One wouldn’t know this by necessarily looking at me, but I work out and lift heavy weights with the help of a trainer who has 0% body fat and way more muscle groups than I knew existed. I think he’s incapable of breaking a sweat and I’m pretty sure if I peeled his skin back […]
My favorite mental wealth professional used to marvel at my deep understanding of complicated relationship issues and the workings (and failings) of human behavior on a logical level but he was always quick to follow it up with “but you just fall apart when it comes to applying it emotionally.” We spent most of our […]
The more we travel, the more we find our groove. My goal is to get myself down to a small carry-on no matter where I go or for how long. We really don’t require that much, I seem to be able to make it through my weeks at home with very little clothing and supplies […]
Even though I reject most of what society tells me to do and be as a woman – I’m not polite when it’s demanded of me and unwarranted, I don’t often shave or wear a bra, make-up is reserved more for special occasions rather than a daily occurrence – even still, physically aging is a strange thing that always […]
I recently wrote about my feelings on Baltimore, sometimes I like to play tourist in my hometown and other times I just try to cope with existing here. I have my regular spots that greet me on weekend mornings with a big cozy latte or afternoon destinations for mother & son dates. I know […]
Baltimore. The city I’ve called home for the last 15 years, the same amount of time I’ve been planning my escape from her city lines. Arriving here the summer before my emotionally uncomfortable high school journey, I’ve made two previous attempts at leaving this city behind for good. Both were with less than ideal people […]
I’ve always been a sweets-for-breakfast person, which I blame being raised on chocolate cake and brownies for breakfast or the sugariest cereals that only passed for cereal based on their location in the grocery store. I recall, very clearly, going through an ice cream cone for breakfast phase in 5th grade. I only remember time […]
If you’ve been paying attention to the food blogging world, I’m sure you’re familiar with Plant Philosophy (formerly known as Plant Strong Vegan). I’ve always been drawn to Margaret’s recipes as I felt she spoke my food language. Often relying on whole foods and natural ingredients to sweeten and color her approachable creations, she was […]
Growing up in an Italian household pasta was a diet staple, always served with a slow simmered homemade sauce. I knew I was really in for a special treat when I saw Mom’s lasagna go into the oven. I wish I could say I carried on the tradition of a Sunday sauce that simmered on […]
Welcome to my first anxiety-fueled Periscope! I deliberately did this as early as I could on a Wednesday, hoping that nobody would join in as I broadcast live, alas, a few people did but I was really appreciative of the interaction even though I was rendered incapable of responding properly. I was only going to […]
