Oatmeal After Spinning

There is a fantastic way to enjoy your outdoor space, and it’s called garden landscaping.

This process adds plants and flowers into your outdoor area, including yard structures and trellis to make it very pretty.

The paving slabs, shrubs, trees, and bird boxes can finalise this to make it perfect.

However the perfect cherry on the top for this…

I think that if I had to choose my absolute favorite food that I could eat every single day, I’d have to say pizza. Now, that’s a really broad statement, because the possibilities are endless when it comes to pizza. We make pizza every single Friday night at my house, and I very rarely make the same type twice. Sometimes I make my own crust,…

Want to hear something that you probably already know?

I love pumpkin.

I know that pumpkin is something that most people associate with the fall, but for me, it’s something that I use year-round (and generally have at least 3 cans of it in my pantry at all times). And I’ve been known to be somewhat of a canned pumpkin hoarder…

I didn’t plan on having a guest post today- heck, I didn’t even plan on POSTING today.

But then I read this post on my friend Kelly’s blog (yes, the same Kelly who did a guest post for me two days ago!). Though I don’t have children of my own, I can imagine that those of you with kids will definitely be interested…

I don’t know what it is, but I can’t get enough peppermint lately. I think it started with the stash of Candy Cane Lane tea that I hoarded over the holidays (I still have some left!) and the love grew even stronger when NuNaturals sent me some of their Peppermint liquid stevia to try. I’ve been adding to tea, plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk……

Ever since I discovered the wonderful world of healthy living blogs a little over a year ago, I’ve been hearing about how great Sun Warrior protein is. But, since I have never been able to find it in stores, I didn’t purchase any. (Obviously) I’m not vegan, but I like to have both plant-based and whey protein powders on hand for making smoothies and baking.…

It’s been over for almost a week, and I’m finally getting around to writing a post about this year’s Fitbloggin’ conference! I’m also going to be very ambitious here and try to capture it all in just one post- so bear with me if it gets a little lengthy.

This year’s conference was definitely different from last year’s – in many ways. For…

Happy Monday! I know that a few of you probably rolled your eyes at the title of this post and are thinking “Yes, Lauren, we get it. You like to hike.” I apologize in advance if it’s little redudant, but I’m still thoroughly enjoying my love affair with the mountains. 🙂

I hope you enjoyed a nice, long holiday weekend (especially if you…

*The full title should say Breaking Into Reality [+ the Weight Loss “Project”]. The end of the title is gone for some reason…

For the last two and a half months, I’ve felt like I was living on vacation. It’s very surreal to live in a place that had only vacationed to before and had dreamt about living in for years. I’m sure…

Cute title for today’s post, huh? Truth be told, I copied it from an amazing guy named David that I met (all too briefly!) at Fitbloggin’ this year. Check out his blog- his transformation is pretty incredible. I don’t know about you, but I love a good weight loss story. 🙂

First of all, thanks for your very nice and supportive comments on…
