I was one of those people who went through college still feeling like I had NO idea what I wanted to do “when I grew up.” I originally went to Chico State because of their teaching program, only to change my mind during orientation that I wanted to pursue my passion of graphic design. Two …

Summer means backyard gardens and fresh fruits and veggies from your harvest. My tomatoes are still blossoms, and I can’t wait for them to grow, but these organic beauties from Trader Joe’s were the next best thing I could find for now. Now, the basil? That’s from my beautiful basil plant. All you need are …
Two things I love – pasta and Alfredo sauce. Too bad when you hit 25+ all things go down hill with the “I can eat whatever I want phase.” So, meet Zoodles, which you’ve surely heard about unless you’ve have blinders on throughout the whole clean-eating movement and sliralizer phenomenon. Warm summer nights leave me …
It’s officially the start of summer, and with BBQ season here and in full effect, it’s time for pool parties, margaritas, sunscreen, country music, and cookouts. In my opinion, you can’t have an all-American BBQ without baked beans. GOOD baked beans – not just a boring ‘ol can of them. This recipe will leave all …
When it comes to functional-fitness, let’s be real, the gear is almost just as important as your WOD time or a weight-lifting PR. HYLETE performance apparel is one of my all time fav lines for fitness + lifestyle clothing, accessories and more (think backpacks, headbands, crops, shorts, tanks, crew-necks, tanks, towels, yada yada yada!) Their men …
My neighbor and I decided it’s time to detox away our shenanigans, so this entire week we’re following (and being guinea-pig testers) of a new healthy eating 5-day plan by Seashells and Sit Ups. Today, Monday, was day one, and the dinner menu was healthy lettuce wraps. I was just expecting them to be okay since I …

When I first started Seashells & Sit Ups, I thought no one would read my blog, no one would follow me on Instagram (and I kept it all super secret so they couldn’t; it was like my second life I did for me – to be happy and feel free from judgement, gossip, and criticism)… I …
Being a modern mama in my late 20s, my friends consider me a fun mom, and I’d like to agree. It doesn’t mean Tanner and I just folic all over without a care in the world, as much as I wish that were true. Being a “cool” mama, means you have your sh&^ together and hustle to …
Organic… to save or not to save, that is the question. Money AND your health, that is. It’s no secret that buying organic can often be significantly more expensive than those “regular ‘ol fruits and veggies.” However, a healthy heart, body, and mind thanks to less/safer pesticides should always be at the top of your grocery list. photo, …
