Thank you to Sprouts Farmers Market for partnering on today’s recipe. When it comes to protein supplements, I can be quite picky. In all reality, many of them taste chalky, which is a no-go for me. But to my happy surprise, I stumbled across Sprouts Farmers Market’s Matcha Latte Vegan Protein. It doesn’t leave a […]

Spicy Apple Harvest Punch
Thank you to Sprouts Farmers Market for sponsoring today’s recipe! I love this time of year. While everyone is fixated on pumpkin spice, I’m on the other end of the spectrum gushing over apple and spice things. I’m a big fan of apple pie, so anything that resembles that, I’m first to try. *Forces her way […]

Coconut Raspberry Popsicles
Thank you to Cost Plus World Market for sponsoring today’s recipe. Summer is finally here, and guess what? I’m swimming a ton!

The Making of a Farm Board with The Farm at Agritopia and Barnone

It’s something I still value to this day. However, it can be quite a challenge at times. On photo shoot days, especially, when the days are much […]

Fall Refresh
I fall into a routine, and cozy weather makes it feel even more comfortable. And while routines are great, it definitely can make life stagnant after a period of time. To avoid missing longer days of sun (which I need to stay chipper), I’m going to make an effort to introduce more light into my life by […]

The Only Black Friday Stop for Me
Thank you Cost Plus World Market for sponsoring today’s holiday post. For the most part, the Friday following Thanksgiving is a sleep-in kind of day for me. My stomach is still full from the eating extravaganza, so slumber is not much of an issue. (If you don’t know, this girl has insomnia struggles. The extra […]

Grass-Fed Beef
Thank you Sprouts Farmers Market for sponsoring this post and inviting me to learn about your food. Have you ever wondered what all the hype is about grass-fed beef? I had a vague idea of what it meant and knew it was better. However, it was not until I attended a shabu shabu dinner with […]
