I'm a HUGE fan of eating more plants, but do we need to eliminate all animal products as well to … [Read more...]
My 5 Minute Makeup Routine
Unless you're going out for a date night or fancy dinner, I don't think many of us are putting a full face of makeup on everyday to drop the kids at school. Right?! Who has time for that? Certainly not me. Some days, I leave the house without any makeup at all because #noshame but about 3x a week, I feel the need to slap a little SOMETHING on so I don't scare small children (insert zombie emoji … [Read more...]

Wellness Resolutions That Have Nothing to Do With Dieting
Happy New Year! Hopefully you have the day off and are able to stay home, relax, and recharge for the new year ahead.

Adapting to Change & Learning to Pivot
When have you ever heard anyone say that they LOVE change? A new mom finally gets into a groove with her newborn and then their sleep goes to hell in a hand basket. The mom isn't exclaiming, "WOOOHOO!!" Quite the contrary; she's huddled in a corner sobbing and Googling everything she's doing wrong (hint: you're doing NOTHING wrong). Or when you're dropping a baby's nap, or moving your toddler to a … [Read more...]
