In my life, I’ve been no stranger to the 2 hour workout. I’ve also been familiar with the twice-a-day workout, the on-vacation-or-business hotel-gym workout, the unlimited-monthly-might-as-well-take-2-back-to-back aerobic [...]

* Summer BBQ ideas:

Grill Avocados! Split the avocados, remove the center seed and place each half directly down on the grill.
Grill Fresh Green Beans! Using a mesh basket is best (for obvious reasons). Grill these guys on a lower setting so they don’t char before getting carmelized and yummy

* How about an easy, healthy meal idea?
Yum = raw, organic zucchini, cubed + tahini (sauce) + 1/2 avocado + chickpeas/garbanzo beans.
If you want to get really crazy, add spinach or mixed organic greens and make it a salad!
* Have you switched over to “pink” salt? You should. Salt your food w/o guilt! But…

Never fear, chicks! I haven’t abandoned you or travel pictures or fitness tips: …I’m still at yoga teacher training for my 200hr certification.
I’m on a ‘hiatus’ from the blog because of the crazy schedule.

Here’s an article I wrote for livestrong
Unless you’ve been detached from society for the last 10 years,  you are well aware that yoga is everywhere.
