As I write this, I'm sitting in a vegan coffee shop in Cork, Ireland.

It's still cold here in April, but it clearly hasn't slowed the city of 200,000 people down. Watching them all walk by has me thinking about travel and how most people don't even want to think about working out while they are away from home. Either they're on vacation or they're working and under a great deal of stress.

Moms, Let's Help Ourselves

We often forget that moms are individuals with a past and identity before having children. That moment when she finds out she’s pregnant, the focus immediately shifts from “me” to “we”, and that feeling only intensifies the older the child becomes. Therefore, in order to truly give something back to the moms in our lives, one must simply let her figure out how best she can renew herself. Everyone is different, the needs of one mom vary from one to another. One mom might need a night out with girlfriends, another a long hot bath and a good novel. The cure for what ails is bio-individual, but the need is undeniably there.

How to Transition Away from Processed Foods and Regain Alignment with a Weekend Juice Cleanse

It's no secret that addiction to processed foods is a reality in this country. Unfortunately, that means skyrocketing rates of obesity and inflammation in children and adults, and all the heath problems that accompany those maladies.

Chocolate Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothies

One of my favorite shows, Chopped, challenges competitors to make delicious meals out of seemingly random ingredients. I am no chef, but I enjoy pretending I'm on the show when faced with a surplus of leftovers or fruit that's a tad too ripe.

To Be Happy Means to Be Creative

Albert Einstein once said, “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” Since starting a blog I have been asked countless times why I was doing it, and the question honestly caught me off-guard. For me, writing is a facet of expression, a way I can share who I am with those who know me, or think they do.
