I stopped in Eye Inspire Wellness for the grand opening. Tasted a frozen sangria mocktail which was absolutely delicious. Left with an equally tasty hibiscus tea mixed with lemonade.

You have until 6pm today, Saturday, 12/6/2025 to pop in and have a chance to win several raffles.

Yesterday after getting off work and picking up my youngest from aftercare, I had less than an hour to cook and feed them before leaving for Bible study.

This sticky chicken is a quick meal and always a hit. The boys had it with mashed potatoes and cucumber salad. I had cilantro lime rice with brussels sprouts and carrots.

Having a list of quick and easy meals to pull from is essential to eating healthy most of the time.

Comment below if you’d like a list of some of my go-to meals.

My lil feelings got hurt today because I just knew I was going to get a chicken strawberry salad at the Saints game like last year. Only to find a house salad and sweet potato salad that didn’t look half as good as the old one at a higher cost…

What better way to stay cool than fresh juice and smoothies. Kyle had stressless. I had energizer and a wellness shot. Kam went with the mango magic. Next stop is Moncus Park playground.

Scratch Farm Kitchen never disappoints, so I brought the boys for the first time. They ordered a breakfast burrito with chicken and rated it a 9/10 and 10/10. I had the hash bowl with bacon. Kam asked if we could come back for lunch and dinner. I wish..

BMI is only one measure, and no it’s not fully representative of health status.

It’s not for black women. It’s also not useful for people with a high muscle mass such as athletes. That said, a lot of people are still overweight by other measures.

You should know your waist to hip ratio, percent body fat, blood pressure, A1C, lipid levels for a better idea of your metabolic health.

Although I personally don’t focus a lot on BMI, I still calculate it. If yours is above 30 then your health and risk of chronic disease would likely benefit from some weight loss.

Body mass index, or BMI, is a screening tool to identify whether an adult is at a healthy weight or at risk for heart diseases or stroke. If based on your height and weight you are at moderate or high risk, losing weight and keeping it off can help. Start with small steps, like moving more and sitting less every day.
