About Elise

I’m a nurse. An exercise lover. A whole foods connoisseur. A health enthusiast. And I have IBS. No need to cue the sappy violin music yet... I’ve found that eating a mostly plant-based diet has allowed me to continue to live and love life to the fullest. Although moderation isn’t something I do well, I’m 100% devoted to giving my body pure, wholesome, quality food. Nutritious and delicious, all the time. Hungry Hungry Hippie is a way for me to share my daily dealings with food, fitness, and everything in between.

Queasy

Ok.  Honestly?  I’m feeling a bit sick…great way to start off married life, huh?  It’s not surprising that an illness should strike now, after the intense go-go-go nature of the past month I guess I had it coming.  My body must’ve caught wind that my defenses are (finally) down.  Too much travel, too little sleep, and on top of it all, my eating habits have been ridiculously (and abnormally) erratic over the past week (see above breakfast of crackers & hummus).  I guess my immune system deserves a day off…I just hope a day doesn’t… Read more >

Return of the Mac

I have been working furiously (ok, that’s a lie, I’m really only at about 35%) for the past day and a half to try and get Windows on my MacBook…all for the glorious blogging tool that is Live Writer.  Success!  Finally!! (I hope?) Also successful was our first go at non-Starbucks coffee making.  New coffee maker.  New coffee.  New grinder. New start to the day. Just me and my java…and a long-overdue date with this months VegNews. Love.  It’s not Kauai, but whatcanyado. Before I get ahead of myself though, I want to make sure… Read more >

Reality check one, two

My laptop gathered quite a bit of dust this past week… After the most amazing wedding (a day that surpassed anything I could have even dreamed of), Kyle and I headed off to Kauai for a week in paradise.  We lounged by the pool. And the beach. Sipped tropical drinks.   And some of Hawaii’s finest brews. Got massages.  Hammock-ed.  Hiked.  And basked in all our newlywed glory.  Slowly but surely (Flashback Fridays anyone?) I’ll do my best to fill you in on the wedding and honeymoon details…or at least the G-rated parts.  For now,… Read more >

Patience is a virtue

It’s a totally random coincidence that my 2nd blogiversary falls on the same day as my wedding. Although one is semi-noteworthy, the other far outweighs it (by leaps and bounds) in importance…and so I will be postponing the celebration of hungryhungryhippie turning two until I return from Hawaii.  But you can be sure the wait will be worth it for you because I have several giveaways in the works.  Go big or go home, right? Hey, I waited 6 years for this day to come, so I know something about patience.  [College] [1st Anniversary] [Graduation]… Read more >
