Last night, I attended a benefit workshop called Pursuit of Happiness with Kurt Johnsen. He’s the founder of American Power Yoga, and has done a lot of work/learning in things like energy balance, tai chi, kung fu…and even astral travel (which sounds wonderful to me!). I enjoyed the two-hour talk very much, and identified with …
Today, I got a haircut. The funny thing is that I was a total 14 year-old about it and took with me a picture of Jennifer Aniston and her “long bob” style to show the stylist. I didn’t choose it because I want to look like Jen, but I searched Pinterest for “long bob” and …
One thing I’ve missed since I cut down on my starch/sugar intake is…french fries. And other crunchy starchy potato-y things too. It’s not that I ever ate tater tots, but suddenly, when I stopped eating potatoes, I really wanted some. I saw a recipe on Pinterest for cauliflower-based tots, and I intended to make them …

I just had to decide what to use instead of flour… In fact, my first thought was to re-make the coconut flour mini chocolate cupcakes as peanut butter cupcakes. But I wanted a break from the coconut flour (how many coconut flour flatbread grilled …

If you haven’t previously noticed, I have a penchant for trying new natural skin care ideas. Over time, I’ve uncovered some of the things that caused my skin to be less than stellar, and it’s a great feeling to have (mostly) figured things out for now. I previously posted about some of the things I …

How many times can I post about the coconut flour flatbread before you get bored? A few people have tried it already: Thanks for the feedback! I hope others try it too—I’ve made three batches so far, and with the third one, I added grated parmesan to the batter (probably a tablespoon). It was …
I’ve tried twice to convert my vanilla coconut cream and cherry berry coconut cream recipes into a chocolate version. The first attempt…was awful. Not sweet enough. Too much cocoa. But it had a great texture, so I knew there was hope! The second time… it was amazing (and then I replicated that version just to …

Side story: When I was in college, I babysat for the two cutest kids on the planet, Daniel and Elizabeth. Daniel was five, and Elizabeth was six. One afternoon, Elizabeth and I were girl-talking at the kitchen table while Daniel ran around the kitchen and living room in circles. She told me a story about …

How was your Wednesday? What’s for dinner? I had Matthew with me last night and today, and we had a lot of fun—I got absolutely nothing productive done (except a little work when he was asleep)! We did put together a lego alien spaceship (and then played alien invasion). We also played Rummikub with my …
