Blog Highlight: Margret Albaugh

I decided that I want to start doing some blog highlights that are both inside and outside of the nudist community. I will pick some that provide some great information (outside of mine expert home opinions 😊), are thought provoking, are vulnerable, or simply those that have not only talented people, but good and kind people.

For this first edition, I chose to pick the blog of Margret Albaugh. She is lives in Spokane and is a wife, mother, and award-winning photographer. She is not only talented behind the lens of her camera, but her blogs are well written, thought provoking, and at times very vulnerable. Furthermore, she is an advocate, and amazing storyteller and does a wonderful job highlighting some of the amazing women owned businesses here in Spokane Washington.

The “What If” of Nudism

“What If” Will Hold You Back in Life. Read How You can Change the Conversation

Everydaynudist.com owner, and blogger, Ryan enjoying a cup of coffee by the fireplace at Squaw Mountain Nudist Resort in Oregon

The “What If” of Nudism.

What if? Two powerful words that we constantly ask ourselves and as a result, holds us back from doing many things in life.

I wonder if you counted the below statement, how many times a day you think or say these:

But What if I fail?

I am not sure, What if I don’t get it?

We can try, but What if it doesn’t work?

I don’t know if I want to ask them, What if they say no?

Thanksgiving Blessings: Focusing on what you have

Everydaynudist owner/lead blogger Ryan and his beautiful wife Jessica celebrating their 2 year anniversary in November, 2020.

Thanksgiving blessings. This is a blog I felt like writing because, if you are like me, 2020 has left us ungrateful, or at least, distracted from life’s blessings.

Sure everyday I give some thanks for decent health, my family, a roof over my head and food to eat. The standard things most of us take for granted. However, on Thanksgiving I really sat down to reflect on all the things I am grateful to have.

Veteran’s Day Thoughts from a Nudist Veteran

Veteran’s Day

Happy Veteran’s Day to all veterans who read this, as well as happy belated birthday to our United States Marine readers. Veteran’s day means something different to each veteran and below are some of my thoughts.

As a veteran of the United States Marine Corps I never really got into Veterans Day until I became older. I still struggle at times getting a free meal or a thank you for your service. There are many reasons for this but as I grow older I become more accepting of it…and yes if you want to offer me a free meal I will surely eat it and not argue over it.

Erectile Dysfunction: Quit Hiding and Get Help

Erectile Dysfunction: Quit Hiding Get Help

Fella’s this blog is for you and ladies you can read and if need be encouraging your men to seek help. While not “nudist”, this is something can affect many areas of your life and not just your sexual relationships.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) affects about 5% of men over 40 and the numbers increase as you get older. However, if you have certain medical conditions it can occur much earlier in life.

Like me for example. I am currently 44 and was diagnosed for ED about 10 years ago due to a low back injury I received while in the Marine Corps. Now I say diagnosed, verses I got it, because I had it for probably 3-4 years before I talked to my doctor about it. For those 3-4 years I didn’t struggle with getting and erection, I struggled with keeping it.

The Various Nudist Stages You Will See

The tail of two different nudist: first time vs. experienced

The various nudist stages

This set of pictures so the tail of two worlds. Your first time nudist in front of others, and many time nudist, or if you have done it quite a few times.

It is normal to feel nervous when getting naked in front of strangers, or for some, getting naked around friends and people you know.

Hell, I have been in the nudist world for over 20 years and I still get butterflies when we roll up to a nudist event or resort. But don’t worry it usually goes away pretty quickly and the feeling switches to one of relief and feeling the stress melt.

So if you are putting off trying out a nudist event because you are scared, nervous, our couldn’t to do it, trust me when I say…it really isn’t that bad and believe it or not, no one is waiting on you to walk up and they will hold up a score sign with a number ranging from 1-10.

The various nudist stages

Here is how it will go down, or has for my hundreds of nudist beach, events, and resort attendance:

Happy Bisexual Day

Happy Bisexual Day!

Today, 23 September, is National Bisexual Awareness Day so to all my fellow bisexual’s out there I would like to say I am proud of you for being you.

Bisexual’s are often one of the misfits in the LGBT+ community. We are often labeled as “confused” or “in a phase” and somehow we are diminished or people want us to “pick a team”. To those I say, I have picked a team and it is coed. I am in the longest phase of my life which is about 20 years and can say I am proud to be who I am today…a married, nudist, bisexual, father and veteran.

Sexuality: What Does it Matter to You Anyways?

It seems like more and more the headlines on Yahoo or Google (or any other site) is calling out a person for their sexuality. Whether an actor, politician, athlete or any celebrity for that fact it is like it is some huge ordeal which clouts their ability to perform. I just saw the other day an article about a mayor of a large city that was bisexual, and his wife put it best…is sexuality and what he likes is between me and him and our household. I think this has a lot to with the media campaign to divide us which you can read here

As a bisexual male, yes I am bi, yes I like men and women, I haven’t ever found out what the big deal is. Now 20 years ago, sure it was a big deal as I was pretty young and ignorant in my thoughts. The internet was somewhat newer, and I didn’t know how to navigate around it other than my email and favorite porn sites.  However, the older I grew, the more my mind changed. My sexuality changed.

Nudist Safety Tip: Situational Awareness

Remaining aware of your surroundings can give you just enough time to react faster.

Learn nudist safety tips from Ryan, a Marine Corps veteran, self-defense expert, nudist, and founder/author of Everyday Nudist

Nudist Safety Tip: Situational Awareness

Not only am I a nudist, I also happen to be a Marine Corps veteran, Marine Corps Martial Arts/Close Combat Instructor, taught unarmed self-defense, spent over 9 years in the Anti-Terrorism community, and owned a business teaching self-defense, workplace violence and active shooter response. With all of this experience and knowledge I felt it is vital to share it in a new Nudist Safety Tip Series.

This series will be crafted to provide information that will not only help you in a nudist environment, but your everyday life (especially with the instability of many cities throughout the U.S. and across the globe). Whether in Spokane Washington or Los Angeles California, it is important to have a sold foundation of safety. I would encourage both men and women to read this, and most importantly teenagers so they can establish a solid foundation early.

Violence can occur to anyone at anytime. You are not immune, I am not immune.  Whether at a store or a nudist resort, violence can occur with little to no warning.

Confidence Issues: Men’s Edition

A good majority of the time I hear women say they are not confident enough in their bodies (weight, breast size, stretch marks, etc.) to go naked in front of other people. This is understandable and I don’t blame you, hell, society has told you and shown you this since you were a child. However, women aren’t the only ones that face this type of confidence issues…men face them as well.
