    Meet My Snuggles Cat Crew! & Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Hi guys! Happy Valentine’s Day! Since this blog will revolve heavily around my fur babies (the Snuggles half), their life, their health, and my exploration of pet health in general, I thought it only fitting I introduce you to my 5 kitties: Everest, DaVinci, Aria, Kelvin, and Shasta! They’re all almost 3 years old now, so while they’re technically more cats than kittens, you’ll often hear me (read me?) refer to them as my kittens! I can’t help it, no matter how old they get, they will always be my babies! I know I’m not the only one, and also probably not the only one who just freaking loves and wants to share cute photos of their fur babies! 🙂

    Guacamole & Sweet Potato Fries Recipes for the Super Bowl

    In my opinion, the best thing about the Super Bowl is watching the commercials and yummy snacks! Anyone else? There’s plenty of room on the snack table for fun, packaged treats (I’m looking at you, hot Cheetos!), along with a few other fresh, homemade options! Can’t go wrong with some healthy fats and phytonutrients from the avocado in this guacamole, and beta-carotene, Vitamin C, and a whole slew of other vitamins and minerals from sweet potatoes in this sweet potato fry recipe!

    My Article in the Nursing School Newspaper: Natural Ways to Boost Your Immune System

    Hi all! In December of last year, 2017, my last month of nursing school, I wrote this research article, “Natural Ways to Boost Your Immune System,” in the nursing school newspaper. We are definitely in the heart of cold and flu season now! I hear from my nurse friends that the ER has been exceptionally busy lately, full of patients who are suffering from the horrible symptoms of a cold or particularly nasty flu.
