Although I know a fair amount about nutrition and general health and well-being, my knowledge of the chemistry behind it all is rather lacking. That’s why I asked Mr. Science (aka the boyfriend) to share his scientific knowledge of antioxidants with us last week. Antioxidants are talked about a lot, but why we need them [...]
I am delighted to share this guest post with you all, written by the boyfriend! He has a background in biology and geography and is excellent at understanding and explaining science. Today he’s written this article to give us some information of exactly what’s going on with free radicals and antioxidants and what they mean [...]
Everyone at FitBloggin’ was seriously amazing. I can’t believe how nice and sweet everyone was. Bloggers are awesome! Kerry and Sean were some of the first friends that I made on Thursday night. Jenn and I quickly bonded over our shared affection for Charlotte, rainy walks and bookstores Friday morning was a fun walk around [...]

You all know that I’m a big proponent of walking (glorious glorious walking!), but I’m also a big advocate of standing. There are so many reasons why we should stand more often in the day than sit! I recently received an email promoting the graphic below and was asked to share it with my readers. [...]
I’ve been talking a lot about green smoothies recently, so I figured I should highlight the awesomeness of them and explain why you should start incorporating them into your diet! From first-hand experience, I can honestly say that green smoothies made me feel amazing. I liked having a little bit of solid food each day, [...]
I have finally started my Certified Holistic Nutritionist diploma program (distance ed through the Alive Academy). When I finished university last year, I was convinced that I was “done” with school. I had really enjoyed it while I was taking the courses, but I just wasn’t interested in pursuing further academic education. I wanted to [...]
During my green smoothie challenge, I lost 5.5 lbs and 1.3 % body fat! But so much more happened during the challenge than just weight/fat loss. This is what I learned: 1) Green smoothies provide you with energy… 2) …but they also make you crash. On Day Four, I slept for nearly 12 hours! I [...]
