Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

Hi! I’m Amanda.

I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

Breaking the Ice [ aka what’s been happening around here ]

December 14, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

It’s like if you haven’t talked to someone in a long long time..you don’t just walk up and kiss them on the face. You use some light conversation to break the ice, right?

Welp, that’s what’s happening here. I won’t be kissing your face today. Just reviewing some things that have been going on in my semi-healthy life to catch you up to speed. So we can talk more intimately later…like sharing recipes! (why? what were YOU thinking?)

Happy Things #5: Good News

August 31, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need to focus on the happy things in my life. I have one of those weird brains that naturally seeks out the negative in pretty much any situation, but I think with practice (and with these types of posts) we can train our brains to focus on the GOOD.

Happy Things #4

August 24, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

the happy things series

For Today’s post, we are going with the Happy Things title. Remember when I started the Happy Things series forever ago? I wanted to focus on the, well, happy things in my life instead of complaining about everything (like I tend to do).

5 ways to RELAX that are actually good for you! via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

Here are some easy ways to relax that are actually good for your health. As opposed to some that might not be as beneficial…like drowning your sorrows in booze, ice-cream and/or hours upon hours of Netflix. (Let’s be honest; we all do this on occasion.)
