Day Two of Smoothie Review
On Saturday, I had an 8-hour shift at my side hustle. I did NOT want to go, but I am not one to skip an obligation. I decided to try the Cold Brew & Almond smoothie for my second review. My youngest assisted me. I’ve decided that to make future smoothie attempts easier on myself,…

How Much Is Your Time Worth?
Time may be finite, but I certainly try to bend the rules and cram as much as humanly possible into 24 hours. Sometimes this works, but eventually energy and motivation wane and the basics necessary for comfortable living take a hike.

My Word for 2017
Everyone seems to have a word for 2017. I’m sort of still trying to dig myself out from the mess that was 2016. I feel like that year steamrolled me worse than any other in a very long time. And, if you knew me at all, that is certainly saying something. I think, though, that…

Black Friday Cometh
I have been an online shopper since before online shopping was convenient and mainstream. I shy away from crowds and those times of year when shopping is just too peopley. So, how I find myself working in the belly of the beast by choice this holiday season is beyond me. I took the plunge. I’m…

Adding to My Bookshelf
I received an email last week that still has me super stoked. I have been a big fan of Melissa Joulwan since stumbling upon her blog when I first heard of Paleo. Her mayo recipe rocked my universe and the Sunshine Sauce still ranks as one of the best things I ever took to a lunch…

Meet My New Planner
I admit it. I am a planner addict. Since I was in elementary school, I have used some form of paper planner to try and keep track of everything I have happening at any given time. I back-up my engagements on my Google calendar, but there is nothing like having a physical representation of my…
