So it recently occurred to me that I should probably start thinking about getting in shape for my wedding, since it’s about 9 months away. If I looked exactly how I do right now for it, I’d be perfectly happy, but I mean…why not strive for being a buff bride, am I right? To be…

A Few of My Favorite Things
Every time Matt’s gone for work or whatever, I always have these grand plans to make super healthy meals. I even prepped some healthy food on Sunday to get a head start. But nooooooo, like usual, I’ve reverted to my normal diet of cereal, cereal, and more cereal. Does this happen to anyone else?! I…
Paddle Boarding + Block Island Organics Sunscreen Review
As mentioned on Friday in my San Diego Bucket List, we went paddle boarding this weekend! Shout out to GroupOn for making it hella cheap and my birthday week for giving us a reason to go again (even though living by the water is reason enough). It’s been quite toasty here in San Diego lately,…
My San Diego Bucket List
When I was compiling my list of favorite moments from being 25, I realized that a lot has happened while we’ve lived here in San Diego, but there’s still so much I want to do! So I started making a list of all the nearby places I want to visit and the fun activities I…
My Favorite Moments from Year 25
Since my birthday week is just about half over, I’d like to take some time to remember the awesomeness that happened over the past year, say goodbye to my early 20s, and start to accept that 30 isn’t too far away. Weirdly enough, I’m okay with that. I’ve never been a fan of feeling young…
26 Things You May Not Know About Me
Everyone rejoice! It’s my birthday week! In honor of it being my 26th birthday in a few days, I figured I’d share some random tidbits about myself (because having my own blog doesn’t offer enough opportunities for this). So here goes nothing… 1. If I chose a different career, I’d probably pursue nutrition in some…
Tropical Smoothie with Pineapple and Mango
We’ve been taking full advantage of all the fruit in season lately. It’s one of the best parts of summer, if you ask me. Pineapples, mangos, berries of all sorts, peaches, and so much more—I need all of the things. Now that I know how to tell when fruit is ripe, there’s less disappointment and…
Wedding Planning Update + My Favorite Things
Remember that one time I got engaged? Well wedding planning hasn’t exactly been my favorite activity over the past seven months—in fact, eloping often sounds fun to me. Despite this, we’ve actually made some nice progress in the planning department. We’ve got our ceremony site, reception venue, DJ, florist, and photographer. We kind of had to…
Homemade Pizza Crust
As you may or may not know, Sunday is pizza night for us. 99.9% of the time, we make our own pizza, using my homemade pizza sauce and yeast-free pizza crust recipes, and it’s so friggin easy, guys. I don’t think people realize how easy making your own pizza can actually be, and it is…
Cooking Made Easy with Sun Basket + a Giveaway {Closed}
Disclaimer: I was sent Sun Basket meals for free to review; all opinions are my own. I have a love-hate relationship with cooking. It’s something I do constantly because 1. it helps me eat healthier 2. I like to try new recipes and 3. because I simply enjoy it. Then again, it’s also a lot…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Welcome to my 500th blog post! FYI: that is exactly how I dance. And I hope you’ve watched that video because it’s ridiculously hilarious. Not quite sure how I’ve written so many blog posts, but I guess that’s what happens after 2.75 years of being in the “business”. So thanks to my new and long-time…
What I Learned from the Vegan Diet
Six weeks ago, I followed a Paleo diet; four weeks ago, I ate according to the Mediterranean diet; and last week, I finished a vegan-inspired diet. All of this was for a diet experiment, in which I followed three popular diets that have always intrigued me—not to fully understand each diet, but to get a…
Red, White & Blue Popsicles
Happy Pre-4th of July! Aka July 3rd! Aka Independence Day observed! I’m in my happy place because I have the day off of work, which means I can do so many things I never have time for. My plans include working ahead on blog posts, reading my favorite blogs (it’s been so long), preparing a…
My Favorite Things + Promax Protein Bars Giveaway {Closed}
Who else is excited for the 4th of July!? I’ve lived in San Diego for…what, 2 1/2 years now? And we’ve never really done much for the holiday because this city runs out of parking spots by like 10 am, I swear (one of SD’s not-so-fine qualities). So we’ve just found it much easier to…
