Whole30 Low Down

I decided to do something on January 2nd. January 1st was the day of research of what exactly I was getting myself into.I was going to do the Whole30 program, not to lose weight but to obtain the other benefits of eating super clean and also improve my relationship with food. (Currently at day 24/30) Raise your hand if you are an emotional eater… *Slowly lifts arm*

What love is, what love is not.

After some recent observations I feel like I need to state the obvious. I’m no expert on relationships but I do recognize what’s healthy and what is not. It’s time to start being honest with yourself…

Improving Your Life

I heard someone say “happiness is a choice, not a destination” and it changed my life. Many people spend their years seeking happiness, trying to get to this mythological “good place” in their life. When the power to be happy already resides in your mind, and it can be an option every single day. You just have to choose it and keep choosing it every single day.

My Little Haven

Since my sister got an apartment down in Midtown, I moved into her old room and I finally have it all together and exactly how I envisioned it! I think it’s important to have a space that inspires you and makes you happy.

The lowdown: hair products

Splurge or Save?

Target always comes through for me. We all know the hypnotic effects of walking into that place! While shopping the other day I couldn’t help but notice the high-end inspired pieces.

Lashes to the High Heavens

So I got eyelash extensions. I have been obsessed with the idea of them for a couple years now, and when my good friend Nicole told me about the special introductory rate that was more than 70% cheaper than normal, I really had no choice but to do it.

Self Motivated

You want something? Make it happen. Easier said than done right? But I figured out the biggest secret to success and self motivation:

You have to want it for yourself and no one else.

Hypothyroidism and Gluten, lets talk.

I feel like I used to roll my eyes at people that wanted to be gluten free, who didn’t have a medical condition. And quite honestly who the heck wants to give up pasta and bread? Not this girl. I digress…

West Midtown

This Monday because of the holidays my sister had the day off and magically I did too! My mom wanted to do a little girls day so we went to West Midtown to eat and then browse around IKEA. For lunch we ended up at Brick House which was delicious! Super fresh with really quality ingredients.
