A Busy Mom’s Morning Routine

I'm going to tell you the secret to the perfect morning routine... There are many factors that will drive when and how your morning routine happens. However, I challenge you to have an intentional morning routine.

Skin Care Routine

The 2020 pandemic lockdown removed my addiction of hiding behind makeup and gave me a better appreciation for my own natural skin. Here are some of the products I've tried and really enjoyed!

Food From Other Cultures

We live in a world of inspiration available at our fingertips from across the globe! A country's food tells you a lot about their culture. Expand your horizons not only through tastes but also in the history behind these other cultures.

Diets vs Lifestyles

Typically a diet is a temporary and often extreme change in the way you eat, in an attempt to reach a specific goal or weight. However, when choosing a new eating lifestyle you are committing to a long term mindset shift surrounding the food you let into your life. The biggest question out there is what is the "best" diet (or lifestyle)? There is no shortage of options these days.

Choosing Healthy Snacks

I personally don't believe that depriving yourself of all of your favorite things is helpful or sustainable. Which means that throughout the rest of the day your snack choices need to be wiser.

Exercise Can Be Anything!

When you think of exercise, do you picture a gym with weights and personal trainers? Do you tell yourself you don't have time to go to the gym? Stop making excuses! Exercise can be just about anything!

A Healthy Start To Your Day

Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Maybe it's less about when you eat but what you eat. Make sure whatever you put into your body in the morning is nutritious fuel for the rest of your day!

Should You Be Counting Calories?

Everything you eat has calories, that's kind of the point. Your body needs calories for fuel! Calories are not the enemy! However, if you are eating more calories than your body can use or too many empty calories then yes you will likely gain weight. These are the reasons I no longer count calories.

Make Healthy, Easy!

It is the time of year where we all rededicate ourselves to eating healthier! Take these steps to help you make it easier to incorporate healthy choices into your everyday life.

The Emotional Impact of Food

How does the food we eat effect our happiness? On the surface, the food we eat can physically make us feel good or gross, but I have found there is more of a link to happiness through food than just how our stomach takes it. The food we choose has a huge emotional impact. Food can be nostalgic or comforting. We view some food as a reward or a guilty pleasure. Craving “junk” can make us feel ashamed or deprived. Trying something new can make us feel adventurous. Food can be beautiful and sensuous, and artistic! Food can give us energy to live life! Food can even cure illnesses!
