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.

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.

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.

Feeling Overwhelmed…

February 21, 2019February 21, 2019 mascaranbourbon2 Comments

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.

Since starting this keto lifestyle at the beginning of January I have been snack foods to be the most difficult items to replace.
