🐶PUPPY LOVE🐶

If there is one thing that I have learned from Kobe, it’s that no matter what, his love for us is purely unconditional. DEVOTION at it’s best. Us humans can really learn a lot by the way dogs ARE and by the way they treat “their humans”. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could all [...]

🏖DAYCATION🏖

🏖DAYCATION🏖

Sometimes you just have to push the “pause” button, pack a day bag, gather everyone in the car, and get away to soak up the true beauty of life. We took a drive to Presque Isle and spent the day on a beach that we had all to ourselves. IT WAS PERFECT. The waves crashed [...]

Not your average Oatmeal 🌾

It’s common knowledge that Oatmeal is a great way to start your day, but let’s be honest.... the same thing of anything day after day can get pretty boring no matter how delicious it is. I like to experiment with new additions to my base of oats and almond milk. I have recently began adding [...]

Self Care is Essential

Self Care is Essential

So bare with me while I get a little "sappy". I am not one to show or admit to weakness or talk about "scary" or hard times in life, but life can't always be perfect and it's good to know that you're not alone. I have reached the point in my life that I am [...]

What’s in YOUR deodorant?!

What’s in YOUR deodorant?!

So, it sounds crazy, but have you ever thought about how bad "typical" deodorant is? Did you even know it is bad for you? It's pretty scary once you start to look into it. To the point that I thought my only option was to smell funny or clog my armpit pores with chemicals (YUCK!) [...]
