Glowing Up After College: My Story + How-To’s
Remember how I started my blog in the beginning… …then continued in college? Woo boy, we’ve come a long way! Look, I am in no way saying I started from the bottom of the barrel. People have told me I won the genetic lottery, but I understand that I don’t fit everyone’s criteria on what…

A Word About Romanticizing Your Life
Romanticize, romantic, romanticism, romance…they’re all naturally beautiful words, aren’t they? As of lately, romanticize is a hot buzzword that conveys the illustration of either a person, place, circumstance, or idea in a fashion that reminds people in an idealistic, pedestalized, sometimes dream state. In other words: anything romanticized can easily be dismissed by a skeptic.…

Shilling for Pilates
First of all, should you try Pilates at least once? 100%. You didn’t hear it from me: My Pilates journey actually began four score and seven years ago with Blogilates–I followed her workouts for the vast majority of my youth, combining her videos with gym cycling and strength training, then eventually sticking to solely lifting…

And I’m back from my 2-year break!
Why hello! Good morning! Good mid-morning, afternoon, evening, lunchtime, cocktail hour, whenever you read this post. How are you all? (I’m well, thank you! Though I’m sure only two of you asked) It’s an established fact that I went rogue from the blog for more than a year. Not a secret. The good news is…

Health and Fitness Myths that I Used to Believe and Wish Were True (but aren’t)
For some reason, I genuinely believe that there has been a special era in the health and fitness community that distributed all kinds of misinformation…I say has been because we are experiencing what one would consider the same era but with different notions and rumors that simply aren’t true (at least not proven based on…

What We Should Account For in Food More Often, But Probably Don’t (Hint: it’s not fiber or added sugar)
Well folks, it’s time to celebrate: Happy 100 Years of Popularized Calorie Counting! Yep, calorie counting propelled in prominence beginning in the post-war era during the 1920s, though the existence of the calorie was discovered long before. Ever since we began viewing the numbers on our food labels and instructed to pay more attention to…

Reverse Dieting vs. Intuitive Eating vs. All In: Diets for Breaking an Unsustainable Diet
Amidst the clusterf*ck of disasters amalgamated in the first half of this year, one of the good news about 2020 is how most people are sick of fad dieting. Nobody wants to constantly calorie count, juice cleanse, or cut out entire food groups for the sake of it (except for medical, ethical, or religious reasons).…

Non-Screen Time Activities for a Quarantine
Los Angeles is officially on lock down with most public facilities and nonessential businesses closing their doors to customers, with the exception of ordering online, for takeout, or for delivery. Some people have even been fined for exiting their homes or driving to places that can potentially be contagious. Easier said than done, but there’s…

Cauliflower Rice Sushi (healthy, vegan, and gluten free)
Put me on “My Strange Addiction” because I am officially obsessed with cauliflower rice sushi. Granted it has been a while since we’ve had cauliflower rice in our kitchen…same with raw and crunchy almond butter. By that, I mean it’s been a day. I’m suffering. Sushi tends to be quite expensive and often quite modest…

I Exercised Intensely For +90 Minutes Every Single Day for a Week. Here’s What Happened.
Did you think my 20,000-steps-a-day challenge was hard? Think again, because my inner guinea pig lit a fire inside of me and posed yet another challenge: exercise for a pretty darn extreme amount of time every single day, ALL high intensity workouts, and no days off until the week is over. OH FREAKING SNAP. Fun…
