Pure Cardio HIIT Workout + My Favorite Things
For those days when you’re full of energy and want to have an awesome, heart-pumping workout, cardio feels amazing. I recently craved the intensity of an HIIT, cardio-focused circuit, so I crafted a new workout. It took me around 25 minutes to complete three times through. The old lady that I am, my hip was…
This One Time I Put Butter in My Coffee
Has anyone ever heard of Bulletproof Coffee? Well it’s apparently a thing these days. Technically, the concoction should consist of the following: 1-2 Tbs of unsalted grass-fed butter 1-2 Tbs of Brain Oxtane or XCT oil 1-2 Cups of brewed low-toxin coffee This mixture is supposed to be a healthy, energizing breakfast replacement. The grass-fed…
Our Engagement Photos
As promised on Wednesday, I’m sharing some of our favorite pictures from our engagement session three weeks ago. We’re so happy how they turned out, so I’m excited to throw some on here for all of you to see! So here’s the thing: Matt and I don’t usually take very good pictures together. It’s not…
Healthy Eating Challenge Recap + My Favorite Things
A few weeks ago I shared a two-week healthy eating challenge, so I figured since it technically ended on Saturday, I’d do a mini recap of the experience. First of all, does anyone else notice that when they’re trying to be super healthy with their diet, suddenly you’re invited to a bunch of parties and…
Marathon Training Update 2: Knowing When to Throw in the Towel
As of yesterday, the LA Marathon is exactly a month away!! I’m super excited for it…but not for the reason I was originally. About two or three weeks ago, I finally faced the fact that I would not be able to make it through the marathon. I mentioned my knee/IT band problems in my first…
No-Equipment Buddy Workout
In honor of tomorrow being Valentine’s Day, I’ve created a partner workout for you to do with a woman or man friend in your life. Although Matt and I don’t usually do the same workouts, it can be fun sometimes to join forces and push each other to work harder (exhibit a: P90X). We did…

Creamy Taco Dip
Back in the day, I was absolutely obsessed with taco dip. The local grocery store sold this stuff that I could seriously not get enough of. I found a recipe recently that seemed similar so I tried my hand at it yesterday to bring to a get together we went to. I made it a…
Almond Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie
When it comes to smoothies, I go through periods of having them constantly to not making one for months. Well I’m trying to start drinking them again since they can be such awesome meals or snacks. The reason I haven’t been making them much lately is 1. they require effort and 2. I’m sick of…
My Favorite Super Bowl Commercials
So who watched the Super Bowl on Sunday? And who cared about the outcome? Ya, I didn’t really care who won, but I kind of watched the game with Matt anyways. Per usual, I mostly paid attention to the half time performance (HELLOOOOO Missy Elliott), the commercials, and then Matt loves the Puppy Bowl. Since…
