Have you ever wondered why Zebra’s or other animals that are prey to scary predators don’t have a large array of health issues? Me either until I was introduced to this research in undergrad. I had an awesome professor that recommended the book “Why Zebra’s Don’t Get Ulcers” by researcher and author Robert Sapolsky. (Worth […]

Hey beauty queen! Have you ever had something that you were completely obsessed about and you just could not get enough information? This is me on the path of figuring out hormones. Every chance I get I am chatting with experts, reading research studies, and books until all hours of the night (well at least […]

Define your week by obedience, not by a number on the scale… I stepped on the scale…clothes stripped off, first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom of course as that wouldn’t be a true measure of my weight…who else does this? 😀 I even tossed the ponytail holder to the side as that […]

Hey friend!   When I write these posts I picture you, friend, sitting across the table from me. We both have a cup of coffee in hand, sporting our best yoga pants…I hope you too feel these bonding moments. 😀  Well, if I am being honest, I haven’t been a great friend lately. Have you missed […]

I remember the days as a child, stripping wallpaper off my childhood home’s walls and my mom bringing the books of wallpaper samples home. In fact, I still remember the ballerina bear wallpaper border that accented my room. Anyone else have a similar […]

Hey friends!  Are you thinking of building your own house?  We built our house over 5 years ago and truth be told… I loved every minute of it! I would do it all over again! We are planning on an addition soon.  I have had many people reach out to me with questions on the […]

Mama went out of town for a few days!  You guys, I really didn’t want to leave my family this week but if I am being completely honest, it has been so refreshing (minus the 2:00 am leave time for the airport)!  I was feeling extra guilty that I missed my morning workout so I […]

I cannot believe another year came to a close! Who else soaks in all the year end, new beginnings?! 🙋‍♀️ I absolutely love a new planner with my favorite pens, new goals, and the fresh start! I also love looking back on the years past and taking a trip down memory lane. Here are my […]
