super easy chicken teriyaki dinner

I just threw together a meal that was so easy and delicious (and amazing for you!) that I just had to share it with you. It’s not super pretty (and I’m by no means a food stylist) but the taste and ease make up for the lack of beauty. Basically I threw some organic chicken […]

seven super skin foods

People always ask me about the products that I use on my skin.  And that’s totally cool.  I like talking about skincare almost as much as I like talking about Justin Bieber. Soooo excited for his tour this summer! But here’s the thing…while I totally believe in using high quality, natural skincare, what you feed […]

happy national gingerbread day!

Didn’t know this was a thing, but not complaining. I was already planning to work on a gingerbread cookie recipe…so this seemed like the perfect day to roll it out. And I have to say, I’m pretty thrilled with these little guys! They’re grain free, sugar free, and dairy free. Low carb and keto friendly. […]

top five reasons to eat more chocolate

In honor of National Chocolate Day, here are my top five reasons to eat more chocolate. Not that you needed a reason. Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols that help to reduce inflammation. Whenever you hear antioxidant, just think anti aging.  Eating chocolate increases levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin throughout your body. This […]

halloween doesn’t have to be scary

I’m not talking about haunted hayrides, or scary movies, or those creepy displays in the pop up Halloween stores. I love that stuff (as long as there are no clowns involved. I’m not available for clowns.) I’m talking about the candy. The giant bags of fun size candy bars we buy for the trick or […]
