I am a review fiend. It’s a problem. Before dining at any new restaurant, I will have read every single Yelp review and scrutinized every single posted photo (hard pass on any eatery with even one review mentioning soggy fries). I will scour a minimum of 2 pages on Rotten Tomatoes before devoting even one… [Read More]
Needles in My Face
Having your face stuck with needles is actually pretty neat. Not the actual stabbing part necessarily (unless you’re into that), but seeing such a dramatic change in just a matter of minutes can be pretty freakin’ unreal. Injectables have become all the rage these days. In a 30 minute visit to the doctor’s office, you… [Read More]
Weird Boobs
Have you ever thought your boobs looked weird? I recently discovered that my left ear sticks out further than my right and I swear it took a solid two days before I stopped freaking out about it. I nearly convinced myself I was part elf. Anyway, back to the boob thing. “Normal” is such a… [Read More]
Breast Augmentation for Dummies
If you happened to find yourself sitting next to Larry on an airplane and you asked him about himself, he’d look you dead in the eye and simply respond, “I make small breasts bigger.” Facepalm.

Confessions of a Millennial
Hello. My name is Jenna and I’m a millennial. My fellow 23 to 38-year-olds, rejoice. We are singlehandedly responsible for killing everything that’s good in the world. Talk about power. My much-despised generation has been blamed for everything from the demise of department stores and chain restaurants to bar soap (huge loss, I know). We’re… [Read More]
Real Life Advice from the Plastic Surgery World
Other than learning how to deal with delusional personality types (said mostly with love), I’ve actually learned some really valuable tidbits working at a plastic surgery practice all these years. Some are surgical, some are psychological, but all are applicable in a very real-world way. Here are a few tricks of the trade: Measure twice,… [Read More]
Getting Comfortable with Being Thoroughly Uncomfortable
So. I moved to Los Angeles. I know, right? I left my perfect life in paradise…for this. For a self-proclaimed closet-hippie, it’s the last place you’d think I should be. The air is trash, the hiking is meh and the beaches are more crowded on the daily than Ala Moana on the 4th of July…. [Read More]
