- [Traveling to Kauai :: PLAY](https://www.upandalive.com/traveling-to-kauai-play/) - Vacations or Staycations are essential, in my opinion. Maybe some people are better at unplugging regularly and taking some uninterrupted time for themselves. I am not one of those people, at least not yet! It was so lovely to unplug and connect with my family and my surroundings. We took it really easy on this

We are taking a much needed vacation, after a very fun and busy year. We are going to try to be a little unplugged while we are in Kauai, but we will still be using instagram. It's hard to completely unplug when our families text us daily demanding a new picture of Indyanna

Alcohol is lipid-soluble and begins to be absorbed in the stomach. However, alcohol can be absorbed into
- [bacon grease... yum!](https://www.upandalive.com/bacon-grease-yum/) - Unfortunately in our (animal) fat-phobic culture, the tradition of saving bacon grease has become rare. Animal fats are a great option for high-heat cooking because they are very chemically stable and do not oxidize easily. Plus, bacon grease can add a smoky, rich flavor to pretty much any dish! On the subject of animal fats,

He recommended that I stop drinking coffee for the time being (so sad) to help improve my sleep. I have my diet dialed in, but sleep is a whole different beast that I am working to improve. I am finding

I always thought

Robyn is a crusader for cleaning up our food supply & the author of The Unhealthy Truth. I think this is a must watch video for everyone! Robyn shares her personal story and how it
- [currently eating](https://www.upandalive.com/currently-eating/) - When I first started this blog, I was fairly new to paleo/primal/real food (whatever you want to call it) eating. I had been eating this way for close to a year, but I hadn't learned much yet about the whys behind it. I just knew that eating this way made sense to me - there was no doubt in my

It was such an incredible day, the weather was perfect, the ranch was beautiful, & the grassfed burgers were delicious! It was really cool meeting Joe Morris - the rancher.

The best part,
- [the honey boo-boo](https://www.upandalive.com/the-honey-boo-boo/) - I did recently publicly admit to watching a lot of reality tv, but I want you all to know that I do have some morals (just a little bit, but they are still there).
