Good morning! I started yesterday morning with a glass of bright green juice. In the mix: kale, spinach, apple, celery, cabbage, and carrot. Deeeelicious! Since we’re on the topic of juice, I thought I’d mention Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. A bunch of you guys left comments about it yesterday and it was one of [...]

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you’ve probably seen quite a few photos of green juice and fresh produce lately. Well, it’s because I’ve recently got into juicing! Juicing has tons of health benefits and, of course, fresh juice tastes delicious, but what sparked my interest was reading that it may help relieve [...]

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Here’s my second post for GNC’s “Total Lean Challenge.” For this one, I was asked to share my favorite kind of cardio exercise, which, I’m sure you already know, is CrossFit.

It was tasty, nutritious, and super-duper satisfying—the combination of ingredients keep me full for [...]

Good morning! I stumbled upon this “Healthy Living Survey” on Lindsay’s blog the other day. She published it back in July, but it looked like a fun post for Hump Day, so here we go! 1.

Hi, friends! Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start and you’re not thinking about joining P.A.M.C. (Pugs Against Mondays Campaign). Murphy was named one of the 10 Pugs To Watch In 2013 because of his involvement with the organization. Breakfast I started my day with a two-ingredient pancake with blueberries [...]

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the Wellness by the Water Retreat, which is a one-day event with fitness, yoga, nutrition, spa services, and wellness. The organizers, Kendall Covitz and Celeste Platt, actually invited me last year, but I wasn’t able to attend, so I’m so glad Kendall reached out again. The retreat was [...]
