Week In Review – Looking Forward to Spring

Earlier this month I had intention of writing a post on the 10 best pieces I added to my wardrobe in 2014. Pieces that I found myself going back to time and time again, therefore making their cost per wear an excellent return on my investment. I try to reflect on lots of things I […]

How I Ditched the CoffeeMate, My Keurig and Caffeine

The question I get asked most often, when readers inquire about the change in my eating habits, is how I was able to get rid of CoffeeMate. From the way folks react with shock horror, when you suggest eliminating the nondairy creamer from their daily routine, you’d think they were more attached to the ritual […]

Caramelized Onion & Chicken Gluten Free Flatbread Pizza

A couple of months after I completed my first 21 day cleanse, my friend Mary decided to give it a try. She had been suspecting she had some food sensitivities, so she figured it would be a good way to rule anything out. Lucky for us, a couple of weeks in, she got a bit […]

Daily Style – Jump for Joy

Jumpsuit – Splendid; Flats – Shoemint, Clutch – St. John, old; Bracelets – Madewell and Alex & Ani Women typically have a love/hate relationship with jumpsuits, as in we love the concept and how they look on the hanger, but don’t usually love how they look on our bodies. Or how they feel for that […]

21 Day Cleanse Week 3 Meal Plan & Shopping List

As we head into the final week of the cleanse, I want to stress how much this week should be about relishing in how far you’ve come, and NOT GIVING UP! For many of us, we may be tired from all the cooking thus far, which is why I really debated making a meal plan […]

Pesto & Chicken Zucchini Rolls

They say necessity is the mother of invention, and 9 times out of 10, I would say that is definitely how I roll in the kitchen. Mondays are when my parents come over to help out with the kids and spend some time with them, and most of the time, my mom brings over a […]
