Hi Friends! If you’re here for healthy recipes, this one is is a winner! Ever since my weight loss surgery in 2014, I haven’t been able to find a frozen sweet treat that doesn’t upset my stomach. Whether they be sugar free with replacement sweeteners, or low sugar in general, nothing seems to work. I…

Do you have a season? You know what I mean, the time of year when you come to life? I call it my “Summer Self”. It’s when I’m the best version of me, it’s when my limitless potential starts to show. This blog is #sponsored by Atheta, and all opinions and thoughts are my own….

Suns out Grills Out!! Last night I threw down in my friends backyard, Fourth of July Style. I’m a huge fan of all the classic cook-out-meals, but I wanted to put a few fun and healthier spins on a big ol’ grilled dinner. I went with a build your own burger bar with a few…

If you’ve seen me on Instagram, you’ve seen me pour up a frothy coffee almost daily! I drink coffee for two reasons, the morning ritual, and the taste. I  don’t personally feel like I need coffee to function, and often times I drink decaf! If you love coffee, you should try this morning pick me…

Are you sick of me screaming about how warm and sunny it is here in Florida? I cannot get over how this splash of sunshine mid Cleveland Winter/Spring is changing my mood. Vitamin D is a real game changer for this girl, let me tell you! (hi Dad!) I’m here for the week hanging with…

I’m really rushing warm weather over here. I know!! Between being in the Florida sunshine and making summer plans, I’m craving frozen sweet treats and sun kissed skin! Y’all know me. I don’t mess with high sugar desserts. Not because they aren’t magical and perfect, but post bariatric surgery, sugar just isn’t a friend anymore….

I wasn’t sure that I would ever write this blog, yet here I am, pouring myself a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and anxiously sitting in front of my keyboard. Sharing your life on social media looks glamorous on the outside, all the surprise packages in the mail, the sponsored posts, the event invites, the smiling…

I’m bundling up at home on this wintery Friday night. Cleveland got a cold snowy front last night, and it made me think about all of the fun things I got to do this winter. 2017-2018 brought some huge changes to my life, but brought lots of friends, new experiences, and fun events! I got…

Hi Friends! It’s getting to be that point in the winter where I am desperately trying to wear flip flops on rainy 40+ days, but also wanting to drown in big mugs of warm soup. Some days it’s dreary, and other days smells like spring, but I can’t seem to switch over just yet! Does…

Hi Friends! Happy Tuesday! Today I’m talking winter skincare. I know we all have different skin, different ideas and routines, but today I’m sharing something that works for me. In Cleveland, the winters are brutal, not only on our souls, but on our skin. &, As a personal chef, aka someone feeding people constantly, meaning I’m…
