We received an instant pot for our wedding (thanks Marnie and Eric!) and it is one of our most used kitchen tools. If you don’t have one…stop reading and go out and get one now! We use it at least once a week–mostly for rice, but we love this pulled chicken recipe. We probably make… Continue reading Our favorite pulled chicken recipe…
Since as early as I can remember, recycling has been a key component to garbage day. Taking the extra effort to separate recyclables into paper, plastic, and cans was incredibly important. We were all saving the plant, one plastic bottle at a time. As of late, even doing that isn’t good enough. All plastic is… Continue reading The state of our planet…
In April, I decided to finally take the leap into a new fitness program…and it has changed my life! Well, maybe that is a little dramatic, but it certainly has made a difference in my fitness journey. I have always been a gym rat. I love the gym, but I live about 25 minutes away… Continue reading Let’s talk fitness…
As I sit here staring at my handsome little beagle, I can’t help to think of all of those animals that are being tested on to make the personal care products that are used by millions daily. In case you didn’t know…beagles are one of the most commonly used animals in animal testing. Why you… Continue reading Cruelty-Free…
I know this is a bit late since I have had this hairstyle for a few months now…but **shrug**. Folks, it was time for a change. You know the saying: New year, new me! Well, it’s a new year, but it’s the same old sassy me. This time with new sassy hair. I have wanted… Continue reading New year, new look…
So this is a list that changes quite frequently depending on my mood. I have recently, in the last 3 years or so, really started to love bourbon. So much so that it is usually my go-to drink (either on the rocks or in a cocktail). My two current favorites are: While this first one… Continue reading My (current) favorite bourbons…
Lately I have been on the hunt for a delicious (and quick) keto bread recipe. I don’t often have tons of time to make an entire loaf of keto bread so I was looking for a recipe that would give me enough bread for a meal. I found Carrie’s (from Eating on a Dime) “The… Continue reading Favorite keto bread recipe…
The wrapper of my Dove dark chocolate really spoke to me yesterday. It says “You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.” – Shirley K. Maryland. Lately, I have been overwhelmed to the EXTREME. Ask anyone and they will tell you that I am excellent at multitasking and taking on a lot of responsibility… Continue reading Feeling Overwhelmed…
This past weekend I thought I would give DIY mascara a go…with very messy and lackluster results. My concoction started with 10 activated charcoal capsules, a few tablespoons of sweet almond oil, a few drops of vitamin E oil, two drops of lavender essential oil, and a pinch of rhassoul clay. The lavender oil is… Continue reading DIY Mascara…
Since starting this keto lifestyle at the beginning of January I have been snack foods to be the most difficult items to replace. I am by no means a huge snacker but I do love popcorn, kettle cooked chips and chocolate. Much to my dismay, none of those are approved keto snacks so I have… Continue reading Favorite keto snacks…
