Hello Readers!

Hello readers of this fantabulous blog! I am so happy you are here! (I will bake you a cake if you give me 10 views. Incentive. Do it. READ!) Hopefully there will be more of you than just my awesome Journalism 199 Professor and my mom who by description are required to read this blog. Love you mom!

Confession time. Writing this blog was not my ingenious idea, but rather a class assignment for my Journalism discovery class at the University of Illinois. Although I write this out of obligation, I have been interested in starting a blog in the past, but have never gotten myself to pull through. One of my close friends has a blog that has gotten so popular that she gets paid for it. Getting paid to write an online diary…for a journalism major like myself, what could be better?!

I never thought I was interesting enough to write something new about my life every other day that people would actually choose to read. Now the tables have turned and I have come to the realization that I am the most interesting woman in the world! And that is why I began this blog. Kidding.

So, this extremely uninteresting girl needs to write a blog for her journalism class. God, I need an epiphany. PLEASE!

AHA! As I sit in my extremely, super, incredibly, fantabulously exhilarating Food Science and Health Nutrition class (FSHN 120) I think of my blog topic! Health! I am a healthy girl, concerned about what I eat, but not to the obsessive banana and skim milk diet point. I am simply curious about the truths of nutrition and how the food we put in our bodies can completely change our mood, appearance, energy and even our life!

So here you go! If you’re a proud parent, journalism professor or average Joe (or Jane) with an interest in all things healthy, here are my first tips for you:

Have an apple a day!
