What I Know For Sure
- Sometimes having lots of options makes decision making harder - I'm going through a season of "no", but I'm preparing myself for a season of yes - Honest genuine feedback is rare, but I truly appreciate it. Especially from a man. - I taught a 4 year old how to hula...
Monday Boost of Energy: Sunflower seed & banana smoothie
I found a new recipe for a great energy smoothie last week! Conveniently, I had a bag of sunflower seeds and bananas on hand to make it. I bought a bag of sunflower seeds from Whole Foods and they make a great filling snack. Sunflower seeds are a great source of...
My Experience at JeJu Spa
I first learned about JeJu Sauna from my women's small group. One of our group members talked about how going "changed her life". I've seen reviews online on Yelp and throughout the internet. I've heard other first hand reviews from friends. All positive words and...
Tea has it’s Benefits
I love tea! Not sure how this happened because as a kid I hated iced tea. I'd avoid drinking it at all costs! I didn't like how it was overly sweetened. It just didn't work for me. But somehow, someway, I started to enjoy tea. Not southern style sweet tea. I drank...
Brussel Sprouts get a bad rap

Movie Review: Black Swan
(source) I went to see Black Swan yesterday. After leaving the theater, I couldn't even come up with the words to describe the film. Finally, I was able to sum it up with one sentence: "Black Swan is like a piece of artwork. Some people will get it and love it. Others...
Heart of Haiti
I can't believe that the devastating earthquakes happened in Haiti over 1 year ago today! The catastrophic earthquake killed more than 220,000 people and To this day, there are still millions left homeless. Last night, I learned more about the state of Haiti when I...
Snowed in with Hot Chocolate from scratch
I'm snowed in today! It came out of no where. Okay, now that's a total lie. Us Atlanta folk heard about the snow coming Friday or so. My dad told me I would not be going anywhere. And because my dad knows everything, I knew he was right. No really, my dad does know...
