In case you are not already aware, I am on a cooking rampage. Legit, I have never been so inspired in my entire life. I’m hungry to try new recipes almost every single day and I am just thrilled to share so many recipes with all of you amazing people!

Yes, I said but I know you feel me. One thing that always helps me feel balanced and ready to take on anything are some handy dandy probiotics. I’m talking about some sexy good bacteria to balance out the bacteria that already exists in your body.

Being Grateful

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have you noticed how easy it is to find something wrong in your day to day? There are just so many things happening that can disturb your mood or disrupt your peace from the crappy commute to a stressful day at work or maybe you are just so exhausted you can’t tolerate the idea of doing anything else other than binge watch your fave series on Netflix. We really do forget that there is so much beyond our current circumstances. We are NOT our circumstances.
