Get Your Greens Juice

Apparently it’s still cold and flu season, because Little C has had a fever since Thursday and I am desperately doing everything I can to keep from getting what she has. Fighting a flu means taking in tons of vitamins, fluids, and lots of juicing. This green juice is a…

Booty Booty Booty

Last week we talked about abs and why they are so important, but today’s focus is going to be: dum dum dum…..the BOOTY! I am always on the hunt for awesome glute and hamstring exercises in my quest for the perfect derriere, and today I’m going to share a killer…

Crockpot Zucchini Lasagna

I’ve been wanting to make my noodle-free eggplant and zucchini lasagna but things have been sooo busy lately that I just haven’t had the chance, so I decided to create a simpler lasagna that could be made in the crockpot! Less prep time is always a plus when things get a…

Self-Care

Recently on MamaHive each of the resident writers were asked to contribute a piece about what we do to take care of ourselves when life gets a bit crazy, and it made me think. Aside from going to the gym on my lunch break each day and the occasional long and…

Faux Glow: The Best Sunless Tanners

With summer on the way and temps here in LA reaching the 80’s, shorts are making their appearance and ghostly legs are greeting the sun. Unfortunately for me, I have extremely fair skin and generally have to build a base tan by burning a couple of times before I can…

A Farewell & the Aquarium

Our amazing neighbors are moving, and I am so sad. Big C has had to travel for work a lot so they have become like our second family. Their son, Joey, is a year younger than Little C, and the two babes absolutely adore each other. Little C asks for…

Papaya: Superfood Status

It’s time for another superfood post! While certain foods like kale, wheatgrass, or pomegranates often take the spotlight, I want to focus on the less well-known papaya. Worshiped by the Mayans and called the “Tree of Life”, the papaya is an incredible fruit.  With 33% more vitamin C and 50%…

Structured Stripes

I’m a sucker for structured jackets-and this one is amazing. The zipper details and broad stripes are to die for, and it’s unique enough to be a statement piece yet simple enough to be paired with just about anything. A simple pair of jeans and a tee are suddenly a…

Oopsies

Hi loves. So sorry for the short (and late) post today. I had a procedure on my back and was not feeling too hot-so instead of posting once I got Little C to bed, I passed out. I told myself I was just going to lay down for ten minutes…

Cold Fighting Juice

With the cold and flu season seemingly endless, I wanted to create an immunity boosting, cold fighting juice blend. This green juice is composed of kale, ginger, turmeric, apple and lemon. It’s simple, tasty, and packed with all sorts of natural cold fighters. Let’s focus on the two main natural…
