April Update
Hello everyone! I’ve missed you all so much this month! I haven’t been able to connect with you as much as I’d like. But if I were to have any reason, I hope a vacation in Mexico is good enough! Vacations are funny. For me, they take a decent amount of preparation beforehand, and then…

Breakfast Rice Pudding
I’m coming up on my second year of going dairy-free. It’s been one of the best changes I’ve made for myself and my health – and even though I was forced into it via adult onset allergies, I’m glad it happened. Going without has pushed me to get creative in the kitchen, making and creating…

Anxiety: How Long Does it take to Heal?
Confession: I read a lot of other people’s blog posts about anxiety. To be honest, even though most are complete strangers, it makes me feel connected in a way I can’t find elsewhere.

#betterskin Challenge – Week 3
Hey Strong Babes! Thanks for joining me for another #betterskin Challenge update! Who ever thought that making small changes could be so tough? These past couple of weeks have helped me realize that new habits are hard to make – I feel like I underestimated what an undertaking this would be. To recap, I’ve worked…

What to do when Opportunity Knocks
I had an opportunity come my way recently that was practically begging to be taken. But even knowing this, I found my reaction to it somewhat intriguing. You see, instead of being excited, or even motivated, I was quite the opposite. I was terrified. Terrified that I wouldn’t be good enough for it. Even more…

As if all along, you never knew these small things would matter, and all of a sudden the universe comes together to show you: they really do. That’s been…
