About Me

                                                    (My Hermonie Low-Key Cosplay)
Hello, I’m Sammy!
          I’m a Microbiologist by trade but a nerd at heart. I started this blog because I want to try to connect all areas of my couch potato life. I am going to do my best to motivate you to try new things and become more active with reviews, tips and tricks, and things to try. I will definitely be a learning curve.
          Besides my love of science, fandoms, and exercising, I am also an animal lover, HGTV fanatic and foodie. An odd combination of things but there’s so many new things to try and things to fan girl over.
I will try my best to post an article every Wednesday. I will also do my best to post anything that I find helpful to your health and/or interesting things worth trying, with touches of my personal life thrown in. You can also find me on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, (mostly Pinterest because I’m addicted).
And if anyone ever wants to talk about fandoms, exercising, nutrition or really anything, please subscribe and email directly. I enjoy talking with anyone and am a pretty good listener if I do say so myself.
Keep in contact!

~Sammy

A couple of weeks ago I did a handful of presentations for my friends’ S.T.E.M class. If you don’t know what S.T.E.M, that’s ok because I also wasn’t aware that a program like this existed until my friend asked me to present. The program “is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach” ( http://www.livescience.com/43296-what-is-stem-education.html ) It’s a fantastic program, once my friend explained what it was. My audience was multiple classes of female high school students, yikes. I remember being in high school and having guest speakers and just being bored out of my mind. So I decided to make my presentation blunt. I presented on what I currently do for work, what my likes and dislikes were and my daily tasks as a Lead Scientist Quality Control Microbiologist for a Pharmaceutical Company. However, I told them “Most of what I do at work is yel

Why I Will Always Choose Slytherin

                  The world of Harry Potter is amazing. I have loved reading the books ever since I was eleven and picked up “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. This book series actually helped me learn to read and actually make me want to read which is something I will always be grateful for. And just like I’m sure most of you have, I have done countless Harry Potter sorting hat quizzes both on and off Pottermore. For the majority of the time I get Slytherin as my house, with a couple of Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws mixed in. However, one part of the book always stands out to me: When Harry is getting sorted and asks not to be put into Slytherin. Part of me does get upset at the prejudice the house faces but the main point I try to take away is that, the sorting hat takes Harry’s feelings into account. Just like in life, you can choose who you become. So if I was up at the front of the Great Hall getting sorted (still waiting on that letter McGonagall), instead of asking the

How To Eat Healthy When You Have A Husband That Cooks

I love my husband and his cooking very much. He has taught me to be an adventurous eater and I love, love, love trying his new recipes. However, he does have a problem. He always makes a massive amount of whatever he’s cooking. Which is fantastic when we have friends or family over but…..for the most time it’s just the two of us. And trust me, I would love to eat it all (so tasty) however I would also like to fit into my clothes. So, with my husbands’ help I have been trying to carve out a healthy eating style without sacrificing his cooking talents. Here are some tips that have been working for me:  1) Portion Size. When Sean (my husband) cooks, I could figuratively eat it all. However, even when I try to contain myself I still feel like I ate too much. So what I’ve found that works is to take the portion you want, then cut that in half. When I first tried this out I was really sad putting food back, but now I feel like I’ve eaten enough to make myself content but don’t feel stu
