It’s officially been over three months since the procedure and here are the my breast fat transfer results – finally! In February, I decided to have fat transferred to my breasts. You can read about that more in depth here, but basically after nursing two kids – my boobs were pretty wrecked. They just had no shape and very little tissue. I researched breast implants, but after doing a deep dive, I decided they were completely unsafe and just not for me. So I ended up getting a fat transfer! How much was transferred and my cup size increase I saw Dr. Bednar, THE preeminent breast fat transfer doctor in the country. Dr. Bednar is known for his ability to create shape, increase retention rates and harvest fat off of very thin women. At the time of my surgery, I was an athletic 5’6 and 122 pounds. And a very,…

How To Prevent Stretch Marks During Pregnancy
Learn how to prevent stretch marks by optimizing your nutrition and focusing on nutrient-dense and supportive foods like collagen. Here is how I prevented stretch marks while pregnant: Before I got pregnant, something in the back of my mind worried about my body changing. I think most women are like this, but I was particularly concerned. When my mother was pregnant with my little brother, she routinely told me how disgusting she felt. “I feel fat.” “My body is so gross right now.” I heard this constantly. Even at five years-old, I remember her saying these things about her pregnant body. They always stuck with me. Additionally, my mother had some of the worst stretch marks I’d ever seen. I didn’t mind them, they were just a part of her body. But she hated them. And to be honest, if I put myself in her shoes, I wouldn’t like them…

Sheet pan meals in general and this healthy paleo chicken sheet pan dinner, in particular, are my latest obsession. Now that my boys are both super mobile – they’re 3 and 18 months, I don’t have the same time frame to make elaborate roast chicken dinners. When I had one kid or even when the baby was still a baby, I had time to sautee the peppers and onions or lovingly toss the chicken in a skillet. That time is now usually spent at a park trying to prevent toddlers from running into traffic. That’s not even an exaggeration. My youngest thinks this is a fun game to play. Reasons to cook more sheet pan dinners: Trust me, having a couple of easy recipes like these…
How and Why You Should Have a Daily Lunch Salad
Is eating a salad for lunch everyday healthy? Here’s the low down on lunch salads plus healthy lunch salad ideas that are quick and easy to make ahead. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have a big ass salad for lunch almost every day. So many people get caught up on lunch. They don’t bring food to work and then end up ordering out or eating food in the office – neither of which is as healthy (or cheap!) as simply packing your own salad. Why you should have a lunch salad every day: It’s cheaper. Many people find themselves at the local cafeteria, coffee shop or ordering PostMates for lunch. Buying lunch daily seriously adds up. Statistics vary, but the average cost of buying lunch runs around $12. That’s $60 per week. That’s $3,120 on lunch alone! Now consider that making your own lunch salad…
