This has been a great day and it’s only 6pm! Kicking the weekend off with some fast and furious hot yoga, at my favorite Charlotte yoga studio, has become something of a ritual. It took a little begging and bribery, but Caitlin came along too. As evidenced by this picture, I had my a$$ handed […]

Finally, I am sharing what I have learned about Candidiasis. It should go without saying that your healthcare diagnoses and treatment decisions should be determined by a licensed practitioner—not a healthy living blogger. What follows is my interpretation of information I’ve come across on the internet. Now that I’ve totally discredited myself, I hope you […]

Engagement Weekend in Asheville: EATS!

April 27, 2011

It’s surprising that a small town in the NC mountains would have by far, the healthiest and most diverse restaurant scene in the state. As a vegetarian and a self-proclaimed food-snob, I’m never disappointed when eating in Asheville. I currently live in the largest city in North Carolina and it only has one vegetarian restaurant.

Where to begin?! To say this weekend was amazing would be an understatement. Better descriptors are romantic, perfect, magical, and surreal. As I said in my engagement post, Isaac instructed me to pack my bags because we were going away for the weekend. He didn’t tell me what was planned, but suggested I wear clothes […]
