It seems like just yesterday, I was able to eat whatever I wanted. Yep, that means cake, donuts, potato chips–highly processed and sugary foods. It’s amazing how invincible we are during our teens and early 20’s. The ironic thing is that almost all of my close friends have discovered over

So I’ve been at this whole washer and dryer thing for a few months and I have to say that I’ve finally gotten the hang of it. It really did take some time to try and get used to all of the features. Mostly because I was so used to

We love our leftovers in this house. Only problem is that I swear they multiply at night like gremlins. During their multiplying, they must eat and replace the lids with other random ones that do not fit any of them. My storage area is out of control and what’s funny

A few years ago, fruit smoothies were the item of choice for a quick, healthy breakfast. While I still do enjoy a smoothie, I’ve now fallen victim to the juicing craze. Even in your grocery stores you’ll find refrigerated pressed juices. Talk to any celebrity and they’ll tell you their
