As many of you know, I moved to the desert southwest this summer. It has been quite the change from the midwest. Although I am a very picky eater, I have been experimenting around town testing out local flavors. The latest dish I tried was a tortilla soup. Now, if you have never had tortilla soup, I highly recommend it.
There are 2 different ways you can make it. As you can see from my picture on the left, I am definitely not a good food [...] Continue Reading…
As many of you know, I LOVE smoothies and I’m also pretty good at creating and making them (even if I do say so myself!), so this issue I thought I’d share with you my guide to creating a smoothie bar in your own home that’s good to go at any time of day and is quick and easy to use.
Why smoothies? Because they’re fast, quick, fun, delicious and they are great at any time of day and can often deliver a hefty dose [...] Continue Reading…
Happy 1st day of Fall. I really am going to miss seeing the changing leaves and all the fall colors.
Here in Arizona, it is far from looking like fall (everyone tells me it won’t ever look like fall here). We are still over 100 degrees at the end of September! As this is my first year away from the Midwest in 7 years, I don’t completely want to miss out on this fun season.
Please send me your favorite fall photos to amber@amberkeinath.com or simply [...] Continue Reading…

In recent years, making sure your family is as healthy and eco-friendly as possible has become very popular. A few years ago I really had no desire to be eco-friendly and really didn’t know of ways to be healthy besides exercising and having healthier eating habits.
The more I have studied up on these subjects, the more I find out how clueless I was! It can get kind of scary when you learn about all the dangers of the environment right in your own home.
Now [...] Continue Reading…

It has been a while since I have added a blog post on here! I have been busy visiting family, moving across country, and exploring the new territory!
I decided that since I am still busy with this summer traveling/moving fun, I would keep this blog post short and sweet. There are only 3 categories of top fashion picks for all you mamas out there this summer season: best all around tank top, best running shoe, and best in maternity fitness.

For today’s post I am going to my “mailbag” and answering a question from one of my readers! The question for today is all about exercising during pregnancy!
Question:
My mother and aunt told me to stop exercising now that I am pregnant because pregnant women are supposed to take it easy and shouldn’t exercise, but my doctor recommended that I keep active. So, is it okay to exercise during pregnancy?

This is a very common question that I get. Back in the [...] Continue Reading…
Have you ever tried to lose weight but couldn’t stick with it because it was too dang boring? There are more diets and weight loss plans out there than every before.
However, there is a great majority of them that limit what you can eat or make working out so hard who the heck is going to stick with it for longer than a few weeks or even a few days?

Have you found yourself reaching for that candy bar or for that cookie, looking around you making sure no one will catch you? Hey, if no one else sees you, it doesn’t count, right?
What about eating while you are watching TV or a movie only to find that bag empty only halfway through the show?
Or, maybe you can relate to the woman who beat up her inner self after giving into that extra piece of cake that was tempting her?
If you find yourself related [...] Continue Reading…
