A someone who is always trying to make things “healthier” – I am always on the lookout for new products to try and recipes to master. I love trying to lighten up old favorites just as much as the next basic bitch. If you are or were once like me, I’m here to tell you […]

After two heart breaking losses in the Super Bowl, the Patriots finally came back to reclaim the title as the best team in the NFL. If I didn’t live in Boston, I probably wouldn’t mention the Super Bowl but I do… so I am as it pertains to food and fitness. Holy shit, that game […]

Things I miss about college include living next door to my girlfriends, swapping clothes with my girlfriends, having the energy to go out hard 3-4 nights a week and having absolutely nothing to do during vacation breaks.  I am not complaining but when you work for yourself you do not have time off, especially paid […]

Am I the only one that hates the feeling of chia seeds grinding in between your teeth? I like the taste of chia pudding, but the texture not so much. It is a perfect sweet treat at the end of a clean eating day. Naturally gluten free and vegan, I was curious what would happen […]

Last week, I uploaded the first of a three part series featuring dorm room recipes that are affordable, healthy and easy to make. The first recipe is a lunch or dinner meal idea using a sweet potato. It can easily be made […]

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 […]
