Why you should never eat vegetable oil or margarine

Why You Should Never Eat Vegetable Oil or Margarine

September 26, 2020 by Katie Wells

Aside from whole grains, vegetable oils and margarine are some of the most misunderstood and over-recommended foods in the health community. You’ve probably heard these referred to as “heart-healthy oils,” a good alternative to those “artery-clogging saturated fats.” Only one problem…. science doesn’t back these claims up! Vegetable oils are found in practically every processed …

September 5, 2020 by Katie Wells

I struggled to lose weight for most of my adult life and only reached a healthy weight within the last couple of years.

Natural Heat Protectant Spray for Hair

July 9, 2020 by Katie Wells

Let’s face it: no matter how au naturale we are, most of us still want to walk out of the house with bouncy, gorgeous hair. Unfortunately, this effect most often requires the help of damaging heating tools like blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners. If you’re no stranger to these tools, you probably use some …

Is Grilling Healthy? (+ Grilling Recipes)

May 23, 2019 by Katie Wells

I’m a fan of summer. The beach, the outdoors, more sunshine… not to mention backyard cookouts featuring our favorite mouth-watering BBQ on the grill. While I love a good barbecue (I am a Southern girl, after all), grilling recipes don’t always make for the healthiest meal. For one, most of us grill more meat than …

Why Plastic Pollution Is Everyone’s Problem

April 12, 2019 by Katie Wells

You may know my stance on plastic and that I try to reduce or eliminate it from our home, but the fact is plastic is so pervasive in our modern lives that it’s almost impossible to get away from. Regardless, plastic pollution is a huge (and growing!) problem that we all need to do something …

Why I Eat My Sunscreen to Protect Skin From the Inside Out

April 9, 2019 by Katie Wells

As warmer weather approaches (yay!), it’s time to start thinking about digging out the kids’ clothes, bathing suits, and flip flops. This is also my cue to start getting my skin ready for the sun.

8 Fun Ways to Exercise As a Family

March 26, 2019 by Katie Wells

I remember how easy it was to “work out” in college. For one thing, I was walking miles each week just to get to class, and whenever I got stressed and needed a mental break from homework, I could just go to the gym on campus (for free) and get a workout in. I didn’t …

Whether it’s a recent pregnancy, new job stress, or an underlying health issue, many women complain about a lack of sex drive at some point in their lives.

5 Healthy Habits to Adopt This Year

December 29, 2018 by Katie Wells

We are nearing the time of year when we make lists of all the things we have resolved to change (and which two-thirds of us will fizzle out on within the first month). The problem with resolutions is that often we make multiple major and life-altering changes and expect them to happen overnight. Then, frustration hits …

8 Benefits of Sardines (& How to Make Them Taste Great)

November 30, 2018 by Katie Wells

Let me guess, you are one of two kinds of people when it comes to sardines: You love them and eat them regularly Or you can’t stand them and don’t even know why you are reading a post about them. Statistically, it’s likely you are in the latter group, as 73% of people claim to …

Lab Tests You Can Order From Home (Without A Doctor)

August 27, 2018 by Katie Wells

For years, my own health journey to finally getting a diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease came to a screeching halt because I couldn’t find a doctor in my area who understood thyroid disease and I couldn’t get a referral to a specialist unless I went through a doctor. I also couldn’t get lab tests without a …

Whether you consider yourself to be super crunchy, semi-crunchy … or just kind of soggy, hydrogen peroxide is one of those items that most of us keep around in our home.
