It is FREEZING out. As in the air hurts your face cold. While we were home for Christmas it was so cold I didn’t even want to leave the house. Then we came back to Detroit and it wasn’t any better. Even though I […]
It’s funny when you have a vision in your head of how things are “supposed” to go and it turns out the complete opposite. Or you make a plan for a big event only to have it go completely sideways. It’s moments like that […]
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]f you were to ask me what was the best place I have been to on vacation I would tell you Santorini, Greece. Of all of the Greek islands it is one of the most popular. Santorini is what you imagine Greece to be – […]

How many times do you find yourself saying “I wish I looked like I did when ……”, or “I will fit into my “skinny” jeans again”. I feel like a lot of people make comments about the bodies they once had and how they want […]
Cooking dinner these days has been a little different than in the past. Long gone are the days of trying to spend hours in the kitchen prepping dinner. Baby girl makes that a little difficult when she is still in unpredictable with her feedings. By […]
I am now at the end of my pregnancy (I HOPE!!!!) so spending hours in the kitchen sounds less appealing to me. I get tired so easily just standing these days that I don’t want to be slumped over my kitchen counters chopping and […]
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he past months for me have been eye opening. As most of you know I am nine plus months pregnant right now. My due date has passed. Also for those of you that personally know me, you know that I don’t have a “rest” […]
On cold winter days sometimes a good meal of comfort food sounds good, even if it’s not as healthy as we normally eat. We were sitting inside during a snow storm tying to plan dinner. My husband suggested lasagna but I didn’t want just […]

Every year as the year closes out I think a lot of people reflect back on the year and their accomplishments (or lack of sometimes!) and think about what the new year has in store. People make up resolutions to hold themselves accountable. Last […]
[dropcap]S[/dropcap]ince I was in high school I have always had a fitness routine of some kind. It has changed over the years as to what activities I did whether it was cheerleading in high school, step aerobics in college, lifting weights, training for half marathons, […]
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t has been a crazy fall here in Michigan. Normally this time of the year we have a nice crisp breeze which makes staying inside on Sundays to watch football that much better. Not this year. Lately it’s been seventy and sunny out which […]
I am a foodie, yogi, lover and Detroiter. I am passionate about everything I do. I live by the 80/20 rule to try to eat healthy and take care of my body. I have learned that you can’t always control everything and 20% of the time I let go. I hope to be an inspiration to anyone who comes to my site. See the “Who Am I” section for more information. Namaste! Karissa

[dropcap]F[/dropcap]all is finally here. Even though lately in Michigan it doesn’t feel like it. One of my favorite foods of fall are all the varieties of squash. Pumpkin, acorn, spaghetti, butternut just to name a few. The one thing I find though with squash recipes […]
[dropcap]D[/dropcap]uring the week lately dinners have been vegetarian or vegan. My husband has been pretty strict trying to eat vegan Monday through Thursday. So by the weekend I am ready for some comfort food. I have been following the hashtags #carbsandcheese on Instagram and […]
Summer time is in full force. And with summer comes summer parties and barbecues. Recently we had a party to go to and i knew I needed to make a dish. One of my best friends had been traveling in Greece and was sending […]
