Battling “Mom Brain” with truBrain (A Review)
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…
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…
Refueling After Boot Camp (+ Sunwarrior Protein Powder Review)
This may come as a shock to you (after I professed my love to cardio barre), but I’ve been all about boot camp lately. By lately, I mean once a week the past 3 weeks, because with my mom guilt, I continue to allow myself one night a week to go to the gym after…
