Pure Vitamin Club Review

Hello friends! It is 6 am and I've got my coffee and the rest of the house is asleep. I love mornings. I can type without wondering where Grayson is or what electrical outlet he's messing with (toddlers, whew!). I've been wanting to try out Pure Vitamin Club for a long time now since they …

Macros Explained

If you're new to the fitness world- or just don't live there at all- you may have never heard of macros. And what the heck is tracking your macros? It all used to be so super confusing to me too, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. Let's break it …

New Relationship…New You?

We've all been there. Or at least, I think most of us. We get in a new relationship, and that guy starts changing us. Not saying in a bad way, but they say that you start becoming more like the people you're around- you pick up their habits. Shane and I knew each other in …

Baked Crispy Brussels Sprouts

This is such a easy recipe. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut Brussels Sprouts  in half lengthwise. In a bowl (or ziplock bag), add olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roll the brussels sprouts around in your mixture, and lay flat on a baking sheet. *I always put aluminum foil down, less to clean up later!Bake around …

Why You Experiment with smoothies!

So the other day when I got home from the gym, I started making my protein shake, and decided to mix it up a little. I love trying new things, and sometimes when you mix weird ingredients together, you get something amazing. Other times, your drink is nasty and you swear to never tell a …

Easy Breakfast Ideas- Egg Whites on English Muffin

As much as I love to meal prep, I do love a good hot breakfast. But who has time in the morning? I just got this egg cooker from Pampered Chef. It. Is. AWESOME!!!! 1. Pour your egg whites (or a whole egg, whichever you like) in one side of the bowl. Yes, I know it …
