Planning a wedding is hard. With so many things to organize, it’s easy to let personal health slide, but this should be your number one priority. The day is all about you and you want to not only look your best, but feel your best to enjoy every minute. So here are my top tips for wedding wellness.

Olive Oil Friend Not Foe

Before I started cooking healthy I rarely used olive oil or extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), and mostly stuck to canola and veggie oil. I had some in the pantry but it was the cheapest money could buy and tasted blah.  After starting on my journey to better health, I quickly learned there is so much more to olive oil. Now I use it in anything that does or doesn’t call for it (too much of a good thing? Maybe.).

There are several types of olive oils. The one I’m focusing on here is EVOO - considered the best of the olive family because it is the least processed, from the first pressing of the olives. 

Note: I’m not claiming to be an olive oil connoisseur here – there is a whole world of high end oils and experts out there – that’s not me! Keep reading if you consider yourself low on the olive oil knowledge scale.
