Since our trip to San Francisco I've been a little obsessed with pita's. The Flying Falafel in San Francisco really reminded me how awesome a pita can be for a quick tasty lunch. Pita's are like having a sandwich, but everything is contained. Meaning it's way less messy! I've been throwing all manner of things into a pita lately, and seeing what tasty combinations I can come up with. So when Mambo Sprouts asked if I wanted to do some *Gardein Grill Recipes I jumped at the chance because we …

One word – what did I DO in 2017?
At the beginning of each year I choose one word to set my intention for the year ahead. Rather than setting a ton of resolutions or firm goals one word is chosen as a theme to guide me through the year. For 2017 I chose the word "DO". I've mentioned before that sometimes the words don't always work the way you think they will, and this year was definitely one of those years. I had high hopes for 'do'. No more thinking or planning, instead just do! That was the plan, and while that …
Eating Vegan at Disneyland
Maybe the new title for this websites needs to be something like "Di's yoga and Disney Adventures". This is our third Disney trip this year. And, we're not even half way into the year. Though, I am totally NOT complaining! Back in January, I wrote about our Disney World adventures. Plus, I've posted before about our Disneyland trips. However, today, I want to specifically focus on eating vegan at Disneyland. Disclaimer: Links in this post may be affiliate links. Back in March we had …
Ayurvedic Skin Care products in the April Beauty Box
I shared on instagram this weekend the unboxing of the April Vegan Cuts beauty box and it occurred to me I didn't post on my blog with the amazing products I got this month. April was another great month as I got some really fun beauty, skincare and makeup products to add to my stash. As much as I like 99% of the products I get in the Vegan Cuts beauty box, I've had a few that have really caught my attention. This month it's finding Ayurvedic Skin Care products. Disclaimer: This …

7 Reasons to use resistance bands in your workout
There are so many equipment options these days when it comes to working out. Dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, bosu balls, stability balls, medicine balls but one firm favorite for me is resistance bands.

7 Tips for using bathroom scales
This post is sponsored by Eat Smart for their battery free digital bathroom scale. Over the holidays I gained some pudge. Thanks to a 12 week whirlwind of a Hawaii vacation, Thanksgiving, birthday, Christmas, New Year, and culminating in a week at Disneyworld in January. If I'm honest though things were going South before that. 2016 was a pretty great year for me financially but I quickly realized that training clients 1-on-1 and teaching yoga classes has a limit. There is only so much you can …
Delicious Daiya Berry Parfait Recipe
We all have our daily routines, that can get, well... boring. It's easy to get stuck in a rut when preparing meals or snacks. This is close to my heart as I'm currently on a clean eating kick, as I'm doing the 12 week transformation challenge with Gold's Gym. This stemmed from my 3 month hiatus away from lifting, and 3 months of indulging during Hawaii, Holidays and Florida. Excuses, excuses! Anyone, one thing that's apparent from my food tracking on MyFitnessPal is that I was overeating and …
The Green Smoothie : Breakfast of champions!
You have probably heard the old adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While some people swear by intermittent fasting and skipping breakfast, personally I cannot do it. If I do not have something in belly by 9am I have zero energy. Plus simultaneously ravenous and nauseous all at the same time. In fact, I'm 85% certain I'm a hobbit! Given a chance I'd take second breakfast and elevensies. So to keep my body fueled through the morning craziness that is my everyday life, I …
Using one word to guide you through 2017
Since 2007 I've been picking One Little Word to set an intention through the year ahead. This concept was introduced to me back in my scrapbooking designer days by Ali Edwards. It's something I felt drawn to and something I've done every year since. Sometimes the words I've chosen have been amazing. Others, not so much. I get it, New Year's resolutions may not be something you do. However you may just find one little word something you embrace with open arms, and are more successful …
