There was a slight chill in the air this week as I left for work this week. For me, that means it is time to pull out the Hot Chocolate. I will use any and all excuses to drink a steaming cup of cocoa. It’s just so good! While “regular” Hot Chocolate is amazing, it’s […]
If you are new to fitness (or you’re like me and you’re “new” to fitness several times a year), you may need to restock on some of the fitness essentials. I have compiled a list of my favorite workout necessities to get you back on track with your fitness goals. Athletic Accessories *This post […]
I adore shopping! New clothes can make you feel confident, attractive, and sometimes even like a whole new person. But unfortunately, my wallet is not as big as my fashion obsession. As it turns out, I am not alone in this predicament. There are hundreds of thousands of fashionistas out there who walk through the […]
The October 2018 session of General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was incredible to witness. We heard from many men and women who have been called of God to lead and guide the Church in these days. One of these men was the Lord’s chosen living prophet. How grateful I […]
It’s that time of year again: Fall, aka Pumpkin season! It’s the time of year when pumpkin flavored treats and scents litter the shelves of grocery store and make their way onto every restaurants’ menus. There’s a good reason for that- pumpkin is delicious! I adore buying pumpkin flavored, scented, or shaped items from stores, […]
Some days I feel like I’m literally going to die from the pain. Other days, I struggle to feel or focus on anything at all. I never thought I would find myself here, and I don’t know how I’m going to move forward from this. I’m a wreck, and even as I try to smile […]
My boyfriend and I recently broke up, and the weeks since then have been the hardest weeks of my entire life. There really is no way to adequately express the heartbreak that comes from losing the most important person in your life. Some days I think it would help if I were angry or if […]
4th of July is next week and the Crouch family is SUPER excited! Partially because we love celebrating freedom with fireworks and partially because we are having our summer family reunion next week! We are super excited to be able to spend this holiday together for the first time in years. With a large family […]
Well, Father’s Day is just around the corner and just like every year I am sitting here trying to decide what to get my amazing dad for Father’s Day. Men are so hard to buy for-especially men you care about! Since I was searching for gifts anyway, I decided to round up my top picks […]
Pilates. What mental images does that word bring to your mind? For me, I think of rich, snooty, brainless blondes from some of the chick flicks that I have watched over the years. It brings to mind a passtime for wealthy people who have nothing else to do with their time. I never considered it […]
Maize Food Truck catered to our office building today, which was a pleasant surprise as I forgot to pack my lunch. They primarily cater street tacos and quesadillas. I ordered three of the street tacos and was happy to find the service was really quick. I had my food in a matter of minutes and […]
Madison and I went to dinner this week to get a break from work and school stress. We are both Mexican foodies so we decided to give Mi Ranchito in Orem, UT a try. The restaurant was pretty full when we got there but we were still seated quickly. I also wanted to mention the […]
Over the last few months, I have seen pictures promoting this new ice cream bar in Provo known as The Sweet Cream Bar. The pictures have tantalized me with their delicious looking pastry cones and mounds of soft serve piling out of the top. My sisters and I have been wanting to try this place […]
One of my favorite local Utah events is the Holi Festival of Colors hosted one weekend every spring at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. This event was founded on the Hindu tradition of families and friends gathering to throw colored cornstarch into the air around a fire in celebration of the […]
In the midst of Women’s History Month, I have spent quite a bit of time reflecting on my gender and what it means to be a woman in the world today. As a kid, I was about as much of a tomboy as they come. I loved baiting my own fishing hook, I refused to […]
