LONDON, UK—Harriet Sugarcookie, the award-winning actress/producer, has just released episode 7 of her weekly video blog, Sugarcookie Show, exclusively at HarrietSugarcookie.com.
This week’s topics include joining the gym for her new fitness plan. “With all my traveling, laziness and love of Japanese snack box subscriptions, I do not do very well with the whole getting healthy thing,” Sugarcookie admits in the video. “I want to get to my goal body shape for my birthday, which is in nine weeks.”
She discusses dating in a highly-charged political world, which she expanded upon in a recent HarrietSugarcookie.com article, “Is it OK to Date a Trump Supporter?”
“Politics is one of those dividing subjects… It can be one of the foundations that you can build your identity on,” Sugarcookie said. “If you are with someone who has a complete opposite political viewpoint, you can be open to a lot of arguments.
“Some couples decide to never talk about it; others thrive on that sort of debate. Really, it comes down to how comfortable you are, and how comfortable you are with the relationship, and how comfortable they are. It’s really about communication.”
Sugarcookie also opens up about herpes, and the shocking number of people who have it. While she cheekily exclaims “Everyone’s got herpes!”, Sugarcookie clarifies that over 50% of adults have the infection within their bodies.
“Most people that get herpes… get it when they’re children; it can be passed from parents kissing their kids,” added Sugarcookie, with World Health Organization reports backing her claim that, including children, the global population under age 50—over 3.7 billion people—currently live with some form of the infection.
“We should all just be less judgmental and understanding that the worst that can come out of it is that you can get occasional outbreaks of cold sores on your mouth or on your genitals, which are completely treatable.”
