DIY brown sugar body scrub
Friends, we have a bit of a Sephora problem. While I’m pretty sure it’s the basis behind all things Sephora, I go in for new mascara and well, you know how it goes. (photo source) I shared some of my latest beauty faves here, but (collective sigh of relief) failed to mention the hundreds of…

The Choosing Raw Cookbook + Raw, Vegan, Blueberry Cheesecake
Oh friends, do I have an awesome book to tell you about. I was so excited about this one for a few reasons: 1) It was written by one of my dear friends, Gena Hamshaw from Choosing Raw (If you haven’t heard of her blog before, please click here and enjoy) 2) I knew it…

I got to teach cycling last night and am STILL feeling the endorphins.This week I’ve taught Zumba, barre and cycling so far, and surprisingly, cycling felt the best even though I haven’t taught in at…

Babywearing faves
(and by that, I mean the simplest kind with no-frills, minimal tying, and awesome cuddly time with baby) When I was at Tiki Port with a friend this past weekend, she asked me about babywearing.

For now, it’s this random Pyrex dish. Each week, there’s something entirely different for snacking: amazeballs, protein fudge, granola bars, cookies, muffins or whatever…
