This morning I made the mistake of putting a teaspoon of coconut butter on my protein pancakes. Why was this a mistake? It was so freaking good, I wanted to use it as frosting all over them! I’ve heard coconut butter aids in weight loss so maybe I should… Whole Foods invited me to a [...]
Editor note that you already know but the FTC makes me include here: I am an official brand advocate for Bel Brands in 2013. While I receive compensation for participation as a brand advocate, opinions are my own. Things I’m obsessed with lately: Paleo Buffalo Chicken Meatloafs from PaleOMG. So simple and easy. I do [...]
So I’ve begun the photoshoot prep for my book next week! Last Thursday, my friend Cate asked me and Rebecca to grab coffee after a spin class. She suggested the 6:30 am on Wednesday to which Rebecca agreed. I am not an early riser but knew I’d be able to do it with the added motivation [...]
Last week, I took a trip down to NYC for my network, Deca aka Kin Community’s UpFront. I was asked to speak on a panel that included other YouTubers to potential advertisers. I got down on Thursday night and stayed with Theodora. I let myself in and was greeted by a doggie belly that [...]
Yep, you read the title right. Sweat, not sweets. Saturday was the first of two baby showers for my sister. Since her husband comes from a large Southie family, we split it up into two so that there were not over 70 guests and she could enjoy talking to everyone. There were over 50 guests [...]

On Christmas, I gifted myself a day off from working out. To be honest, I intended to go for a run to get out of the house but it was slightly raining and just above freezing temperature outside. I did not bring my running rain jacket and I did not want to do a strength [...]
This morning I got the best Holiday surprise package from Kitsch Ties. I’m obsessed with these hair ties because they look cute on your wrist and don’t put kinks in my hair when I put it up. It doesn’t hurt that they are adorable and can match your outfits. Perfect stocking stuffers in my opinion! [...]
Earlier this week, I made a healthy “risotto” recipe using quinoa and roasted butternut squash. I invited my dad and sister to come over for dinner and was excited to make something using the ingredients I bought at the local Farmers Market. Naturally, I gravitate towards the foods I know I love, Brussels sprouts and [...]
Since I am a nomad without a kitchen, most of my meals have been premade. I tried Hail Caesar Shaker from Whole Foods yesterday for lunch. This was my second shaker from the “Health Starts Here” line. At a conference this past fall, I found out that the Whole Foods diet is anti olive oil [...]
