Hey Y’all, I’m Laura.

A regular millennial know it all, here to provide my perspective on money, health, and my experience as a first-time mom.

This blog came to fruition for a multitude of reasons. First, I have been dealing with vaginal health issues for years, basically, as long as I can remember. Every time new symptoms arose, I would find myself on google and Pinterest researching remedies for relief. Or I would be told by my doctor that I needed to have another procedure or surgery, and again I would find myself online looking for a first-hand experience. I decided that it was time I document my experiences to help other women out there with vaginal health concerns and share what’s worked for me. From first-hand knowledge of how I got to my current diagnosis of interstitial cystitis to the procedures, I’ve gone through. From products, I use in a flare to combat symptoms to advice on finding a doctor that will work for you. I plan on sharing it all.

In 2023 I became a mother and I wanted to document my trials and tribulations through navigating parenthood in this world of information overload. Not to mention, during my pregnancy I suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum. (Go figure.)

If you are looking for a millennial voice on all things money, health, and motherhood. You are in the right place.
