Made some edits 4+ years later with an almost 5 year old Evie and new baby sis, Indie Bo. Something about postpartum makes me CRAVE THESE CUPS. It's likely because they're nutrient dense, energy packed, and fat-filled. I made some tweaks to upgrade them, and I hope you love them as much as I do! [...]

Guess what, friends... I am on shrooms, and I am in love. Yes, I said it: shrooms. Beyond the Portobello, an entire kingdom of mushrooms exists, many with amazing health benefits for immunity, energy, and longevity that have been studied for centuries.

I love Fall. Fall means crisp air, warm sweaters, changing leaves, and pumpkin everything. Plus, everyone knows it's baking season. So when I woke up on Friday morning after coming home from a trip to San Diego (where the seasons don't actually change) to the smell of Fall, my soul was happy. I've been in [...]

I have a little extra time to cook, bake, and experiment in the kitchen right now since I can't train because of my neck.... This creates a bit of a conundrum, though, because eating baked goods all day when I'm not working out at all... Well, it goes without saying that that just won't do. [...]

icy, caffeinated goodness

So, it's that time of year again. It's time to open all the windows, pull out the shorts and tank tops, paint my nails bright colors, and.... switch from hot coffee to COLD BREW! Let's be real, bright teal nail polish just doesn't fly in the dead of winter (even a California winter where nothing [...]
