Hey loves. Happy Memorial Day! I can honestly say that I’ve been waiting for this weekend for quite a while now. Why? Because it’s the unofficial start of summer! To me, Summer is the perfect time to relax, spend time with friends, and take a few days off from work here and there I [...]
For lunch today I threw together an easy dish of Southwest Style Quinoa Casserole.
This was a delicious and filling lunch…especially for after a workout. The casserole included:
1 serving cooked quinoa
1/2 of a cooked chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup frozen pepper & onion stir-fry veggies, defrosted
1/4 cup black beans
1 tbsp Cuban-Style Mojo sauce
1 tbsp coconut [...]
For dinner tonight I had chicken salad with grapes and walnuts atop a bowl of romaine.
To make the chicken salad, I combined:
1 1/2 boneless breasts of cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup seedless grapes, cut in half
1-2 tbsp (15 grams) walnuts, crushed
1 tbsp canola oil mayonnaise
1-2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
a splash of lemon [...]
Hi dolls! Is it seriously already Monday…?! The weekend flew by, but that’s probably because I had such a great one Yesterday I spent the day downtown visiting my friend Sara (who just so happens to be my supervisor at work too, haha). Isn’t she lovely?
You know, I’ve lived outside [...]
All throughout high school and college, I dreaded the thought of writing papers. The only part of the writing process that I actually enjoyed was when it was finished. Even if I was writing about something that was particularly interesting to me, the fact that it was mandatory and going to be graded sucked the life [...]
Hi darlings! I’m glad to hear that you learned a thing or two from the Allure article. Now get ready to learn even more about how to spot potentially dangerous moles. Alex from I Eat Asphalt put together this amazing post to share with you all. Alex actually works at a Dermatology practice, so this lady [...]
Back when I first began addressing the issue of tanning, my girl Emily (aka my go-to beauty expert) told me that there was an article about tanning in the latest issue of Allure.
The other day I finally picked up a copy and was so excited to see how much great information was provided. I even caught [...]
Yesterday afternoon I got what I’m now going to refer to as the Sunday baking itch. I wanted to keep it simple, but the result looked and tasted anything but.
Usually I have this weird thing where I only like to eat pumpkin-y things during the Fall/holiday season (yeah, I’m weird like that), but believe [...]
Hello, my little tan-free beauties! It’s now week two of National Skin Cancer Awareness Month. I’ve got quite a loaded post for today’s Tan-Free Tuesday, including two readers’ stories, so let’s get started!
Melanie’s Story
I recently just canceled my tanning membership for various reasons. I’ve been tanning since the age of 19. I’m a Hispanic [...]
Lunch today was….well, I don’t think there are words to describe it.
Sweet Potato in a Jar. I kid you not when I say that this was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten!
I’ve been wanting a sweet potato mash for days, ever since seeing this recipe on Christie’s blog. But then when [...]
After last night’s dinner with Emily, I realized how much my mindset has changed when it comes to dining out. There was a time where I really didn’t think that eating healthy and dining out could go hand-in-hand. Not only was I wrong, but I was missing the point on what is now one of my [...]
