So, we’re talking organic coffee here. Just to be clear. Because toxins are, in fact, gross. And the ones in coffee can be pretty strong. So, step number one: get yourself some organic brew beans. Good job. I’m already proud of you. Like I mentioned in this week’s earlier post (how to get yourself back on track […]

I’m not really a takeout kind of girl. The food is overly salty, never has enough veggies and fresh stuff and takes just as long (if not longer) to place the order, drive, pick it up, drive home, get ready to eat, etc. And then, after all of that, it’s cold. And you kind of […]

A cookie you can feel great about eating for breakfast is my kind of cookie. Also in that category of things that are my jam– any cookie that actually comes out well enough that other people like it too. I’m not exaggerating. I have no shame about it. Baking is not my forte. All those rules […]

  True confession: in all the years past, Mondays were always my day to start my post weekend cleanse.

These grain-free, refined sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy free treats are my favorite things to keep around as of late. And, with so much good stuff in them (coconut oil, walnuts, chia seeds and nut butter for great healthy fats and […]

  Today I have a little story for you. And a myth we need to shatter ASAP. Everyone knows that in order to be healthy, you have to eat healthy. Right? Right. True. Everyone also knows that in order to eat healthy, you have to spend hours every day cooking, prepping, and shopping to do so. Also meaning, spending most of […]

  1. Drink 16 oz of water when you get up. Yes, BEFORE your coffee or tea. And don’t chug it all at once either. Make your bottle of water your little buddy during your morning routine, whatever it entails. Then drink another 30 oz in between breakfast and lunch. At your own pace. Just get […]
