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…
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…
Freekeh-Stuffed Peppers + A Giveaway! {Closed}
Let’s get our freekeh on! I know, you’re probably thinking, “excuse me?!” Let me explain. As a Sweat Pink Ambassador with Fit Approach, I recently had the opportunity to sample a new-to-me grain, freekeh. So—what exactly is freekeh? According to the Freekeh Foods website, Freekeh is a process which means “to rub” in Arabic. Freekeh was…
Simple and Sweaty 20-Minute Jump Rope Circuit + TKO Soft Grip Jump Rope Review
You’ve heard me go on and on about how tough it is to hit the gym now that I’m a working mother. Realizing my complaining was accomplishing very little, I decided to start doing one or two at-home circuit workouts during the week. While I love perusing the various blogs I follow for inspiration, I…
Ambronite Review (Alternatively: When You Forget To Eat)
Being a mom is challenging. Although our responsibilities and lifestyles vary, I’m sure that all mothers could agree on two things: we’re always busy and we’re always tired. Before Baby M, I had a good bit of leisure time. I worked 8-5, but I could spend my evenings (and mornings, if I chose) as I…
On the Right Foot: Kushyfoot Review
Let’s talk about feet. Oh, you mean that doesn’t entice you to hang around? Maybe I should’ve said let’s talk about Kushyfoot®. Recently Lipton Publicity sent me a package of assorted Kushyfoot® products to review. In case you’ve never heard of them, Kushyfoot® is a hosiery/footwear company whose stylish products feature specially designed soles that…
Smart Coffee App Review
I’ve been a fan of coffee for many years. In fact, my love for it first began to brew (pun intended) when I was a teenager and would wake up early during holiday breaks to have a cup of coffee with my dad while reading the newspaper. In college, I grew to appreciate coffee on…
Beets Blu Heart Rate Monitor Review
It’s no secret I’ve been in a bit of a workout rut lately. And by “rut,” I mean I haven’t been working out at all. Truthfully, I’m a bit embarrassed. I made such an effort to stay active during pregnancy, but out of both necessity (Baby M hardly ever naps!) and my own laziness, I…
