I don’t know about you, but I’m the kinda girl who looooves to brunch. I love to go out for brunch, but I actually love making brunch even more.
When it comes to breakfast and brunch, eggs are one of my go-to healthy options because they’re so nutritious and so versatile. Omelettes, scrambles, and of course….frittatas!

All you’ll need for this upper body workout is a set of dumbbells! The heavier your dumbbells are, the less reps you’ll need to do for each exercise.
Adjust the rep ranges to your fitness level, and make sure that you’re doing each rep with proper form. If your form breaks down, you’re doing too many reps! Stop 1-2 reps before fatigue. Make sure you warm up / prime your body before getting started.
This workout uses supersets. Perform each exercise in the superset one after another, and then rest 30 seconds. Repeat the superset 3 times total. After you’ve completed the superset 3 times, rest 1 minute before moving onto the next superset.
Superset 1:
Bent Over Dumbbell Row, 8-12 reps (video)
Dumbbell Shoulder Press, 8-12 reps (video)
Superset 2:
Dumbbell Fly, 8-12 reps (video)

I’m not sure what it is about summer, but this season always puts me in the mood for Mexican food! I love the smoky, rich flavors, juxtaposing textures, and of course – vibrant colors!
Flank steak fajitas are one of my favorite paleo-twists on a Mexican classic! These flank steak fajitas have a deep, vibrant flavor that anyone will love, and they are so easy to make!

Hormones in the female body fluctuate a lot throughout the month, so it only makes sense for a woman to adjust her exercise routine to match this! Many women find that when they exercise in a way that aligns with their cycle, they feel much better. If your body is primed for low intensity work but you’re trying to force high intensity intervals on it, for example, you’ll probably feel burnt out, you’ll underperform, and you won’t get the results that you want.

High-fat, low-carb diets can be a great tool for eliminating food cravings and breaking food addiction, but for some people, they might actually worsen the problem.
While many people notice a decrease in their food cravings on low-carb diets, some people notice that they start to crave fatty foods more than ever before. Are these cravings a problem? Not always. It depends. Sometimes these cravings are telling us that our bodies really do need more healthy fats, but other times these cravings are due to the addictive properties of saturated fats.
