Are you a reader? You may not know this about me, but I love to read. Love. I was the kid with the flashlight under the covers reading a book hoping to not get "caught” and told to put it away. Though, now as an adult I realize my parents probably knew about my sneaky reading habits (if you were that kid too, you know what I'm talking about...).
Read MoreAll the cool people listen to podcasts. Seriously. At least, I’m pretty sure they do. I know I do, so… yeah.
In case you missed it, I love podcasts, like- LOVE podcasts. Podcasts are awesome because you can find a podcast for just about anything. Want to learn how to start your own business? There’s a podcast for you. Want to hear the latest celebrity gossip? The news? Podcasts upon podcasts. Or maybe you’re looking for a guided meditation, a sermon, or someone to talk to you about knitting. Podcast, podcast, podcast.

I thought my original Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte (henceforth PSL… whatever, I know I’m anything but basic) was fine. It calmed the craving of the season, and cut calories and sugar in half from Starbucks. In fact, I’ve been enjoying this version for at least the last four years. And it’s still good, don’t get me wrong… but I found something else.
Read MoreI am not a fan of running in general. Honestly, I admire people who can just get out and run, but I’m not one of them. Not that I’m against all cardio, there are several activities that I actually enjoy. An hour of cycling? Sure. Kickboxing? All in. But running? Not so much. In fact I’ve always joked that if you see me running, you should probably run too…
Yet yesterday I went for a run. And not just a “run down the block” run, or even a sprint Tabata run, but a “run run”. Why? I was running for a cause.
Read MoreThe house renovation is happening and there is not a single room in the house where someone who likes things tidy and clutter-free can breathe easily. So what do I do when the stress and overwhelm of the situation hits like a ton of bricks? I create. Cook, bake, make And today, we're almost out of mayo- so it seemed like an appropriate project.
Yes, you could buy it at the store... but why?!?
The first time I made homemade mayonnaise I asked myself what I had been eating for three decades of my life. Because seriously... the homemade stuff is SO good... and to top it off, it's ridiculously easy to make.
Read MoreI don't know about you, but summer just kind of "happened" to me. There’s really no other way to describe the last 3 months other than that. I’m not entirely sure how they happened, but they did. 75% of the time I didn’t know what day it was, and imagine my shock when I realized that it’s already the end of August. AUGUST FRIENDS, August. What the what?!?
Unfortunately, when things like this just happen, that usually means schedule and routine are off. And when routines get off for whatever reason (whether it be summer, an injury, a celebration, or a sorrow) one of the easiest things to let slide is how we take care of ourselves; especially in the health and fitness category.
Read MoreThis recipe is SO EASY, it's almost like cheating. Seriously. Not only that, but you can adjust amounts and add-ins to switch it up, or to your specific taste. In our house, we like this pasta creamy, so I use a higher avocado pesto to zoodle ratio that you may like. However, that's the great thing about this "recipe," you can easily adjust this to your preferences.
All you really have to do is combine two of super easy recipes together and BAM! Dinner is served.
