Life in a Nutshell

Happy Thursday Everyone,



Though the weekend is right around the corner, I've felt so unaccomplished with some many of my daily duties, its been insane! I've missed yoga & zumba twice this week which I wish I hadn't. I also had the biggest scare of my life when I found out my husband passed out at work ( no worries he's okay!). But at the same time, I've cleansed my life of people who were unfit and filled my life with negative thoughts and filled those now vacant spaces with grand ideas and opportunities.

-I recently obtained a job again, something I had to take a break from since dealing with my illnesses prevented me from working and being around people, but i'm so glad to be able to keep myself busy and at the same time make some money to contribute for more fun activities for me and my husband to do.

-Since yoga has entered my mind and soul, I've just been so obsessed with the soul and mind, which has lead me to learning astrology and all the components that come with it. I've always felt so lost, a feeling I can't really describe but just imagine your mind running, but you don't know where to, just running. I truly and deeply want to find my soul purpose in life and find the inner me.

-Zumba has got to be the most funniest work out I have ever done in my life. My mother was a dancer when she was my age, so even though I don't professionally dance, I have always been the girl in front of the mirror jamming to my favorite Brittney Spears song, not giving a care in the world. So to be able to actually have a choreograph routine to each song is awesome and i'm hoping to memorize the movements and get better and better each class.


-Me and my husband have been spending more time with his mom and I've learned to appreciate this woman. To be around her and learn from her mind and soul, I can feel how genuine of a person she is. Though we can't change the past and I wish I could, wish to know her better, learn from her, grow with her. When you marry someone, you not only marry them, you marry their life, their happiness, their sorrows, their past, and their future. You must love all of who they are. His mother made who he is. and everyday I learn from her, I see bits of pieces of her son and that's when I began to care for her more than just his mother, but also as a friend.


Life teaches us things we sometimes don't want to understand, but if we just sit down, breath, and think about it, I promise it'll make a whole deal of sense. I'm still young and have so much to learn and grow from, but also tomorrow is never promised, so live and love, learn from mistakes, tell those whom hurt you, that you forgive them, and be a better you because life is way to short to leave it with regret and hatred,

Signal Mountain Hiking

Happy Monday Everyone!!


With the beautiful wind blowing and the sound of waterfalls, we made our Sunday an adventurous day of hiking at Signal Mountain here in Tennessee! My soul had never felt so free and alive, but by the end of the adventure, she and I definitely needed to lay our self to rest for this is a long hike everyone, so prepare for some good ole long walking, climbing and possibly crawling as well!


So follow me as I take you on our journey!















All this hiking was well worth it to finally reach our destination....and as breath taking as it was, being with family made it even more beautiful.

Kale Chips

Happy Tuesday Everyone!



I'm happy to announce that me and my husband will be traveling to New Jersey/ New York City for my birthday and boy am I jumping for joy! All I wanted for my birthday was to see my parents and spend all day with them and my hubby and I just feel so blessed that they all made it possible for me.


Now to celebrate such great news, i'm treating you all to a healthy snack I made yesterday called: Kale Chips. It's simple, easy,and fast to make!

All you need is a cookie sheet, wax paper, fresh kale, sea salt, olive oil, and vinegar(optional).


Now I preheated the oven to about 300 degrees, just remember the kale cooks fast so keep an eye lid and ear open for any quick cooking sounds.

First I took about two hand fulls of kale (keep them in any size pieces desired, I made small and big pieces) mix a tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt ( I'm not a huge salty fan) and a tablespoon of vinegar (optional) Mix together and then place wax paper on the cookie sheet.


Place the kale evenly on the sheet, sprinkle a little more salt if wanted.
