The other day I saw this quote on Naomi’s blog over at One Fit Foodie. I loved it so much that I wanted to feature it on this week’s Quotable Sunday. As the weekend unwinds, I want you all to remember that this life is yours (and yours alone) to live, so follow the path that makes you happiest and never look back.

Have a great night,

The other day, my friend sent me an article from The Hairpin called “Reading Between the Texts: The Other Side.” The little scenarios made me laugh so hard because, well, we’ve all been there at some point in time. And if you haven’t been there, then you may just be the most normal person I’ve ever met. Whether you’re a drunk texter-aholic or simply an over-analyzer like myself, you’ll surely get a hoot out of this article.

As much as I love giving presents, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like receiving them too. Whether it’s a surprise back rub, or a special bottle of wine, presents are oodles of fun. And yesterday, my sister surprised me with quite the belated birthday present. Since she knows I love to read, cook, and eat healthy (as she does as well), she ordered me the book “Gourmet Nutrition: The Cookbook for the Fit Food Lover.” It arrived in the mail yesterday, and we can’t wait to cook from it when we move into our North End apartment together.

Considering my healthy lifestyle and recent decision to go back to school to become a Holistic Health Coach, how more perfect could this present be? Written by Dr. John M. Berardi, Michael Williams & Kristina Andrew, the creators of Precision Nutrition, the book is made for people who absolutely love cooking and eating, but without all the guilt. I’m pretty sure that describes my philosophy on a healthy diet to a tee.

I’ve already started flipping through the book, marking down some must-try recipes. However, I’m running into one big problem: they all look … Read More!
