I am not entirely sure which side of the sleep spectrum I fall under. While I definitely know I have a tendency to stay up way too late, which I guess would make me a night owl. I also can get going bright and early without a whole lot of boosting. I have never been a coffee drinker and Mike and I sometimes talk about the fact that if neither one of us drink coffee is it necessary to own a coffee maker for our “guests” when we have our own home. While I think the consensus […] Continue reading →
GMO’s or Genetically Modified Organisms have been causing quite a stir for quite some time. This week however, whole foods came out with an article stating that within the next five years all products sold within whole foods would have to state if they contain any GMO’s. This is really the first time that such a large corporation has made such a stance on the issue of GMO’s and has given its customers the right to choose for themselves whether they want to ingest something […] Continue reading →
Disclaimer: I am not a dietician nor do I have any medical experience or training, this is just information that I have learned through reading on my own and have come to find through my own experiences. I loved artificial sweeteners throughout college and was all for a lower calorie snack or a diet soda to “save calories” but when I was working at a restaurant drinking a lot of tea with equal in it one winter I started getting terrible bouts of vertigo. Vertigo is basically […] Continue reading →
Hey Everyone! It has definitely been more than awhile since I have written at this point, but I am finally done with PhD/grad school applications as well as my nutrition pre-requisites and will be able to be back to blogging!! You have no idea how beyond excited I am to have a more manageable schedule that will allow me to get back into the things I love, like this little blog. Something else that is new since I last checked in is that I am now working for a really cool Wellness Consulting […] Continue reading →
Lately my life has been pretty chaotic to say the least. Between my wonderful new job working at Lululemon (with some amazing people), school work, graduate school applications, and teaching yoga I have a very packed schedule these days. While I may not be feeling my very best at the moment due to a head cold, I have to say that I am absolutely loving my new life and choice for my career. It is amazing how many things have just fallen into place since I made the decision to leave my […] Continue reading →
Hey There! I am sure you guys are noticing a few new things going on over here, the main one most likely being the blog re-design and name change which I just released about a week or so ago. While I loved my original “maknwaves” title a lot of really exciting things have been happening over here these days and I just knew that I really needed to change my brand name to something that really exemplifies me, my lifestyle, and would be a name that I could grow with. So enter Eat […] Continue reading →
I have an unbelievable love for farmers markets, so much so that I honestly think if I could find a way to live in a Farmers Market I would. (Note to Self: Buy a farm and host a daily market on it) Every Saturday there is an AWESOME Farmers Market in my area which I love to go to. I honestly look forward to it all week-long! This week I couldn’t help myself around all of the fresh and organically grown fruit. There were raspberries, blueberries, peaches and plums galore…I […] Continue reading →
Wow it has been FOREVER since I was able to sit down and write on maknwaves. I sure have missed it! But don’t you all worry I have not forgotten about you and definitely have no plans for stopping blogging, I just have had a pretty crazy month and a half to say the least. Let me fill you in on what has been going on… For close to a year now I haven’t been very happy with my corporate America marketing business job. While I do love marketing/design/advertising I […] Continue reading →
I am the queen of salads! You know how some men are the King of the Grill or Barbeque? Well I am the queen of the salad. They literally make up so many of my meals that if I didn’t love them, and know how to make them delicious and exciting, I would really have a food boredom problem on my hands. Instead over the years I have mastered the art of delicious and exciting salads. I honestly cannot remember the last time I had a boring lettuce, cucumber, and tomato salad that left me […] 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 →
