What I felt I looked like… I haven’t posted anything in a couple of days, my apologies. Unfortunately I got food poisoning and couldn’t bother to be more than three feet from the bathroom. I went to Subway, of all the healthy places to stop and grab a bite – then three hours later, I became intimately acquainted with my porcelain throne. If you’ve never had the pleasure of puking…

Sometimes the junk is hard to resist… Let’s face it, we all have “cheat” days. For me, I cheat on healthy foods when I study, and boy is it a love affair! It’s so much easier for me to reach for a bottle of Mountain Dew and  a bag of Doritos + Kit Kats. The perfect study snack, right?  WRONG! I’m still learning to move away from the junk food,…

  Hello, lovelies! :] I hope your weekend was amazing! Mine was a bit hectic and nothing less than tons-of-fun. <3 Hanging out with besties and eating some great food? Life can't be much sweeter. Today I'm adding my Beef Stir Fry Recipe, get excited! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to make the Green Monster, just yet. It’ll have to wait…for now. Don’t worry though, I promise to…

I was searching for a new workout routine when I stumbled across this: Seriously? Really Reebok? Who is in charge of your advertising, because I know of a fantastic firm that would NEVER have let you all embarrass yourselves like this.  How does this appeal to the general male populous? This isn’t comical or even remotely a “only-guys-would-truly-get-this” ad. You paid good money, earned through reaching out to both males…

When I went to the grocery store yesterday I picked up a new brand of oatmeal [that looked amazingly nummy], a beautiful bunch of bananas (like that alliteration?) and a bag of quakes rice snacks. I’ve fully transitioned into the health-nut phase during this third week of my adventure. I haven’t worked out in a week, due to studies and stresses going on right now – so I’ve had to…

Alright…this looks seriously scrumptious! I’m very excited about this new blog I found and even more excited about tweaking some of these amazing recipes to be a bit healthier (most of them are pretty great already though). The easiest thing to cut out of the recipes I have found is OIL! Switching out the recommended amount for a bit of EVOO spray is a cinch! Trust me, if I can…

This topic has been on my mind quite a bit, as of late, but I simply had no clue how to address it. While on this healthy journey, I’ve begun to realize the more pivotal people in my life. These are the people who challenge me to be better, kinder, happier and who can appreciate me for everything I am – all the time. They rally around me and make…

I absolutely LURVE having my picture taken. I mean, seriously…I’m an all-out camera fiend! A few months back, my aunt came into town for business and a quick visit. It was oodles of fun and I was elated to have her here. We took bundles of pictures and when I looked back at my iPhone’s photos, I found this one. I was shocked, disgusted and so very disappointed with myself. …

I know that I have been out of touch this past week. Believe me when I say that I truly missed my writing outlet, speaking out to you and simply feeling the satiety of what these words do for me. The past few days have been a whirlwind of failure, emotions and an overall punch-in-the-gut. My last final of my undergraduate career was this past Tuesday. At least, it should…

As I sat in my apartment, studying away my life, I found myself worrying. Thinking about my grades during this summer session, the job I have waiting for me after finals end next week (the same position that I took a leave of absence from in order to finish my undergrad coursework), whether or not my parents (separated, divorced, apart and always so distant when I need a good cry)…
