Through Karla's Eyes

Hello my beautiful friends! I have talked about the importance of water in previous posts & how I keep up with my water intake. Believe me i'm not perfect with water intake there's days where I forget or just not too interested in drinking plain boring water. This is why I love to plan ahead and purchase 3 ingredients that make delicious infused water. All you need is berries, lemon & cucumbers. If you guys haven't had infused water you are missing out, it will make your water have so much flavor & it just feels so refreshing. There are great benefits of having infused waters as well. The biggest benefit I have seen is just since it looks pretty & it has a taste I actually tend to drink it more thru out my day. I would love to share with you guys how you can mix & match these ingredients and make different combinations with great benefits. You can defiantly get fancier than this but this is what works for me because its easy to make, with ingredient...

Hello my beautiful friends!!! Healthy can have different meanings to different people. I would love to share what it means to me & the goals that I have in mind for my fitness journey. I strive for a healthy balance on a daily basis, which means to me eating healthy foods & whole foods about 80% of the time & having pizza & a donut on some other days. I love food, and I feel like I'm still in my journey to having a better relationship with food. I have a huge appetite like really I could eat a torta & a burrito and will still ask what's for dessert? this is the reason why I choose to eat bigger portions of healthier & whole foods. Allowing me to treat myself gives me the choice to have some of the foods that I love with moderation. So here are 7 tips that I apply to my life for  a healthier lifestyle, easy things you can start today. I'm still on my journey to finding balance & learning as I go. 1. Make your...

Hello my beautiful friends!! Welcome to my blog, after a long week of work the last thing I wanted was to grocery shop today, however there wasn't much left in the refrigerator for this weekend. Thankfully I like to start planning & building my grocery shopping list throughout the week as we ran out of items. I wanted to share how I plan my grocery shopping trip and how I plan on what foods we will be having throughout the week. I tend to grocery shop every week and always meal plan to stay in our budget. Always try to make one trip to the grocery store, going more often may cause to overspend and it can get tempting to get variety of unhealthy options.   First thing I do like most of you is look through Pinterest & find inspiration. I try picking easy to make recipes & as healthy as possible, without being too restricted. Since its just the two of us I tend to cook 2-3 times a week only, the rest of the days we have lef...

Welcome to What I ate Wednesday! Today I will be sharing what I ate throughout the day. Honestly I have not been eating as well and as healthy as I normally do. Today I wanted to start getting back on track and decided to document everything that I ate. Minus the snacks which honestly were not too interesting, just one apple & one granola bar.I hope you guys enjoy!     I need coffee to start my day!     Okay so most of us should know the best way to start our day would be with warm water & lemon, but what can I say I love coffee. Starting my day with a warm cup of coffee, dash of creamer & almond milk.     Breakfast, I'm usually on such a rush in the  morning so it helps out to throw whatever fruits I have available & take a smoothie to drink on the go. For today's smoothie I had tons of fruit available, I did 1 cup of almond milk & 1 cup of water, added strawberries & blueberries a banana...
