My family has always been synonymous in living the humble lifestyle. My brother and I grew up in a stable family, but my parents did an amazing job raising us to understand the true meaning of a dollar (more so, the true meaning of every penny earned). They reiterated the importance of giving and taking…
Merry little Christmas to my two little babies, Maggie and Buster. They stuck by my side through all these years. Words can't express how much they mean to me. They love me unconditionally and I can't imagine my life without them. They have been with me throughout my long adventurous journey across the US. The…
I am overjoyed by the news that two of my favorite people are now engaged. I was more than happy to put together a celebration in lieu of the wonderful couple. Despite my busy work schedule and taking on a winter class, I set everything aside to ensure that this night was memorable, full of…

Seaweed is very mineral rich, some of which includes calcium, copper, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. The cucumbers balances the meal…
My vegan pizza sandwiches are simple and easy to make. I personally like to use Rudi's whole wheat bread with veggie "pepperoni" protein slices, and mozzarella flavored Veggie Slices. Add fresh garlic, basil, and oregano (or any fresh herbs you have on hand!). Voilà! A healthier alternative to calorie infested, fat-filled pizza. Pair it with…
