happy, healthy & hot

Since Easter is right around the corner…

it’s a good time to address sugar cravings. Because there is something so appealing about all of that chocolate and marshmallow wrapped up in pretty pastel colors.  I am such a sucker for seasonal packaging. I could give you dozens of reasons why you should avoid sugar.   But I’m going to give you just one…because […]

Instead of a Shamrock Shake…

try another green drink. In the interest of keeping things real, St. Patrick’s Day has never really been my thing.  It kind of sneaks in between Valentine’s and Easter.  Shamrock Shakes and green beer don’t really hold much appeal for me.  And I haven’t seen green wine anywhere. But since I do enjoy writing some […]

This simple workout…

can really make a difference. It’s super quick so you can fit it in every day, doesn’t require any equipment, and with some good music playing it’s really fun. Totally into “I Like Me Better” by Lauv and “Never Be the Same” by Camila Cabello.  Actually pretty much obsessed with all of her music right […]

If you do nothing else this week…

buy some pre-washed organic baby spinach.  It has such a mild taste so it’s super versatile. Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse.  It’s loaded with important minerals, including manganese, magnesium, iron and copper.  Copper is so important for your skin.  It’s also rich in vitamins A and K as well as many B vitamins.  And it’s […]

Creamy clam chower…

without the cream. Definitely a challenge.  But one I was up for.   Love clam chowder, but most recipes include dairy and flour, two things I try to avoid. So I played around and came up with my own happy, healthy and hot version that’s loaded with clams and still nice and creamy thanks to a […]

Rosé all day…

is probably not such a great idea. I’d rather just hang out on this inflatable bottle of rosé and replenish my vitamin D stores! But I do enjoy a nice glass of wine.  Usually a dry red. Problem is, most wines sold in the US are loaded with additives.  Which can lead to headaches and […]

Mustard glazed salmon and veggies…

tastes just as amazing as it sounds. And it was one of those meals where I literally threw everything on a baking sheet, dumped a magical sauce on top, and threw it in the oven. Boom.  Dinner is served.  And as a bonus, the ingredients support gorgeous, glowing skin and a hot body. Here’s what […]

In honor of Presidents Day…

I whipped up this cherry mocha shake. I cannot tell a lie…this was totally inspired by a treat I saw at Starbucks while I was charging my phone before heading to the airport.  There were signs everywhere for the Cherry Mocha Frappucino. It sounded appealing, but I knew it would be loaded with sugar.  So […]
