    The Perfect Morning Routine for the Winter

    December 27, 2020 / No Comments

    My morning routine is my favorite part of the day! I love to wake up, enjoy the sun, and spend some me-time before I start my day (If you’ve ever read about my solo dates, you know that I love any excuse for me time). But now that winter has set in, it’s dark when I wake up so it’s harder to get out of bed. There are days I want to hit the snooze button and stay under the warm covers. However, mornings are my most productive time during the day so I HAVE to wake up. If you struggle to get up and get motivated when it’s dark…

    The 5 Best Sweet Potato Recipes

    October 7, 2020 / No Comments

    Some of my favorite meatless dishes include many sweet potato recipes. I used to eat mostly vegetarian (I say mostly because once in a while I’d cook something with chicken). Since most of my meals consisted of vegetables, I needed a way to feel full and satisfied so I wouldn’t feel starved in a couple of hours. That’s when I discovered sweet potatoes and how amazing they are! Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A, B6, C, and D. As well as a good source for potassium, magnesium, and iron. They’re good for the immune system and they won’t increase your blood sugar (I swear this isn’t an ad for sweet…

    Feeling Tired all the Time? Here’s How to Fix It

    August 7, 2018 / 4 Comments

    Lately, I’ve been waking up in a fog–or at least I feel that way after a few hours of being awake. It’s as if a sheet is pulled over my eyes and I can’t seem to fully wake up. It’s the hardest when I’m feeling tired, but can’t take a nap since I’m at work. Knowing that I couldn’t let this persist, I’ve been doing some research. There’s a condition called Sleep Inertia that persists during the transition of sleep to wakefulness, which can lead to feelings of prolonged drowsiness. Essentially it’s the state of feeling tired all day long. Not something we want to deal with when we still…

    How to Create an Effective At Home Workout Plan

    April 13, 2018 / No Comments

    Through my insurance, I have a gym membership to over 7 gyms in my general vicinity. So I have the capability to workout at a gym whenever I want to. The problem is I don’t want to get in my car and drive across town to just workout. I’d MUCH rather do an at home workout and save myself the trouble. Creating an at home workout plan has been my saving grace to staying active and having a fitness plan. If you’re like me, and don’t like to go to the gym to workout, or find yourself dragging your feet/coming up with excuses in order to AVOID working out, then you may need…

    The Best Detox Water for a Smaller Waistline

    March 22, 2018 / No Comments

    I used to work in a restaurant where my diet consisted mostly of carbs, particularly pizza. This is when I started to notice how THICK my waist had gotten. It wasn’t fat, it was just thick. That’s when a girl I worked with recommended a detox water that helped her lose 10 pounds in one week! I’m not one to pass up a quick and easy weight loss trick. And I really liked that you can still eat normal while you’re drinking this detox water, as opposed to starving yourself (It takes more than a cube of cheese to keep me from fainting).

    I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years now, and I can say hands-down it’s my favorite way to exercise. There are so many different kinds of yoga too! Here is a breakdown of the 4 most common: Hatha- Great for beginners Vinyasa- Great for weight loss Bikram. AKA Hot Yoga- Great for building flexibility Ashtanga- Great for seasoned yogis wanting to go for an hour and a half or more I prefer vinyasa yoga, because it tends to flow at a faster pace and I won’t melt. Seriously, hot yoga is intense, especially in the summertime! If you want to start practicing yoga, then you will need to…

    I have been doing a lot of chocolate eating and heavy drinking lately (that comes standard with the holidays, right?). All of these excess calories have made me feel bloated like a balloon. On top of whale status, we have things EVERYWHERE. As much as I love the gifts and treats, I really need a life detox. Common signs you need to detox your life are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and heavy. Having an excess of things (Even yummy delicious or beautiful shiny ones) can really weigh you down.

    I have the cough that just won’t quit. So I’ve been researching self care tips for when you’re sick and resorting to crazy old wives tales (Slathering myself in a pound of Vicks over here – burning nostrils for the win!). The ultimate goal when you’re sick is to get better and it would be awesome if it would happen quickly. You should always be practicing self care, but particularly when you’re sick. Self care allows to rejuvenate your body and assist your immune system in the healing process.

    How to be Productive Even When You’re Sick

    November 30, 2017 / No Comments

    I have been so sick this past week that I don’t know how to be productive. All I want to do is binge watch holiday movies and lie on the couch. But I feel guilty doing that when I KNOW that I have a lot of work I should be doing (Like writing an article for you all). After laying on the couch watching my THIRD happily ever after ending, I decided that I really must do something–even if it was simply washing my hair. ‘Tis the season for sickness, but that doesn’t mean we have to be a lazy piece the whole time.

    10 Winter Beauty Tips to Combat the Cold

    It’s officially winter here, but I’m still struggling with dragging out my winter coat. I know that winter comes at the same time every year, but it seems I’m never prepared for the cold. And this year it seems even colder, so I’m REALLY not ready. I have already started my winter regimen because me skin has already started drying out and becoming itchy, and it’s only November. If you live in an area that experiences winter, then you’re going to want to use these winter beauty tips to keep the cold air from drying you out.
