Lately I have been addicted to those new egg bites from Starbucks! They are the perfect on-the-go snack and relatively healthy. It’s actually a surprise I have been able to eat them as any scrambled eggs or quiche like item would make me super nauseous since I got sick. But (knock on wood) I think…
I Miss You.
Lately I’ve been missing dance so very much. I’m realizing it’s been 4.5 years since I got laid off my teaching jobs and pretty much said goodbye to the dance world. It’s a life I can barely remember, and one that doesn’t even feel tangible anymore. I started dancing at age 5 because my mom…
A Somewhat Traumatic Experience
I’m realizing it’s been about a year since I’ve shared anything with you all. To say life has been difficult is a bit of an understatement. I have had many ah-ha moments as far as treatment & health discoveries (which I will share with you later), but what we have had to go through the…
Sweet Greens Juice
It’s been a while since I posted. Life has been tough the last month & a half, but I promise to post a treatment update soon! For now, here is one of my favorite juices to make. I haven’t been juicing as much the last 6 months as I was trying to lay off the…
The Best Day of My Life
September 26th, 2015 was the best day of my life! Why? Because I married my best friend in Maui, Hawaii!!! Ruben and I had been planning this wedding for a year and a half and wanted to make it something to remember. We have been through so much over the last couple years with my…
Treatment Update
Since June 2014 I have been treating Lyme with oral antibiotics. So much so I barely have room in the pill cabinet for another bottle. For insurance purposes treating orally is rather cost effective (since we have good insurance), but the side effects of the antibiotic and the die-off symptoms are just awful. This time…
Coconut 6 Grain Oatmeal
Lately I have grown to have an obsession over oatmeal for breakfast. I don’t remember being a big oatmeal kid growing up, but if I ate it, it was packed with brown sugar and all the extra processed stuff you don’t need. Now at 29, I finally understand the real way to eat oatmeal! This…
Cashew Carrot Ginger Soup with Brown Rice & Lentils
The days are growing colder as we approach the holidays and all I want is cookies, pasta, and things I can’t eat. So I’m trying to find comforting meals that are easy to cook, don’t take too many ingredients (helps save the bank) and will keep my belly happy. I stumbled upon this recipe on…

Sometimes you just need a little something to get you by.
Little Something to Reflect On
When your life gets destroyed from an illness it’s kind of a blessing in a way, for all these reasons Amie Valpone, from the Healthy Apple, describes. It opens up your eyes to the small things in life; what you couldn’t see before because your vision was clouded. I hate this disease and everything that comes…
No Brain Power
A bit foggy in the head today to write so thought I would post something that makes me smile. Meet my adorable kittens Piña and Dash. 🙂
My Adventure to Diagnosing Lyme Disease
Hi! My name is Christin and I am a dancer, creator, fiancé, and owner of two cute fuzz balls. I’ve lived in Seattle my whole life and consider myself to be an outgoing, fun, down to earth person with a bit of a clean freak problem. I’ve always loved to dance and knew at a young…
