WHAT AM I SNACKING ON? Anyone else get extreme cases of hanger when you’re out and about? If I didn’t pack snacks with me on the reg, I would NOT be a pleasant person – haha! Getting veggies on the go can be tough, and a lot of packaged products have unnecessary ingredients or preservatives….

Garden of Life, Love of my Life
Garden of life is a brand that spans SO many categories, you’ve likely used it for something. My first experience with Garden of Life was with their takeover of the supplements/protein aisle at Whole Foods. Since then, I’ve found that products I’m absolutely obsessed with – using daily – and wanted to share those…
Wellness Regimen Q&A
A little bit ago I asked you all to send me some questions for a quick little wellness Q&A run down after going back to Green Circle Wellness (check out the full blog on that experience HERE). I’ve shared a lot about my transformation on the blog in older posts, but haven’t really done just…
Arugula Quinoa Salad
Because of our love and attachment to Harlow, Jacob and I have been dining in much more than dining out lately. After work on Friday, we don’t want to leave the house, but we still want to feel relieved from all the stress of creating our own meal with the limited groceries leftover in the…

Recently, I’ve had a serious craving for chicken salad, but not just any chicken salad. I wanted to create my own,…
Dining Out Done Right
Date night? Girls night? Celebrating a birthday or holiday? Maybe just hungry? When following a nutrition regimen and mainly cooking your own whole-food meals, it can be extremely stressful to select a restaurant that accommodates your dietary restrictions and needs, yet, appeals to others. When a friend chooses, often we find ourselves scrutinizing the menu…
Meal Prep like a Pro
Fitness buffs and foodies everywhere are meal preppin’ up a storm. It’s hard to not acknowledge the grocery hauls and process all over social media, especially on Sundays. With that said, I understand firsthand how intimidating this process can be. Some apprehensive thoughts may include: What if I’m not a cook? Isn’t it expensive? I don’t…
Fitspo Products
It’s completely normal to fall into a “rut.” Last year, this happened to me during the Cubs world series, and for many, it happens around the holidays. Transitioning into springtime, people start to create summer plans and imagine what they’ll look like come May 31. Fitsperation, or “fitspo” can come in many forms. Most think…
How to Weekend
Here’s a trick question for you: How do you enjoy the weekend without a bottomless pit of guilt? All you need is a change in perspective mixed with the art of moderation. As some others may describe it, practicing balance. Weekends are a completely blank slate, open book, for us to selfishly enjoy. The only items…
