Biceps and Triceps Workout
Weight lifting, I heart you. I created this workout routine a few weeks ago when I was craving a bicep- and tricep-focused challenge. It most definitely did the trick because the next day I was intensely sore. Burns so good! As you can see by the image below, this workout revolves around 4 supersets. In…
July Favorites
July was a whirlwind of a month. So much goodness packed into 26 glorious days so far. The most notable were over the past week, which I talk about below. With the 4th of July holiday, traveling home for much-needed time with family, and spending my birthday with some of my favorite people, I’d say…
6 Workout Playlists to Pump You Up
Workout playlists are such a nice way to liven up your workouts and push yourself to go harder. I tend to stream my music these days, but back in the day when I only used what I owned, creating themed playlists was my trick for making the most of my limited selection and my long…
Do Something You Have Never Done
Ahhh Friday—the day most of us take a big sigh of relief because we can finally take a mini-break from being a productive member of society. One thing weekends are notorious for? Indulging. During the week, I’m all…“Get the workouts in!” and “Eat veggies and stuff!”….because my routine keeps me motivated. Once Friday afternoon rolls…
8 Tricks for Cooking for a Picky Husband
Husbands—they somehow make life easier and more difficult all at the same time. One unfortunate quality I’ve noticed over the years that my husband has (along with a few friends’ husbands)? He tends to be a picky eater. Now don’t get me wrong, some guys are basically human garbage disposals—they’ll eat whatever you put in…
Upbeat Workout Playlist
I’ve got some upbeat music to get you pumped up for your workouts this weekend! I feel like I haven’t shared a playlist on here in forever—probably because I usually make them for running (which isn’t happening much the past few years thanks to my IT Band Syndrome). The last playlist I created was my…
Strawberry Almond Skillet Pancake
For a breakfast that won’t disappoint, try this sweet and thick pancake full of strawberry and almond flavors—cooked to golden perfection in a cast iron skillet. I’ve said it time and time again—breakfast food is the best food. I mean, there’s a reason I joked about starting the breakfastism diet. I never get sick of…
Mocha Popsicles
Make a frozen mocha treat by combining chocolate and coffee flavors in this sweet, caffeinated popsicle recipe. I’ve been on a coffee kick lately—and by “lately,” I mean for the past 10 years. I feel like over the past couple weeks, especially, I keep seeing dreamy coffee-based recipes, so I’m basically always craving coffee, it…
Soft Pretzel Bites
Make these homemade soft pretzel bites for a tasty snack or appetizer, served with a side of nacho cheese. You know your recipe’s a winner when you bring it to a get-together, and within no time, it has completely vanished. That’s how my experience has been with this soft pretzel recipe throughout the past five…
