Switching up my favorite meal of the day again with a veggie quinoa breakfast bowl. I think I’m starting to be on a bowl kick because it’s super convenient to just throw everything you have into a bowl and feel full and satisfied. I found this on Pintrest under “25 things you can…(Read More)

I love looking back at the things I learned as each year passed and find myself staying true (most of the time) to the things I preach. This year was full of any and all emotions and happenings. It was challenging, exciting, scary, unknown, but amazing to see how things fall into place and work…(Read More)

So it’s over. The four (five in my case) “best years of your life” (debatable) have ended as quickly as they began. Now its time to face this job market you’ve heard your parents and news anchors talk about, or whatever is left of it. You may have heard it was bad, or…(Read More)

Prior to this, I was that girl who bought my cosmetics from Target or Walgreens, trying to match the light foundation to my skin under the florescent drugstore lights. I scrubbed my face with beaded exfoliates when I remembered to…(Read More)

I grabbed the mail from the mailbox the other day and found one addressed to myself in my own handwriting. I curiously opened it and immediately remembered the assignment given by my English professor in the first few weeks of my freshman year of college. Full of hopes and excitement for the future, my younger…(Read More)

Cauliflower Grilled Cheese Saw this recipe on the Morning Show the other day and was like, “no way can this be good”. Not much beats a warm grilled cheese and tomato soup on these seemingly endless snowy, winter days. But we had a head of cauliflower begging to be made into grilled cheese. Within…(Read More)

There are some things in life that we have no control over. I am 100% guilty of spending too much time trying to gain control of things out of my reach. When I let go of the things I couldn’t control, I focused on the things I could. One of the most important things…(Read More)
