Last week, after returning from Martha’s Vineyard, I wanted a super detoxifying smoothie to help my body reset a bit after eating out a lot. This pink smoothie comes together in no time - perfect for those busy mornings or when life just gets a bit crazy. I ended up adding a little almond butter to help keep myself satiated a bit longer as well.

Although this avoidance might help reduce feelings of fear in the short term, over the long term it can make the fear become even worse. ⠀

Adding nutrients such as protein, fat, fiber, and greens specifically work beautifully together to extend our blood sugar curve. They keep us full longer, and satisfied until our next meal. I like to make sure I pair a smoothie or some other type of carbohydrate to create a balanced meal that will help keep me full longer.

The Beautycounter charcoal mask is a great way to detoxify your skin and clear your pores. It’s also great for acne, to use as a spot treatment and to treat bug or mosquito bites and helps poison ivy!

I was the girl who would tan two times per day when I worked at a tanning salon in the midwest and also use baby oil to get as dark as possible in my summers in the Midwest. I was under the mindset that you didn’t need sun protection you just need a base tan and then you could keep going indefinately without sun protection.

Every time a new trip comes up, I end up buying new things. Who can relate?! Ha! I don’t know about you but I love to pull out a new pair of pajamas or outfit for a trip that I’ve had planned. While travelling we know it’s going to be hot, or freezing, there may be rain, or it’ll be so dry and I just CAN’T forget my favorite moisturizer.

Happy Easter Everyone! It’s a different type of Easter this year, isn’t it? While in quarantine, I’m finding the mini eggs are coming in handy while I practice the 80/20 rule. I wanted to make a fun cookie for Easter this year, and I think this fits the bill!

I've had a lot of questions, regarding movement and weightloss efforts during Covid-19. Most fitness advice can be boiled down to simple behaviors, like eating a balanced diet, exercising and getting good sleep. Would you agree?

Post college, 24 years ago I landed on the East Coast and a few years later became a personal trainer. I have worked with men and women in the health & wellness industry for over 20 years.

My girlfriend two Christmas’s ago made some date bars for me. This was the second year that she dropped them off and I was obsessed and so badly wanted to recreate them! Now, I LOVE coconut and I absolutely love dates but they haven’t always LOVED me back.

As I’m driving up to Maine with my family this weekend, I’m thinking of my word for 2020 and why it’s so important to me. Since I lost my health over four years ago, every single year since I’ve picked a word that I want to connect to for the next year. I use it as my anchor when I feel less than or not enough.

Last year, it was muffins galore! This year, it’s protein cookies! But! These cookies were the most stress-free baking experience of my life! I kid you not. A banana and some shredded coconut, and I am enjoying amazing soft, yummy cookies. They are just perfect for breakfast or a snack. No artificial ingredients, no sugar, no mess. I am in love - for real!

Last week, I was feeling off a bit with my digestion. My gut was not happy. When this happens, I need to usually pull out most fodmaps and redo my diet quickly. I was reacting to absolutely everything and my bloating was well let's say A LOT. While I’m transitioning into winter, I really love a yummy chicken or turkey stew to make for dinner or a soul soothing lunch.

You know I LOVE bone broth for the ultimate gut healing experience, and this Asian Inspired Soup fits the bill! This soup reminds me of pho soup. The soup above isn’t as delicate tasting as pho, as it packs a punch depending on your level of heat that you like.

Is Autumn your favorite season? Some of you might look forward to the cooler temperatures, warm brightly lit colors, soups, chili, chestnuts and pumpkin everything! The one thing I've noticed is for some training takes a bit of a back seat.
