…health foodie, fitness fanatic, nut butter lover, and obsessed with the color turquoise… or teal. Basically anything that falls in that range. Clothes, kitchen utensils, furniture, you name it. I may or may not have a problem…
Anyways! I enjoy finding ways to create delicious healthy recipes, and sharing those recipes in hopes to inspire others to love living healthy. Healthy food CAN and DOES taste good, I promise.
I’m married to a lovely human being (AKA: Mr. FMK, “the hubs”, or Drew works too) that supports tolerates my crazy, mildly obsessive compulsive ways, and makes me laugh like no other. You’ll probably read about some of the things he says on here.
+ Circuit training
+ HIIT
+ Weightlifting
But I also love being outside so I’m always game for a great hike, a long bike ride, or some kayaking because I love love love the water.
+ Fashion Design & Merchandising, Central Michigan University 2011.
+ I have a serious love for activewear, technical fabrics, and fitness fashion. If I could live in Luon, I would…
+ Fitness fanatic turned NASM certified personal trainer
+ Currently full-time blogger and instructor at FLEXcity Fitness
+ Share with you healthy recipes that inspire you and become a part of your kitchen
+ Motivate you with exercises and fitness tips on how to achieve a healthier, active YOU
+ Spread the overall importance of living a healthy, active, and balanced life.

I understand that being “healthy” is different for everyone. MY healthy may not be YOUR healthy, and that is perfectly okay. But I do believe a diet in whole foods and a lifestyle that includes exercise IS FOR EVERYONE. You’d be surprised at how changing your diet can alter so many different areas in your life. From noticing a change in your energy levels, to less headaches, to just having a more positive outlook on life. Food and fitness play such an important role!
On my blog you’ll find approachable recipes made with real ingredients. I don’t follow one particular style of dieting, because… well basically I like too many kinds of foods 🙂 And I also understand what works for one person doesn’t work for everyone. Finding a balance that works for you personally is what’s important. I don’t really believe in juice cleanses, week long detoxes, or restricting foods for no particular reason. I believe in mindful eating, moderation, and just doing your best every day. From paleo to vegan to low-carb and everything in between, I feel there is room for it all. Plus, I have a mean sweet tooth that I like to satisfy with some healthy baked goods.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you’ll stick around!
