happy, healthy & hot

If you're craving Easter candy…

try my three ingredient chocolate cashew butter eggs! It all started at the hardware store, when I was buying some lightbulbs.  I noticed peanut butter eggs for sale by the cash register.  Homemade peanut butter eggs.  I think they had coconut cream also. Kind of a weird thing to buy at the hardware store, but […]

Here comes the sun!

At least, I hope so. The weather can be crazy here in Central PA.  One day I’m driving around with my Ray Bans on and the top down, and a few days later I’m scraping snow off my car. But either way, spring is here and summer is just around the corner.  So is that […]

Warming up with a vanilla latte on a chilly spring morning…

is pretty much the best thing ever. Especially if that vanilla latte tastes like dessert and is amazing for your skin, hair and nails.  Oh yeah, it could even help you lose weight.  Doesn’t get much better than that! I made this latte with some of my favorite things:  Javazen organic coffee, organic coconut oil, […]

Want $134 worth of skincare? For free?

Yeah, I thought so! 100% Pure has an awesome gift with purchase right now.  If you spend $55 (get the Lengthening mascara…you will thank me later!) you receive this adorable bag filled with goodies. It includes the Charcoal Konjac sponge and Coffee Bean Eye Cream, both of which I have used and love.  (The eye […]

Since it's St. Patrick's Day…

I’m thinking green drinks.  But not green beer.  Or Shamrock Shakes. Drinking a green drink (almost) every day is a habit that has stayed with me from my vegan days.  There’s something about starting the day with something fresh and green that really feels great. In fact, I consider leafy greens to be one of […]

Tea and me

It’s no secret that I adore coffee.  I have probably published more posts about coffee than anything else.  And stay tuned…I have an awesome vanilla latte recipe coming up in the next few days. But I can’t drink coffee all day.  I would be overly wired.  And bored. So sometimes I switch to tea.  Sometimes […]

GetAway giveaway!

In my recent travel post, I raved about Annmarie Skincare’s GetAway kit that contains sample sizes of eight different products. And guess what…I have one to give away!  Even better, this giveaway is open to everyone, not just U.S residents.  

Easiest Asian-inspired salmon dinner.

Seriously.  Easiest thing ever.  You only use one pan, and measure nothing. Which means less cleanup. You can probably put the whole thing together in the time it takes to listen to “The Shape of You.”  Or “Cold,” the new one from Maroon 5 and Future.  Which is kind of growing on me.  Just don’t […]
