Hey there! My name is Laura and I’m a Manifesting Generator with a hermit / opportunist profile and emotional authority. Okay, so this post is going to be a bit different than the traditional nutrition, health and recipe posts I do but human design is a HUGE part of wellness. To most of you this … …

That crisp Fall air is rolling in here in the Pacific Northwest and I’ve been craving comfort food! Growing up my mom used to make stuffed peppers pretty much weekly as they were a fan favorite. I always associate stuffed peppers with coming home after basketball practice with a huge appetite on a cold winter … …

Y’all I finally perfected the crisp! I have been experimenting with different types of gluten free, “healthier” crisps for awhile now and FINALLY found the winner! This past weekend we went to an organic u-pick farm right outside of Portland and got a mixture of honey crisp and gala apples, these just so happen to … …

One trend I am seeing with almost all of my clients is this need to work out and work out HARD. I am talking 5-7 days a week of high intensity training, cardio and lifting weights. The longer the better. When a client tells me how much they are working out I always ask where … …

Fasting is all the hype lately, especially among people in the Keto and Paleo sphere. But is it good for everyone? The short answer. No. And here’s why. You guessed it! Hormones! Fasting is alternating between periods of eating and not eating. For example, the most popular method is the 16/8 where you don’t eat … …

We see the photos all the time, that perfectly curated moleskin notebook with a cup of coffee placed on a perfectly curated table in a beautiful all-white living room surrounded by green plants, typically with a caption all about how self-care is so important and how writing in a journal and meditating every day is … …

Did you know that our body’s needs change throughout the month based on where we are in our menstrual cycle? Unfortunately, this is one way we differentiate from men. Our bodies are NOT meant to slam out an intense workout every single day and guess what, SHOCKER, we NEED carbs! Sure, I am all about … …

Do you find yourself continuously losing and regaining the same 10-15 pounds? If so, this post is for you. I have never been what society would call “thin.” I was born with a booty and curves and I too have lost and gained 10-15 pounds multiple times throughout my life. Weight is something I have … …

The skin is the largest organ of the body. Everything we put on our skin is absorbed directly into our blood stream. We can’t control the chemicals and toxins we are exposed to from the environment but we certainly CAN control what we put on our bodies, in our bodies and what we choose to … …

Real talk. I know being gluten free is trendy and annoying. It almost always makes me the center of attention at family events or when out with new friends. I get millions of questions and feel as if I am on trial for choosing to not eat gluten. I could argue all the reasons for … …

Working from home. Something people don’t talk too much about. Usually you tell someone you work from home and you get the “must be nice.” Guys, I really dislike Must Be Nicers, like as if they are being held captive and can’t do something they want to do. Anyways. What is often not discussed is the challenges, … …

Well, this is certainly not a blog post I ever thought I’d be writing. Yes folks, I got the Shingles! (queue that lame Shingles TV commercial), at this very moment I have a nice scabbed over, itchy rash starting at my belly button and going all the way up the left side of my torso. … …
