On Tuesday, someone came to buy bagels from me who had written to me earlier in the day asking that I please DO NOT put the bagels in any kind of bag and that she would be bringing her own. When I read the message, I actually thought she was asking if I COULD put […]
Last year, I wrote a post detailing my (new) skincare routine. As someone on the fast train to 30 (YES my 28th bday is coming up in 3 months!), skincare right now is so important as a preventative measure (although when I see little wrinkles around my eyes, I think it’s no longer preventative…. 50 year old […]
When I first created this blog, it was as a health and fitness blog. It was supposed to be a place where I write healthy recipes, recorded my workouts, and generally shared about living a healthy life. I started A Spoonful of TLC over 7 years ago and in that time, it has kind […]
It’s no secret that around this time, you know- Christmas, New Year’s, time off from work and school, there is a lot of good and fun things- parties! dinners! friends! shopping! but so much of it can also leave me feeling sort of blah. Between all of the sweet treats, the endless cheese plates, large dinners, […]

Since I […]

There are a lot of questions and debate as to why Europeans (or Spaniards?) have a trimmer waist-line than us Americanos. I have a lot of opinions about this- our portion sizes, what exactly we are eating, when we eat, our attitudes toward eating, etc. That’s all for another day and another post, but this […]
As I have said before, I didn’t join the gym last year so my fitness routine was limited to going for runs or doing NTC in the park near my house or in my room. Running (or walking) around a city is my absolute favorite way to see a new city, figure out the lay […]
