Time to Increase Your Vitamin D

Vitamin D. Are you low and don’t know it? It may be time to increase your levels.

Winter is upon us here in the U.S. (and many parts of the world) and one of the things I think a lot of people often overlook (or at least Jess and I do) is our Vitamin D intake and levels.

Here in Spokane WA we average only 171 days of sun shine (U.S. avg is 205) and get 48” of snow (U.S. avg is 24) so there is plenty of time spend away from the natural generator…the beautiful sun.

The reason I am writing this is because Jess just got her blood test back and her D level is a way low, and it reminded me of how mine was two years ago which was even lower than hers. I figured if ours is low, yours might be as well.

Fear: The Silent Conversation

Learn How to Stop Crushing Your Dreams Today.

Don't allow fear to control your silent conversation and crush your dreams, hopes and goals.
Ryan, owner/blogger of Everydaynudist.com sporting his favorite Fuck Fear shirt! It stands for Face it, Understand it, Control it, Know it.

Fear: the silent conversation. The one that takes place without you even knowing it is occurring, and has crushed your dreams for as long as you can remember…until now.

There are three things in this world that you can guarantee: death, change, and fear.

Lets just be honest up front, fear is a motherfucker. Fear is both good (internal survival protection tool against danger) and bad (stops you from doing things you want to do). Fear can be complex, however, for this blog I want to address the simple topic of the title, Fear: The Silent Conversation.

Fear has stopped more dreams, goals and aspirations dead in its tracks, way before they go started.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

Do You Suffer from Seasonal depression, symptoms, treatments

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), the short duration depression that can ruin a holiday season.

As a person that suffers from depression and anxiety year round, I often find myself with a little extra struggle during the winter months. During these months I often feel tired, lethargic, and have a lack of motivation to do anything productive. I often blame it on the short days, and it being dark what seems like all the time. In short, it takes what little bit of energy I have to do anything extra.

Does this sound like you? Do you feel like this during the winter months? Maybe, you do good in the winter but when summer comes you get in a “slump”.

If so, you may be suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. According to the Cleveland Clinic,

Pubic Hair: To Shave or Not to Shave

The pubic hair decision that nudist face

Pubic Hair: To Shave or Not to Shave: That is the question

It always appears that pubic hair comes in and out of fashion. Looking back in time you will often see both men and women with full mounds of hair, left to be all natural. However, as time went on shaving bald, or leaving just a small patch or strip became fashionable.

Today, it seems more women are opting for the natural look, or more trimming and less bald skin, and a lot more men are opting for a smooth look. Now this isn’t a blanket statement as it is all personal preference.

Blog Highlight: Margret Albaugh

Award winning photographer, blogger, advocate

Award winning photographer and blogger Margret Albaugh

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.

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

  • The active duty veteran
  • The naked veteran
Two very different Ryan’s on Veterans Day. Ryan, on the right, pictured in uniform during his company change of command at Camp LeJeune NC, circa 2001. On the left, just one paddle that he painted and hand carved, although not fully complete in this picture and upside down.

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.

The Various Nudist Stages You Will See

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

  • First Time Nudist
  • Experienced Nudist

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.
