For a long time, I didn’t celebrate holidays at all. My family didn’t decorate the house or dress up or play holiday tunes while I was growing up. I would look to friends in awe off their family’s traditions and celebrations and long for something special. It wasn’t until I was in high school that my family started to get together with extended family for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. As a kid, I had established expectations from movies of what the holidays should look like. Now, I find myself in a rushed state of activity that I worry the holidays will just blow past me before I get a chance to sit down. The thing is, there are a handful of qualities that make the holidays special.
For anyone who has longed for more or can’t manage to find enjoyment in the holidays, for whatever reason, I hope this list helps!
Also, let me begin by saying YOU are special. You don’t need the verification of gifts or other hoopla to confirm that. Still, I know that if you’re reading this you’re interested in how we can increase our satisfaction with the holiday season.
Here are some ideas:
If you’re like me and live in a hot desert town, then you long for a snowy cold Christmas. I don’t have tricks to make snow happen (though cranking the air conditioning might help) but try bringing the festivity indoors! Decorate your house, bedroom, office space—heck, even your bathroom! It’ll add some cheer to the places you spend the most time.
Try lighting some candles or incense that add freshness to the air and encourage positive feelings. Think: peppermint, pine, cedarwood, eucalyptus, or other fresh scents!
MUSIC. Blast those tunes. Throwback to TSwift’s ’06 Christmas album right here…
What are your favorite pastimes? (Perhaps you’ve abandoned that mystery novel you bought at Target—it’s time to start reading it again!) Nothing feels more fulfilling than spending your time doing what you love!
Think about what traditions or activities you loved to do as a kid and recreate those for yourself or for your family. Example: I remember my mom making hot cocoa for me and we would paint bird houses or other knick-knacks to place in our garden.
These drinks don’t require a trip to Starbucks and they’ll brighten up your winter: hot chocolate London fog or apple cider.
I feel like baking is a given but, if not, here it is. When in doubt, bake! Check out some yummy cookie recipes here, here, and here .
Are you watching Hallmark Channel’s Christmas lineup? There are movies airing every single day that are filled with festivity and romance and holiday cheer! If there is one thing I enjoy most about the holidays, it’s watching Hallmark Christmas movies.
Do something nice for someone else. Help your neighbors clean their driveways of snow or offer your time at a nonprofit. The Salvation Army could always use extra hands around the holidays. Or, perhaps, a homeless shelter or other local organization in your area could benefit from your assistance.
Write one or a few Christmas cards to mail out. Your friends, family, or even the troops overseas will appreciate it! Perhaps the last one requires a bit of planning but all-year-round letters are great, too!
It’s okay to recognize that you may be lonely (cue: Lonely People) but you are NOT alone. Call up your parent, sibling, old high school friend, or anyone that you’ve lost touch with. It can be hard to reach out but it is also a joy to hear from someone you used to be close with. Nowadays with the internet, you can also message them on Facebook and plan for a day to meet up. Or schedule a Skype date with long distant friends!
Many times, the people you surround yourself with can influence how you feel. Try connecting with different people in your office or community groups and you’ll find that few people think alike. There are a lot of happy, outgoing people out there and their energy can help boost you up.
At the end of the day, remember that the holidays will pass. Try to find enjoyment in the little things. It might seem like so much is happening right now that you’re not a part of but trust that everything is as it should be.
I’m wishing all of you a happy and wholesome holiday season. Do what brings you joy!
If you’d like, share what you do during the holidays in the comments down below! I’d love to hear how others spend the season. 🙂
Y’all know I’m hardcore into pumpkin these days. I just love my orange vegetables and fall produce is chock full of them. Sweet potatoes, acorn squash, pumpkin, butternut squash—I like them all.
Fun fact: at a recent doctor’s appointment, I was told that my skin color looked a bit orange. The doctor asked if I drink a lot of carrot juice. I haven’t had carrot juice in years but I do eat A LOT of orangey fruit and veg. I tried abstaining from beta carotene rich plants for, like, a week and then luteal phase happened. Soooo I’m in squash heaven right now and will get back to human civilization (aka skin color) sometime in the future.
For now, we have pumpkin pasta to enjoy!
Just like my Broccoli and Carrot Pasta with Parlsey-Cilantro Pesto, this pasta recipe is also adaptable. I like using sage or thyme in this recipe but italian seasoning or curry powder would probably taste really good, as well!
I served mine with some fresh salad greens (as shown) but try mixing in 2 handfuls of spinach! The greens wilt slightly from the heat of the pasta and there is definitely enough pumpkin sauce to go around. It’s super creamy without any milk!
As a finishing touch, I like to toast some walnuts to add a bit of a savory crumble to the dish. You could also just sprinkle more nutritional yeast or some hemp seeds to pump up the protein. Whatever spin you take on this, let me know by tagging me on Instagram or leaving a comment down below. I greatly value your feedback 🙂

Pumpkin Pasta
Recipe Type: Entree
Cuisine: American
Author: Melanie
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
A 2 or 3 oz serving of pasta
1 ½ cup pumpkin puree
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
¼ tsp onion powder
½ tsp ground sage or thyme
¼ to ½ tsp salt
1 tbsp toasted walnuts, for topping
Instructions
Boil a serving of pasta (2 or 3 oz works) until al dente.
In a bowl, mix up 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp ground sage, and salt (I like a scant 1/2 tsp).
When pasta is cooked, reserve half a cup of water before draining.
In the bowl, or the pot you boiled the pasta, add the pumpkin mixture to the pasta. Add 3-4 tbsp of reserved cooking water to create a saucey texture. And you’re finished!
I like to add toasted walnuts to the top but this pasta also tastes delish with spinach mixed in. Feel free to sprinkle extra nutritional yeast, too 😉

If you glance into my fridge, you’re almost guaranteed to see a jar of pesto sitting on the top shelf. I’m constantly making new jars of pesto and/or freezing pesto in an ice cube tray. I buy lots of fresh herbs and, when my stock runs high, I’ll toss them into the food processor with some olive oil for pesto. It’s perfect to have on hand for pasta, salads, and more!
I remember when I first started making pesto I thought it could only be made with basil leaves. Boy, has my mind changed. The classic basil pesto is delicious but I am equally enamored by my favorite parsley-cilantro pesto.
Pesto is super versatile in the sense that you can use any greens you have (hey, kale pesto!). Here are just a few things that make a difference for me when making pesto:
An absolute must for me is toasting the nuts. I know it’s an step you might want to be lazy and skip over. Though, whether you buy raw or pre-roasted nuts, toasting them on the skillet before adding to pesto sauce is the ultimate flavor enhancer.
Don’t skip out on the olive oil. A good quality olive oil really MAKES the pesto. Bad olive oil or all water in the pesto are not going to help it enhance your food.
Salt is a must. Taste as you go along but it’s better to have the pesto slightly salty than not enough salt. The pesto gets mixed into the rest of your food so the saltiness won’t stay so concentrated.
Onto the pasta recipe!

Pumpkin Spice and everything nice is what makes fall feel like FALL for me. Please, hold the eye roll. Evidently, the internet is all hyped about fall these days but let me tell you: I’ve been a fan of fall before it was trendy. Yes, I went there. Fall holds meaning for me even without the glamorized PSL which may actually have a new flavor competitor around—see here. Basically, winter and spring are almost nonexistent in southern California. And summer? No thank you, 120 degree weather.
My dear fall, you are what I look forward to each year. All I need are some breezy cool days where I can wear my cardigan and scarf and sip on my eat my pumpkin coconut treats. HOORAY!
Throwback moment: my favorite childhood snack was the packaged rice krispy treats. Not even the homemade kind! The rice krispy treats in the blue packaging were perfect because of their balance of sweetness and textures—crunchy yet soft! As you know, I like healthifying sweet treats. So, I put a spin on my fave classic WITHOUT marshmallows for some pumpkin coconut NOT SCARY treat fun. I know, it almost sounds sacrilegious. Still, I think you’ll find that these are sweet and satisfying on their own and healthier than the sugar-laden original.
Also, this recipe is a good use for date puree, or, date caramel as Minimalist Baker calls it. Honestly, date caramel is what sweet dreams are made of and I highly recommend making some. Although, if you want to substitute whole dates, you can try 2 (take out the pits!) and blend them up with the pumpkin and coconut oil until smooth.
I know fall is all about baking but make room in your freezer for this no-bake treat! You can thank me later.
Pumpkin Coconut Treat Bars
Recipe Type: Snacks
Author: Melanie
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 8 bars
These Pumpkin Coconut Not Scary Treat Bars are made with ingredients you can recognize. They’re wholesome, satisfying, and no marshmallows are required!
Ingredients
¼ cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup melted coconut oil
2 tbsp almond butter
3 tbsp date caramel
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp allspice
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups Erewhon cinnamon brown rice cereal or other brown rice cereal
2 tbsp sweetened shredded coconut, plus more for topping
Instructions
First up, grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or line with wax paper so that the bars will be easy to remove.
In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin, coconut oil, almond butter, date caramel, and spices. Stir in the brown rice cereal and shredded coconut. Adjust to taste by adding a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of granulated sugar, if needed.
Press the mixture into the loaf pan, making sure to fill the corners. Then, place in the freezer for 2 hours to solidify.
Remove from freezer and cut into 8 squares. The bars taste best when stored in the freezer. Just leave them out to thaw for a minute before you are ready to eat one!
Notes
I used sweetened shredded coconut because I ran out of the unsweetened kind. You could definitely use unsweetened shredded coconut and perhaps add a teaspoon of granulated sweetener like coconut or brown sugar to make the bars sweeter. I just don’t recommend coconut flakes because those will be too thick and chunky for the bars.[br]Additionally, “cook time” reflects time in the freezer. This is a no-bake recipe.
I used to be the girl with the perfect period. In my school years, my friends would talk about missing periods, backaches, cramps, acne, and other uncomfortable period symptoms. My period would come and go in a few short days but I never had problems. Until a few years ago, when I lost my period.
When that happened, I read anything I could find online from WebMD, to small blogs, and even random online forums to just get as much information as I could about why this was happening to me. Admittedly, I know what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for everyone else. The advice I found online was just to eat more or cut out exercise completely but neither of those felt right to me. For nearly two years, I lived without my natural period but I finally found a method that works. My hope is to share my experiences and possibly be a resource to someone else who is struggling with the same problem.
Melanie Tries to Get Fit
First, I’m going to take us back to summer 2015 when I was bright-eyed college student looking for a distraction. I was taking an online class and wanted an activity to break up all of the sitting-at-my-computer-work. Throughout my life, I was never into exercise but, now, I thought it would help me channel my pent up energy and get fit at the same time. I found Tone it Up on YouTube and spent any time I wasn’t working on schoolwork getting sweaty 😉
In fact, I started spending an obscene amount of time working out. I would exercise first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Each day, I would kill 3-4 Tone it Up workout videos like: HIIT, a total body workout, arms, and an ab video. I felt the exercise high for the first time in my life and overdid it big time. I was working out at a high intensity (especially for someone who used to be a couch potato) and consistently did this each day for two months.
Lettuce Eat Low Calorie
Here is the cherry on top: you know how I said I knew nothing about exercise? I also knew zilch about nutrition. Basically, I was aware of calories and I knew that people who wanted to lose weight needed to eat less calories. So, I stayed away from any food with fat and calorie-dense carbs. I used an app called MyFitnessPal on and off to track my calorie intake. It served me well and my proudest days (at the time) were ones where I had calories remaining so therefore I was in a deficit. At the end of a day, on MyFitnessPal, the words “If every day were like today you’d weigh…” came onto the screen and I would either jump for joy or punish myself if I wasn’t happy with the number.
So, to put it plainly, I exercised and starved myself into losing my period.
My disordered thoughts around eating were long-standing ones (a story for another time) but now I was exercising, too. I needed to eat way more than I was allowing myself and that took a toll. Finally, after going the summer without my period, I went to see my general practitioner in fall of 2015. She said I was just too thin and needed to eat more. My GP assured me exercise was not the problem and I just needed some fat on me to kick my body back into period mode. In the meantime, she referred me to a gynecologist who then had my hormone levels tested.
It turns out, I was low in progesterone so she gave me a prescription for progesterone contraceptive pills. I held the prescription in hand and remember asking the gynecologist if there could be any other reason as to my mysterious period absence. You know, if there was a reason, then I could try to fix it. Instead she told me I could just try eating more. In addition, the pill would help my hormone levels balance out and, in a year, we could see if my body was ready to produce a period naturally. I stayed on those pills for almost two months before I switched to an estrogen + progesterone pill. Both pills made me feel emotionally unstable but the latter ones were manageable. That is what I took for the entire year of 2016.
Although my body had a rocky adjustment, my hormones eventually evened out. Well, evened out enough so that I didn’t feel like an emotional mess. I took the bleeding week each month as a sign that my body was having a period and all was good. Deep down, I knew I needed to make some minor changes but the contraceptive pill was enough to allow me to carry on with my fitness routine. I followed the Tone it Up workout schedules which involved lots of cardio, HIIT, and strength training most days out of the week.
While the cardio high kept me thriving, I made an effort to fuel myself with larger meals, too. I ate a bit more but filled up my meals with lots of low-calorie fruit and splurged on desserts regularly . Looking back on it all, I thought I knew what I was doing. I was so dedicated to my workouts that I could not go a day without exercising. I was burning calories like crazy but feeding myself mostly sugar in return. Realistically, my body was exhausted and wanted a break but my mind was telling me to push forward.
So, around the month of October 2016, I dabbled in lighter workouts. I found yoga through Boho Beautiful on YouTube. Her yoga workouts were challenging but satisfying for days that I didn’t want to do a crazy hard workout. Then, I learned about Yoga with Adriene and her 30 Days of Yoga Challenge. I still did my regular Tone it Up workouts but added on a yoga video. Though, I’d look forward to the moments I’d get to do the lighter, gentler, yet invigorating yoga workouts. I started to think maybe this was what my body needed.
Come January 2017, Yoga with Adriene was doing a Yoga Revolution 31 Day challenge and I decided to quit all my other workouts to just focus on this. I strictly allowed myself one yoga video and then carried on with my day. It also seemed like the perfect time to stop taking the pill. The changes in my fitness routine encouraged me to tune into my body’s signals and something told me I would feel better without the pill.
Well, I definitely did not feel better off the pill. Without the fake hormones to assist me, I could feel my energy and emotions were all over the place. Still, I persisted.
On Instagram, I sought out others who had experienced the same and finally learned about a book called Woman Code through Lee From America. I finally checked it out for myself at the start of summer 2017. If you haven’t heard of the book, it is an incredible guide to improve and balance a woman’s hormones. The doctors I previously saw would tell me to eat more but not what to eat or when. Or what life factors could be affecting me. Unlike WomanCode author Alisa Vitti, they didn’t have a holistic understanding of my issues. They were not something I could simply put a band-aid on.
I am now proud to say that after following the recommendations in the book, AKA cycle-syncing, I was able to bring my period back. 🙌
Along the way, I’ve picked up a few specific tips that worked for me:
Establish a routine
A few set patterns can really help bring balance to our bodies. Our bodies function optimally when we have a consistent schedule for our basic needs. When our bodies have reliable sleep and wake times, meal times, and even an evening relaxation time to wind down, they will know how to proceed through the day. If we are constantly skipping meals, staying up late, napping through the day, then our internal clock is thrown off.
Reduce stress
Emotional and physical stressors take a toll on our bodies. I wasn’t giving myself proper recovery time between exercise and different life factors weren’t helping. One way I alleviated stress was by adding a peaceful morning ritual of journaling and yoga each morning. I feel so much less tense and more emotionally stable when I can start my day calmly and gently.
Eat more fats instead of sugar
Fats are what help keep our blood sugar and energy levels stable. Sugar causes disruptions in that stability which then throws off our endocrine system functioning. Personally, I love sweets. I was the girl who would eat 4-5 servings of fruit a day not long ago. Fruit it not the enemy but sugar can be. I’ve since trained my taste buds to crave the richness of fats which allows me to comfortably intake less sugar. You can read more about how to begin in my post on How to Reduce Sugar In Your Life.
For women, our periods are just one sign that our bodies are functioning as they should be. Inconsistent periods can also be a sign of a deeper hormonal issue that can have a number of other repercussions. As you may have gathered from the tips, I believe our bodies are sensitive to even the smallest disruptions. If we lack a routine, are filled with stress, and further throw off our energy levels with constant sugar in food, it is no wonder a period may skip or be out of the picture for months.
Over the past few years, I tried to ignore my period problem and that didn’t benefit me. I attempted to eat more food and workout less but that wasn’t the magic ticket either. The tips I shared are probably the biggest takeaways I’ve noticed in myself. Still, I can’t recommend checking out WomanCode enough if you haven’t yet. I’ve also got a series here on my blog to journal my cycle-syncing observations when I started.
At this point, I’ve happily enjoyed a period the past two months. My monthly cycle lasts a bit longer than it should but I feel good about what I’m doing. I really believe in my tips and the WomanCode protocol to regulate my period (and hormones in consequence!). Please, feel free to reach out if you want to chat more about this. I’d love to be a resource to others who currently face these same issues.
As a disclaimer, this post is my period story. It is not intended to diagnose or treat anyone else’s individual conditions. I’m not a medical professional and am just sharing tips that work for me.
I was listening to an episode of The Balance Blonde’s Soul on Fire Podcast with Mary Beth LaRue (ep 23) and they made an interesting point about labels. They brought up this Instagram post by Sophe Jaffe which conveys the message that we should be living for ourselves, not for others. If we are doing what feels right, yet, we have to explain our thoughts and behaviors to those around us, there is something wrong in that situation. The insecurity we feel over what others will think weighs too heavily on our opinion of ourselves. Consequently, when we try to explain ourselves to others, we use labels to justify our way of thinking. Pre-set normative stereotypes might be a little part of what we are but they aren’t all that we are.
In my experience, when we use labels to fit in, we restrict ourselves from being our truest selves.
I have a history of trying to meet the expectations of who others want me to be. I like to think that I’ve always been a little more thoughtful and mature for my age but as a teen in school, that didn’t make me “fun”. So, I would look to what friends were doing to “fit in”. It feels good to fit in…momentarily. Though, it doesn’t take long to realize that trying to be who others want you to be isn’t fulfilling. Cue Best Coast. Even now as an “adult”, the peer pressure is still there.
Oftentimes, I feel the need to do exactly as Jordan (The Balanced Blonde) and Mary Beth discussed on the podcast: explain myself. I feel the need to explain why my interests are different. I justify why I don’t fit the construct of a “typical” college graduate, fit person, single female, or young adult. Yet, to embrace even more specific labels like anxious, introverted, creative, or even vegan involves a tie to a community. They help describe some of what I feel to others but there are expectations with any label. In some ways, I desire to be part of the typical case of one of the labels because then I’ll have a fellow community. Still, even if I’m some of those labels, I know I’m also more than those labels.
I’d like to think that our truest selves are so individual that labels don’t do us justice. We all have interests, talents, and abilities that make us unique. In an ideal world, we would admire ourselves for the spectrum of things we have to offer and be appreciated for the individuals that each of us are.
Admittedly, when you ditch labels and try to just be yourself, that doesn’t mean everything else will fall into place. People won’t automatically accept you for simply being “individual” and not “fitting the norm”. In fact, it might even be harder.
As a recent example, a friend of mine was getting on my case because I casually said to her that I couldn’t remember the last time I had a drink. She asked if I was totally against drinking. I’m not, I just don’t desire it. So, she insisted we needed to meet up with some other girlfriends and go to the clubs. I politely turned her down; saying club dancing wasn’t really my idea of fun. She then said, well, it isn’t fun until you get a few drinks in to loosen up. I shrugged at her to show my disinterest and said, I just don’t really like drinking.
Then, she pounced: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DRUNK?! I said no, to which she rambled on about how I needed to; so we should go to the clubs and it will be so much fun! I mean…I can respect that that all might be her or someone else’s idea of fun but it isn’t mine. So I wish for my thoughts to be respected in return. I said to her that clubbing wasn’t my thing and she tilted her head and told me to think about it. Though, from the look on her face, she pitied me for not yet understanding what real fun can be.
Part of me wants to succumb to the ideas others have so that I can be accepted. If I follow what others, whom I respect, have in mind then, surely that would make me happy, right? Unfortunately, I would sacrifice the genuine qualities of myself if I try to just “fit the mold” of what someone else laid out. I owe it to myself to recognize that I have gut instincts and desires that are real. It is a shame to cover that up to satisfy someone else.
It certainly sucks when someone else doesn’t see what is real but I’m not living for anyone else—just me. I’m still learning to trust myself to make decisions after relying on others opinions for so long. For now, I take comfort in knowing when my thoughts and behavior are my own and I am being true to myself.
