If you have been following my blog, you may remember when I first received this workout in the mail with my Challenge pack from Beachbody .  Yesterday I completed my 21 Day Fix Challenge and I have to say that this is one workout that is now in my top 5!  For anyone new to clean eating, and exercising in general, I can easily see how the weight will drop in such a short time.  I, myself, didn't see any significant drop in weight, but I did see an improvement in my overall body.  I saw an overall toning that resulted in my clothes fitting a heck of a lot better. Simple Fitness: The 21 Day Fix is broken up into six easy to follow workouts: Total Body Cardio, Upper Body, Lower Body, Cardio, Pilates, and Yoga.  Each workout is limited to 30 minutes per day.  The secret to how these are more effective than most workouts is simple - each workout engages multiple muscle groups which causes more calories to burn.

I won't lie...when I saw the title and the cover of this book I couldn't resist downloading a copy and doing a review on it.  I love to cook, but my schedule doesn't often allot me time in the kitchen to make what I want.  Being on a clean diet, this can cause issues if I don't schedule the time to plan ahead.  This book has given me a lot of great ideas for fast meals on the fly when I don't have a lot of time; and the bonus - you have to cook them one at a time so this is perfect when you are the only one eating.  You can guarantee I will definitely be trying out many of these recipes!

A wonderfully unique and unexpected collection of desserts that showcase spice over sugar, with 80 recipes that both reinvent classic sweets and introduce more unusual spice-infused desserts. In Sugar and Spice, veteran food editor and recipe developer Samantha Seneviratne invites readers to explore a bold new world of spice-centric desserts. Each chapter centers on a different spice--some familiar, like vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger; others less expected (especially in sweet preparations), such as peppercorns, chiles, and cardamom. With fascinating histories, origin stories, and innovative uses for each spice, this book will inspire readers to rediscover and re-stock their spice drawers, and raise their desserts up to a whole new level of flavor. This collection of desserts intrigued me mainly due to the name.  It is beautifully illustrated and is separated into chapters by a specific ingredient (i.e. cinnamon, ginger, cardamon, chile, etc).  Each sectio...
