Skincare during pregnancy, general routine, and a few tips
I’ve been meaning to do a skincare post for a while, but somehow just never got around to it until now! I am no stranger to having skin issues, as you can see! The left is me with makeup on two years ago, edited to make the breakout seem better than it was. The right is me a few weeks ago (I look the same now, I promise) with no makeup on and no editing done. And I’m pretty sure I had also just woken up, ha! Suffice it to say, though, my skin has drastically improved in the last few years. First off, I have had a few people…

Paleo Recipes: Essentials for Breakfast and Life
Today I want to share with you two recipes that are essential, in my opinion, to eating and cooking Paleo. First up is one of my absolute favorite things to eat for breakfast now. Not only is it delicious, but it combines three of my favorite foods — bacon, tomatoes, and avocado — and one food that I hated until I started eating clean — eggs. So, funny story: this morning, I got so stressed out over a picture of an egg I wanted to irritated-pregnant-woman-hormonal-cry about it. See, I have never been a very gifted egg flipper. In all my years of attempting to fry a good egg, they…

Meals made Paleo: Spaghetti (squash) and Green Beans (with bacon)
Planning to blog about Paleo recipes has definitely confirmed two things so far: 1. I am not a food photographer. At all. You guys, I blame it on the terrible light in our house and the fact that we only have ONE window downstairs. And also, because I’m usually too busy with cooking to set up good pictures. You know. And 2. I really, really need to remember to measure things while cooking, because otherwise it’s just a guesstimate when it comes time to share the recipe. Oops. Ever since I was little, spaghetti has been one of my absolute favorite meals. Growing up only changed one thing– now I…

Quick Recipe: Indian-inspired Paleo Coconut Chicken
I was going to share a makeup tutorial/update with you today, but I partially don’t have time to do the editing, and also… I just made myself lunch and you guys: I am a good cook. If I do say so myself. Haha! And this was so good, I just had to share. So forgive the iPhone picture; I wasn’t planning on blogging my lunch today. I finally finished up looking through all of my cookbooks for Paleo-friendly recipes (or recipes that can be easily made Paleo), and the one I ended on was Indian food. So today when I got home from Bible study, of course… I wanted Indian…

Cold days and paleo plans
You guys, it is COLD. Finally! I lucked out and snagged these pictures RIGHT before it started to downpour (again), and I have a feeling that the weather is going to be really temperamental for the next few days. Last night, the torrential rain came in 3-5 minute intervals. Today, I think it’s rained five times since I’ve gotten up, with broken clouds in between. But I love it. As you know, I’ve been really hot through pregnancy so the cool weather is welcome! If you’ve been around long enough, you know that a few months ago (okay, like… six) Mr. Owl and I embarked on The Whole 30. If…
