This past Monday was definitely the kind that explains why Mondays have such a terrible reputation. While many Superbowl fans likely woke up with very sore heads, I woke up right on schedule for my morning workout. Normally if it’s been snowing hard, I’ll wake up to the sounds of snow plows (or ploughs, depending […]
After having lived on my own for 3 years, I’ve found that moving in with a roommate has a way of highlighting habits I was never really conscious I had. Not necessarily bad habits, just habits. Example 1: I am notorious for taking dishes out of the dishwasher that I’ve recently eaten from, rinsing, and using them […]
This past Friday afternoon was not one of my finest days. It was 4pm and I’d been at work since 9. My stomach had been off since shortly after breakfast and a dull headache had been lingering that just wouldn’t go away, even after surrendering to Advil and chugging a huge bottle of water. My space […]
Hi friends! How are ya? Let’s start this week with something a little different. I’m often asked where I get my inspiration from for the blog, how I learned to improve my food photography skills, and what other bloggers I admire. Today I’d like to introduce you to one of the lovely ladies I’ve been following for […]
You know how sometimes you get involved in things just so you can wear the gear to look the part? There was this one school field trip to a local ski hill in my early teens that I remember, not because of my epic skiing talent (non-existent) but because approximately 99.9% of that day was spent […]
There are some big reasons to celebrate today, my friends, with the obvious one being that it’s the last day of the year and that tomorrow marks a brand new 365 days of endless possibilities…. or more obviously put, it’s New Year’s Eve. To be honest, I’ve never really been that big on New Year’s […]
Even as a morning person, admittedly, I find some days a little harder to wake up on than others. My best trick? Planning for a breakfast I know I’ll enjoy every last bite of. This Apple Cinnamon Crunch Smoothie Bowl is one that never fails to get me out of bed. This green smoothie is […]
Good morning! How was your weekend? My time here in Bahrain is flying by and I can’t believe it’s Monday already. On Saturday I had a great time enjoying the race atmosphere at Challenge Bahrain, but I’ll tell you more about that in my next post. Today I wanted to give you a little snapshot of my vacation […]
This gorgeous, jewel-toned Roasted Root Salad with Maple-Orange Balsamic Glaze features naturally sweet seasonal root veggies, plus plenty of antioxidant-rich greens and fiber to keep you full. Vegan, paleo gluten-free. Sundays are usually rest days in my house, typically consisting of blogging, reading magazines, socializing with friends and a little bit of cooking for the blog. […]
Hello from chilly southern Ontario! Was anyone else less than excited to have to bust out the snow brush a few times over the past week? And did anyone realize they’d removed their snow brush from their car in the spring and couldn’t remember where they put it? (Raises hand.) The snow is here and I […]
