7 Ingredient Healthy Pizza

I was craving pizza but didn’t want to feel heavy and gross (and guilty) after eating one from delivery, so I decided to experiment and make one with a tortilla! Quiet a success I must say.

You only need 7 ingredients, which cost about $20 in total. And there is plenty left over to make several more too! Read More

Lifting Depression

I was diagnosed with clinical depression during my senior year of high school. Now, I realize that you may not believe in depression (clinical or another form). Here in the U.S., the most common solution is to take a pill to solve all your problems- I get it.

But let me tell you from my personal experience that clinical depression is real. Horribly real. Read More

The Poison of “Fine”

“I’m fine.” We say it all the time- whether it’s to others or to ourselves. But here’s the problem with being fine. Nothing grows from it; nothing changes.

What Grade Does Your Favorite Fast Food/Restaurant Score?

CNN announced that 20 out of 25 of the largest U.S. fast food and casual restaurants earn an F when it comes to “their policies and practices regarding antibiotics use and transparency in their meat and poultry supply chains” (see chart below).

Good, Cheap Self-Tanner

One of the things I dislike about winter (besides the cold) is that I can’t lay outside and tan, so therefore I become pale- fast. In the summer, being tan highlights your muscles and you just look and feel better. So instead of laying in the tanning bed this season, I use a self-tanner at home so I don’t look so washed out.
