Emelia Symington Fedy, author of Brazilian Waxing as Spiritual Practice, is our recommended humorous read this week. Known for her straight-up hilarity that often includes pointing out her own imperfections, Emelia dissects her own personal life lessons so that others may do the same. The entire gritty and sparkly point is to celebrate all of ourselves, especially the fucked up bits.

MISS INDEPENDENT 👯‍♀️For the first time in 30 years, I’m living on my own. My daughter Abby packed up the umbilical cord and moved to an inner-city womb with a view. With Scott’s passing, this makes me the sole occupant of our empty nest. It’s a mindfuck even when you see it coming. Thank you baby cheeses for Martini’s – both cocktail and canine.I’ve known Abby her whole life, and I’ve grown rather fond of her. We’ve been tight since she paddled her way outta my canal. As an only child, she inherited the gift of gab at conception. A communications major, she got the degree, I got an honorary doctorate. Navigating grief, healing, and a pandemic for the past three years has forever sealed our bond.Once Abby finished university, I expected a roommate on an even playing field. She preferred to stay on the teet. Picking up after her became a bone of contention, and gave new meaning to soiling the nest. Parenting an adult child is challenging when money and curfew no longer serve as leverage.It’s sad Scott’s not here to share another milestone with us. I’m often plagued with guilt over the gaps that only two parents seem to fill. Abby was ready to go, but also anxious to leave. She’s not scared to be alone, she was scared to leave me alone. However, Martini’s animal magnetism will be her strong pull home.So I find myself full of conflicting emotions since she signed her lease and collected the keys. I’m super excited for her next chapter, but feel like I’m losing a best friend. I’m secretly stoked her building only has coin laundry. As long as I’m topped up on Tide, I’ll see her every two weeks!www.sangriasisters.ca #newblogpost ... See MoreSee Less

WERE THEY REALLY THE GOOD OL’ DAYS? 😎 Nostalgia has a flair for tenderizing rough patches from our memories. Granted, my unlined face and elevated ass are fondly remembered by many, but truth be told, our glory days are NOW!1. When you’re young, a missed period sets off five alarm fire bells. Nowadays, an honorable discharge from the uterine navy is celebrated. Use the surplus savings from sanitary supplies to stock your wine cellar.2. No more Baby Duck or Mateus. No more Blow Jobs or Sex on the Beach. No more panty remover purges. Not by the hair of my (lemon) ginny gin gin.3. Having trouble getting up after a Netflix binge? Exertion farts aren’t ladylike, but handled properly, will help propel you off the couch.4. In the 80’s, Jane Fonda taught us to feel the burn. These days, my favourite pose is lying motionless in savasana. It’s no longer about tightening my ass, it’s about keeping my head out of it.5. Welcome to your tankini years. Pressure to squeeze you, me, and the double D’s into a bikini are a thing of the past, because nobody gives a fuck. Flowered swim caps are still a-ok for girls who wanna have fun.6. Over time you learn to separate who would take a bullet for you, and who you can let go. Weed out the drama queens and shit disturbers; surround yourself with women who have your back.7. As we age and collagen decreases, our skin gets thinner. The beauty is this mental maturity blesses us with thicker skin.8. No more perms, mullets, crimping irons, or backcombed bangs. I’m lucky I didn’t light up like a roman candle every time I lit a menthol!.www.sangriasisters.ca #newblogpost ... See MoreSee Less
