Welcome to CJW!
What can you expect on this blog?
There will be plenty of helpful nutrition, fitness, and overall wellness and lifestyle tips, with room to explore whatever is catching my eye that particular week. We will dive into the actual science behind the splashy headline, honestly test drive the latest products and plans, and share the proven tools and tricks that have helped me on my personal journey. Of course, I also want to answer your pressing questions and put out content that you find valuable so please comment or email me with your ideas and input.
Some fun facts about me –
· To answer two commonly asked questions - yes, I am quite tall (5’10 to be exact) and no I did not play basketball (I played softball throughout high school)
· I love waking up really early. It is one of my favorite things to be awake and accomplish something (whether it’s working out, reading, meditating, or even just eating breakfast) while the rest of the world is still asleep.
· The California central coast is my happy place and the backdrop for many of my photographs, which can be found hanging in homes of friends and family around the country
· I have made five cross country moves in my life and personally think I have picked up the best of both New England and California (and a little bit of the Midwest too from when I went to college at Notre Dame)
· My mom is Lebanese and my dad is Italian and the foods from those two cultures are definitely my favorites – I have even perfected a few dishes and will share recipes if you ask nicely
