For all of you garlic lovers out there, you know who you are! Please please PLEASE tell me that you have at some point in your life tried fresh garlic.

I am not exaggerating when I say that it literally will change your life…well […] Continue reading →

I honestly cannot remember the last time I had a boring lettuce, cucumber, and tomato salad that left me […] Continue reading →

So yesterday before biting into her afternoon snack she told me that she had […] Continue reading →

As soon as the weather starts getting nice I try my absolute best to avoid the gym at all costs. It really isn’t that difficult to avoid when my non-gym options consist of running on the beach, hiking, kayaking, aqua jogging in my pool, etc. I always feel so much better when I get to have an awesome workout that allows both my body and my mind to just break away from technology and society for an hour or two. When I am working out in a gym, allowing myself to let go of the stresses of […] Continue reading →

I cannot believe how quickly May flew by and I am so sorry that I have been so MIA these past few weeks! I have had a lot going on lately that has been keeping me from being able to have the time to write, but have made a promise to myself that starting this week I am going to make a point of planning out the time I need to devote to maknwaves, no matter how busy I may be. Since we are a few days into June I decided that I better get on my “Favorite Things: May [...] […] Continue reading →
