TRUTH: I love to cook and have always enjoyed experimenting in the kitchen. Sometimes I will get an idea of different flavors that I want to pair together, and I just go for it. Usually it works out really well and I have a happy honey enjoying his dinner! Sometimes, though, I honestly just want to have a nice meal for the two of us that is fancy enough to taste interesting, healthy and fresh but NOT take hours to prepare. I want to try something that is different from my few go-to favorites, but won’t require me to hunt…

My Sweet Sunrise Smoothie is so good!

One of my patterns that I am trying to change for the better is that of collecting (and keeping!) clutter. Not only will clearing away and releasing clutter physically transform the space it occupies, but it transforms us by relieving added stress and creating a sense of calm and tranquility. I have seemingly always had these little stashes around the house, in every room, and even in my car of “stuff” that I have every good intention of either reusing, re-purposing, recycling or replacing. The problem is that I find myself spending too much time just rearranging it all and…

After back-to-back weekends of seemingly nonstop partying with friends & family, my body has had just about enough with the heavy foods, desserts, and more than a few adult beverages. I just felt kinda bleh and gross and dull. Can I get an AMEN? I don’t love the idea of a “cleanse” but I do LOVE to have a hard reset to put my system back on a course that makes me feel good and happy and whole. I created a neat little smoothie that’s green and sweet and wonderful that does just that! Here’s my recipe: 1/2 ripe banana…

Sometimes living life in a bigger body has it’s challenges! Too often we are made to feel as though enjoying good health, practicing self-care, and a modeling a lifestyle of wellness is only for the thin, the athletic, and the fit-and-trim… but I want to let you in on a (big) little secret: It’s just not true. Over in The Cocoon, ALL are welcome. Together, we get to disrupt the stereotypes of what it means to be healthy, what it means to be beautiful, what it means to be sexy and strong.
