How To Make – The Perfect Kale Salad

I had my first kale salad over a year ago, at the Veggie Grill. The thing that most surprised me about that salad, was that I actually loved it, and went on to crave it. The biggest problem with that salad is that it cost over $10 once you add some protein, and for a […]

Win A Hurom Slow Juicer/Smoothie Maker

I’m ridiculously excited to be sharing this giveaway with you guys, because I love my Hurom juicer so much.  It sounds so silly to say that products are “life changing”, so instead I’ll just say this one has had a huge impact on my journey towards feeling better.  Health can sometimes be subjective and hard […]

How To Make Quinoa Granola & Other Tips

Last week when Martha went a bit crazy and warned everyone to be wary of bloggers, and our lack of experience, I had to chuckle, after at first fuming.  She made mention that many of our recipes and such weren’t all that good, and hadn’t been tested, and even said many were copycats of recipes […]

How To Make a Teardrop Necklace & Giveaway

How To Make An Earthy Beaded Necklace

I’ve been holding onto these beads for months now, almost a year to be exact. I purchased them on this trip to the flea market when I was still pregnant with Hayden and have played around with them off and on a few times now, not quite getting the design or configuration to my liking. […]

Makeup Tips From A Pro

A few weeks ago my friend Amber came over to share some easy makeup tips with me to update my look a bit, since I haven’t changed my eyeshadow in about 5 years.  She’s been a makeup artist for years and is my go-to lately whenever I have questions about new products.  I love that […]

To the One That Makes Me Laugh

This is my husband, making fun of me and all the other geeks that take pictures of their food before eating it to post on Instagram.  He was working on perfecting his composition. Today my husband turns 38 and I’d like to take this opportunity since I have a blog, to tell him the things […]
