A B O U T



Welcome to Meraki and Soul, a website/blog I made to share my passions with the world.  I started in August 2017, so I could have an outlet to share the inspiration I find that gets me going EVERDAY!



Behind the name

In trying to find and perfect the name for my site, I was searching and searching interesting words. I found the word, meraki, a Greek word untranslatable in English, I was hooked.  Meraki [may-rah-kee] means when you use your soul, creativity, and love and put it into something or when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, which is what my site (meraki & soul) is for me.

I’ll tell you a few things about me,


I love nature.  There is something about being outside either in the sun or rain.  It sets the tone for my day, even my life, whether it be rain or shine.   

I love eating well.  I am a huge fan of yummy smoothies, the fruit in season, and salads. Don’t get me wrong, if you follow me you will also know I love fries and A WHOLE LOT OF sweets.  :)

I love animals.  BIG animal supporter.  I support a lot of animal rescues and causes and I am really passionate about.   I also love my very own pup, Charlie.  And yes, I will pet your dog.

I love sports.  I’m an athlete.  I love working out, but as much as I love getting a sweat in,  I love to watch others sweat.  Some of my favorite sports, but definitely are not limited to, are football, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, swimming, and more…

I love adventure.  Adventuring means having fun…why not?


Be happy.  That’s one last thing.  Whatever you do, make sure it makes you happy.  It’s not my motto, it’s my lifestyle.



Sweat.  Lifestyle.  Food.  Style.  Inspiration.
just a blog full of passion.

easy dinner you CAN make

My Pinterest is literally my life goals all summed up from homes to food to style.  I'm not kidding. I have habit of pinning a ton of things I want to do, and never doing them.  Whoops.  With trying to eat better, more wholesome foods, I had been pinning a lot of recipes I wanted to try.  I got a little inspired with other people cooking so I decided why the heck not?! Keep scrolling for the recipes! What did I make? pizza w/ sweet potato fries & a caesar salad I really wanted to try making cauliflower, but I already used the cauliflower the night before...still going to try in the future, so I'll keep you posted on that! P I Z Z A   R E C I P E Since I couldn't make the caulilflower crust, I used store bought premade crusts. Pizza 1:  I made my original for friends that like the usual,  I used regular pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese.  Easy as that! Pizza 2: This was my personal favorite, I used some oli...

soul cycle (my first class & beginner tips)

 Two words… Soul Cycle .  Yep,  just two.  A week or two ago I took a little leap of faith and signed myself up for a Soul Cycle class.  Let me tell you, I had been really wanting to take a class, but where I lived there aren’t many studios nearby.  With taking a trip to Dallas, where I knew they had a few studios close by so I immediately hopped on the site, signed up, and reserved myself a bike. Studio I went to …Preston Hollow, Dallas Instructor …Kevin Before I went I had all those excited, anxious vibes.  Excited to see what all the hype was about, ready to get started!   I met up with a friend, which made it a whole lot nicer, so a suggestion would be to find a friend who wants to try out a class or who has done it before. Funny story, I actually saw one of my favorite bloggers, Kate of Lonestar Southern in the class before mine. Setting up. I had another Soul instructor that helped set me up, she readjus...

really yummy smoothie

I am a BIG FRUIT LOVER.  I'll admit it.  But my two favorite fruits are strawberries and pineapple, which are the main flavor aside from the banana in this smoothie.  I realized I end up making either this smoothie or something like it almost three, maybe four times a week, that's a lot! Keep scrolling for the super easy recipe. Ok, I lied.  I think fresh, juicy pineapple pieces are the absolute best!!  For a good amount of time I had been looking for the perfect, ripe pieces but it took a whole lot of searching.  After a long time, I found that Safeway had the best pineapple.  Every once in a while I might get a "dud" package with less ripe pieces.  But, I mean, look at this picture!! Do you see the F R E S H pineapple?  Heck yeah baby!!   🙌   I can't always eat Greek yogurt, because it's either too bitter or too thick (I know some of you can relate, it's a texture thing!).  To let you know this post is not spon...
