Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Real talk, I'm not a big veggie eater.
Especially before I started being healthier.

I used to think that in order to be healthy I just meant you had to have salads all day everyday.
but the thing was I just never got creative with my vegetables! I never tried new recipes.

Today I'm on day 2 of my 3-day cleanse. And I have to share one of my favorite recipes from the dinner list. Because honestly I could eat this salad all the time 🙌

Cucumber tomato salad
Ingredients
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium cucumber, cubed
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tbsp  Italian seasoning
1 dash Himalayan sea salt

Directions
Combine the vinegar, lemon juice and oil in a small bowl mix up and set aside. combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl mix well and drizzle with dressing. Toss it gently and enjoy!

Breathless Riviera Cancun

T his past weekend, my husband and I were able to get away with a few friends to enjoy some sunshine in Mexico. Let me just say it was a much needed relaxing getaway.  Marriage is hard. Add kids into the mix, its pure chaos. We decided to get married and have kids STAT. We knew that's what we wanted and thankfully God liked our plan. But with that came struggle. We barely knew how to live with each other and love each other let alone balance other human beings. We made it a goal to go on one vacation each year, just us -- A getaway so we can reconnect and get time just us. This year we went big! My 30th, his birthday, our anniversary we had lots to celebrate so we went back to one of our FAVORITE locations: Breathless Riviera Cancun. If you’ve never been to Mexico, put this place on your list. I will warn you however, you get spoiled.  Let me share with you my favorite things about this resort!  This resort is newer (roughly 5 years). It is an all inclusive, ad...

Growing a Healthy Marriage

If you've been following my weekly marriage posts, then you've seen my top tips. Truthfully it doesn't get more basic than that. A good marriage doesn't happen by chance. It happens because TWO people are willing to fight for each other. Everyday they choose each other. && everyday your marriage can get better.

Some days I cry. Some days we struggle. But through it all, we walk together for each other. We've been through good, bad and ugly. We've had our fair share of arguments and disagreements (and i'm sure we have plenty more to come). At the end of the day I remember its him and I & I make a decision to choose us. If you want to work on growing your relationship it starts with YOU! When you can fully love yourself, the love you have to give ...
