The Only Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Grocery List You Need! (Paleo Compliant)

Starting a new diet is hard.  Where do I even start???  What’s GOOD for me?  Does this follow the diet guidelines and restrictions?  Is this REALLY going to help me feel better/look better/lose weight/etc.? I went dairy-free almost two months ago and have been starting to cut out gluten as well, so I am pretty much on a paleo diet that consists of mostly fruit, … Continue reading The Only Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Grocery List You Need!

No-Bake Vegan Berry Protein Bites

I am head over heels in love with Larabars!!!  They are made with all whole ingredients, nothing in them is processed, and they taste AMAZING!  The only thing I don’t love about them is that the price tag makes me want to cry.  I think the price is pretty reasonable if you are buying just one (or maybe two) but if you’re looking for something … Continue reading No-Bake Vegan Berry Protein Bites

I am in love with this sassy little number from American Eagle’s Don’t Ask Why collection.  The fabric is light, airy, and flows with the warm breezes (just watch out for that Marilyn Monroe effect…).  Dress it up.
