In case you don’t know it, I’m married and my husband does not have herpes! 

This comes as a shock to a lot of people. I don’t think it’s the married part but the part that my husband doesn’t have herpes. 

Of course prior to having herpes and when we hear of people having herpes we automatically assume that anyone they sleep with will automatically get herpes. At least that was what I thought. 

But this post is not about how to prevent transmission to your partner, I have many other posts y…

You might have watched the last few videos or read a few of the blog posts as I’ve talked about the Secret Society Wellness products that were created specifically for people living with herpes outbreaks. But in case you haven’t heard of the Secret Society Wellness, let me tell you. The first product we came out with was the SPF Lifesaver Lip Balm. I can remember launching it when I was pregnant. Anyway, we got so much great feedback and everyone loved the nourishing lip balm that also has ing…

The herpes simplex virus or HSV is known to cause oral and genital herpes. However, many people have asymptomatic HSV, meaning their body has the virus but has never had a herpes outbreak.

Others may get tiny, sore, or fluid-filled blisters regularly. Blisters most typically form on their mouth, genitals, and lips, but they may also appear on the body's hands and fingers, and other regions.

So there are two types of herpes. Well actually there are way more but in this setting we really only care about two types. Herpes type 1 and herpes type 2. 

So what are the differences and why is it important that we talk about it? 

Let’s dig in. 

Herpes or Herpes Simplex Virus is a virus that is broken down into two types. Type 1 is the most common type with 2 out of 3 people globally having it and type 2 is also pretty common with 1 out of 6 people having it. 

So what is oral herpes?

Food is way more important than we think. It has to ability to heal your body or make you sick. This was something that I didn’t really realize until I was diagnosed with herpes. I mean, I always tried to eat healthy and more or less I was healthy but it wasn’t until I got herpes that I completely turned myself around and started really caring what was going in my body. 

Before we go into foods that nourish your body with a herpes diagnosis I want to preface that I’m not a doctor, nor a nutri…

This was the first product that we came out with. You guys were asking for something that was over the counter, natural and could help speed up recovery of a herpes outbreak. 

You might have watched the last few videos or read a few of the blog posts as I’ve talked about the Secret Society Wellness products that were created specifically for people living with herpes outbreaks. But in case you haven’t heard of the Secret Society Wellness, let me tell you. The first product we came out with wa…

I was stuck in the Eeyore Phase for 2 years. It was awful, painful, yet something that I needed to go through.

With all that being said, I have no desire for you to go through this PTSD for 2 years and that is why I’ve created this community, platform and all the content. 

On a serious note, if you are experiencing PTST or extreme emotions that are causing you to not participate in you daily life and have had suicidal thoughts please seek help. Here’s the suicide hotline 800-273-8255 and ple…

Whether you’re looking for a new hobby or hoping to make more time for a lifelong love, there’s nothing like self-care gifts after receiving a herpes diagnosis. A few fresh supplies or inspirational instructional sessions can spark creativity for a new hobby, which, according to the Huffington Post, can help us relax and wind down after a long day or week filled with less pleasurable pursuits. Just be sure that your home – where you spend most of your time and where you’ll likely pursue your hob…

So the person you’re into just told you that they have herpes. Now what?

Honestly, this is great news. This person really cares about you and is doing what he or she can do to try to prevent transmission. Transmissions occur less often when a disclosure takes place because the person with herpes can take precautionary methods to help avoid transmission. 

But here are 5 things you need to know about dating someone with herpes.

1. Firstly, you need to know that that person really cares about …

Posting and talking about our wellness products and so many of you DM’d or commented and said that you had never tried them or have never heard of them. So clearly I was not doing my job and was not sharing the best thing in the herpes world since sliced bread. 

So let me tell you how the Secret Society Wellness products got started. There are 2 out of 3 people living with HSV1, now not all of it is oral herpes but the majority of it is. And I realized that there is really nothing out there o…
