This week marks our first year wedding anniversary. Around this time last year, the husband and I, along with our family and friends, all vacationed to Puerto Vallarta in celebration of our wedding. Our actual wedding anniversary is May 30th, but because we got married last year during Memorial Day weekend, this weekend feels more […]
I’ve been looking forward to this weekend for awhile. It’s my first three day holiday weekend off since I started a new role with my work. I started the weekend being active meeting friends for a hike. Running outdoors is sooooo much better than running on the treadmill. I’ll take trail running any day. The […]
I was thinking that if I take pictures of my scenery wherever I ran, it will motivate me to change my routes from time to time (I get bored running the same route all the time). To change things up. To be in the moment and appreciate each run and really see the beauty around […]
Guess who is officially turning a big girl? My niece Jazzy. Today was her last week of Pre-K and we had a celebration with the whole family. Next school year, she will be in Kindergarten and it just made me think about it today, she will no longer be a baby 😦 She is 4 […]
After a week of all work and no play, I was looking forward to this past weekend because it would mean that we will be doing all play, all day. On Saturday, we spent the whole day at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango concert at the Home Depot Center. […]

To keep my workout from being boring, I am always looking for new cardio routines. I’ll try them at the gym and will repeat the ones I love. Currently,I have about four HIIT workouts that I’ve printed and keep in my gym bag. I found a few workouts from a recent Shape magazine, the one where […]
I’ve been drinking a lot of tea lately. Chai tea with almond milk to be exact. Our house is filled with different candles in each room. I’m currently loving the Spiced Cider scent from Bath and Body works. I bought it last week and the large jar is half way done. I love that it’s […]
We are going on vacation and heading south of the border! Be… Right… Back… See you next week 🙂
After Christmas, I purposely did not make any plans so I can have some downtime. A much needed downtime. I’ve spent a few days like no other days during the year. Just relaxing. Relaxing like staying in my pajamas all day, eating my meals in my pajamas all day and watching movies in my pajamas all day. […]
completing the 12 week workout program from Sweat With Kayla app. It’s hard BUT it works and I learned that consistency is the key in order to see results. I’m starting over again with Week 1 and doing another round. This time, I feel stronger and can complete most moves without any modification. […]
What took me so long to post a salad recipe in January? I mean, are we all detoxing from the sugar rush of last year’s holiday season? I know I am. I’m still trying to kick the habit of eating sweets every afternoon, even if it’s a mini-size chocolate treat. I find that if I […]
I’ve been craving chocolate lately. I’m not craving sweets, but I’m craving chocolate. I added a heaping tablespoon of dark chocolate powder in my oatmeal bowl and it turned into this black bowl of oats. Halloween color bowl? I added shredded coconut, granola and nuts to the bowl and had myself a healthier version of […]
Last night, Chris and I went to his work event at the aquarium. It was windy and raining the whole night so we were wearing our rainy day clothes. We were served catered Italian food for dinner and we dined next to the fishes. Attending events at the aquarium is fun because we get to […]
