    People Magazine Half Their Size X6 Wow! Every time I get an opportunity to be featured in People Magazine’s “Half Their Size” issues I’m astonished. I’m overwhelmed that my story is STILL relevant and timely and I’m also amazed that I always seem well prepared. What it’s taught me is that…

    NY&Co and Me – Feature

    I work in fashion but I’m not a fashion blogger. If your a constant reader of this blog, you have a good idea as to where my passions lie. #IRL for the past ten years i’ve had a wonderfully accomplished career as a Web Designer/Art director. It’s how I gainfully…

  • Spring Roll #formation

    Spring Roll #formation

    Preparing Asian inspired food intimidates me, but I love it. Spring rolls are near the top of the list, prepared in any way but very specifically when eaten raw, they leave a fresh and light feeling of fullness. Depending on the ingredients used you can really focus on the flavors and not…

  • Office Snacking: Nature Box

    Office Snacking: Nature Box

    If you’re reading this, you probably have a problem. It could be with sweets, it could be with salt, but it’s probably the combination of both and eating too much of either at the wrong time.

    Grilled cheese, hold the bread! USUALLY on Saturdays I wake up with a craving for pancakes or something smothered in jelly or honey – then I act accordingly and make my favorite smoothie.

  • Banana Choco Protein Bites

    Banana Choco Protein Bites

    Forever in search of the perfect “healthy – but satisfying” snack, I struggle with selection just like everyone else. The worst foods are the easiest accessible and also CHEAP. The strongest muscle I have against my cravings is my mind and I’ll admit – I don’t always win – i’m the MVP of justification. I came across a super…

  • Spicy Pineapple Salmon skewers

    Spicy Pineapple Salmon skewers

    I like to be excited to eat the lunches I meal prep. My excitement doesn’t allow for any temptation of purchasing expensive and perhaps unhealthy food throughout my work day. I LOVE the control I have over the ingredients I eat on a daily bases and knowing there aren’t any additional additives…
