I need something to wear that is “resort casual” for a bachelorette party. Can you give me some budget friendly suggestions please? What mouth tape do you use and does it work? I use this one (and recently got Alix on board with it in LA) and yes, I am a firm believer that it helps you sleep better. I haven’t skipped a night in about 2 weeks and have never slept better. Can you link … [Read more...]

Blood Sugar Regulation + My Experience Using a Continuous Glucose Monitor

Blood Sugar Regulation + My Experience Using a Continuous Glucose Monitor

Having elevated blood sugar is something I never thought I would have to worry about. In January I had my yearly labs drawn and was surprised to see my HbA1C was higher than it should be based on my health status and lifestyle. HbA1C is a 2-3 month average of your blood sugar and a test I had to ask for by my doctor when she was writing my lab order. While my numbers were not technically in the … [Read more...]

Heather’s Nighttime Routine: 7 Things I Do Before Bed Every Night

Heather’s Nighttime Routine: 7 Things I Do Before Bed Every Night

Prepare for the next day Our mornings are a little hectic getting everyone ready and out the door so anything I can do the night before to prepare, is CRITICAL. Currently, I only have to make a lunch for my youngest so I try and do that the night before to save some time in the morning. I also like to lay out outfits for myself and the boys so there’s no confusion when they get up. Lastly, I … [Read more...]

I tried taking creatine but it really upsets my stomach.. any tips to combat this side effect? You may have taken too big of a dose, for example, if you did a loading phase? I only take 5 grams at a time and have not experienced any stomach pain from that. Some people experience GI side effects with higher loads like 10+ grams at a time. You should also make sure you’re drinking plenty of … [Read more...]

Amazon Activewear Basics

Amazon Activewear Basics

I was in Lululemon last week and fell in love with these bike shorts in the kayak blue light color. SO pretty IRL, but I didn’t want to pay $64 for bike shorts. I tasked Heather, our dupe queen, to find me similar ones on Amazon. While the blue isn’t identical, they are still so pretty (linked below) and fit just like my other pair of align bike shorts. I still love all my higher end activewear … [Read more...]

Weekend Deals + Steals

Weekend Deals + Steals

Shop my latest budget friendly fashion finds: I love these $5 ribbed tanks to throw over a sports bra or bathing suit. I got it in three colors. Target has really stepped up their sandal game with these and these (that look like Lulu). This Amazon cover up is getting a lot of love.. tempted to get it in black (I have the cream). I’ve tried a LOT of sticky bras but nothing compares to … [Read more...]

Details on how you cooked the tofu in the air fryer please! I soaked the tofu in boiling salt water as this recipe explains. Then I lightly coated the cubes tofu in Primal Kitchen teriyaki sauce and place evenly on parchment paper lined air fryer. I’d maybe try adding a little sesame oil next time as well. Then I cooked at 400 for about 15 minutes and tossed the tofu a few times. It turned … [Read more...]

10 Healthier Sodas and Carbonated Beverages to Drink

10 Healthier Sodas and Carbonated Beverages to Drink

I could not fit all the water alternative drinks in one picture. It’s at least 2 aisles in the grocery store these days. There are SO many beverage options on the market and while drinking plain H20 is the most nutritious, simple, and not to mention cheapest, option it’s fun to switch it up. For me, I like to have a fun non alcoholic option in the evening while making dinner and unwinding. … [Read more...]

Summer Style // Your Guide to Vacation Essentials

Summer Style // Your Guide to Vacation Essentials

We’ve got warm sunny days ahead and for some of you, vacations to be had! We spend a chunk of our summer back at our cabin in Wisconsin and it’s bathing suits, cover ups, jean shorts, and sandals on repeat. Some of you are jetting off on European vacations or destinations like Hawaii. Or you’re sticking close to home and hitting the pool, lake, or the beach. But no matter where you summer plans … [Read more...]

What are your thoughts on chlorophyll as a dietitian? Not necessary. There are a lot of health claims made about chlorophyll, but the science to back it up is lacking. I wouldn’t waste your money on a supplement and instead focus on getting in more spinach, broccoli, arugula, parsley, or pretty much any green vegetable, fruit, or herb. I will sometimes add spirulina to a smoothie for an … [Read more...]
