Happy Friday everyone! Today, I've decided to juice all day again. I’m just on a juice craze. Love it. Love how it makes me feel, how much energy I get, how much more focused I am and how it does my body good. I started my day with this Berry Banana Breakfast smoothie; a pretty fantastic way to start my day, if you ask me. It was a total energy booster. After I drank my drink, I went to the gym and did a bit of cardio...nothing too crazy though, as I want to have a low-key day and let my Read more [...]

The holiday is getting closer and closer. Eek, I am so excited! I cannot wait to get the day off and relax with friends and family. I am going to lay back and take the day suuuper easy. It’s going to be wonderful.

I was inspired by my hairdresser to do this. While cutting my Read more [...]

Tilapia. The protein of choice of bodybuilders and fitness models when preparing for a show or photo shoot. Why, you may ask? Well it’s got no carbs, no sugar, very little fat and lots of good lean protein. Tilapia’s main nutritional value is protein. One serving (4-oz fillet) provides half of the recommended (daily minimum) protein consumption for an active person. Pretty good, right? Tilapia is also rich in Vitamin B-12 and Selenium, which are essential vitamins for proper cell function. This Read more [...]

I will be spending lots of time in my kitchen with you, so I couldn’t think of a better first post than to show you all my lovely kitchen. It is not super big and it doesn’t have a whole lot of storage space, but it’s MY kitchen and that’s where the magic happens in this house. It is probably the one place in my house where I spend most of my time in, except for maybe my home office. One of the main reasons why I love my kitchen is because it is centrally located between the TV room and Read more [...]
