About

Hi! My name is Chelsea, aka Tuffy ;], and this blog is kind of an experiment for me. I have recently fallen in love with reading peoples blogs and just seeing how different people do things. For the most part I love reading health and fitness blogs. If you see me browsing around on my computer, that's probably what I'm doing! I have gotten some amazing food ideas from other peoples blogs. 

Anyways, after reading so many blogs I finally decided to start my own, mostly because I thought it would be cool to have a place to have a collection of things I do. I'm not really sure what (if anything) it will focus on. There are so many things that I enjoy doing, so I'm thinking it will just be a collection of anything I feel like putting on here. This is new to me, so it will definitely be a learning experience! 

My goal for this blog is for its main focus to be healthy food and fitness, with a little mix of other random stuff. I really love health and fitness, and I'm always looking for ways to make food healthier without sacrificing taste. I absolutely love to cook and am always experimenting with recipes and cooking something yummy to eat :) So I will be posting a lot of food pictures (I love taking pictures of my food!) and recipes on here. I have spent a good amount of years trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, so I'd love to be able to share some of my experience and knowledge as well. 

Aside from food and health, I just might throw in some other topics. Like nails (I love to paint my nails!). Or my outfit for a day. Maybe a DIY project I just finished. Or a product review? I'm also a coffee nut, and am always look for good coffee and new ways to make it and new places to get good coffee, so maybe a coffee post here or there. Who knows! We will just have to wait and find out exactly what this little experiment turns into :)

A little bit about me: I'm 24 years old. I'm (still) a student...I changed my major a few times...but I finally decided on cell and molecular biology as a major. I love science. I just love understanding how and why things work the way they do. Especially when I can connect it to other things in life. It's just so cool to have an understanding of the world on a bit more complex of a level and to be able to relate things I learn to everyday life. I'm only a part time student though. I'm a lab tech for an infertility clinic, where I'm also training to be an embryologist (opportunity of a lifetime! for which I am forever grateful). I live with my amazing boyfriend and our two doggies babies, Chloe and Duddy G. I know they look related, but they actually aren't at all.

Why Tuffy? It's actually a funny story. I ordered a pizza for my dad and was planning on picking it up for him. I gave them my order and told them my name was Chelsea. When I got there and asked for an order for Chelsea they looked at me dumbfounded and said they didn't have an order for Chelsea. They asked what I ordered and went to try to figure things out. When they came back to me they said they found my order but the name was Tuffy. Tuffy?! I don't know how in the world they got Tuffy from Chelsea, or why on earth they didn't think to ask me to clarify my name or I don't know maybe spell it out for them. I don't know about anyone else but I've never ever heard the name Tuffy. If someone told me their name was Tuffy I think I'd definitely ask for clarification. Anyways, I thought this whole experience was hilarious and decided from that day forward I couldn't let Tuffy die. It's just too funny. And so ever since then, my nickname for things has been Tuffy.
