If I’m just snacking, I like to use pita bread (instead of flatbread because this is healthier, especially if you use whole wheat pita) to make a little open faced sandwich. When you split the pita in half (basically, just take the hole and open it further til you have two rounds) it’s just filling…

I made the difficult decision to lay low on Saturday and Sunday. I knew that if I didn’t, it would mean seven straight weeks with no time to myself. While that means I may have missed out on a party, I got to rest up and recharge my batteries. After spending my weekend taking a…

It’s safe to say I am fully recovered from my Vegas trip. We went crazy as is necessary at a bachelorette party and I’m not quite sure how I survived on an average of 4 hours of sleep per night for 3 nights. I’m looking forward to a slightly more relaxing weekend this weekend but…

Louisa never ventured out of her small English town and was content working at a small café and spending time at home, doing nothing particularly exciting. Will, on the other hand, was constantly venturing out. He lived a fast life in London, making tons of money and spending his free time bungee jumping. Then he…

I previously wrote how I liked Dig Inn because it is one of the few places you can get takeout for a full, well-balanced meal – protein + sides. Well call me a fickle lover because I’ve found something I like WAY better. Here’s the thing: Dig Inn is healthy, which is great. But sometimes…
