For as long as I could remember, I never worried about taking care of my skin. I just chalked it up to being young and I didn’t think I needed to worry about starting a routine until I was older. Arizona born and raised, I was notorious for sunbathing outside without sunscreen. I would wear makeup all day and never wash my face. I didn’t look at brands…
Meal prep. There are so many ways to do it: chicken meal prep, budget-friendly meal prep, easy meal prep…the list goes on and on. Over the past seven months, I’ve lived a meal prep lifestyle. Honestly, there are good things about meal prep, and there are not so good things about meal prep. Coming home from a stressful day of work and grabbing an already prepared (healthy) meal…
Goals. We all have them and we do our best to achieve them. Whether they are set by ourselves or someone else, setting goals to give us something to work towards and focus on throughout the year. The best thing about setting goals is they help us to focus, work hard and hold ourselves accountable. One of my favorite methods of setting goals is using the S.M.A.R.T. criteria…

Have you ever heard, “When you look good you feel good?” I have, and I completely believe it. I always feel confident when I take the time to dress myself in what I like to call my “go-to” outfit. Whether it’s for work, social or going to gym, I always make sure I am presenting the best me. I am sure you are thinking, “Why present the best…
As far as I can remember I have always loved playing sports, working out, and maintaining an overall healthily lifestyle. I was a collegiate volleyball player and always maintained what I call a “bulky fitness regimen.” After college…well life happened. I wasn’t able to hit the gym every day as I once was in college. Bummer! With that being said, after graduation and not working out 24/7/365, my…

I have officially completed my 3rd half marathon and I feel FABULOUS (besides the many blisters on my feet)! Overall, I am extremely proud of myself.…
I would describe myself as athletic and I love a good run or CrossFit workout. Any day I can have at the gym is a good day. I got the opportunity to play a lot of team sports in high school and college and I loved every minute of it. A few years ago, my sisters got into running half and full marathons. That got me thinking about…
Have you noticed a significant shift at the grocery store? Our world is moving towards health-conscious products, and grocery stores displays are representing this change. I’ve always been a health nut and with my wedding fast approaching, I’m looking for ways to be even healthier. I do not like to stick to my same routine, and I love variety. And before now my health-conscious selection was very limited…until…
