I love dessert. Most of the recipes that I experiment with in my kitchen are sweet treats and dessert recipes. Since I have an intolerance for dairy, gluten, and fructose, I always go for refined sugar free, dairy free, and gluten free. Just because my normal diet or way of eating is different doesn’t mean I don’t

Carrots make you tan.
Last Thanksgiving my family came to my house and cooked. And by house I mean two bed one bath 800 square foot apartment. And by family I mean my sister, her cat, my mom, her dog, my dad, my grandma and my grandpa. Oh and don’t forget I was there too. A little cramped. But
Your Relationship to Time
Have you ever wished for a few more hours in the day? Of course, so have I, but the reality is no matter how special you are, you get 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week, just like everyone else. So why do some people seem to get everything done effortlessly
30 day results
30 days, 30 yoga pose pictures, 30 times I practiced yoga. Today it’s October 1st and National Yoga Month is officially over. There were times I felt like I didn’t have time, didn’t have a “great practice,” and was tired. So why was I doing this? Committing to this challenge was like giving myself permission

“Are you ready?”
Has someone ever asked you “Are you ready?” and the clear answer that comes up is “NO” but you know, deep down, YES is just itching to get out…. you just aren’t ready yet… That’s how I felt when I gave my two weeks’ notice, earlier this week, at a job that was steady, fun,
Healthy Fresh Mexican Salad
In honor of Cinco de Mayo I wanted to share one of my favorite Healthy Fresh Mexican Salads. Most Mexican dishes are filled with beans, cheese, and corn. All of which my stomach welcomes in as much as the priest invites a mariachi band to Sunday Mass. They don’t quite work well together. This healthy Mexican dish is
