Where women's health, life and logic all intersect
I still remember the first movie sex scene I ever saw was when Terri’s husband bumped and grinded his cousin-in-law up against a wall in Soul Food. This was such pivotal scene that almost got Miles from Fake After Seven killed! It also felt so “hard-core” to me back then. I mean, I was born
Hair today, gone tomorrow… or at least we would hope, in certain places. Even the three little pigs said, “Not by the hair of my chiny chin chin.” The big bad wolf could have made a different kind of “killing” if he knew how to thread. Women generally have 2 types of problems with hair.
I hated smells when I was pregnant. As I write this post, my husband is reminding of my 9-month ban of sardines anywhere in a 5 block radius of our house. He also reminded me of a time when I made him go upstairs to our mortgage paying neighbor’s apartment and tell THEM not to fry

The truth is that there are many possible causes for abdominal pain that can be caused by every pelvic organ from the bladder, to the uterus, to the ovaries, to
I hear it often in my clinic with the women who are gearing up to have a baby. They just don’t want to have a c section. For some women, it is a feeling that they have failed to have a natural childbirth. For others it is the distrust of modern physicians, and the feelings
I feel like Clarke Kent in this opening pic. On our Facebook page I recently shared a post about what percentage of women do not see their gynecologist every year. The startling number out of 1000 women was over 300. For some, the reason is misinformation about how often one should go to the gynecologist.
We haven’t featured a Logic-al Choice product in a while. It’s not for lack of retail-love, but more so because I wanted to present something more interesting and fun than the latest lipstick or handbag.
