BODY IMAGE
Yesterday marked the 5 week countdown to my trip to Jamaica. If you’re new here – I earned (not won) an all expenses paid trip to Jamaica through the skincare company I work for, NuSkin. It’s not an easy feat to earn these trips, and I am so proud of my team (and myself!) for…

1 Year Alcohol Free

This blog post has been on my ‘to do’ list for quite some time. I’m not usually at a loss for words when it comes things that I am passionate about . . . but this one has me stumped. Living alcohol free this past year has almost changed too much – where I don’t…

CHANGE
Rob Dyrdek said this on The Skinny Confidential Podcast & it really spoke to me : “When I’ve grown to the edges of whatever particular venture or identity or direction – I don’t just keep going. I stop & take the risk to reinvent myself & go to another level.” I honestly thought that I…

Second Trimester

I guess I wasn’t in too much of a hurry to write this post seeing as how I have been in the third trimester for 5 weeks now. But, it makes sense because second trimester is a blessed time. (Usually) you’re over your morning sickness/nausea/food aversions/exhaustion once the second trimester hits. You finally have a…

Cashew Coconut Bites

I have been making these for Henry and we both love them. I found myself buying the GFB Bites often and realized how easy it would be to make them at home instead. Because homemade snacks are always better than store bought – and less expensive! Ingredients -1 Cup dates -1 Cup raw cashews -1…

First Trimester

Sitting down to finally write about my first trimester seems like it was a lifetime ago! I’m 22 weeks today and Baby C is the size of a coconut, and currently rolling around and kicking in my belly. Second trimester is a blessed time . . . first trimester, not so much. I really struggled…
