Houston: Trellis Spa Review

This past Saturday, my sister cashed in my birthday gift to her (back in April) for a day at Trellis Spa at the Houstonian. If you've ever had the opportunity to go to this spa, you know you're in for a treat! It's the best spa I've tried out, although I haven't been to many. This is your top choice in Houston though, from location, to...

Houston: Yard House Review

So.... My birthday just passed and I took some downtime just to sit around and do nothing, which equates to a good birthday - ignoring the world and just taking some time for myself.

So I researched a couple...

Ruuska Fire Dill Pickles Review

Pickles are a fun crunchy food to eat when that primal instinct of a need to crunch and chew starts calling. Instead of parking my butt on the couch with a bag of potato chips, pickles are a more refreshing and flavorful alternative. I passed by some unique pickles, Ruuska All Natural Pickles in Fire Dill flavor, while at Central...

BCAA Gummies Recipe

So I follow Soohee Fit on Facebook since I'm a client of hers and she had a recent post about a genius idea: BCAA gummy bears. I've read that BCAAs are great to help with recovery and maintaining muscle mass, especially on rest days and thought, what a great idea to eat beneficial candy! The original recipe comes from Scivation using...
