The seasons are changing, allergens are everywhere, and every other person you talk to has a cold. Not to mention the fact that I attend classes at a public university, I work at a hospital, and my husband’s a teacher. Yup – it’s germ-fightin’ time. It was bound to happen. It does about twice a…

Fair Weather Fan
It’s official. I’m a fair weather fan…of running. As the temperatures are finally dropping in Florida (by that, I mean the high is now only in the low-eighties) I’m finding myself with a peculiar desire I haven’t really felt since around last March. I actually want to run. Sure, I can run anytime I want….
Things Around the Web
Dear Pinterest, Thank you for introducing me to lovely pinners around the world who show me things I had no earthly idea of. Exhibit A: I did not know that if I rubbed the two sliced sides of chopped cucumber ends together, that a white foamy substance would be produced that apparently draws bitterness out…
Detox Pizzas
Last week I was on a bit of a detox of sorts. Not the kind of detox where you only drink lemon-cayenne-maple syrup-water in order to drop five pounds by Sunday, but the kind of detox where I was trying to give my body a break since my hormones had become seriously effed up. So,…
Simple Lentil Soup
Y’all, this is one of those things that I can’t believe I’m blogging about. I threw this soup together in minutes before I had to go to work one day, and the ingredients were so lackluster on their own, that I really had no idea what was going to be in my crock pot when…

Vanilla Bean Baked Pears
KISS: Keep It Simple (Silly) Sometimes it’s the simplest things in life that are the best, right? Taking an extra hour in bed relaxing in the sunshine creeping through the blinds, a hike through the woods, a simple roast chicken, an exceptionally bendy yoga class, a hug at the end of a rough day, etc….
Visionary Body Image
I have always been a big proponent of setting tangible, concrete, specific goals. It’s something I’ve done since I was little to having it be part of a former job. I even remember in high school hanging out in the backyard one summer with my sister, and my dad coming out back to encourage us…
Raspberry White Wine Spritzer
Because some weeks, Thursdays are close enough to the weekend you just round up. We don’t do a lot of alcohol in our house…first of all, it tends to make my already messy hormones even…messier. Second of all, we’re kind of broke as a joke with this whole let’s-go-back-to-school-and-get-Lindsey-another-degree! thing. Whose bright idea was that,…
