    My Nexplanon Experience: Why I Removed it After Four Months

    June 28, 2020 /

    Warning: slightly graphic image of a wound, under a bandaid, but still a wound I got the Nexplanon Implant and had it removed four months later Due to my inability to access birth control as it was prescribed to me (prescribed for continuous use for mood and migraines) at any pharmacy where I previously lived (rural, isolated town). I opted to try out the Nexplanon hormonal birth control implant as a last ditch effort to get the hormones my body needed. I had the Nexplanon implanted October 18, 2019 and I had it removed January 30, 2020: just a little over four months. I did this for a variety of…

    A Guide to Complaining When You and Everyone You Know is Emotionally Exhausted

    April 22, 2020 /

    I don’t know about you, but I am emotionally exhausted. The global covid-19 pandemic is emotionally exhausting as much as it is scary. And if you are trying to be responsible and stay informed, the news updates everyday can be overwhelming. I have decided to go about my days expecting that everyone I know feels exactly the way I do (regardless of if they do or not). So what do you want to do when you are emotionally exhausted, lonely, and scared? You might want to scream and never stop screaming. You might want to escape to the nearest forested area, lie down, let the moss claim you, and become…

    I Moved to Increase My Access to Opportunities.

    January 8, 2020 /

    It’s been a minute since I last wrote or published anything for Brette’s Bliss because I’ve been moving (and a few other factors). I decided to move for a variety of reasons, primarily for more career opportunities. As I wrote in my “I wasn’t prepared for life after college” post, finding a job after graduation has been incredibly difficult and I know I could attribute that to a lack of industry in the location I was living in and the distance between me and the jobs I was applying for. I haven’t had a job interview since September 2019! To say that sucks is an embarrassing understatement. Now while moving…

    Why I Have a Problem With Sarcasm

    August 26, 2019 /

    Sarcasm can be mean, it can be unhealthy, and can hurt relationships; yet so many people treat sarcasm as a personality trait synonymous with cool, clever, and witty. I have a problem with sarcasm for a variety of reasons; primarily because a lot of people use sarcasm inappropriately and cause a lot of damage in the process. My main reasons for hating sarcasm are these: people use it as a weapon and an excuse for bad social skills, it’s bad communication, it’s an unhealthy coping mechanism, and people treat it like a personality trait. Sarcasm as a Weapon The definition of sarcasm from Merriam-Webster is: a sharp and often satirical…

    Make it a Habit: How To Consume Media Critically and Carefully

    July 22, 2019 /

    As we get closer to the 2020 election and potential presidential candidates are out campaigning, we are sure to start hearing conflicting stories, dissenting opinions, and mudslinging (something that has happened for hundreds of years in politics). I am someone who works in media (broadcast, and now formerly print) and consumes media, I can confidently say that how we consume media and where we get it is important to how we form opinions and arguments (which are not the same thing BTW). Something I hear all the time in class, at work, and in social settings is that the media is evil and has an agenda. While yes there is…

    I hope everyone is as excited for the new year as I am! As I promised in My Favorite Things About Fall post, I am blogging about my favorite things about winter. I love winter, it’s my favorite time of the year and there are so many reasons why. I included my top five in this list so this post didn’t become a 30 page essay on why I love winter. Without further ado, let’s get into it.

    My Thoughts on Christmas

    December 24, 2018 /

    love winter, but I've never really loved Christmas. I find christmas movies obnoxious and christmas music grating like nails on a chalkboard. I hate red and green together, and the insane consumerism surrounding at least America's Christmas is absurd.

    How I Care For My Diabetic Cat

    December 17, 2018 /

    My cat, Sylvie is sweet, does silly things, and is diabetic. Sylvie will be 11 years old in February and he's been diabetic since 2016. He is happy and healthy and I had to change my lifestyle quite a bit to accommodate his needs. Having a diabetic cat is not a death sentence, it just requires more love and care than is normally expected for a cat.

    Why I Don’t Eat Almonds or Dairy

    December 3, 2018 /

    I love food, but some foods don’t love me. I have spent most of my adult life constipated and in pain. I was in such constant pain that when I finally removed the foods in my life that were contributing to the pain, I actually began noticing when other foods upset my stomach. I know TMI, constipation, but here’s the deal; a lot of people deal with this but no one really talks about it. I definitely rely on other bloggers to help me make it through life, but when it comes to the inability to poop, I found nothing. Everyone has a supplement they say you should try. Been…
