I woke up this morning feeling green. Well my juice was certainly green: And somehow dinner ended up in the same shade of the rainbow: Zucchini noodles with pesto and rice (plus a little avocado on the side)

Hi, my name is Jordan, and I am a 29 year-old yogi. At the start of this blog I was a half marathoner, and while I may not be running around anymore, I still have plenty of steps to take, so come join me :)
A long day of shopping
It was a full day of shopping for wedding event outfits, complete with a water break or two.
A Comforting Smell
Whenever we go on hikes Dave (my fiance) is bound to identify some plant that has some medicinal purpose, a story, a great smell, or even all three. He pauses wherever we are in conversation, bends down, and promptly begins to tell the tale of the plant, divulging its secrets and purpose. Now, without pause, whenever …
Countdown
We have officially passed 100 days until the wedding! I've taken care of my beautiful bridesmaids and their dresses, I've played around with my hair and makeup, and I have ordered countless goodies from the internet. These online purchases even include elegant table numbers all the way from Ukraine!
Restless
My legs are restless. They last through my morning walks to work, my mid-day yoga practice and my evening strolls back home.

I didn’t feel like cooking again
I'm getting ready for our studio's yoga retreat this weekend in the Dominican Republic and I haven't felt like cooking. I've been getting things in order before I leave, taking care of studio tasks and working on my upcoming June wedding. Creating recipes has certainly taken a back seat this week. So tonight was a grocery store …
When I Don’t Feel Like Cooking
I really enjoy cooking. Whether it's throwing something together that I made up, or following a recipe ingredient by ingredient, I am happy in the kitchen. However, I'm only human and sometimes I'm lazy. That's when I throw things together for a meal. Like this dinner of cooked quinoa that I made the other night, …
When It’s Below Freezing
So far this winter has been quite mild. Having grown up in New Jersey I know the bitterness of a supremely cold and snowy winter. Thankfully the past few months have seen the depths of a true winter kept at bay. However, this weekend is revealing the true colors of winter with temperatures in the …
