Any mother will tell you that “mom brain” is a very real condition. In fact, science confirms it. Once Bazooka was born and sleep deprivation coupled with hormone-induced anxiety became the norm, my mom brain was here to stay. It became an even bigger problem when I returned to work and struggled to stay focused!…

5 Simple Ways to Amp Up Your Smoothie’s Nutrition + Strawberry-Banana Ambronite Smoothie Recipe
Until recently, I thought of smoothies as nothing more than a beverage. A delicious, creamy beverage, of course, but they were not a meal. However, once we bought a decent blender and I grew tired of my usual breakfasts, I began to revisit the smoothie idea. Below are some healthy, whole foods-based ways I bulk…
Whatever It Takes: Making At-Home Workouts Easy with TKO Resistance Bands
I don’t know about you, but I’m soooooo glad it’s Friday. I’m looking forward to a relaxing and productive weekend, perhaps with a workout or two. Since gym workouts were nonexistent all last week thanks to the plague stomach bug, I’ve been trying to make it up this week with some quick-but-effective strengthening workouts while…
Plum Paper 2016 Planner Review
Since one of my goals for the year is to be more organized, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a semi-personalized, high-quality planner. Although I think the Erin Condren Life Planner is beautiful and insanely functional, it was a bit out of my budget. Luckily I discovered Plum Paper—whose regular planners start out at…
Blue Apron: An Honest Review
Ever since I first read about meal delivery services on other blogs, I was intrigued. I’m not a natural-born cook. I need thorough directions, plenty of prep time, and as few distractions as possible. Cooking just makes me nervous and I’m awful at multitasking (says the woman who started a food blog). And despite the…
The Best Meal in Mobile – A Review of The Dumbwaiter
Just when I think I’m over the “food” in “foodiecology” and want to focus my writing on lifestyle-centric things, I eat a meal so overwhelmingly delicious that it almost brings tears to my eyes. I may not be a natural-born cook, but good food is the way to my heart. I adore the stories it…
Less Messy Honey? Sweet! (Nektar Naturals Review)
Once the Christmas tree goes up and the air turns cool, I just want to spend hours and hours baking delicious holiday treats (easier said than done with a toddler, though). This year, I’m even more excited about holiday baking because of a new (to me) product I was introduced to: Nektar Naturals Honey Crystals….
Meal Enders Review + Giveaway {Closed}
Confession time: desserts and I have a somewhat complicated relationship. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it here, but as a child, I suffered from food allergies. Not your typical peanut or shellfish allergy that warranted a sizeable EpiPen stock, but something that did disrupt our lives for at least a few years. I had…
Protein-Packed Hemp & Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus + A Giveaway! {Closed}
If you’re active in the fitness or healthy living world, you’re probably well aware of the importance of protein. Protein is more than just another macronutrient that you obtain from a giant piece of chicken or bowl full of beans. In fact, proteins—or the thousands of smaller units called amino acids of which they’re composed—are…
Montego’s Caribbean Cafe & Bar Review
Happy Tuesday! I don’t know about you, but I’m glad my gully-washer of a Monday is over. So. Much. Rain. Apparently I’m really bad about posting timely restaurant reviews because I’m just now getting around to sharing last month’s Labor Day weekend experience at Montego’s Caribbean Café and Bar. I guess I’m busier than I…
