  • BOOK REVIEW: Superfood Juices by Julie Morris and My 3-Day Juice Detox

    Let me first say that I LOVE to eat, therefore, I do not believe in diets. In my opinion, if you lead a healthy lifestyle and take care of your body, there is no reason you need to deprive your body of food and it’s ok to indulge every now and then. I do, on the other…

    We start every morning off with a superfood smoothie – it’s a great way to sneak in a whole bunch nutrient rich foods, especially when you’ve got a toddler. Our kiddo is on a green strike – she refuses all things green, but hidden in a smoothie, she’ll suck it down! Silly girl, I hope…

  • A Personal Struggle

    I have found that the best writing comes from the heart – where true passion lives. Where compassion and emotion are found, you will also find absolute truth. People can relate more to honesty and real life than fictional fairy tales. It makes me sad that some people think that they have to struggle in…

  • The Many Benefits of Garlic

    I am obsessed with garlic, always have been. The smell, the taste, but most of all, it’s versatility. Everyone knows that garlic is used to add flavor to foods, but not everyone knows that for ages it has been used as medicine, due to its many therapeutic properties. Like most other foods, when you eat or…

  • It Just Got Easier!

    If you’ve been following my blog, you know I refer to EWG a bunch…I’m kind of obsessed. So when I heard that there was an EWG’s Skin Deep app for the phone, I immediately downloaded it. The best part is that it is FREE! For those of you who aren’t familiar with EWG it is the…
