Hey guys. As most of you know, the recent shooting in Parkland, FL really struck a nerve with me and many other Americans. I created a video that has gotten amazing reception, I am so happy that it’s passing the dialogue around. I want to make sure that I do what I can to make a difference. If you have not watched my video yet, I would ask that you give it a look/listen.

This past Saturday, I took part in the March for Our Lives. While, D.C. was the location I really wanted to participate in; my work schedule wouldn’t allow *damn work*. However, any location is progress, so I participated in the Stamford March for Our Lives event. It was so incredibly refreshing to see all the people, of all ages, races and backgrounds, coming together for a greater purpose. To demand change. I truly believe this is just the beginning of a much needed movement in this country. Look below for some awesome pictures from the event I attended…

Hey Guys! Today it is a Winter Wonder Land in CT. I love the cold and snow AND days off from work. I woke up today with a craving for pancakes. They are just warm pools of goodness, am I right or am I right?! However, going down this new life journey of wanting to eat better, whole foods; I was stuck.

Do I give into sweet Krusteaz pancake mix temptation with a butt load of Aunt Jemima syrup and pools of butter oozing down the tower of pancakes, or do I find a healthier alternative? Of course that latter doesn’t seem so appealing after that great description.

However, I have been doing SO well and feeling amazing, so I picked the latter and found a healthy and surprisingly yummy alternative. This recipe is flour free, gluten free, Paleo friendly, and non- gmo. Below, please find an actual picture of the goodness I whipped up this morning! PS- not only was it yummy, but it took .5 seconds to make! (Don’t take me literally here).

*Supplements I Take*

1. Beef Liver – Vital Proteins- Click HERE to purchase
2. Ashwagandha – Hanah- Click HERE to purchase
3. Collagen Beauty Water Powder- Vital Proteins- Click HERE to purchase

I know it might seem like a lot. However, these are only SOME of the supplements I take daily. It is so important to make sure we are fueling our bodies with the minerals and nutrients it needs to run optimally. Sadly, most of our food now, even organic/healthy food, is void of most of the important nutrients and minerals our bodies need. It’s not cheap, but I strongly recommend buying these items. Your body will totally thank you later. *Thank you, Jalen for passing the wisdom along.*

I truly, truly, hope that this whole process from start to finish has been helpful. Helpful to anyone who was curious, going to start, already started, etc. I hope that we will all take the steps to move towards a happier and healthier life, together! Here’s to a wonderful 2018 and beyond.

PS- Any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to drop me an email, comment or DM! You guys are the bestest, I swear.

Hey Guys! So, I was super bummed about the idea of not being able to eat oatmeal once I completed the Whole 30. It is not a part of the Paleo diet, which I am now trying to follow. For many reasons, oats and grains aren’t as great for the body as we have been told. Anyway, getting back to my no oatmeal depression…

I let my mega let down lead me to an amazing no oatmeal, oatmeal recipe that is not only Paleo friendly… it even tastes BETTER than normal oatmeal. Yes, better! Plus, it is suuuuper easy to make! Like running out of the door with two minutes to spare kind of easy. Look below for the recipe…

***Actual photo of the yumminess***

INGREDIENTS

1. Mash your banana and add the Himalayan salt and cinnamon.
2. Warm the coconut manna/butter in sauce pan over low heat.
3. When it’s runny and warm remove from the heat and scoop it into the banana mixture.
4. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
