Today\u00a0I’m on my way up to New Hampshire to spend\u00a03 blissful days with\u00a0my best friends. The face\u00a0masks are packed. The massages are booked. The food has\u00a0been Yelp’ed. All\u00a0the\u00a0romantic comedies have been considered. All evidence of fun and fall will be on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Migraine update: Some days are better than others, but on the whole these migraines are certainly lightening up. The past two weeks I’ve experienced several full days without even a mild headache, and on those days, I find myself constantly saying to Daniel, “Can you believe it?” as though it’s a small miracle we’re witnessing. I’m grateful but\u00a0nervous, too, that maybe it’ll go back to what it was. Here are the things I’m doing to fix my broken head:<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0Reduce Screen Time. 2. One Coffee a Day 3.\u00a0More Magnesium 4. Bye Bye Sugar and Gluten\u2014For\u00a0Now Thanks for hanging in there with me and for all of your advice, personal stories, and loving messages. They mean the world to me, seriously. xoxo<\/p>\n Fancy Butter Taste Test<\/a>\u00a0| Lucky Peach<\/p>\n 8 Women With Similar Salaries Spend Them VERY Differently<\/a>\u00a0| Refinery29<\/p>\n Thorough Review:\u00a0Vegan Vanilla Protein Powders<\/a>\u00a0| Minimalist Baker<\/p>\n Ina Garten’s 5 Tips for a Better Date Night<\/a>\u00a0| The Kitchn<\/p>\n How to Give Yourself a Breast Exam<\/a> | Buzzfeed<\/p>\n Daily Mindful Check-In Practice<\/a>\u00a0| Mindful.org<\/p>\n Correct way to pack and ship those holiday treats<\/a>\u00a0| Cooks Illustrated<\/p>\n
\nI’m on my computer constantly. Everything I do is online\u2014from work to leisure\u2014so this is especially hard.\u00a0But I’m beginning to notice a connection between how long I stare at that screen (or my phone) and my headaches.\u00a0Knowing this is making me more purposeful while working. I either try to get my work done and get off the computer (which is admittedly not always possible) or I try to add in frequent breaks.<\/p>\n
\nI know, I know\u2014how obvious. Coffee\/caffeine is often\u00a0the first place to start when trying to troubleshoot a headache. But I’d tried to cut out coffee and caffeine before\u2014earlier this year, in fact\u2014and when nothing changed, I assumed coffee wasn’t the problem. A week ago, I tried again, limiting my coffee consumption to one per day, and so far so good.<\/p>\n
\nI’ve been taking supplements and it could be working.<\/p>\n
\nAdmittedly, I already eat very little sugar and very few grains since Daniel eats low carb (and you know I eat mostly wholesome<\/a>). I\u00a0don’t intend to eliminate both forever, but I was\/am desperate. When I decided to take this step two weeks ago, I would have done just about anything\u00a0to get rid of the pain. I’m really hoping this one doesn’t make a difference.<\/p>\nHere are the links that caught my eye this week:<\/h3>\n
