Save Money and Time With Meals Shipped to Your Door

We LOVE food. It is tough to be a foodie in LA because there are SO many good places to eat. It can be hard to resist going out all the time! We have both gone through periods of time where we are eating out too much because we are busy and it is easy and delicious. Sometimes you just don’t have the time to plan meals, go shopping AND cook. Thats why the new food delivery box trend is so awesome. We love to cook and we want to get better at cooking. The meal delivery boxes are great because:

1. There is no waste. They give you the exact right amount of all the ingredients, so you never have to throw away any food!
2. They help teach you to cook. Not only do the recipes inspire you to try new things, they also teach you new cooking techniques and methods.
3. They save you time. You don’t have to shop, plan or find recipes. Its all done for you, you just follow the directions and enjoy.
4. You save money. You are not going to go out for food when you have beautiful meals waiting for you to make at home! Also, we both found that when they said one meal for 2 people, we had leftovers and ate the rest for lunch the next day!

We tried Green Chef and Hello Fresh. Both were great for different reasons.

Homemade Super Healthy, Natural Mouthwash

Last night as I was brushing my teeth I realized I forgot to pick up mouthwash, again! I decided I would do some research and attempt to make my own. It was a huge success and I will probably never buy mouthwash again! 

The Power of Saying ‘NO!’

I am a people pleaser.  I know there are tons of people out there just like me.  We like to help everyone.  To fix them.  We want to be there all the time for them because thats what being a good friend is, right?  This one simple act of kindness can actually be doing you more damage than good. 

The BEST Pumpkin Things of the Fall!

If we are using the release of the Pumpkin Spice Latte as the kick off event, Fall has begun.  Fall is my favorite time of year!  I love how the leaves changing and the weather cooling (come on, LA!).

Oil Pulling: Everything You Need to Know

What is it? 

Oil Pulling is an ancient ayurvedic dental tradition also known as “kavala” or “gundusha”. It involves taking a tablespoon of oil and swishing it around your mouth for at least 20 minutes, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach.

The Mental Power of Yoga

I’ve never really been into yoga. I’m not really about the OM life (there’s nothing wrong with it its just not my thing). But, over the past 10 years people have continuous suggested I do yoga to lower my stress level and help with my anxiety. I finally took their advice and WOW.

Wine is important for your diet

Red wine is good for you. Seriously! It’s something you should definitely consider adding to your diet daily.  The recommended dosage is one glass of wine a day for women and two glasses for men.  Doctors say this change in your diet can provide extreme health benefits.

Do what makes you happy!

A friend of mine once told me that the older she got, the less she cared about what other people thought of her.  I thought to myself, oh man I can’t wait to be at the age where I don’t care what people think about me. It’s a problem of my generation and its an even bigger problem for the generations after me.  With the explosion of social media, everyone wants to be liked or given hearts.  But what if we just all did what made us happy?
