In September of 2020, I decided I would attempt my first Whole30. I felt that over the summer there was an increased consumption of junk food, BBQs and booze and I really wanted a good “reset” so to speak. I had seen in people’s IG bio’s they had done a Whole30 three or four times, [...]

Working From Home Tips
There's no question that the working world has changed since COVID-19. With many employees working from home on a full-time basis and companies realizing how effectively "business as usual" is continuing while their employees are at home, the definition of "the office" has taken on a new meaning. I know I've heard a lot of [...]
5 Ways to Get Through Social Distancing
Well it’s been over two weeks since my last blog post… the world we are living in right now is bizarre and scary and uncertain. I said to my husband two weeks ago that it feels like we’re living in a movie; this all seemed so surreal at first…. And now, it seems like the [...]
How to Become a Morning Person

Anatomy of a Buddha Bowl
Buddha bowls, macro bowls, hippie bowls, whatever you want to call them, I love them! But what exactly are they? Buddha bowls are dishes (yes, served in bowls) that are made up of grains, greens, veggies, protein and fats. They may or may not have started out as a vegan dish, but it's not uncommon [...]
Smoothie Making 101
I have a smoothie everyday for breakfast. It's a great way to get in some powerful nutrients first thing in the morning. It also takes no time at all to throw stuff into a blender 😛 There's a ton of delicious smoothie recipes online you can try, but it's really easy to make your own. [...]
