In Times of Uncertainty and Isolation

I haven’t opened my daily planner in weeks and while a part of me finds that refreshing, the other part of me is internally freaking out because, well…I’m a planner. I write things down, I love to be organized, and I like knowing what’s coming up. That’s not to say a little spontaneity isn’t appreciated,…

Monday Musings 6.18.18

Ah, the elusive Monday post. The idea sounded really good in my head and I felt pretty excited about sitting down to type out a weekly post that wasn’t necessarily related to food, recipes, products, or the usual suspects. But the execution has proven to be challenging! Whether it’s the inability to put my thoughts…

Monday Musings 3.19.18

Last week I found out that the brand Garden of Life is owned by Nestlé…and I literally felt crushed. Now, I know this is old new so some of you (it happened back in December), but I guess that’s what happens when you aren’t on social media anymore…you become the last to find out a…

REVIEW: Summer Favorites 2014

I can’t believe how fast the summer flew by and I never got a chance….ok, I honestly kept forgetting, to post some monthly favorites. I’ve been noticing some fellow bloggers posting some of their favorite things each month and thought, what a fun idea! I love seeing what other people are using or eating – sometimes…

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…
