1. Surprises Boyfriend really went all out for me on Valentine's Day. I woke up to a decorated kitchen, and left the gym to find a decorated car. I'm a lucky gal. 2. The Melting Pot I had never been to this yummy restaurant, so I was very happy when Boyfriend's surprise date for us ended…

I incorporated HIIT into my workout not to long ago. What's HIIT? It's high-intensity interval training. Riiiiiiiight. Let me break it down for you. It's an exercise strategy made up of short intense exercise, followed by less intense recovery periods. Alternate this pattern, and you&#…

I'm a huge fan of quinoa. It tastes delicious, and is very versatile. It's yummy served cold or hot, as dinner or breakfast. Breakfast has quickly become one of my favorite meals, and Oxygen Magazine provided a simple way to whip up some delicious quinoa. Mmm Mmm!

The weather is heating up. Thank goodness. I'm a baby about the cold, especially when I live in Arizona, but I don't care. My toesies prefer being warm, and I prefer being in a bikini by the pool. So, speaking of bikinis...here is my wish list for the upcoming spring.

1. Overnight oats I've been obsessing over this breakfast for the past week. It's the easiest thing to put together, and a grab-and-go breakfast for the mornings. 2. CLIF bars I'm only mildly obsessed with these protein and energy bars. Crunchy peanut butter is my favorite! 3. Pups I just …

Cooking Light is my go-to for healthy recipes. They always give me inspiration for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert. A girls gotta eat, right? This recipe looks delicious. I love casseroles and enchiladas, and this makes a yummy collaboration out of both of them. Mmm

There is one place I wish I could live and that's inside Anthropologie. However, living in a store is not possible. Sigh. Instead, I drool over their catalog and website because I want all of their decor for my own home. With high prices, and a boyfriend who doesn't appreciate knick-knacks,…

One of the best Super Bowl commercials.

I think there is a scary connation that comes with being alone. With thoughts of being alone come thoughts of emptiness and unhappiness. It's terrifying to some. Hell, it used to be terrifying to me. I'd constantly call up friends just to come over and watch reruns or join me out at the bar…
