4.1 Hot Girl Summer, anyone?
I think it’s time for some classic Emma June wisdom. The weather is heating up, right? We’re starting to sweat? We’re starting to realize that wearing sunscreen is a necessity? That means it’s nearly time for… Summer attire. Swimsuits. Shorts. Tank tops. The works. I feel like I talk about the whole swimsuit-season thing a…

3.18 Let’s Get Physical
Let’s break Emma June into the parts of her whole. Ew. Let me try again. Let’s look at the different parts of Emma. Hmm, nope. That’s not it either. “Head, shoulders, knees and toes?” Okay, I give up. What I’m trying (and failing) to say in a normal, not-weird kind of way is that body…

3.16 Hard to Swallow
It’s been a hell of a week. In case you didn’t know, this weekend marks the end of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. This is a topic that I’ve toyed with touching on for months and months now, but I’ve never been able to put my thoughts into words. But, if there’s ever a time…

3.12 THAT’S a Stretch
I got to spend a little time with my family during Christmas, and I had an interesting exchange with my little brother. He goes to a military academy, and he’s working on getting…what’s the word he used? Oh, right: “swole.” He’s trying to pack on some muscles, and one day when he was prancing around…

3.11 Box Checks, Faux-Concern and (gasp!) Normal Bodies
But I won’t let them break me down to dust / I know that there’s a place for us / for we are glorious. Keala Settle, “The Greatest Showman” (an awesome movie, do yourself a favor and watch it) Imagine that you’re me. You’re scrolling through Instagram on your lunch break. You follow the tag…

3.7 “Cooking Like a Jackass,” Episode 1
I am bringing all of you my FIRST EVER “Cooking Like a Jackass” blog post. I am not a chef. I do a lot of making-it-up-as-I-go in my kitchen, which always makes for an interesting result. Since I have been living on my own and so RUDELY required to make my own food, I am…

3.5 Welcome Back to my Hill
“Bless your beautiful hide.” Howard Keel, 7 Brides for 7 Brothers It’s been just over a year since I started this blog. It’s not perfect; I don’t post as regularly (or consistently) as I should, I don’t have a specific focus and I sometimes find myself with not much to say. (Well, that’s not entirely…

3.3 A Well-Documented Quarantine Situation
I haven’t been as inspired lately (as you can obviously tell, based on my over-a-month-long radio silence), but we’re all in a weird place, right? It feels like one minute, we were all out and about, kibitzing with our friends over coffee, meeting up with our sub-par Tinder dates for sushi with a side of…

3.2 Keep It Together, Emma June
I wanted to write a post that would be silly and make you giggle and maybe forget about the whole COVID-19 situation for a couple of minutes. That’s sort of my niche, and writing about serious stuff doesn’t always come naturally to me, but I have been thinking for a while about what I could…

1.12 Even Though I STILL Don’t Have Spotify Premium, You Should Take My Musical Advice. Really.
I can’t be the only person here who has to find release in the little things now and then. Sometimes, it’s working out. I personally think a “runner’s high” is a myth, but I do enjoy turning on Game of Thrones while I’m on the Elliptical and blocking everything out for a half hour or…
