You darlings may have noticed that I started eating eggs again. It started when I was traveling in Asia but the reason comes down to protein. If you’re in your 40’s like me, then I’m sure you’ve noticed that there’s a lot of sh*t that starts to happen in our 40’s.  Among those changes are […]

When it comes to menopause, the only thing that’s clear to me is the lack of information and transparency on the topic. Last week I opened up the flood gates when I posted a few menopause related polls in my IG stories. Based on your responses, it could not be more clear that what we […]

I don’t like to toot my own horn, but I feel like I may have cracked the French toast code with this one. This recipe was made totally off the cuff, but after I took a bite I knew I had something special. It was a sunny Saturday morning and I wanted a fancy decadent […]

I’m 44 and for the record I don’t consider myself old. BUT the one thing I will say is, the older I get the harder it has become to feel comfortable in bed. It’s like out of nowhere, sleeping became painful. I couldn’t roll over or get out of bed without making aching groans. What […]

After indulging over the holidays, I must say my body was in need of a detox. Once January hit I was ready to get back to clean eating and my juicing routine. I also wanted to add in an easy meal that would give me fiber and protein while being yummy and filling. A good […]

I think we can all agree that the holiday season can be a bit stressful. For me specifically, things are feeling a bit heavy. I just moved. I’m in a new phase of my life. I worry about the normal things – my business, finances, and just keeping my head on straight LOL. It feels […]

Everyone has at least one comfort food that sends the pleasure receptors in the brain through the roof.  For me I’d have to say fries are at the top of my list.  French Fried Potatoes - Pomme Frites - Chips - or just plain Fries no matter what you call them I have never met [...]

It’s black history month and just like any holiday there can be a disconnect from the true essence behind the importance.

So this […]

I have not always eaten the way that I do today.   In fact I do not and have never considered myself a vegan. I am a plant-based eater that eats vegan food. But I still love a sushi date with my girls and I especially enjoy local seafood when traveling. I don’t eat a ton […]

This blog post is sponsored by Eisai Inc. I struggled for years with excruciatingly painful periods.

It made me wonder why the […]

Sponsored by: Ritual In my pursuit for healthier living over the last 10+ years, I've found that small, consistent lifestyle changes have brought me the biggest wins.  For example, when I transitioned to a plant-based diet I didn't do it overnight. I transitioned in small, manageable stages and focused on building strong habits along the [...]

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I have been juicing for 10 years now!  What began as a 3 day detox has transitioned into a lifestyle. For me, the fresh smell of celery or ginger being juiced is just it!!  There have been times when I’ll take a break from juicing mainly because traveling [...]
