I thought my crown shaped sandwich cutters were fancy… it looks like I need to start brushing up on my melon cutting skills to keep up with the healthy art trend!
Get creative in the kitchen :)

Did you know that Artichokes are one of the WORLD’S most healthiest foods?
YES! But Why?
- REALLY high in anti-oxidents
- Cancer fighting properties
- Really good for the liver *Also known for as a hangover treatment for you drinkers out there!*
- Reduces cholesterol
- Really high in Fiber (which helps with digestion)
If you had asked me a year ago to eat this weird flowery looking cactus shaped vegetable… I would have looked at you like you were crazy.
Now that my taste buds are developing, I tried them for the first time about a year ago and I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM!
If you’ve never tried an artichoke before, I highly recommend it!
MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS BEFORE YOU TRY AND EAT ONE! They’re complicated to eat, but totally worth the extra effort.
How to eat an artichoke:
After you’ve steamed or boiled it for 25-35 minutes begin to eat.
- Pull off outer petals, one at a time
- Dip white fleshy end in melted butter or sauce. Tightly grip the other end of the petal. Place in mouth, dip side down, and pull through teeth to remove soft, pulpy, delicious portion of the petal. Discard remaining petal.
- With a knife or spoon, scrape out and discard the inedible fuzzy part (called the “choke”) covering the artichoke heart. The remaining bottom of the artichoke is the heart. Cut into pieces and dip into sauce to eat.
- I dip mine in a home made garlic sauce that I make myself with FRESH garlic. This not only adds to the flavors of the artichoke, it adds another entire health benefit from the fresh garlic!
It’s a brand new year, try something brand new!!
Xox Brittany,
I wonder if water was sold in a can like this, if people would be more likely to purchase it rather than soda.
On a side note, did you know that one can of Coke has TEN ENTIRE teaspoons of sugar????
So when you drink ONE can of Coke, that’s the same as taking a bag of sugar and eating 10 whole teaspoons…
Think about that for a second.
Think about it again next time you’re decided what to drink for lunch.
Xox Brittany,
Hey Guys!!!
If you’re having trouble getting in your daily amount of water, try this out!
(This is also great for BEGINNERS who are not used to getting the daily required amount of water our bodies need to stay hydrated.)
Get 2 water bottles and literally MARK on the bottles how much you will need to drink by the end of the day~
Imagine laying down for bed at the end of the day and seeing two empty water bottles, knowing that it’s ALL inside of you making you a hydrated healthy being!
Strong, Fit and FABULOUS!

Don’t be afraid to start slow!!
If you’re a beginner, or are having a hard time finding the best way to get back on track I promise you it’s totally ok to take it day by day!
You can make your own goal charts of course, but having goals and making even a little progress is better than sitting around feeling guilty about not doing anything at all!
Think about it, at the end of the day wouldn’t you rather say “I ate a piece of fruit and went on a walk today” instead of “I left the biggest butt print in my couch and found out how many Cheetos I can stuff in my mouth at once today.”
It’s your life, you’ve only got one.
MAKE THE MOST OF IT!!
Strong, Fit and FABULOUS!

This goes to show that you don’t always have to eat “Chips and Popcorn” when you watch movies or TV!
If you’re going to sit and watch something, why not give yourself healthy options?
Strong, Fit and FABULOUS!

Did you know that Up to 60% of the human body is water and the brain is composed of 70% water?
Water is one of the most important things you could possibly do for your body!
KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED!!
And get an early start :)
Since I’m feeling so under the weather today, I thought this chart would be so beneficial.
This is exactly what the doctor tells me every time I go in with a sore throat… so I’m saving myself time and money and actually doing everything on here!
Take care of yourself when you’re sick. If you don’t you will just get worse, and that is no fun at all, trust me I’d rather be out with my friends then in bed downing gatorade and chickenless chicken noodle soup!
Xox Brittany,
Can we talk about lemon slices for a second please?
Every time I try to slice a lemon into a delicate piece like this for a glass of water… it ends up looking like an AX MURDER went at the lemon with a Machete!
Maybe I need to take a cooking class- or a slicing class… does that exist?
Until then I guess my waters will just have to do with Ax Murder slices of lemons.
ANYWAY- Putting lemons and limes into your water is actually really good for you!!
“When life gives you a lemon… squeeze it, mix it with six ounces of distilled water and drink twice daily.”
Adding lemons to your water is a remedy which will prevent disease and assist in cleansing the system of impurities
“So Brittany, I still don’t get it… why is lemon water so great?”
-
provide a natural strengthening agent to the liver enzymes when they are too dilute.
-
The liver can make more enzymes out of fresh lemon juice than any other food element.
- The lemon helps fix oxygen and calciums in the liver because it regulates blood carbohydrate levels which affect the blood oxygen levels.”
Even if you’re not the best lemon slicer like me, squeeze it- dice it- or AX it in there whenever you can!
