My Blog’s One Year Old! (Giveaway post)

Happy Birthday, Healthy Twists!

Photo source.
Yes, I started this blog one year ago today. I wasn’t sure what exactly I was doing when I wrote my first post, and sometimes I think I still don’t! But I’ve had some great fun, met some awesome bloggers (both through our blogs and some in real life!), and [...]

Spur-of-the-Moment Detox Program

How is everyone’s week going? I am going to an open house tomorrow morning for the grad school program I’m interested in, so I’m a little nervous about that BUT I found out of my oldest friends (as in, I’ve known her the longest, she’s my age!) will be there too, so that’s pretty rad.
As [...]

It’s A New Day

You know that song, “it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day…”? I think it’s from Dreamgirls but I haven’t actually seen the movie so I could be wrong.
2009 was a pretty good year for me, everything sort of stayed status quo but a few noteworthy events did take place (hope so, right!?!)
Looking back [...]

New Jam, New Fruit, and Friendly Farmers

Remember yesterday? Man, seems like a long time ago, huh? I asked for guesses on what was in my breakfast (other than the obvious cereal yogurt, flax):

Well, it wasn’t sweet and sour sauce or ketchup, but this gem I picked up on Monday and I went with my bestie Cara on a day trip to [...]

Playing Ketchup

Just kidding, this isn’t really a post about playful condiments. But I am a word nerd, through and through, so the title was funny to me! This post is really a “catch up” on a few things that I’ve been meaning to blog about, but haven’t done yet.
1. Blogger meet-up
Over the weekend, I had the [...]

Spicy Oatmeal Success!

There are a bunch of foods I didn’t eat before I started reading food blogs. Or at least, not nearly as much as I eat them now (or WILL be eating them again after next Friday when my bootcamp is OVAH!!). These include: almond butter, banana-PB oatmeal, pumpkin anything, Greek yogurt, kale chips (which is [...]

Aw, Shucls. Thanks Guys!!

Hello! Tonight, since I’m still not really cooking or eating much of anything worth mentioning, I thought I’d talk about some cool blogger stuff I’ve been gifted recently. I’m still planning on sharing my thoughts on my running, but I really want it to be it’s own post. So maybe tomorrow?
First, I realized I [...]

“Hallie Likes It” Giveaway

Welcome to my first post on my “new” blog! Thanks for coming over from wherever you came
In order to celebrate the fact that I’ve hit 100 posts as a blogger, and the fact that I finally moved to my own self-hosted website, I put together a little giveaway. Basically, I grabbed a bunch [...]

Micro-blogging the Grand Canyon

Is anyone else as looking forward to the weekend as I am?
Well, I always look forward to the weekend. Originally I had no plans but now I’m hanging out with a friend on Saturday and going to a little housewarming party on Sunday. Social events like parties kinda stress me out since my diet program [...]

Informed Decisions: Organic or No?

I’m alive! My vacation was a lot of fun but it ended too soon, as vacations tend to do, right? We took some cool photos that I’ll share later this week. I didn’t snap any food photos, but I’m happy to report that I stuck to my meal plan fairly well, thanks to all my [...]
