There’s nothing like the thought of summer coming up to motivate us to eat better. Two months ago, my mom decided to clean up her diet so she’d look & feel better when she went on holiday. Although it’s not always easy to eat 100% perfectly, I’ve got to commend my mom for her efforts. …
So let’s talk cheese. As part of my birthday gift, my aunt & cousin gave me an amazing food hamper which included bocconcini mozzarella. With the exception of pizza, I was slightly stumped as to what to do with it. In theory, a caprese salad would be ideal because I love the combination of tomatoes …
At the start of the year, I set several resolutions including one running-related: Improve my running pace to an 8.45 min/mile Although I’m still working my way towards reaching that goal, I am pleased to say that I’ve definitely made progress.

Today marks the start of the week where I keep saying “It’s my last ___________ as a 23-year old”. Just for the record, today is the last Monday that I’ll ever put up a post as a 23-year old :)! Birthdays aside, I wanted to discuss my experience on Body for Life (BFL). Although it …
Is it called Friday because your brains are fried by the time it rolls around? Something to ponder about…or not :). Unlike last week, I don’t have a list of my favorites for the week but I will share with you my current favorite snack: Pomengranate seeds with plain yogurt I am slowly developing an …
Want to hear read something ironic? I lived in England for 8 years yet went for my first “high tea” in Mumbai. I’m kicking myself now, but I guess after walking by places like the Ritz and Fortnum & Mason on a daily basis, the novelty kinda wore off. Call me low-maintenance but I was …
