What A Nutritionist's Daughter Eats

If you ever wonder what a nutritionist's daughter eats, this is something along the lines of what it looks like: From left to right: Noodles, No-Salt-Added Stew [Pork, Tomatoes, Edamame, Carrots], Baby Bok Choy— all on an alphabet plate! :>— accompanied by Whole Milk.

You've got your carbs, protein, vegetables, fiber, rainbow, fat, calcium, and explosion of taste. It's a win-all situation— good and good for you!

So what are you feeding yourself and/or your kids these days? Comment below, we'd love to hear! :>

The Final Outcome Of Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong confesses. Finally. What a relief! To everybody. Believers, non-believers, those sued, the integrity of the Tour de France, the 'second place' runner-ups, himself!, his family, and, most importantly, his five children!

While there is obvious reason to be upset at Lance— he lied, he cheated, he attacked, he stole— there are also lessons to gain and perhaps things to be thankful for, including these...

Public Figures Are Human Too. Putting too much faith in public figures can be dangerous if you uphold them to a higher level, seemingly beyond human, which many fall prey to. Perhaps, yes, they can be classified in a different category than the 'average human', given income level and media attention, but nonetheless, however much fame and fortune, they are still human, have their flaws, and will make mistakes just like the rest of us. The scale in which they do might just be exacerbated by the aforementioned 'un-averageness'.

If It's Too Good To Be True, It Is. We all love a fairy tale story, a story of heroism and greatness, and want so much to believe in them, perhaps, because they give us hope and inspiration. If the story does that— motivates and makes us a better version of who we are— then the story has done its job and take it for just that.

Media Literacy! It needs to be an ongoing requirement in our educational system. And so does psychology and understanding mental illness for that matter. Perhaps, then, maybe so many wouldn't be so shocked and outraged. For children, it's different and they are excused as they are still heavily in the process of basic learning and don't know any better. But by the time we reach adulthood, we should be decently able to distinguish between fantastical and reality. Winning the Tour de France seven times? Sounds pretty fantastical. Reference to previous point.

As for psychology and mental illness? The extremist nature of this whole story seems like it could only have been crafted by a man (or inkling of?, whichever) who has a serious mental disorder, including extreme narcissism and hero syndrome. Does everyone get that or does everyone just choose to be angry. Granted, it's 'easy' to blame fault on the intangible, so-called illness of the mind, but the mind is a very powerful and still highly enigmatic portion of our anatomy.

Focus On The Good And The Future. Thankfully, no one was hurt, at least not physically in this whole mess. Cancer patients and their families, amongst others, at least, however, found comfort, hope, and strength in Lance's story, whether or not it was true, in the times they really needed it. Livestrong has helped thousands, if not millions, in the fight against cancer. Just see what they've done.

None of us are perfect. That doesn't excuse what Lance did but do you believe in forgiveness? Comment below and share your thoughts, we'd love to hear what you have to say!

New Year's Resolutions and Goals!

Some of you might be reading the title of this post and be thinking: New Year's Resolutions?? That was two weeks ago, that's so old news! Tis the season to post about... Valentines Day! :>

While it may seem late, though, I think this is actually the perfect time to talk about resolutions and goals. People are too busy with family, traveling, shopping, and the holiday hubbub to seriously think about the new year and reflect on the past one. Or at least I am. So, as about 50% maybe? lop off and completely forget about their resolutions, I set out to both start and share mine, as I'm in it for the long haul, the whole year, the whole life, in fact.

I approached my new year's resolutions/goals via various categories of my life— health, social, recreational, career etc. This is not the only way to do it, it's just how I did.

I used to be against new year's resolutions but have changed my mindset and approach about it. You should continually be trying to improve yourself (and there's always need for improvement! always!) but really take the time to reflect on both the good and not-so-good of the past and how you can make the future even better.



So what are your HealthyButJuicy resolutions and goals this year? Comment below! We're always curious to hear what people are working on and thinking. Perhaps it might be something we have to add to our list! :>

Cheers! And thanks for watching, visiting, and reading!

Happy Healthy Juicy New Year! Wishing you lots of laughs and accomplishments in this new year!

Prevent Chapped Lips Forever!

The cold season is cumbersome enough, with snow storms, frigid temperatures, short daylight, and the like. But your juicy lips don't have to suffer any longer! Nor do you have to waste your time, effort, and money on lip products like chapstick, lip balm, lip scrubs that don't work!

Follow this simple routine and you'll be kissable year round no matter what! :>

Enjoy! And thanks for watching!

Life Lessons From Tate Stevens

Tate Stevens just won the X-Factor and I, along with many others, am very proud of him. X-Factor told a great story this season and taught a great lesson: It's Never Too Late.

Recovery is a fight, a struggle, a journey. There are ups and downs, and it wastes a lot of time. Pulling yourself out of the deep throes of whatever you're in is rewarding and liberating but I cannot deny the aftertaste isn't always minty fresh than if you never had to bother to begin with.

I left work today feeling pretty upset. It's an ongoing torment— a decade-worth of life, laughs, 'self-empire building'— including esteem, confidence, and career— all down the drain. But Tate reminds us, or me anyway...

It never hurts to try Hard work pays off Love hard Good things happen to good people Dreams do come true It's never too late

Are you living your dreams? If not, what's stopping you?

Baby's First Year TAG Video!

While being a first-time parent can be fun, exciting, and full of joy, it can also sometimes be a little overwhelming, considering all the things you have to learn and choices you have to make.

As a first-time parent, I rely on my skills to do research, as well as experienced family members, friends with little ones, and any other parent who's open to sharing with me their experiences. The latter, in particular, is a favorite. What are real parents actually doing these days with their kids? What works? What doesn't? What's good? Is this normal? So on and so forth. Since there's no one way to parent, it's our jobs as parents to try to research the options and find what works best for our children and it's our goal to bring out the best in them and to raise happy, healthy (and juicy :>) citizens :>

Hillary was right— it takes a village. So with my love of asking questions and love of hearing what other parents have to say, I created this TAG (video), which consists of 25 questions related to you as the parent as well as baby's latest developments. The TAG's called Baby's First Year but many of the questions apply to older tots as well, so please don't feel excluded!

Please do and share this tag! we'd love to hear your responses and I'm sure there are other parents out there who would too!

Enjoy and thanks for watching!
