September Update

Why does the rain always make me feel so tapped into my emotions? At least it makes for a great cozy moment, to cuddle up with a warm-cuppa-something and tell you about my September. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that I was all-in to the Strong Babe Summer Guide for September.…
Chickpea Vegetable Curry

Everyone has their comfort food – that dish they turn to when they’re feeling especially worn down or in need of something cozy. That dish, for me, has not changed for the past 4 years; every time I’m in that mood, I always make my Chickpea Vegetable Curry. Curry isn’t one of those dishes I…

Best Supplements of 2019

When I first started learning about supplements, I felt so lost! I didn’t even know where to begin. I started with protein bars from Popeye’s Supplements, and as fate would have it, I ended up working at that exact store for over 4 years. Now obviously in that time, I was bound to learn a…
May Update – The Itch for Adventure

Cycles in your life will repeat until the lesson you are supposed to learn from the situation is fully understood. I can appreciate that so much in my life right now. So many feelings and events of my past are popping up in new and exciting ways. For instance, I go through a constant cycle…
