    There’s No Goal Without a Plan

    Wow, its been a hot minute since we’ve last talked, huh? Its just been crazy over here in the world of Mia Bella Lotta, speaking to my personal life. We finally made the big move that Kevin and I had aways talked about doing. We sold our place in the Dogpatch, San Francisco and headed…

  • The Hangover

    The Hangover

    I’ve been sitting here for a couple minutes trying to figure out a clever way to start this week’s post. I scanned the Googles for some smart quotes. I racked the ol’ iceberg in my brain for something witty. Nope. At the end of the day, like the picture above shows, this week has been…

  • Whole30: In Review

    Whole30: In Review

    BRING ME ALL THE CARBS, ALCOHOL, DAIRY, LEGUMES, AND SUGAR! This concludes my personal 34 days on the Whole30 Diet. I guess the Whole34 Diet since I went 34 days. I can say, in all honesty, I was 95% true to the rules of the diet. The 5% I am leaving open for when we…

  • On the Road Again

    On the Road Again

    Initially I started writing this blog last week, but it got sidelined because things got nutty in my personal life. This is just a little caveat because this week’s post may feel a little disjointed since I have been living this for the last 2 weeks. So, in the spirit of lent, please forgive me.…

  • Beauty Sleep

    Beauty Sleep

    For many, many years I have had a lot of trouble falling asleep. Not sleeping, just falling asleep. Once I’m asleep, its all good. Even if I get up in the middle of the night to visit the “Little Lawyer’s Room” or to help my elderly pup use the “Little Weenie’s Room” I have no…

  • I’ve found the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

    I’ve found the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

    Collagen. Okay, maybe I didn’t discover it, but I bet I got your attention. Yep, thats right my first Obsessions review will be on the new (ish) sensational, stay young, hip like slap bracelets in the 90s, product- COLLAGEN PEPTIDES. I say “new(ish)” because collagen has actually been a product that many in the Chinese…

  • Writer’s Block

    Writer’s Block

    I think I need to explain why I was absent the last 2 weeks, completely throwing one of my 2019 NYE Resolutions out the window like some old trash (Please don’t think I throw trash out my window. That would make me a terrible person). I was absent the last 2 weeks from writing because,…

  • 1/25/19

    This weekend we are celebrating our engagement surrounded by our loved ones. Today, there is a lot of family and friends that are coming into town early to spend some quality time with both of us. So this week there won’t be a weekly blog, but next week we are back to our regularly scheduled…

  • Step off the Scale

    Step off the Scale

    I am going to change my usual weekly post where I just go on and on about myself. Recently I read a great article in BRIDES Magazine. I’ve gotten really into this whole wedding planning chapter of my life and have dove head first into all cliches. To be completely honest, this article just really…

  • A Week in My Life

    A Week in My Life

    Before the holidays I touched base in some things going on in my life that have precluded me from being able to hit my goals and, instead, stay stagnant. The main reason being stress, and not just emotional stress, but also physical stress and environmental stress. All 3 of these together, I have come to…
