We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w...

The middle part. Perhaps like real food, is this the juiciest part? I don’t know why or what got into her but she not usually isn’t a newer or eater of non edible items. My girl is sophisticated; enjoys edamame with a little sea salt, broiled chicken, and sweet potato dog cookies, she’s not some gremlin with an anything goes pallet. The number one thing that has changed with Roni since Pepper went to sleep would be her appetite. She eats, yes, but she’s veryyyyy particular. She won’t eat just to eat anymore. Like dogs do, she was always quick to scarf down food or treats because she worried Pepper would beat her to it. She be little but she is fierce when it comes to her grub.                             Roni, girl!  You don't need to eat crayons! I'll meal prep for you, too! Anyhow, we don’t love her new decision making abilities a...

You say cornbread, I say don’t forget the tortilla chips .  Made this healthy crockpot chicken chili the minute the weather hit below 75.  Judging by the numerous chili dishes popping up on all social media feeds, I'm not the only one inspired and to all I say: kudos.  Celebrate this glorious weather and get down with your wonderfully excited for fall self!   For this recipe , I altered the spices slightly and garnished with fresh spinach and cheese.  Excellent way to enjoy fresh greens in their most nutritious state 🍲😍🙌!

One of the greatest aspects of working from a home office is preparing food fresh in your home's kitchen.  Lunch was magnificent today.  I got the recipe from Tiffanie on her instagram .  She has become one of my go-to favorites for eating and living well inspiration.  The above deliciousness is Pero Family Farms Sweet Kale mix with chicken & apple Aidells sausage and some feta sprinkled on top.  Wowza! I'm grateful to make these fresh meals.  I was that person in the corporate cube farm who lugged in 7 tupperwares a day to the break room in order to throw together something halfway delicious and gratifying in my 1 hour lunch break that wouldn't make me bolt out at 3pm for a Starbucks pick me up.  *For the record, I did love a lot about my previous work and I did absolutely enjoy my routines and runs to Starbiz often, but having the opportunity to prepare like this more often is so much better! I think this chicken sausage is my ...
