More Than Just A Coffee Shop: Toasted+Coffee Kitchen

As a blogger, I am always looking for a change of scenery to collect my thoughts and get productive and with the growing number of coffee shops circulating in Dallas sometimes it can be hard to separate those that are popular for a good photoshoot and those that provide a genuinely dope vibe and, in this case, a creative menu that pairs well with any study session, work date, or catch up session.

Getting Geared Up For Smoothie Life with Green Blender

Can you believe how fast 2017 is going?! Maybe it’s just me because so many things are happening at once but, I already find myself preparing for our annual Green Smoothie Challenge. For those of you who are new to this, for one month we try to dedicate ourselves to incorporating one green smoothie into our day either as a meal replacement or as a snack. This way we get in the habit of incorporating more leafy greens into our diet and learn how beneficial adding more fruits and veggies into our diet can be for our mind, body, and soul. Some people can’t get down with the smoothie life because they think it is too time consuming. If that is you, I think I may have a solution for you! Read More...

Going Places with Bartaile

I have never been a purse girl. To me they lack a real function and most are too small and just act as a space for me to store more junk with no real purpose. This year has brought me into a space where I am seeking to rid myself of mess, in all forms and aspects. Not so much a minimalist but, heading in the direction that focuses more on planning, purpose, and peace. Read More...

It's Tea Time

For personal reasons I made the decision to take a break from caffeine but I just can’t start or end my day without a warm beverage of some kind. Even in the warm weather, it’s just part of my routine. The transition was made a heck of alot easier when I shifted my focus to herbal teas. Finding a blend of herbs, flowers, and spices that do not contain caffeine, pair well together, and can give you some health boost all at the same time isn’t really as hard as I expected it to be.
