  • How Journals Help Those Human Trafficked- A Review

    May 21, 2019 /

    It’s 2019, so you probably think that human trafficking isn’t still a “thing”, right? Well, think again, honey. The local TV show I worked with produced several shows about the topic and how prolific the problem is here in the mid-western US. The United States of America. In the heart of the Bible Belt. “Human and sex trafficking is one of the largest illegal industries in the world, second only to drug trafficking. It generates an estimated $32 billion dollars each year, according to UNICEF. While it might seem like something that happens everywhere but home, hundreds of victims are being trafficked right here in our area.” source When The…

  • Why Do You Need to Create New Habits?

    January 10, 2019 /

    While you are busy creating goals for yourself, there is one thing you need to remember – habits are more important than goals. Why? Because it is hard to complete tasks required to achieve a goal if you have not formed a good habit first. You need habits to gain focus and momentum, improve your daily life, and get the willpower you need to accomplish more in your life. Start with One Small Habit When you create new habits, there are two important things to remember: 1. You should start with just one habit at a time. 2. You want to start small. You may have a vision of these…

  • Perimenopause Skin Issues

    perimenopause skin issues

    I didn’t have acne or skin issues when I was a teen. I didn’t have skin issues during pregnancy either. So, the last few months of looking at myself in the mirror have been a tough visual pill to swallow at 44 years old. I’m sure it’s my hormones causing my perimenopause skin issues.   Acne – Having breakouts like pimples or widespread acne is common in young adults. However, one of the signs that your hormones are out of balance is that once clear skin suddenly seems to revert to a teenager’s worst nightmare.  But that’s not the only issue that unbalanced hormones can cause for your skin!   Wrinkles…

  • Why Balanced Estrogen Levels Are Important For Women

    July 23, 2018 /

      Do you know what estrogen is? Not every woman knows what estrogen is and the role that it plays in her life. Estrogen is the hormone that ebbs and flows depending on a woman’s stage of life. It rises as a result of puberty but falls when it reaches the beginning stages of menopause. You might think that estrogen production is like a smooth road from one point of life to the next, right? Nope! Unfortunately, this hormone has been known to create a rollercoaster in a woman’s life. When it gets off balance, it can cause some upsetting side effects as well as carry significant health risks.  For…

  • Why Am I So Tired? Hormone Imbalance And Extreme Fatigue

    July 16, 2018 /

    Over the last few years, I’ve experienced extreme fatigue. It’s the kind of tired that causes me to lay down in the middle of whatever I’m doing and practically pass out. It doesn’t matter how much I want to finish what I’m doing. It doesn’t matter where I’m at or if I’m sitting or driving or at work. It wipes me out! It also seems to coincide with my monthly cycle. So, knowing I have PMDD I figured It was associated with that, and it might well be. But, I also know it could easily be related to perimenopause. Here’s what I discovered. Fatigue is a health concern in which you…

  • Am I Having Perimenopause Symptoms?

    July 9, 2018 /

    Everything seems to happen early to the women in our family. We start our menstrual cycles early and it appears that our menopause comes earlier than average too. However, now days, it seems to be confusing to figure out if you are really having Perimenopause symptoms or just other health issues. As you get older, changes begin to occur within your reproductive system – especially in what happens with your hormones. Perimenopause is a state that happens before menopause kicks in. Here are just some of the common symptoms associated with perimenopause. Skipped menstrual cycles or changes in flow. Hot flashes Night Sweats Vaginal pain during sex Weight gain in…

    Basic Bullet Journal Supplies + More

    When I started with my bullet journal, I bought a cheap dot grid notebook and a frixion erasable pen. That’s still what I use. I’ve added things along the way, but those two things are still the basis of what I use daily. The bullet journal is a completely customizable system for organizing your daily thoughts, planning out your to-do list, sorting through a variety of upcoming tasks, and setting goals for the future. It marries a traditional day planner which never worked for me, with a diary, a notebook and a sketchbook. I started a bullet journal because the day planner or traditional appointment book never fully worked for…

    would you rather?

    Which would be either Saturday, March 13, 1518 or Sunday, March 13, 2518 So, 1518 was not a good time for anyone, let alone women or mothers. People died young from disease and bad health practices. Women died in childbirth often. The church was in control in ways that probably still happen but are not quite so obviously out on the table for the whole world to see. The Protestant Reformation was 500 years ago. Here’s an interesting article about the church and someone who set out to change the status quo at the time. Now, what will the future hold? We could end up right back where we started.…

    PMDD is real jennyjournals

    It’s been a while since I’ve had a day like today. It’s hard to convey and even harder to understand since I’m on meds that are supposed to help with the symptoms. I woke up late after being up even later thanks to the kiddo not taking her sleeping pill. She has autism and requires meds to shut her brain down enough to sleep. (It took 10 years of not sleeping to figure this out). Anyway… They let me sleep in, but I was not in a good mood for it. No idea why. Actually, yes, I do think I know why. It’s hormonal. And stress. I opened up the bill…

    jennyjournals bullet journal finance tracker

    While managing finances isn’t a huge issue for me, I do need to track when and where I pay the bills and how much money I have saved up. My daughter is disabled and when her father passed away two years ago, she began receiving his social security benefits, so I have to track her money also.  You’ll see my basic bill tracker below in a photo. If you struggle to get a handle on your finances, then a bullet journal is an excellent option! This type of journaling system keeps all of your finances in one journal, where you can track everything from bill paying and money coming in,…
