Whole30: Results & Final Thoughts

I finished my Whole30 month on October 31st!  (For those of you who are unfamiliar with the program and when I started, please see my original post here.)  Through the Whole30 experience, I learned that what I ate directly correlated to why my body was the way it was.  When I cut out all of the desserts that […]

Another Great Whole30 Homemade Treat

Samantha, one of the gals in my Whole30 Facebook page group, came up with a great snack that actually satisfied my craving for a frozen treat.  I couldn’t believe how simple and easy it was, and it really tastes just like ice cream.  The ingredients: a frozen banana, coconut milk and cinnamon.  I blended them […]

Whole30 Home Cooking & Thoughts So Far

I have been referring to my Whole30 group on Facebook each day for recipe ideas in addition to support, and I tried my first Whole30 approved recipe at home while I was in Las Vegas.  I apologize for the appearance of my pancakes.  I was in my mother-in-law’s kitchen and did not have all of my utensils […]

My First Whole30 Restaurant Experience at True Food Kitchen

Last week, I went out to eat with my good friend, Angi.  We planned to go to a Vodka tasting dinner prior to my committing to the Whole30 challenge.  As the day came closer to the dinner, I explained what I was doing and she suggested going to the True Food Kitchen at the Fashion Valley mall […]

New Life: Taking the Whole30 Challenge

I first heard about Whole30 through Vahni of Grit & Glamour (see her initial post here).  Vahni has a great explanation of why she did it, which is why I decided to read a bit more about it.  I have been looking to focus on something new, especially regarding my health and diet, so this challenge seemed like a […]

Introducing ClassPass San Diego!

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know I’ve made some attempts to be healthier through lifestyle changes like The Whole30 (original post here, and additional posts here).  I’ve also been making a smoothie every single morning using the Smoothieology formula since March of this year.  Now, I’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate an […]

Weekend in Pictures: Spicy Lamb & Broadway Punk

Last Friday, I went out with the girls for dinner and a show: we had a light nosh at the God Save The Cuisine food truck followed by Green Day’s American Idiot: The Musical.  Janice had turned me onto the God Save The Cuisine food truck because she knows how much of an anglophile I am, and was sure we […]

Weekend in Pictures: I Heart Shimmer!

On Saturday, I attended a the VIP Fashion Event at Shimmer, a local retail clothing store in Westfield’s Plaza Bonita Mall (they also have a location at the Chula Vista Center).    I found out about the event through the San Diego Style Bloggers blog and quickly put in my RSVP to attend the event.  I think it’s important to […]

Ranking Full Stop: The English Beat in Concert

Last Friday, I went with my girls to see The English Beat in concert at Belly Up in Solana Beach.  For $20, it was a steal to see Dave Wakeling’s version of the band (basically, the US version), so we made it a girl’s night out by starting the evening out with dinner, then ending with the concert.  We arrived […]
