When I started my self-growth journey back in 2016, I had no idea what “affirmations” were. What’s worse is that when I did learn what they were, I thought they were downright silly and moronic. Saying cheesy words to yourself on a daily basis? what psycho does that? Little did I know, not only would […]
I don’t know about you, but I LOVED Girl Scout cookies when I was growing up. I’m also pretty sure I sold them at one point when I was a brownie (a level below a girl scout). As I got older and began to worry about ingredients though, I was appalled at the ingredient (sorry […]

As many of you know, I lost nearly 40 lbs over the course of the last year. One of the ways that helped me tremendously was intermittent fasting (IF). I have been receiving lots of questions about this which is why I decided I would share my experience as well as provide the basics of […]
I recently received a message from someone on Twitter asking why I seemed “so happy all the damn time”. Reading this gave me a good laugh. Why would anyone question someone else’s happiness? I didn’t even bother responding to the message. Although I’m not happy all of the time, I’ve chosen to deliberately see the […]
I lost nearly 40 lbs from the time my second baby was born in late 2017. My weight loss journey overall since becoming a Mom has been far from easy. In my first pregnancy, I had gained about 50 lbs and although I quickly dropped about 30 a few weeks after birth, and struggled to […]
