a ‘get out of jail card’ like letting him fuck someone else for a night or something” She explained placing another chip into her mouth, as if she wasn’t just excusing cheating on Y/n. “B-But I don’t want him t-to” The smaller woman sniffled feeling tears already start to collect in her eyes, did Henry really find her unattractive now that her body was changing?

“I mean come on, are you really going to give him a lousy sweater? Here if it makes you uncomfortable for him to fuck someone else, I’m single!” Chloe joked motioning her hands to pretend she was sucking someone off, the rest of the girls giggling along with her, except for Stephanie who was disgusted by the whole exchange. If anything she was the only friend Y/n really enjoyed hanging out with, and the only friend Henry trusted her with.

“You guys need to knock it off and stop being disgusting shits, come on Y/n Henry texted me to get your somethin’ from the pharmacy” Stephanie grunted pulling Y/n up from her seat, scowling when Chloe tucked in a napkin into Y/n’s purse that said “Hall pass” followed by her own phone number. A poor sniffling Y/n, felt her own emotions starting to shuffle all over the place, her hormones truly had her. With her hand tightly clasped in Stephanie’s the both of them got into her car, when she finally let out a massive sob, wrecking through her smaller body; Stephanie reaching over giving her hugs and whispers to calm her down.

“I-I D-Do you t-think h-he should get a H-hall pass?” Y/n questioned wiping her eyes and nose onto a hankie, her hands smoothing over her stomach, her baby must have realised she was upset; the little thing was wriggling around like crazy almost as if it was trying to provide its momma comfort. “I mean I was gonna suggest beer or a razor, Chloe is just a bitch and insanely jealous because you two are an absolute power couple. Plus it’s not exactly a secret how much Henry is in love with ya” Stephanie smiled booping her on the nose, sighing in relief at the sight of a smile on Y/n’s face.

“B-but maybe he does find me u-ugly now, h-he even offered to shave me down there” She pouted looking down, “Girl he did it because he wanted you to feel more comfortable, you’ve always been the trim typa woman”

“I guess so, s-so what do we need at the pharmacy?”

“Nothin’ I jus’ wanted outta there, Ya sure you’ll be alright girl?”

“Y-yeah H-hen gets home soon a-anyway” After seeing Stephanie go off, Y/n bolted for the bedroom, even after all the comforting words from her friend; she still couldn’t help but feel unwanted and ugly. Would Henry find her pretty again if she let him fuck Chloe? Fuck, just the thought of it haunted Y/n’s thoughts, her man had always told her that he was only for her, and that she was only for him. There is no Chloe in the equation.

- Back To Present -

“A fuckin hall pass? The fahk do I need this for?”

Henry growled holding the napkin and seeing some random number beside it. “I-I” Y/n couldn’t even get words out without sobs shaking her whole body, leading Henry to pull her onto his lap as he sat against the headboard, one hand cupping her face gently while the other cupped his baby miracle. “Calm down sweetpea, tell daddy what happened to your n’ our miracle today”

“W-well we all went t-to that cafe b-by the s-square” She stopped, crying again

“S’okay sugar pie, breathe with me, m’right here and m’not lettin’ ya go” He whispered kissing her cheek softly, the hand one her stomach sneaking around and grabbing a cheek full of ass, making her squeak and gasp. “C-Chloe said t-that because i-i’m pregnant, you wouldn’t find-find me pretty a-anymore, a-and that I should l-let ya b-be with her for a-a night” She explained nuzzling into his palm, his thumb running over her cheek affectionately.

“Are ya fuckin’ crazy, you are the g’damn sexiest thing on this planet sweetpea, my sweet gorgeous wife. You’re takin’ care of our little baby in there, how could ya not be more beautiful? Ya shoulda jus told them we still fuck every night like rabbits-“

“Stoppp, s’embarrassing, b-but then why’d you offer t-to help me shave?”

“Cause baby bun, I know you’re not a grower, n’ I had an idea for ya”

“o-oh I see” She said now realising that her thoughts were jus messin’ with her, “I get so worried cus a forget how fast ya mind is runnin’, ya gotta keep me in the loop sugar, cause you’re mine” He explained leaning in and kissing her wet lips, his hands grasping her waist, kneading her skin.

“I-I know, m’sorry, she j-jus really freaked m-me out. C-cause you’re m-mine and I don’t w-want ya l-lookin’ at anyone else” She explained, Henry smirking at her shy nature, the way she shuffled closer ok his lap, her arms clasping around his neck. “Now ya understand how I get baby, we just need each other n’ no one else” He said lowly, his lips pulled up into an almost eerie smile, as he then stood up from the bed and walked them both towards the bathroom.

Nodding at his words she giggled at the cold feeling of the bathroom counter underneath her thighs, just letting her wild man of a husband rip off her underwear, his electric trimmer already laid out on the side. “W-what was your i-idea?” Her hips bucked as his fingers rubbed her clit slightly before turning on the trimmer, if her stomach wasn’t already huge she would have looked herself. “You’ll see baby bun, jus ta remind ya, of me” He laughed skilfully moving the trimmer around, with Y/n giggling every time he leant forward and kissed her inner thighs or her stomach, he just could not keep his hands off her.

“W-will you help me, r-rinse off after?” With her lips puckered out waiting for a kiss, Henry stood up, letting her suck on his tongue for a few seconds before pulling away teasingly: he had already planned on rinsing her off himself anyway. Lifting her onto the shower bench, he rinsed off her freshly shaven pussy, clearly proud at the thing he had engraved onto her nestle of curls. The letter ‘H’

“What ya think baby, are ya mine or what?” He sang snapping a picture of her pussy and showing it to her, it wasn’t unusual that during sex he would simply take pictures of him leaking out of her, or the faces she would make whenever he was cumming right inside her warm centre. “ I-I love it, m’all yours” She giggled watching him pat her dry with his towel, following him as he led her back into their bedroom, softly setting her on top of the array of cushions and blankets.

“Who made this blanket baby?” He said holding up a woollen baby blue blanket, “M-me” She whispered watching him pull up her dress over her body, leaving her body naked in front of him, his precious masterpiece. “Mhm ya made it for us, n’ our little gemstone, our little family. No one else” He grumbled kissing up her stomach, smiling every time his baby kicked up at him, he couldn’t wait to find out the gender in a weeks time.

“Our little family” She whispered, trying to hold back a smile as Henry peppered hundreds of kisses up her body, his hands grasping at her growing tits, kissing at her nipples and watching them harden. Every night Henry would treat her to a nice breast massage, claiming it would help the milk come in faster, now was that true? Y/n didn’t know but any excuse to have him touch her was a welcomed one. Frankly Henry didn’t know either.

“I’m not gonna fuck you tonight sugar pie, m’ gonna make love to my gorgeous pregnant wife, who is the most amazin’ woman av’ ever seen” He whispered directly into her ear, kissing the shell of it as he felt her hands splayed out on his chest. “R-really?”

“Mhm going to take it nice n’ slow, love on every single parta you, n’ show ya jus’ how much ya mean to me” Looking into her widened doe eyes, he gave her an eskimo kiss, then let their lips meet in a slow, long passionate kiss. Their lips simply feeling each other, their tongues gently massaging each other as she whimpered against him. “Love you so much, my baby bun, all obedient n’ beautiful; my wife, mother of my baby”

“I-I love you too, can’ wait to m-meet our little m-miracle” She hiccuped pushing forward for their lips to meet again, whining when Henry pulled away and turned her body so he could spoon her, placing a soft pillow underneath her bump to make sure she was comfortable. “Ya comfy momma?” “Mhm, miss holdin’ y-you though” She whispered, gasping when she felt Henry’s hand intertwined with hers, his head settled into the crook of her neck; his warm breath fanning her neck to make sure she knew he was with her. He was staying.

He whispered that he was momentarily going to let go of her hand to prepare her for him, his hands lifting her leg up slightly, to allow his hand to venture in massage her slick set of lips gently; her soft gasps and whimpers causing her to nuzzle back into his chest. His athletic shorts were easily shrugged off, revealing that he wasn’t wearing anything underneath, his cock already slipping itself through her folds. Y/n whined opening and closing her hand, clearly wanting to hold his again, smiling in relief as he held onto hers tightly.

Both of them breathing out as she took him inch by inch, bottoming out inside her as his balls rested against her ass, with Y/n holding Henry’s hand close to her chest; kissing his knuckles every so often. “Love this pretty pussy a’ yours, always so welcoming n’ warm, all for your husband isn’t it?”

“A-all for you, m-my husband” She whispered softly bucking her hips to let him know he could start going, and within seconds his hips started rolling against hers, slowly and deeply reaching every inch inside of her; dare I say he even poked her womb a few times with how deep he was going. Taking his hand he reached under his pillow and retrieved his phone, angling it in front of Y/n as he kissed her neck sloppily, taking a photo of her eyes rolled to the back of her head; her mouth agape and drooling onto Henry’s arm under her head.

“My pretty girl, you’re doin’ so well for me, so prouda ya” He whispered dropping his phone, his hand landing onto her tits, grasping both of them in the middle of her chest, rubbing both nipples in a circular direction; his cock stuffed into her velvety walls, his rhythm staying the same. “F-feel you so deep, t-too good” She breathed out cupping her stomach which was now bouncing along with his thrusts, which caught Henry’s eyes as he then cupped the bottom of her stomach. That photo was definitely going to be his phone wallpaper

“Who knocked you up? Who got you this full n’ swollen?”

“Y-you did daddy, f-fuck, feel so full” She moaned, his hands rubbing up and down her stomach lovingly, the fact that she was holding his baby just made her that more irresistible to him; she was taking care of the perfect mix of them both, their baby miracle. “You dare call yourself ugly, you wouldn’t call our baby ugly would ya? So why would call its home ugly? You’re protectin’ them with this beautiful haven inside ya baby, you’re amazin’” He whispered, his hands flowing down to her pussy, feeling the pattern of the H, his fingers found her precious little clit, rubbing the sensitive button until he felt her clench around his length. “These beautiful tits are gonna feed and nourish our baby, n’ maybe me sometimes, how can you say they’re not sexy as fuck; how you’re able to do all these things naturally, as my woman” He joked nipping her shoulder, feeling her giggle and her hole clench at the idea of her own husband sucking on her hardened nipples.

“Can feel you gettin’ close honey” He whispered watching her face turn to the side, her hand reaching around to his head, her lips pushing his into an open mouthed tongue kiss; his thumb lovingly wiping her drool covered chin, his thrusts not letting down. “b-baby, beautiful, f-family” She said clearly cockdrunk, muttering out words that she had heard from her husband, “Yeah baby that’s right, now do ya think ya can let go for daddy?” He cooed letting her nuzzle her head back into her cushion, his smile softening at her smile and at the way her hand instantly reached to hold his.

“Am’ gonna cum H-Hen”

“S’okay sugar babe, m’ gonna cum too, together okay?”

Henry picked up the pace just for her, her whines and whimpers getting louder until finally he felt her creamy onto his cock, his own juices spurting inside her; causing her to breathe out happily at the warm stuffy feeling inside of her. “I love you, don’t ever fuckin’ doubt that, you have a nasty thought in your pretty head? You tell me n’ i’ll sort it out” He growled kissing her cheek as he turned her to lay on her back, with him propped up on his elbow as he traced over her stomach. “What are ya t-tracin’?”

“Hearts, so our mini baby bun knows what love looks like” He chuckled finishin’ his tracin’ looking up to his wife’s eyes, with her getting all giddy and smiley at his confession. “I-I already love ‘em so much, g-gon dress them so p-pretty. N’ w-we can play i-in the fields w-with them” She giggled playing with his fingers which were on her chest, the post sex haze doing nothing but accentuating their love for each other. “Pretty like their gorgeous momma” Henry whispered pecking her lips once more before he remembered something.

“Now how about I show ya somethin’, ya don’t havta walk, ill carry ya” He whispered as she nodded, the both of them trodding to the end of the long hallway towards his work room, her eyes widening at the site of two wooden bassinets sitting at the corner of the room. “Y-you made this for mini bun?! B-but why two?” She wondered looking up at his deep blue eyes, “m’ preparin’ for the next one bunny”

“t-two babies” She giggled whispering to herself at the idea of her big gruff husband handling two tiny tots at once, watching him dote on them like the protective man he was. “Mhm m’ gonna keep ya barefoot n’ pregnant, like ya this way baby bun, all swollen an’ big for me” He gruffed nuzzling his rough bearded cheek against her soft one, “Told ya, you don’t need those stupid friends a’ yours when you’ve got me sugar, m’all ya need and our mini bun right ‘ere”

Baby Development: The app provides information on the baby's development, including milestones and what to expect at each stage.

Expert Advice: The app provides access to expert advice, including doctors and nutritionists, to answer any questions or concerns users may have.

Drawbacks

While the iMumz app provides several benefits, there are also some drawbacks to consider. Here are some of the drawbacks:

Limited Availability: The app is currently only available on iOS devices, limiting its availability to a specific group of users.

Cost: While the app provides several benefits, it comes at a cost, and some users may not be willing to pay for a subscription.

Limited Support: While the app provides access to expert advice, it may not provide the level of support that some users require.

However, some users have reported issues with the app's functionality, including bugs and crashes. Some users have also reported issues with the app's customer service, with slow response times and difficulty in resolving issues.

As a relatively new company, iMumz has plans for expansion and further development of its platform. The company is currently working on adding new features to the app, including additional exercise programs, mental health support, and personalized parenting advice. 

iMumz also plans to expand its community aspect by incorporating more interactive features, such as live chats and webinars.

In terms of expansion, iMumz plans to expand its availability to Android users, increasing its user base and potential revenue. The company also has plans to expand globally, targeting markets where there is a high demand for parenting resources and support.

The company's founders have stated that their long-term goal is to become a one-stop shop for all parenting needs, providing a comprehensive solution for parents throughout their journey. This goal aligns with the company's branding and positioning as a personalized care and support platform.

Marketing and Branding

iMumz has positioned itself as a comprehensive solution for expecting and new parents. The company's branding focuses on the idea of personalized care and support, providing a solution for parents throughout their journey. 

The company has a strong social media presence, including Instagram and Twitter, where it shares information and resources for parents. iMumz has also partnered with several influencers and celebrities, who have promoted the app on their social media platforms. 

The company has also participated in several parenting events and conferences, further increasing its brand visibility.

User Experience

The community aspect of the app has also been well-received, with many users finding support and advice from other parents.

The parenting app market is competitive, with several established players such as BabyCenter, The Bump, and What to Expect. These companies provide similar features and services as iMumz, making it challenging for the company to differentiate itself from its competitors.

However, iMumz's focus on personalized care and support sets it apart from its competitors. The company's comprehensive approach to parenting support and its community aspect provides a unique value proposition for users. 

Additionally, the company's plans for expansion and further development of its platform show its commitment to innovation and providing a comprehensive solution for parents.

Conclusion

Overall, the iMumz Pregnancy Care to Parenting App provides a comprehensive solution for expecting and new parents. The app's personalized care, nutritional guidance, fitness programs, community support, baby development tracking, and expert advice make it a valuable resource for parents throughout their journey. 

However, the app's limited availability, cost, and limited support may be drawbacks for some users. Nevertheless, iMumz has positioned itself well in the market and has the potential to become a go-to resource for parents in the future.

good looking boy

pairing, kurtis “kurt” kunkle x reader

summary, general n’ relationship headcanons abt kurt that i wrote in the shower cause i get to do what i want

word count, 2.1k

byr, i got a new new job cause sitting on my ass doesn’t pay the netflix subscriptions, so excuse my absence for the past couple of days. PLEAAAAASSEEE IVE BEEN ADJUSTING LET ME LIVE

ill totally answer some asks asap cause i love you sm and i totally wanna write what yall wanna read, just give me a couple of years seconds :)

also i havent watched spree in a good minute and i didnt feel like rewatching it so if mr kunkle is ooc ignore it

(p.s. i wrote this while eating drinking? chocolate vanilla mixed pudding out of a straw. you’re welcome for that information.)

warnings, fluff and nsfw content but no actual smut, swearing, car sex, oral sex (m and f receiving), cockwarming, dry humping, overstimulation, dacryphilia, mentions of murder, one mention of a breeding kink, one mention of pregnancy, one mention of cutting (not sh & very consensual!), one mention of emotional manipulation, kurt being icky wicky but still a cutie

sfw

im kinda shocked that ppl still love kurt but like ME TOO

i cannot stress the fact that kurt is a stalky perv at first enough. the first time you get in his car he instantly saves the footage and uses it for extra curricular activities.

he's genuinely willing to follow you around in his spree. he’ll wait outside for hours in front of any building you go to. the other passengers can wait, right?

he’d totally plug his socials in his regular socially awkward way, but stutters more than usual while he does it. (boooo. tomato tomato tomato tomato.)

along with shoving his socials down your throat, he’ll ask for yours back. even if you don’t give it to him, he’ll find it. he’d know practically everything about you after your first meeting. he has your address, where you go to work/school, what your third favorite meal is, how you did your hair in 2nd grade, etc.

totally tries to flirt with you and miserably fails to the point where it makes you physically cringe multiple times. he probably searched up how to flirt on wikihow a couple minutes before he picked you up.

let's be real here. kurt smells like pennies and bacon grease with the teeny tiniest bit of vape juice and dollar store body spray. his car always smells good, though.

after your first couple of drives, he gets the courage to finally ask you to go out with him. not without stuttering to all hell and having a camera somewhere, of course. it’s quality content for the kurties!

once you say yes and get through the little pre-dating stage, this pervy bitch is the cutest, nastiest, most loveable motherfucker you’ll ever see. buckle up mf

our favorite boy has the same amount of game that a middle school boy would have. you could be years into your relationship and he would still say stuff like “are you lightning? cause’ you could be my queen.” 

his viewers don’t believe he has a girlfriend at all. you really gotta make sure to tell them you aren’t kidnapped or being forced to be in a relationship with him.

brings you everywhere with him, no matter what. he might leave you back in his room when hes filming #TheLesson, but if you wanted to tag along he wouldn’t mind having you there.

he gets sick really easily cause his immune system isn’t immune to dog shit. i swear he’ll be fine one day then sneeze his ass off the next.

calls you the most random damn nicknames you’ll ever see. he’d definitely call you shit like “my little soda pop gummy bear” or “the barbecue to my chili” along with the normal baby and sweetheart stuff. (I SAW A HC THAT HE CALLS YOU HIS FAV KURTIE ONCE AND OMFG IT AIN'T TRUE)

please call him pretty. call him anything, for that matter. if its coming from your mouth, he’d love it. call him trash for all he cares, he’d be your trash anyday (same you lil hottie) <3

im gonna assume he's constantly on tiktok along with every other platform he could possibly be on 24/7. his screen time is a lil too high (same) but what did you expect. on top of that, his volume is constantly on 100 and he doesn’t like wearing headphones, so good luck with that.

kurt is always cold. his body is simply built differently. so instead of you putting your hands under his shirt, he’d put his under yours. (and would totally be offended and take it to heart if you don't want his icicle hands on you.) 

the absolute biggest attention whore ive ever seen. cuddling, hugs, hand holds, kisses, etc. 24/7. literally he’s fine with just being in your presence all day. wha- what do you mean you wanna run errands? who the fuck needs your time when kurie needs it more?

although hes an attention whore, kurt also needs his space and alone time. when he leaves, he leaves for a reason. don’t follow him out, don’t pester him when he gets back. unless you really wanna see why he loves “fuck, marry, kill.” so much. (goofy ahh threat)

you best believe most of the lovey dovey things in your relationship are gonna be streamed and recorded. not absolutely everything but enough to have a couples tiktok account together.

most definitely drops an L bomb during the first couple of weeks. he’s never had someone like you, and he doesn’t wanna let you go either. not that he’d actually let you go, anyway.

very whiny. like he's an actual man child, especially when he’s denied anything. (flashbacks to when you told him he couldn’t stream you doing random shit throughout your day.)

this bitch CANNOT see and i'll stand by that with my life. kurtie wears contacts. once in every blue moon he’ll actually let you see him with his chunky framed glasses on, but don’t post any pictures of him with them. he has a reputation to uphold, y/n!

he forgets to take care of himself all the time. shove him into a good steamy shower and get him to eat something other than a lunchable and can of off brand pepsi.

him getting up to lock his door after his mom walks in on you cuddling for the first time. he probably gets a padlock and a door stopper just to make sure it doesn’t happen again. (giving two middle school kids)

probably has a shrine of things he stole you gave him for whenever you're not there. it’s filled with everything from stuffed animals, to polaroid pictures of you sleeping. you don’t know about it and he’ll probably never tell you where it is.

not only does he giggle while he laughs, the mf snorts and clutches his stomach for dear life. it looks like his entire body is going through a stage 4 earthquake. 

gets into fierce arguments with the 12 year olds he plays with. im talking full screaming matches at ungodly hours of the night. (morning? morning. no it’s night- WAIT-)

“NO YOU’RE ACTUALLY DOGSHIT BRO! YOU LITERALLY DIED BEFORE ME-“

“kurtis. if you yell into that damn mic one more damn time–“

i wouldn’t say he’s incredibly toxic, but kurt can damn well manipulate any situation that he wanted. it’s a common tactic he’s used since he was a kid, and that wont change when it comes to you.

he has a cracked ass phone screen. literally pieces of glass are missing and he thinks it’s completely normal. please get him a screen protector asap

kicks his feet when he lays on his stomach. y'all cannot tell me he doesn't cause i won't listen whatsoever

please tell him to shut the hell up about his damn sub count. genuinely the amount of times he brings up views and likes during the day instead of regular human conversations is concerning. (THERAPY YOUR HONOR THERAPPYYY)

nsfw

kurt is a virgin. you know this, his passengers know this, everybody knows kurtie gets absolutely NO bitches. zero. zilch. damsels? non existent for him. 

he’s never had anybody as intimate as you before you came around, so he's instantly hooked after your first kiss together. 

loud. super loud. volume at 110% typa loud. i just cannot picture him being quiet whatsoever. he has to moan/whine/whimper, so on and so forth. 

him being extremely verbal isn’t always subjected to sexual situations, either. you could give him a quick squeeze on the shoulder and he’d groan super loud over the fact that your hands were on him.

if you're into it, he’s obviously gonna film it. y’know how famous he could get from a sextape, y/n? followers galore. he’d never actually share you though. they can look but they can’t touch.

kurtie likes boobies, but he also likes thighs. he wouldn’t say no to a fat ass, yet tummies are so appealing to him- he likes everything. just the fact that you’re his and he can actually touch any part of you is good for him.

cries when he cums. actually sobs. legitimately starts weeping. is the definition of ‘crying a river.’ its even better when he's overstimulated. (i just want one piece sir)

anotha one of those mfs that loves the idea of breeding, but would absolutely panic if he actually managed to get you pregnant. but then again, he could make a family channel! just think about the views it would rack up–

okay so kurt obviously isn’t the biggest dicked bitch in the neighborhood, but when he learns how to actually use what he’s got the sex is immaculate. jaw dropping, toe curling, has you smiling n giggling at the dinner table typa good.

stop drop and roll, halt, and pause cause imagine cockwarming him in his gaming chair until it’s eventually too much for him to handle, him putting his headset on you and giving you a severe case of wobbly legs.

could and will kill for you without an issue. he’s a scrawny little piece of shit, but man is he strong. mentally and physically. anybody you want, he’d find them for you. would probably also come home covered in blood and wanna give you a hug or some shit. (ew, kurtis.)

bucks his hips into your mouth while you give him head. at first it was an accident, then he realised what he was doing. he totally could stop it but the sounds of you gagging around him make him feel proud of himself.

i feel like he’d like having some music on during sex, but he’ll turn it of midway in the session cause he wants to hear every single sound you make. he can tell how much you’re enjoying it that way.

kurt has totally jacked off while you were in the same room. he especially likes to do it while you're napping in his bed. i 

don’t know why, he doesn’t know why, he just likes to do it.

grips on any and everything in sight and doesn't let go. seriously, you gotta pry him off of you before his nails start digging too hard. 

he blows condom balloons. you cannot look me in the eyes tell me kurtis kunkle hasn’t drawn a face on a blown up condom and given it to a person in his spree

he humps you like an actual bitch in heat. like you could be chill as hell on a random sunday evening and BAM the white man pounces and he’s rutting against you like his damn life depends on it.

he’s probably watched enough porn to know what a little bit of aftercare is, but was super awkward about it the first time. literally grabbed your sweaty body and gave you a side hug with a special high five. 

as much as i'd love to say kurtie is a certified bottom, he could totally dom whenever he wanted to. basically switches as quickly as he did when he told jessie she wasn’t going back to her home anytime soon. 

let's sit up here and be honest. if kurt is eating you out it isn’t for you, its for him. he takes pleasure in stuffing his face between your legs for hours on end. he tries to inconspicuously rut against the bed, but we all know what he’s doing.

imagine flirting with somebody in his spree as a joke, and him being dangerously silent about it until they get out of the car. if you could get a noise complaint from a vehicle, you’re getting one that day. 

literally do anything to him. he’s fine with it. you wanna choke him? sure! you wanna cut him? only if you use the hello kitty blade. you wanna bite him? he's offering several limbs in your direction. 

kurtie babe starts babbling when he gets close enough to cumming, especially when he decides to be talkative. it’ll turn from stable dirty talk to incoherent slurred words. 

when he eventually learns that an awkwardly sweaty side hug doesn’t fit as aftercare, he asks you what you’d like him to do for you. he’s officially maid kurt when it comes down to taking care of your needs.

the bath is ready, with your salts and bath bombs of choice, as well as the tower of bubbles that’ll take forever to go away. a pair of matching onesies and fuzzy socks are ready for both of you to slip into when you’re done soaking.

he falls asleep pretty quick, but he’ll try to stay up most of the time. one time he got into the tub before you and knocked out to the point where he didn’t know where he was when he woke up. 

wsp baby dicks and mama chicks :)

man oh man i havent been able to write anything in forever i was so sad abt it

idk if people still read abt kurt but i personally do and ill read my own shit if i have to

Werewolf Boyfriend: Finn 4

The baby is here. Now What?

Female Main Character x Male Monster (both cis)

Things have been so hectic lately that Finn and I haven’t even been able to think of getting married. We have a ring, although I’ve not been able to wear it due to some swelling. Between building the addition to the house and everything it takes to welcome a baby into the world, we just lose track of time.

Our daughter Merethe is born on a particularly humid day. I’m absolutely soaked with sweat by the time we get to the hospital, but she comes out healthy, strong, and completely bald. I’m in such a swirl of hormones and emotions that when I first held her, I cry because she doesn’t have any hair.

I’d been prepared for postpartum depression long before this, certain that it had affected my mother before me. Finn is ready too, and has read every book on the subject to prepare for Merethe. When we bring her home, it’s a relief. Being in the hospital makes me uneasy, but being home feels more grounded, more certain. If I’m home, that means nothing might be wrong aside from what we expected.

I’m on bed rest for a while, but I have Finn with me often, and when he isn’t available we always have someone else around. Shauna visits a lot, as she’s dealt with similar things as me during pregnancy. She’s a great comfort. Once I’m able to walk around, I try to busy myself when I’m not caring for Merethe. I clean like crazy, organizing everything to a point where Finn can’t find things anymore. I search online for healthier diets for Finn and me, and even go so far as to order some of those meal delivery box subscriptions.

I think Finn notices I’m spiraling a little, so he takes time off work, hiring a new guy to take his place for a while. We learn baby massage from some online courses, and between Merethe’s feedings we do skin-to-skin contact bonding. I love seeing Merethe lie on her father’s chest. Knowing Finn is around, really helps in my recovery.

Merethe is getting bigger by the day, and eventually begins growing platinum-blonde hair that looks almost pure white. It grows in both loose curls and tight ringlets, giving her a messy look even when her hair is cleaned and brushed. She also starts walking sooner than we expected, and baby-proofing becomes a mad dash to the finish line. For a while, I have to use hard ties and rubber bands to lock the cabinets.

One afternoon, Finn is taking care of Merethe while I go shopping alone. It’s a breath of fresh air, but the entire time, I can’t help but miss my little family. I miss Merethe’s tiny smile and grabby hands, the way she throws her head down against my chest and nuzzles like it’s the comfiest place on earth. When I come home, I bring in the few bags by myself, knowing Finn and Merethe are probably napping. The house is quiet as I walk in, so I tiptoe about to put the food away. As I’m in the fridge, taking out old bread, Finn appears in the kitchen.

“I have a question for you,” he whispers.

I look up and brush my hair aside. “Yes, I bought the cherry chocolate swirl you like so much.”

He grins. “That’s good, but that has nothing to do with my question.” He walks around the counters and kneels on one knee. “Will you marry me tomorrow?”

I let out a breath, and I can’t do anything but laugh.

“I’m serious, Aysle.” He squeezes my hand tight. “Let’s get married tomorrow. We can go to the courthouse and invite whoever we want. We can get married now and later, if we want, we can have a beautiful ceremony.”

He looks so excited, I could just about cry. “What brings this on?”

“I realized while you were away that I couldn’t stand another moment not being married to you.” He holds up my wedding ring and places it back on my finger. “Lene even said she would watch Merethe for the night, so we could have a honeymoon.”

I bite my lip and nod. “Of course I want to marry you! I’m just surprised!”

Finn jumps up, hugging and kissing me. “I’ll handle everything. Tell me what you want and I’ll do it. But I do have one request.” He walks over to the broom closet, and from the top shelf I can never reach, he takes down a box. “Wear this.”

“How long have you been planning on popping this?” I take the box over to the kitchen table to open it.

“A lot longer than today.” Finn stands behind me, wrapping his arms around me. “Before Merethe was born, after she was born, three months ago.” He kisses the nape of my neck. “All my life.”

I turn to kiss him for being far too sweet. I open the box to find a beautiful white dress inside. It has long sleeves of billowy organza that cuffs at the wrist, and more organza draped down onto the chest and bunched at the waist, trailing into misty wisps and folds to give the illusion of a full skirt. It’s simple but beautiful.

He kisses the top of my head. “It’s not a wedding dress, but I saw it on one of Lene’s sites and I knew it was for you.”

I sniffle, quickly setting the dress back into the box so I don’t cry on it. Finn pulls my hair back. “Do you like it?”

I whip around so I can squeeze him as tight as possible. “It’s perfect! I can’t thank you enough.”

“I wanted to give you something special for the day, something I knew you would feel beautiful in.”

I sniffle and laugh as I pull away, grabbing a napkin to blot up my tears. “I’m getting you and Merethe for a lifetime. You didn’t need to give me the dress.”

Finn kisses my forehead as he rubs his hands up and down my arms. “You deserve a million dresses.”

“And where would I put them?” I blubber, and we both start laughing. Just as we begin to kiss in earnest, Merethe starts crying.

“I’ll go get her.” I give Finn one last kiss before I go into the bedroom to fetch Merethe and feed her.

The next morning, Finn goes to the jewelry store to get the wedding bands, while Lene and I wait at the courthouse. I’ve gotten the paperwork together, and the people we’ve invited are waiting outside for us. All I need now is Finn, but something seems amiss.

“I’m sure he’s doing something stupid,” Lene scoffs. “Probably getting the rings engraved, or he’s making them at the blacksmith shop.” She’s holding Merethe, bouncing her while she chews on one of her toes.

I look towards the entrance constantly. “He should be here by now,” I fret. “It shouldn’t have taken this long.” I’m growing more worried by the second. The jewelry store isn’t that far away, and he should have been able to get the rings and come here even before the paperwork was dealt with. I keep trying to chew my nails, but Lene stops me each time since we got them done this morning. I hold Merethe for a while to distract me, but with each tick of the clock, my guts feel like they’re about to spill on the floor.

Lene’s phone rings, and she scowls as she answers. “Where the fuck are you?! I swear to god I’m going...” She stops cold, then starts nodding her head. “I’m still killing you.” She turns her phone off and approaches me. “We’re going to Hyacinth Farms.”

“What?” I scoff as I stand up.

“Don’t ask questions. He gave me zero answers. We just have to get everyone to go to Hyacinth Farms.” She leads the charge, heading outside and shouting out the new plan while I get Merethe in her carseat.

Lene drives me to Hyacinth Farms, and as soon as we come upon the farmhouse I see a sea of balloons. There’s a path of white and pink balloons leading to the main barn, where Remi is sitting with a bouquet in his mouth. Remi trots up to me and nudges me to take the bouquet of wildflowers. The interior of the barn is lit with candles, and soft music is pouring out. Iver comes to me, taking my arm and leading me aside.

“Lets get everyone seated.” He gives me a wink, patting my hand as I watch everyone file into the barn.

“What is he doing?” I whisper to Iver. “When did he do all this?” Inside the barn, I hear Pachelbel's ‘Canon’ play.

“You’ll see.” Iver takes me to the entrance and walks me up the aisle. Standing at the end of the aisle is Finn holding Merethe, and Mrs. Locklear dressed in a beautiful purple suit. I am so close to becoming a crying mess. I cling tight to Iver’s hand until I reach the end and he passes me to Finn.

“What is this?” I whisper to him.

He purses his lips and presses his finger to them. “It’s a surprise.” He continues to hold Merethe in one arm while holding my hand with the other.

Mrs. Locklear is all smiles as she looks between us. “Now, I’ve married quite a few kids off in my time here, and each wedding is unique. Every love story looks similar on the cover, but it’s the pages inside that change everything completely. It’s the words spoken between us and the silences that sometimes follow. It’s the patter of rain on windows. It’s the sound of a coffee pot turning on first thing in the morning. There are so many words to describe love, and yet we can never say it enough.” She straightens and takes a deep breath.

“Today, we see a new chapter in the love story between Aysle and Finn, and little Merethe too. Today we celebrate, and tomorrow they begin again.” Mrs. Locklear takes Merethe so Finn can hold both my hands. “Finn, do you have your vows ready?”

“You have vows?” I whimper.

Finn grins at me, giving my hands an affirming squeeze. “I believe as we grow, our vows will change. Nothing stays still, but I promise I will always be moving beside you. Whatever road we choose, whichever way the currents flow, I’ll be by your side, making promises, changing plans, and keeping you forever in my heart. Whether my vows mean taking out the garbage or doing dishes, and if they change to fixing bicycles and mowing the lawn, my vow to love you is immovable.” Finn’s hand trembles as he puts the ring on my finger, and he tries to steady himself, but it only makes him shake more.

I have tears running down my face as I look at him. “Me too,” is all I can squeak out, and soft laughter ripples through the crowd.

I shake my head as I try to collect myself. “I came to this town alone, but I’m never going to leave it that way. You are my peace, my rock, and I will hold on to you for dear life if I have to,” I laugh between my tears. “I’ll hold your hand through everything, and I will be your rock as much as you have been mine.”

“Mommy, mommy, daddy, daddy,” Merethe begins to burble.

I smile so joyfully I can barely stand it. “We will fight and we will cry, but my hand is always out stretched to you, forever and ever.” I place the ring on his finger, then lace our hands together.

Mrs. Locklear sniffles and smiles. “By the power vested in me by the state of North Carolina, I now pronounce you husband and wife.” She grins brightly. “You may now kiss and start this new chapter.”

Finn picks me up off the ground spinning me as he kisses me. As he sets me down we take Merethe, kissing her on both her cheeks. We leave the barn with streamers and birdseed being tossed over us.

There’s food being prepared in the farmhouse, and a tower of cupcakes. While Finn and I have a moment alone, the barn is rearranged to house the reception. “When did you do this?” I wrap my arms tight around him. “I was so worried at the courthouse!”

“It was Shauna’s idea. She helped me throw this together over the last few days.” He kisses my face all over. “Did you like it?”

“I just about died when I got here!” I take tissues and try to keep my makeup in place. “This was the sweetest, most remarkable thing you’ve ever done!”

“Well...” Finn takes Merethe. “Aside from this one, I think it’s one of my best works.”

There’s a knock on the door, and Lene pops her head in. “The reception is ready, we’re waiting for you two for a toast.”

In the barn, the chairs have been moved and there are tables set up. The tower of cupcakes is front and center, surrounded by an assortment of drinks and other snack foods. Finn and I give our toast, and I have my first sip of alcohol in over a year. It makes me tipsy real quick. We dance and celebrate, and have a wonderful time. Then Finn and I hop into a car to go to our honeymoon. It’s only for two days, but I’m still anxious to leave Merethe for the first time. Lene promises she will bring Merethe to us if we miss her too much.

We drive just a little outside of Hearthway Hollow to Camp Wolfpun. There, Finn has rented us a cabin just for the weekend. “It’s not the honeymoon in Italy we talked about, but hopefully, it will do,” Finn says as we walk inside. There’s a gift basket on the table filled with all sorts of fancy foods, and a bottle of champagne and glasses.

I start to giggle. “Is it weird that I’m nervous?”

Finn arches his brow at me, tossing our bag aside. “What’s to be nervous about?”

“It’s been a while since… you know.” I bite my lip. “Not to mention our first time married.” I press my palms against his chest. “What if it’s not as good as it used to be?”

“It was too good before to change just because of a marriage certificate.” Finn eases me down to sit on the bed. “I doubt there is anything that could change my desire for you, Aysel.”

“I’ve had a baby.”

“So have I.” He takes off his shirt and pats his stomach. “You’ve not said anything about the spare tire I’ve gotten since Merethe was born.”

I smile at him. “She didn’t come out of your spare tire.”

Finn kneels on the floor before me. “Vaginas are magic, what else can be said?” He takes my hands into his and kisses my knuckles. “Are you feeling up to it?”

I nod silently and cup my hands around his face. I run my fingers through his hair, down his neck, and knead them into his shoulders. He rises up, laying me back on the bed while he kisses me. His hair falls down around us like a canopy, shrouding the rest of the world.

“My wife,” he whispers.

“My husband.” I paw at his chest and sides.

He leans down, pressing his lips against my ear. “I’m going to make you come so hard you get amnesia, then do it all again to make you remember. Got it?”

I bust into a fit of laughter as he bites and tears his way down my body. He undresses me and rips off my panties with a snap, then lets out a loud, dramatic gasp as he spreads my legs.

“What?” I freeze in worry.

“Holy shit,” he breathes. “It’s still so fucking cute.”

I burst out laughing again, slapping the top of his head until he dives in. His tongue and mouth press against me and I lose my breath mid-laugh. Have I gotten more sensitive since having Merethe? No. That’s not possible right? Why does his mouth feel better than it did before? Maybe because it’s been so long, it’s like he’s eating me for the very first time.

I pull on his hair, gasping for breath as his fingers stir me up. His tongue laps at me and his growl vibrates all over my skin. His blue eyes flick up to me, and I can tell he’s smiling.

“Let me catch my breath.” I try to sit up, but my arms are quivering.

He kisses my mound softly, his fingers move slow inside. “You taste even better than before. My beard is drenched.”

“Have you been practicing or something?” I swoon. “I swear, you’re better than I remember.” I prop myself up on the pillows.

“Same to you.” He presses his tongue against my clit, then sucks it between his lips.

I quiver, tighten, and arch off the bed. It’s been so long since the mountains shook for me. “Oh!” I cry out.

The cry spurs his fingers to move faster, pressing more intently on that special spot. I cry out again and reach down to pull his hair and tangle it between my fingers. The mountains rise from the earth, and I don’t have much time to catch a breath, because I feel the moon fall to crush us.

Finn just laughs. He’s crushed me, devastated me, but he takes it with pride. He wipes down his beard with a smirk. “You’ve certainly never done that before.”

“Done what?” I slur, drunk from his passion.

Finn kisses me, pressing his warm body against mine. “Let’s go into the woods,” he whispers into my ear. “Let’s howl at the moon and rattle the stars.”

He’s already begun shifting as I look at him. “I would love to.”

Finn picks me up and carries me outside the cabin. There’s a cliff overlooking the lake where he lays out a blanket for us. Two werewolves atop a cliff at night - what a cliche. I pull him down over me, kissing him and biting his neck as we join together. I squeeze tight around him, feeling every inch of him as he comes inside me. I look into his beautiful blue eyes, losing my breath as he moves. He shudders and pushes deeper, arching his back and rearing his head up towards the sky.

This big, beautiful wolf is all mine. He’s my husband, my mate. I never imagined a sweeter moment than this. The night is warm around us, keeping us safe as we make love. I breathe in the scent of rain and feel the earth move against my back.

“You’re so beautiful,” Finn whimpers. “I love you so much.”

I hold on tight to him as he continues to whisper sweet nothings into my ear. The earth is quickening, spinning, turning to sand under us. The light reflected on the lake shivers and bathes us in brightness. Then it’s raining, and yet we keep going. His strong movements push me deeper into the soil. His moans and growls are echoed by the thunder, my cries by lightning.We reach our climax as lightning flashes over the lake.

We lay panting and soaked in the rain, unable to move for a while. Then we rush back to the cabin completely drenched, laughing and happy.

“You’re going to get cold.” Finn wraps a towel and his arms around me.

“Let’s get in the tub,” I suggest. “Then maybe have coffee or champagne?”

“Maybe more of each other?” He kisses me.

The tub is small, but we manage to cram into it together. His legs hang over the sides, but it’s comfortable. The warm water and his body have me soothed to such a state I nearly fall asleep.

“What if we have another baby?” he asks dreamily.

I rub his thighs under water. “You know I got on birth control after I stopped breastfeeding.”

He chuckles. “I know. Three years before another.” He wraps his arms around me and kisses the top of my head. “I’m just being silly.”

“Yes, you are.” I kiss his arms. His hands cup my breasts, holding them and gently squeezing. “But that’s why I married you.”

He starts to giggle. “We’re married!” He kisses my neck and shoulders excitedly. “Can you believe it?”

I turn around, pressing my chest to his just so I can kiss him. “No. But I’m going to have to.” I rub against his chest, and he grabs my ass. “Already?” I giggle.

“You make me feel twenty years younger. What can I say?” He sits up, kissing me hungrily. “In bed this time, I promise.”

I cup his face between my palms. “Let me just look at you for a second. I want to remember you right now for the rest of my life.”

“That’ll be easy.” He kisses me lovingly. “This is the rest of your life.”

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

so this morning, while scrolling through my fb feed, i came across an nyt opinion/advice piece from a 27yo (ie basically me lmao) who is obviously lucky, in a sense, to finally land their “dream job using my (their) skills” etc. like obvs i can’t read it bc of the stupid “you get one free article a month if you either don’t have an account or subscription” (my one free article was used up reading an article about adult adhd like last week)….. thing that nyt does.

but anyway. back on topic lol. the crux of the article in both the headline and the quote snippet was that the advice asker was really dissatisfied with the 40 hour work week that came with her “dream job”. with how having this 40hr workweek gave her no time to do her busy chores like house cleaning or laundry or didn’t even give her time to let her have her hobbies/creative pursuits (whatever they were/are).

however, in the comments on the article (and apparently from those who read the article on the comments, the advice/opinion column writer) a good bunch of like gen Xer’s and baby boomers (im assuming) were ganging up on the asker like “suck it up princess, it’s what life is!!! i work 70+ hours a week and LOVE IT and have just resigned myself to the fact that i have NO time left over to do my “chores”! learn to O U T S O U R C E these life admin tasks to someone else!!! everyone MUST LEARN this in america!!! it makes life so much easier ☺️” and such.

of course, there were plenty of the same bs comments that you see on anything about careers or home ownership towards millennials/gen Z’ers about “learn to go WITHOUT and save save save and squander your time so that you NEVER live and HAVE FUN or TIME FOR HOBBIES! my bet is that your parents did that and they survived just fine while also raising your ungrateful spiteful ass (not including any type of health issues they might have picked up from such long hours/shitty working conditions) so why can’t you just L E A R N to do the same you precious spoilt brat!!! because the reality of Real Life™️ is that you can’t have it both ways!!! then you’ll have early retirement guaranteed, hopefully!!! and know that hobbies really are time wasters most of the time ☺️ or at least they were for me!!! and your precious so-called “creative pursuits” most definitely are time wasters. no one needs THOSE.” and so on so forth.

they also had jibes for her bc the asker wanted to start a family at some point apparently… and apparently it’s “much worse” once you have kids. like. thanks geraldine and henry. you’ve just told us how much you’ve resented having your kids/family in one fell swoop. your opinion which you’ve framed as unhelpful, condescending advice is now voided.

like. i don’t know how rhonda or paul or deandra or philip could miss the point so fucking entirely. why the fuck should anyone- nay everyone (bc that’s what they make it sound like)- learn to outsource their busy chores like laundry/house cleaning/grocery shopping or god knows what else- to someone else???? why is that apparently a standard expected to be learnt in the US???

like why the fuck are you so desperate for people not to have free time to do these things (unless of course they live in some of those shitty nyc or other big city apartment blocks that don’t come with individual private laundries in the self-contained flats or a communal laundry on like the bottom floor or w/e for example) frank????

deidre why the hell are you so bitterly hankering about “be grateful that you have it easier than most and learn that hobbies mean jackshit and just sell your soul and time to your boss!!! when will the generation stopping being “me me me!!!” and “work life balance!” and think about the company’s bottom line!! learn that “work life balance” is never important! work like a slave for 50 years and see if your valuable experience is needed then! that’s when you’ll learn that those hours where you were never being lazy, instead of just expecting life to be handed to you, will have paid off!” or whatever other ridiculously toxic capitalist bullshit they were spitting out.

obviously there were FAR MORE people actually supporting the question asker and echoing the idea that the 40hr workweek is now redundant. they were also putting down the opinion/advice piece writer’s advice to the asker….. that was apparently similar to the all the bitter people on the comments saying that the 27yo was just “asking for too much” and had to “learn to suck it up instead of being a petulant and overly selfish dick!!” etc etc etc. we all know the spiel as thoroughly as the macarena now.

because whats so fucking wrong with wanting time to yourself and wanting time to do your busy chores??? why the fuck should i be outsourcing these to other people (unless of course you’re still living at home and your parents are still like “hey what clothes do you need washed i’m doing a load rn” or you have a partner that works from home or has some type of parental leave etc)???? i want to do my own laundry. i want to do my own gardening (ok lawn mowing or tree lopping (if needed) i’d actually outsource bc i can’t lift or push lawn mowers bc they’re heavy af for me or and i obvs can’t use a chainsaw)… but i want to do my own grocery shopping. i want to do my own cooking (although i would consider the meal kit services once i had job that allowed me to afford like $50 a month for one of those meal kits sub services) i want to do my own cleaning.

why, if i lived in the US and not australia, am i just expected to learn to outsource all of these tasks even if i don’t have the money for it??? like why the actual fuck are so many of you so fucking weirdly proud of being absolutely worked into the fucking ground for your “great country” (although this is actually bleeding through to australia too and i hate it); working like literally close to 100 hours a week???

because i wasn’t aware you had to be whatever the fuck his name is from 127 hours and cut your fucking limbs off just to fucking survive a job in either corporate america or just let alone any goddamned job in america….. all so they can supposedly “learn to like working for free and devaluing your worth even more to your employer through overworking yourself and always being available!!! mental health is for those who aren’t built for the Real Adult World™️!!! this person is a prime example of the younger generations being weak and dissatisfied with life so often because of their “oh poor little me!!! care for me!!” act. NO ONE CARES FOR YOU today. stop being so over-expectant/demanding and juvenile!!! only YOU care yourself and you should NEVER expect someone else to pick you up from YOUR bootstraps!!! you’re fucking whiny and conceited babies. the lot of you!!!”

because i honestly don’t know who the fuck would enjoy working 70+ hours week with no time to themselves to do what they enjoy doing…. or enjoy having zilch time to catch up on errands and life admin duties or just general house chores; especially if you’ve moved cities or an entire fucking state/s away from your family and support network. let alone doing the same thing on 40 hours a week.

and on top of everything, let’s not even get started on the time spent commuting to and from work or even commuting for life errands/tasks etc etc- especially if you’re like me and you’re nowhere near the capital city’s centre (ie sydney australia for me) for there to be reliable enough public transport and longer commute times to certain places in those cities (that i’ve bitched about plenty before on other posts on here about work/jobs).

get your head out of your asses warren and viola et al and realise that work life balance is literally NOT ASKING FOR MUCH and is asking employers to just have basic respect for their employees time if they work fulltime. it’s literally detrimental to ones health if they have to sacrifice what feels like (or what is literally like) their entire fucking existence to their employer just for meagre pay and just to fucking survive.

because i read a heart-breaking article last night from huffpost (posted by buzzfeed on fb) about a woman in the US who literally hid her having a second baby from her employer for an entire fucking year (literally the entire pregnancy and birth of the baby and the first 6 months post pushing the baby out) during the pandemic all because she was scared she would get demoted or lose her leading of a project and lose her bs “temp” job which had really turned into full time work although the employer never said anything about it being actually full time hours or whatever…. and plus the lady herself was apparently to scared to ask to be put on the books fulltime too for some weird reason.

like honestly. fuck capitalism. fuck thinking that “work life balance is just too hard for employers to add and regulate. it’s an excuse and ploy for workers to be unprofessional, unproductive and lazy!” or whatever the fuck. everyone deserves time to themselves to pursue their interests/hobbies and busy chores/life admin. no one deserves to waste their entire life working 70+ work weeks for those employers who literally have no respect for their employees personal lives and time.

and particularly during the time that is the pandemic as we’ve seen so many companies having to learn to wholeheartedly embrace working from home and more flexible schedules for their workers. worklife balance is absolutely fucking beneficial for everyone involved.

america fix your bullshit work ethic right now lmao.

Rather, download and install a health and fitness application on your phone that gives you step-by-step workouts. A lot of these apps have actually H.I.I.T. regimens that just last regarding half an hour, so you can do them while your child takes a nap or you youngsters see TELEVISION. Many of these exercises require no devices, so you can even do them in the convenience of your living room.

Try to focus more on exactly how you feel.

Remember, you are worthy of to really feel confident. Utilize what little totally free time you need to better yourself. A pleased, stress-free, and also self-assured mother will produce a satisfied household!

Irreplaceable you pt 1

Sam x reader

Summary- inspired by the movie irreplaceable you. Sickness/cancer and a lot of emotions. Definitely grab a box of tissues.

You: "What if we stayed in bed all day?"

" That sounds like the best day ever. We should stay here all week."

You: "What if we got bored?"

"Us, bored? When have we ever been bored?"

" What if we got hungry? What would we do for food?

Sam: "Well, we could order takeout and have it delivered right there."

"you know dean would come in and make us get up."

Sam laughs "Stop. Stop worrying."

~~~~~~~

Full disclosure:

I didn't have to worry about any of that, because this is where my story ends. So does yours, by the way. So does everyone's.

It's okay. Really.

Most of it I don't miss at all.

One with nature.

Really.

Calm. Peaceful.

But then, there's Sam.

Sam was... is the love of my life.

Sams walking to your grave. You narratoring: " Hi, Sam."

Sam by your grave: "Hi, y/n."

But let's start at the beginning.

~~~~~

Even with being a hunter, you were so excited. You were late for your period, it had been a couple weeks late. Now it felt like you were bloated like maybe a baby bump showing.

"Sam?"

"Hey what's up ?" He answers as you walk into the library.

"I kind of have some good news." Siting down next to him.

"oh yeah what's that ?"

You smile big "well... we need to make a doctors appointment. Because... I think I'm pregnant. I haven't had my period for about two months."

His turn to smile real big "really????" You nod.

"This so great, I'm gonna be a dad.!" He hugs you and kissed your forehead then nose and then lips. "And I'm gonna be a mom."

You set up your doctors appointment for about a week later. You were getting some stomach pains. You got up to throw away your wrapper when:. "ah ouchhh".

'Why does this hurt so much.' you thought.

You were waiting for the doctor to come back and confirm your good news !

There's a big picture of a baby inside of a belly showing the insides and sam says

"that picture makes it look gross and painful."

"that's not helpful!" The doctor comes in:

"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting."

"Um, y/n, I have some difficult news. The blood test shows that you are not pregnant.

Oh. Sam grabs ahold of your hands and squeezes them.

" Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Oh, okay." It felt like someone just ripped your heart out but you couldn't believe it. Sam started rubbing your arms and hands.

"I guess that's okay. I- I mean, the whole thing was kind of a surprise... Yeah. We probably weren't even ready."

" Right-"

"It-it-it's just.. its weird 'cause, um, I know it's super early but I really feel something there." You say.

"The sonogram shows that you have a mass in your pelvis roughly the size of a tangerine. It can mimic pregnancy."

"A mass?"

"What kind of a mass?" Sam asks. He looked pretty discouraged to.

[Dr. Michaelson] "I don't want you guys to panic, because it couldbe nothing."

There's this moment

when everything changes.

You look back, and there was the moment before.

See that person?

Flashback to a few minutes -

"It's not helpful!"

She's thinking about whether she's hoping for a boy or a girl, and tiny fingers and toes, and then...

[Dr. Michaelson] "I'm so sorry to keep you waiting."

[you] and now Suddenly...

End of flashback

~~~~~~~~

You and Sam were laying down in bed:

"At least we won't have to pay for college." You say.

"Unless it's a really smart tumor... Too soon?" He says.

You sigh "It's too soon."

"A tangerine is better than an orange." You say.

"Or a grapefruit."

"Right. Or, um... What's bigger than a grapefruit?"

both of you say "A watermelon."

Cas can't heal you because he's human so there is really no other option.

.... At the doctors again .....

Did I say that was the moment?

[Dr. Kessler] "It's two tangerines and a grapefruit."

Correction, this is the moment.

"That's a lot of fruit."

[Dr. Kessler] "Uh, the tests have shown that it is cancer. And I know how hard this must be to hear. It's incredibly rare in someone your age. It's just... It's just terrible luck. Now we can talk aboutoptions whenever you're ready."

"Is there one that doesn't involve dying?" You ask.

[Dr. Kessler] "Uh, I-I've already consulted with a colleague, and after the initialsurgery, there's a clinical trial I'd like to enroll you in"

"You didn't answer my question."

Did he answer my question?

[Dr. Kessler] "We don't like to make predictions. But in addition to your treatment, I want to talk to you about your quality of life. Uh, we can help with pain management and some palliative care. And also some people have found great solace from supportgroups. I know this is a terribleshock, but let's take it one day at a time."

You knew you would go out one day probably hunting, but not like this. Not cancer.

"hello yes I would like to cancel my subscription to you guys."

"oh why is that?"

"I just have cancer now so I figured I wouldn't really be exercising."

"oh that's terrible. Are you sure you want to cancel?"

"yes . ... I am."

~~~~~ later that night ~~~~~~

Sam: "how you feeling?"

"I'm scared."

"It's-It's gonna be okay."

"What if I die?"

"We're gonna fight this, I'll always be there for you"

~~~~

Your laying on the floor because They say after surgery there's gonna be some minor discomfort.

It's Stage IV cancer.

Nothing is minor.

Nothing is comfortable.

Your doctor talking :

"So, let's, um, let's take another look at the proposed model for auto-associative memory and its constituent neural network."

'Or not. Let's not and say we did. Class dismissed.' you think.

you're walking to the other clinic and the guy greets me. "Hey."

"Hi."

"How's it going? I'm Dominic."

"y/n, Nice to meet you."

"I'm gonna be running your treatment suite."

"Treatment suite? "

"Oh, yeah, don't get excited. It doesn't even have four walls. Uh, go ahead and grab a seat right there. For the next time, you're probably gonna want to bring your own pillow in from home. You're also gonna need your cell phone with headphones and grab a magazine. Some of these guys tend to hoard 'em. You're gonna end up reading an old ripped up copy of Duck Enthusiast.

"Oh. It's okay, I don't read Duck Enthusiast. "

"Yeah, well, you will. All right, feet up. " he says.

"Uh, yes, you will feel like shit after this, but it's different for everybody. And no, your hair isn't gonna fall out right away. And besides, it looks like you have plenty of it, so you're doing good. Uh, and if you need snacks, you got to bring them from home."

Great. Just great.

You walk into one of the support groups.

"Hey."

"Come on in. We're just getting started. " the girl says. "Go grab yourself a hook and yarn."

One of the people in the group start saying "have you heard of Catholic yoga? It's a full Latin Mass with vinyasa yoga positions, and I come out... "

"You serious? " someone asks. "yeah!"

"How is Estelle holding up?"

"She's good. There's a new hawk in Central Park. Every morning we go out there and watch the little guy. I hope she keeps up the bird-watching after I'm gone. With whatever new guy she's banging.

[laughs]

"Welcome to group." they all say. "It's the way we roll."

" We have fun. "

"Cool." you say. The end of session finishes up and you start walking away when the guy who was talking about the bird calls to you.:

"The whole point is to mingle. "

"Not feeling up to it. " you say.

"Neither does anybody. That's why we do it. Myron. Multiple myeloma. You've never heard of it? Stay a while. " he says.

"I'm not really a mingler. "

"Not a crocheter either, apparently. "

"Didn't have time for pointless hobbies then, really don't have time for them now, and I'm especially uninterested in discovering that crocheting is a metaphor for healing or whatever."

"What you're feeling is totally normal." Myron says.

"You know, I wish people would stop telling me that totally insane things are normal."

"Have you looked around? "

"But you just accept that? You just accept everything that's going on? You make jokes about your wife having a new boyfriend?"

"I don't accept it, but in the event that I do kick the bucket, I hope she does find a boyfriend. Somebody nice. Less well-endowed to be sure, but nice. "

"Well, I just think I am in a different situation. Sam and I met when we were kids, and then started dating 10 years ago."

"How old is he? "

" Thirty-five."

"Yeah, he's gonna go through a major slut phase."

You laugh.

"I also have Tourette's."

You- "Good to know."

"Yeah. You come back."

"Nice to meet you, Myron."

"Nice to meet you, y/n."

"And thanks for the advice. "

" All right"

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you gonna go through a slut phase?" You ask Sam.

"What? No. Why would you say that?"

"You're not even thinking about it?"

"That's the absolute furthest thing from my mind right now. It's further than like meeting someone on Tinder." You chuckle.

"Okay, but Tinder can't be that far from your mind because you just said it, which means you had to be thinking about it, which means you're thinking about this too."

"Yeah. I'm busted." Sam says.

"I'm serious. Look at you. The puppy-dog eyes.

"What?"

" This is a disaster. "

Sam: "What are you talking about?"

"You don't know. Because you have no experience. Women are gonna eat you alive."

" I can take care of myself."

"I know But what if you can't? Who's going to get you to go to bed and stop researching? Who's going to make you real food?"

"you don't make me real food."

"Yeah, but I would, hypothetically. "

"Well, our hypothetical food has been in the freezer for like a year." You got up and started near the kitchen.

"What are you doing?"

"Figuring out how to cook a real meal."

"Now?"

"No time like the present."

"How do I cook a chicken?" You say into the phone.

[Siri] Let me think about that.

Okay, I found this on the web for "How do I cook a chicken?"

"It's gonna be amazing."

~~~~~~~~~~

Just 'cause you're dying

doesn't mean your life stops.

Sam has been through so much so maybe if you found him a new girl, he wouldn't think about your passing.

In group support-

"And so, uh, when my numbers came back this time, I just, honestly, I just thought I can't keep fighting."

[Kate] "Jim, you don't have to go there. 'Cause it's all about attitude. "

"Well, let's let Jim have his process."

[Kate] "Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I just think that his process should be more positive. Everyone is entitled to... to be sad."

"Thank you."

"You know what I'm loving these days is meditation. And I... I know it sounds trite, but I just have been feeling so blessed every time I sit there in silence. Maybe you could try that now?

You laugh.

"Or we could laugh."

"That's okay too. "

" Sorry. I'm sorry. Just... Some of these women are so cheesy. "I want to dip you in whipped cream and put my cherry on top." What does that even mean, anatomically speaking?" You ask.

"Using a sundae model as a sexual proposition. It is confusing. I have to s... " Myron says.

"I mean, cherry... cherry's got to be a hymen, right?" You ask.

"Probably a busted hymen." You giggle.

[Kate] "Mm-hmm."

"I... I, um... mine broke on a horse. And me, I was born without one. So... It was my favorite horse, though. " ......

"Okay, uh, that's about it for today. "

~~~~~~~~~~

"Were you sexting just now?" Myron asks while you sitting down looking through tinder.

"Let me have my process." You say.

"Your process is sexting?"

"You're the one who said Sam would go through a slut phase. I thought you were crazy, but then I thought about it more, and he's gonna be a chick magnet. he already is And the worst part is, he's gonna have no idea how to handle it because he's going to be too sad. He hasn't dated to many people in his life. He's gonna be lonely and vulnerable. He already lost his fiance."

"Classic rookie mistake. " Myron states.

"What are you talking about? "

"Thinking you can do something to lessen the loss. There's a word for what you're doing. It's a technical term. You want to know it?"

You: "No, thanks."

"Anticipatory grieving.' Trying to cope with the loss before it happens. So, Meryl over there writes a birthday card to her husband for every year she's gonna be gone, and Jim... makes a video montage of himself as Santa for all the Christmases he's gonna miss with his kids. It doesn't change anything. Look, what do I know? My advice? You're hooking him up, concentrate on a booty. Yours, you know, it's... it's flat."

You laugh "My booty is not flat."

"You have a terrible ass. "

"Fuck you."

"Here, give me that. Oh, you got a match. Sexypants89."

"Okay, let me see that."

~~~~~~~~~~

You started interviewing girls that Sam got a match on from tinder at a coffee shop.

To be continued.

Tips to Look Amazing Every Day for Busy Moms

There is just one thing every mom has in common which has little or no time for themselves.

Gone are the times where you'll spend hours preparing for an evening out. Currently, getting quite a quarter-hour within the morning to urge ready would be a dream.

So what are you able to neutralize those precious “spare” 5 minutes? What beauty secrets are you able to squeeze in?

A retinol peel While I rarely attend get something like this done, I'm really glad I did this one. Because your skin is super sensitive afterward to the sun, I don’t recommend doing it in summer. I did a retinol peel 3 years after my first was born. My skin was so dull, splotchy, and beginning to show wrinkles.

It was sort of a push button. It took off years. If I had known such a fast fix existed, then I might have done it such a lot sooner. I like this one by Skinceuticals.

Lotion after every shower, but within the shower Lotion “hydrates” your skin by sealing in moisture. There must be moisture to lock it into your skin. After a shower, the high humidity plus the water on your skin are often sealed onto your skin employing a lotion.

Simply pat your skin dry then lather on a lotion. I love CeraVe moisturizing cream. My skin is super sensitive. I even have never reacted thereto, plus it's also pretty inexpensive. regardless of what you choose you would like to seem for 2 key ingredients: Ceramides which can help restore your skin’s natural barrier and mucopolysaccharide, a molecule that holds water and thus will keep it on the skin.

Try some new accessories It always amazes me what proportion a belt or scarf can dress up an easy outfit. Another thing that I even have been performing on is to only dress up my look by using jewelry. it's such a simple thanks to looking put together. This helps me feel better about myself albeit I don’t even leave the house that day.

I like to wear jewelry, but I don’t have the time to select stuff out. Also, picking out gifts isn’t my hubby’s forte. However, he can certainly check-in for a subscription box on my behalf. one among the newer gifts he got me was a subscription box for jewelry. I like it. I mean, who doesn’t love getting mail?

My favorite boxes that I even have found thus far are:

Penny and Grace: My favorite jewelry subscription box.  It adds only enough to form me feel more put together. I also just love a number of their designs. Cate + Chloe VIP: I found this box to be more dressy but classic jewelry. Buddhi Box Jewelry: they need right down to earth styles. While this isn’t my everyday style, I'm considering an earth-goddess at the bottom and love tons of their pieces. Upgrade your haircut The absolute best thanks to finding a hairdresser you'll like is to seek out someone with hair you wish. Now, just ask them who their hairdresser is. you'll even invite their name if you are feeling brave enough and at your appointment with the hairdresser, explain that you simply like how they did that person’s hair.

A haircut can cause you to look 10 years younger or older. It can be an enormous difference. Another thing I noticed is that I looked my best when my hair would “style” itself. In other words, I needed a hair cut that might look good with minimal effort since I had no time for it.

Before getting an honest haircut, I might wear my hair up a day. Now, I spend about 2 minutes thereon within the morning and that I can wear it down all day.

Sunblock every morning and grab that baseball hat and sunglasses I chase my kids around applying sunblock and putting hats and sunglasses on them. While they hate it, someday they're going to thank me because protecting your skin from the sun is that the best thanks to preventing aging. Dermatologists say 80-90% of skin aging is caused by the sun.

And this is often applicable to you too! believe it, if you started protecting your skin daily for a year from the sun, which may be 300 and sixty-five days less damage now next year. While it won’t cause you to seem better instantly, you'll thank yourself that you simply started. And now they're saying that by protecting your skin, your skin can spend its resources fixing the damage already done instead of trying to affect new damage.

Have someone clothing buy you. After the ever-changing size phase of pregnancy and postpartum, I even have almost neglected my closet and it shows. Changing that was one of the foremost amazing feelings ever. I felt like me again.

Nowadays there seems to be a subscription box for everything but seriously take advantage of these. nobody needs online shopping quite moms. I even have numerous items on amazon subscription.

I also really miss clothing shopping and buying clothing online just isn’t the same. Signing up for style boxes on the other hand I found to be really fun thanks to the surprise element. I even have found that those I even have tried nailed it on my style.

The ones I actually like are Stitch Fix: I even have used Stitch Fix on and off for several years. I like how you'll just order it whenever. I always link to a Pinterest fashion board and haven't been disappointed with what I buy. The styling fee of $20 isn’t bad and should be applied to your purchase.

Trunk Club: this is often the subscription box of Nordstrom. If you've got a Nordstrom Mastercard, there's no styling fee. If you don’t have one, it's a $25 fee, which is credited toward your purchase. you furthermore may get to ascertain the “trunk” before it ships and swap out what you don’t love. I live nowhere near a Nordstrom, so this is often absolutely amazing to me. I also love their stylists.

If you're still having kids, then you've got just found the simplest thanks to grabbing maternity and postpartum outfits. Most style boxes have great options, just make certain to inform them within the message that you simply want items specific for pregnancy or postpartum.

Invest during a great undereye concealer I recently went and got my makeup done. My biggest takeaway was that I wasn’t using the right makeup for my age. Your skin changes over time then should your makeup.

For instance, as you age, your skin becomes less hydrated so you ought to use a creamy foundation. Additionally, you ought to only use foundations with yellow undertones. This looks best on everyone regardless of what your skin tone is.

And you ought to also use a creamy hydrating undereye concealer. I used to be shocked at what proportion this helped my appearance. The one that I even have converted to is Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Concealer. I also now use their foundation.

Start using mucopolysaccharide Your absolute must to having great skin.  it'll uptake such a lot of water and keep it at your skin’s surface. I invested in an eye fixed cream and cold cream. I couldn’t believe the difference it made in my lines the minute I put this on.

Also, my skin has never felt so wonderful. I'm so addicted. My favorite brand is that the Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel. it's expensive but makes an enormous difference in my skin. Another awesome brand that I even have tried and adore is also the standard. Their products are a fraction of the value. Don’t be discouraged by the very fact that the mucopolysaccharide is merely 2% during this product. a better concentration doesn't mean it works better, consistent with dermatologists.

DIY Dip Nails I just don’t feel good without my nails did. I do them just because I like having my nails done. However, I just didn’t have the time to urge them through with little reception. We were also trying to save lots of money. So I decided to offer DIY a try.

I grabbed the Revel Starter Kit, nail enamel remover clips, and acetone off amazon. Now, remember, there's a learning curve. the primary manicure I gave myself was pretty sad. However, I learned tons throughout 10 nails. My second manicure was far better . I'm now a professional and absolutely cannot see why I might return to paying such a lot more once I can roll in the hay at a fraction of the value. the training curve was well worthwhile.

In addition to reading all the directions and tips that accompany the set, watch many youtube videos.

Find ways to lower stress I’m sure we all skills important this is often to feeling healthy and searching amazingly. But really what percentage folks truly prioritize this?

Pick one or two belongings you can do this will hamper on stress or allow you to urge more sleep. an honest initiative is to take a seat down for a moment and make an inventory of everything that stresses you out. Now, pick a couple of that you simply want to figure on or think you'll improve. Now, attempt to come up with strategies to enhance them.

For me, these were the items that I added to decrease stress.

Using meal-prep that might allow me to prep 2 weeks of dinners in about 2 hours. This far and away was the most important de-stressor on behalf of me. It saves me on the average over an hour a day at dinnertime that I usually spent prepping and cleaning up. Changing up kids’ schedules so I used to be ready to get a minimum of two or three 15-minute kid-free breaks within the day. If you've got little or no ones and naps don’t line up, then getting a moment to breathe is tough. I started changing up when quiet times happened and independent play so that I might get breaks. Going on a 10-minute run at the top of the day. Exercise just doesn’t fit into my schedule immediately. However, I do know it does wonders for my sanity and skin. Therefore, I do mini workouts like a fast run down the block. Making and sticking to a cleaning schedule. I become overwhelmed once I know the house needs a deep clean. By tackling a special big chore a day, I feel we don’t reach that state. Trading babysitting with a lover to urge errands avoided kids. I also use this point to urge a haircut and grab a coffee. Even once I am on babysitting duty, it’s still an excellent deal because to a particular degree, kids entertain one another. Since subscription boxes seem to be a topic of this article… another subscription box my husband got me was a plant subscription box, which is so perfect on behalf  But the important benefit was what proportion it changed my SAD (seasonally affected depression) within the winter. And get more sleep The last item I would like to try after my kids finally attend bed is to attend bed myself. But honestly, I want more sleep. I mean, what mom doesn’t? Sleep not only can ruin your mood all day but can also wreck your skin. at some point a weekend, my husband wakes up with the youngsters and that I sleep in as long as I can. I then trade him for the opposite morning.

This extra sleep can reset me for the subsequent week and permit me to start outperforming on my sleep. If you'll attend bed earlier, awesome. If you'll find how to require a 20-minute nap, then roll in the hay. A 20-minute nap is simpler than coffee so once I can, I always take the nap.

Pursue yourself Today It is hard to seek out the time to prioritize you but it's important. To be an honest mom, you would like to feel good. you would like to possess self-confidence. you would like to be healthy. Find ways to feature self-care into your every day and you'll be surprised at what proportion of a difference it'll make.

The first day I took a ten-minute run after not understanding for over a year, I felt sort of a new person. I also can’t believe what proportion of a change there was from something so simple as swapping out my makeup or skin products.

Lastly, treat yourself to something like a spa day if you'll swing it. If not, grab a fun subscription box of either clothing or jewelry to upgrade your wardrobe. If you're like me and love having your nails done, then try a DIY solution. they need to be improved immensely within a previous couple of years.

050: Supplements and the importance of Omega-3s with Julie Sawaya and Ryan Woodbury

Today, I’m so excited to be chatting with the founders of Needed all about supplements, Omega-3s and tips for getting maximum nutrition from our diets.

Here’s what we talk about:

Journey of starting Needed through their own nutrient testing forays

Key nutrients (Omega-3 and choline) that OBGYNs overlook for before, during, and after pregnancy

Why women aren’t getting enough through diet alone

How deficiency creates long-lasting impact for women’s health long after baby arrives

How to optimally nourish (setting women up for ideal pregnancy and postpartum recovery) vs meeting RDAs (minimum nutrient requirements to avoid birth defects and diseases)

What to look for in supplement

Favorite healthy meals

and so.much.more!

Download the full transcript here.

Here’s a little bit about Ryan and Julie:

Ryan Woodbury and Julie Sawaya, co-founders and co-CEOs of Needed, met as next neighbors at Stanford’s graduate business school. They became fast friends and quickly realized their shared passion for nutrition. During this time, the two realized through nutritional testing that they were both hugely deficient in Omega-3, a critical nutrient for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. They dug into the research and learned they were far from alone—up to 95% of women are deficient in Omega-3, and yet, it’s missing from most prenatal vitamins. Ryan and Julie started Needed to meet their own nutritional needs and that of every mama-to-be.

Needed’s mission is to empower women to experience optimal nourishment through better identification of their nutrition needs, supplements that truly work in meeting those needs, and a supportive community of like-minded mamas and trusted health practitioners. Needed’s first products include an Omega-3 supplement that’s optimally tailored for a mama-to-be, and an at-home Omega-3 nutrient testing kit that helps women better understand their levels.

Ryan’s Nutrition Journey:

My interest in nutrition and health grew out of my interest in the environment. As a young girl in California, I started volunteering at a local aquarium, leading educational tours to teach kids about marine science and environmental advocacy. It was clear to me, even then, that our health as humans is directly connected to the health of our environment. Advocating for broader awareness of the human and environmental health connection has carried through much of my life. I believe fundamentally that nourishing mamas will directly support nourished communities and a nourished planet.

Julie’s Nutrition Journey: 

I discovered my passion for nutrition around my family dinner table. My dad (an MD) was diagnosed with diabetes when I was just 5 years old. His illness has had a profound effect on me, leading me to research, experience firsthand, and advocate for the connection between our health, our families and communities, and how we choose to nourish ourselves. My passion for nutrition only grew as I began my journey to motherhood, as the quality of our nourishment as mamas-to-be and new mamas quite literally impacts the health and wellbeing of our entire family.

You can connect with them on Instagram here and check out their site here.

If you haven’t tested your Omega-3 levels, it’s really important and also really easy to do. Go to thisisneeded.com, and visit the nutrient testing page. You’ll get your test for free when you start a subscription to Needed’s Omega-3 powdered supplement. Use code OMEGATESTING at checkout. You can also save 15% off your first month of Needed’s Omega-3 supplement by using code FITNESSISTA. I have my test kit here and I’m so interested to learn more about my personal levels. I’ve used their Omega-3 supplement many times and am excited to use it as part of my regular routine, especially after listening to this episode.
