There are a ton of reasons to give our produce a good scrubbing before cooking with the threat of potential viruses along with pesticides and surface dirt. However, with the current …
Plants have become my little pieces of happiness during the day. Just seeing the greenery and life they bring into my home is so calming in a way I never thought it would if you asked me a couple year back. Since becoming a plant mom, I’ve connected with so many amazing people who share …
Who wants to leave the house with all the craziness with everything going on right now? When I went to the store yesterday, the shelves were literally almost empty, and the lines were CRAZY! I was only able to pick up what was left over and (unfortunately) picked over. Once I got home. I started …

Back in 2010 or so, I made statements that makes the 2020 me shutter. Mindfully Mothering tee shirt designed by me as part of my Wellness Wear Collection I was stupid enough to believe only “older” women like high rise “mom jeans”. I thought they looked crazy and not as “sexy” as the low rise …
Last year was one of personal transformation for me. It was the first of many, (I hope and look forward to), where I started to feel more comfortable in my skin and understanding what I need to be my best self. One of the things that has so much unexpected joy into my everyday life …
I’m sure you’re like me, completely blindsided by the fact that January is almost over. Yes, we are already getting ready for Valentine’s Day. However, if you’ve been around the internets for the last couple of years, you probably heard of Galentine’s Day. Galentine’s Day was invented by one of the characters on the Parks …
Figuring out what things you need for a newborn can be an overwhelming task. Stores like Target and Buy Buy Baby are great at giving you suggestions which are helpful as a first time mom. As a mom of 2 with almost 9 years between them, I truly felt like I hit the reset button …
This super simple & quick baked sweet potato recipe can made ahead for breakfast, or as a delicious side dish. As much as I try to not turn every sweet potato dish into some version of candied yams or casserole, I just can’t help myself. Hands down, the best way to cook sweet potatoes is …
If you asked me what’s the underlying personal motivating factor or motto when it comes to health it would be “Doing What’s Best For My Hormone’s Sake”. After many years and research, I’m pretty much convinced that if I’m able to balance or protect my hormones, I’m a champion of all my health systems and …
I admit it, I’m an experiment addict. I love finding new projects or ideas and then trying them out over and over at home. My health and wellness obsession led me to my recent venture of growing produce in my kitchen. One too many YouTube videos had me googling everything from growing micro greens and …
When my family and I moved to NJ, we were excited about exploring all the attractions and popular places in our new home state. We were expecting a new addition to our family, and I believed it was a perfect way to get out the house during my maternity leave. However, my fantasies of weekend …
Summertime is often when we reach for the iced versions of drinks we usually opt for hot any other time of the year. Cold Brew Coffee is like the fancier cousin that lives in the city. Cold Brew Coffee is one of the stars of this bunch who seems to be having it’s moment right …

Summer and corn go together like peanut butter and jelly. I could probably eat it prepared any way and that led me to pretty much hoarding ears of corn within the last couple of weeks just because it was on sale pretty much everywhere. When I cleaned out my fridge when bringing home new groceries, …
Green Beauty is hot stuff nowadays. More and more companies are starting to incorporate greener and cleaner ingredients or are making entirely new lines endorsed by some of the most trusted third party testers for non-toxic products. However, one of the first and most extensive brands with a cleaner version of just about every makeup …
An erasable uploadable transcribing fancied up notebook. Is that a thing? Is it even necessary? I totally thought the concept was ridiculous…before I was introduced to it that is. And now I’m a total convert. A couple of days ago I shared on my Instagram account how I was re-commiting to my journaling practice. I …
