Everyone knows that we need to eat to survive. It’s just a fact of life. Just as we need oxygen and water, we also need food.

Today, I want to talk about how to overcome emotional eating because we, as women, do tend to deal with this issue more often than our male counterparts.   What causes…

I have a confession to make… trying to find a balance between frugality and healthy, especially when it comes to groceries, has not been easy. I enjoy the convenience of canned foods but I’ve also become more mindful about reading labels. I have to be mindful about labels because of my migraines. And I can definitely feel the difference when I have foods that are packed with preservatives and artificial flavors. But, I also don’t have an unlimited grocery budget to be able to afford the healthy food that I would love to have in my daily diet. So how do I grocery shop for health while still staying in my budget? Here are a few easy ways for healthier grocery shopping that we’ve started…

In my journey to live a healthier lifestyle I’ve always hit a roadblock when it comes to my diet.

But it’s also difficult to do so. Part of this is because sugar is in almost everything we consume. As a child, I admit, I did eat sugar cubes, I heaped a spoonful of sugar on my cereal… I loved sugar. I still love sugar, but I’m also learning that this isn’t such a great thing.

I’ve made mention in the past, albeit briefly, about the various types of diets that are out there. I have yet to really try any of them but wanted to look into them so I could explore my options.

Of course, I’m not above using a few shortcuts here and there but I also know that baking from scratch gives me more control over the ingredients. Recently, I’ve started looking into healthier alternatives for white flour for when I bake. Partially because we’re still looking into making some gluten free friendly changes to our overall diet and partially because it’s part of our overall steps towards a healthier lifestyle. I’ll also be the first to admit, one of the biggest obstacles that we continually face…
