Gift Guide: Valentine’s Day

February 10, 2017

 Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and I could not resist doing a fun little gift guide for it! The following are a little collection of what I think will make amazing gifts for Valentine’s Day. Most of the following are products/services I have already tried in the past and which I think you will love. The beauty about this Valentine’s Day gift guide is that you can sneakily share it on your social media (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and etc) in the hopes that your beloved other half will get the hint and buy you one of these 😉

Or, you could be like me and be straight up about it. “Hey, so I would like you to get me (x product/service). Thank you, love you!” haha.

1. Tru Melange Aromatherapy Candle
I recently bought the ‘litsea & lemongrass’ candle and I love it so much. It gives off such a gorgeous smell and is very calming.

2. ClassPass Giftcard
I have tried ClassPass before and think it is a fantastic way to try out new workout classes around your city. They operate in a huge amount of cities, so I am sure your city is probably included!

3. Inspiralized Cookbook
Inspiralized is an incredible food blogger who specializes in ‘spiralized’ vegetable dishes. I have made a few of her recipes and cannot wait to try the recipes in her cookbook!

4. Paderno Vegetable Spiralizer
Has enabled me to eat mass amounts of zucchini in the form of spaghetti. Need I say more? Incredible little invention.

5. Scattered Crystals Ring – Pink Peonies Collection
Pink Peonies (a Salt Lake City based fashion blogger) recently launched a line of jewelry and I absolutely love this elegant piece.

 6. Four-hand Massage
I have never had a four-hand massage at the Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco before (I would LOVE to), but I have had one in Thailand before at Oasis Spa, Phuket. It was an incredible experience and even better because I had a couple’s four-hand massage with my honey. If you want to splurge on a gift, this is it.

What do you all think of my picks? The pancakes are truly so easy to make and extremely tasty and delicious. Think I might surprise my honey with some of them in bed …

In regards to the gift guide, I would be happy with any of these (although I already have the spiralizer and pre-ordered Inspiralized’s cookbook lol) but I would die if I were gifted the four-hand massage. They are truly a wonderful and relaxing experience.

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day?

Honestly yours,
Alice

SunBasket: Healthy Cooking Made Easy

August 7, 2016

Surprisingly enough, I have been finding it harder to prioritize making healthy meals with a full-time job than when I was doing my master’s degree and had a part-time job. I think the reason for this is because now that I work 8 hours a day, there are no breaks in between where I can go home, make food or workout. I have a pretty strict routine of waking up at 6am (sometimes earlier) to workout, getting ready for work, going to work and coming home. The last thing I want to do after such a long day is making food and meal prepping (and I keep forgetting to on Sunday lol).

Read on to see how I make healthy eating work with a hectic work schedule and how you can get 3 free meals (so you can eat healthy despite your busy schedule too). Continue Reading…

Fast Walking: A fun and active summertime exercise

June 29, 2016

Fast walking–don’t knock it until you try it is all I have to say. Fast walking is a very underrated form of exercise despite the fact that one study found that walking offers the same benefits as running calorie-for-calorie burned, by helping to lower your risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and more. I actually helped contribute on a fun article on 5 Things to Never Say to a Walker for Prevention.com, which you can check out here.

In this blog post, I’m going to give you a couple of suggestions on how to easily incorporate fast walking into your day to help you burn more calories on a daily basis while getting a tan 😉 Continue Reading…
