Are you a fan of YouTube favorites videos? A favorites video is a showcase of products, typically beauty or fashion related, that YouTubers discovered, fell in love with or have been using regularly that month.

Ever since I discovered Life Alive, I have made my salads a bit different. Since then, I’ve become obsessed with including avocado, seeds, sprouts, hummus and beets in everything.

A 2012 Kona Ironman recap post will be coming tomorrow! I did however want to share some of my healthy travel activities from the week.

From general health and wellness, to sports nutrition [...]
I recently had blood work done and it came back that I am in the top 1% of healthiest people in their database but I also have high cholesterol. “How can this be?” I wondered when I saw my results. I had to wait only a few hours before I was able to talk to [...]
I’m going to let you all in on a little secret I have. It’s rather personal but I like sharing, isn’t that why I’m a blogger? I battle irrational decision making when I have PMS. I tend to make life altering decisions the week before my period. This causes more than just being called a [...]
Buying groceries is stressful. Even the grocery lists provided in magazines for weekly meal planning seem exhausting. It would cost a fortune to follow to those things to a T.
