Stop the Numbers Game I have always been a competitive person, which I think largely stems from my tendency to seek out perfectionism in myself. Growing up, I often felt like I was in competition with my classmates for who could earn the best grades in school. My brother and I were especially competitive when [...]

I'm taking a break from the food today for a little Tuesday self-care, self-love action! You don't have to be the perfect everything. You don't have to be it all. You don't have to do it all. It is so easy to feel like we have to be everything to everyone. STOP feeling that way [...]
On Tuesday I shared the deets on my four-day food rotation diet, why it came to be, and why I sort of hate it. And since I am sure that many of you are curious what that actually translates into in a 24-hour period, I thought I'd share a day of my rotation eats. I [...]
My Four-Day Food Rotation Diet and Why It Sucks... How's that for a super blunt title? But for realz. Rotation diets are not fun. Just ask Jeremy. He'll tell you that about all I have done for the past six weeks is whine about meal planning, prepping, and all things food-related. For awhile I actually [...]
I have been working on my physical health for at least two to three years now. The acid reflux, the joint/muscle pain, the irregular periods, the hair loss, the cystic acne, etc. I've made dietary and supplement changes. I have changed up my workout routine. I have been sleeping more. But I have also come [...]
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea. The opinions and texts are all mine. My most favorite posts to read from other bloggers are those that involve a peek into their life. I love seeing what they do for fun in their home towns. I love seeing [...]
A body positive challenge, you say? Don't worry. This is nothing official. It is just my way of attempting to make a small mark in this big internet world. It is my way to encourage you to start (or keep) being NICE to your body and yourself. And while we're all at it, lets encourage [...]
Learn how to stop worrying about what others think of you with two simple sentences! For as long as I can remember, I have been a worry wart. I somewhat blame it on my environment growing up since basically everyone's experiences as children and teens tend to impact their personality as adults. I also largely attribute it [...]
It is hard to believe it has been just a little over three months since Jeremy and I got married. It was the most perfect, beautiful day, and our amazing photographer captured every moment. Today we are taking a break from the food (unless you count wedding cupcakes and cookies) to relive our special day [...]
Typing the title to this post just made me think of strawberry jam. Which in turn made me think of strawberry and almond butter toast (which I unfortunately have not had in quite some time). Hungry much? I'm actually sitting at one of my local Starbucks because we have yet to have our cable and [...]
