I definitely know what it feels like to feel a little nervous or out of place at the gym. The first time, the first several times actually, I walked into a gym I felt so insecure. I’m a shy person at heart and thought that everyone was going to judge me for clearly being the newbie at the gym. I wore baggy clothes (which is totally fine btw but I did it to hide) and would go to some corner to workout alone. ⠀⠀ Then I realized that I wasn’t here for other people. I was here for ME and my health progress. It didn’t matter what anyone else thought.…

It’s officially been six months since I ditched birth control and started using the Daysy Fertility Tracker. This post contains affiliate links. See my full affiliate disclosure here. You can use my code DaysyUS+467 to save $15 on your own Daysy Fertility Tracker. Lemme tell ya, ditching hormonal birth control feels freaking awesome. I had an IUD (Skyla) for three years before I made the switch. I actually had no issues with my IUD. It didn’t give me too many weird side effects and I luckily still had a regular period all three years. But there’s just something so empowering about being all natural when it comes to birth control.…

7 Simple Things You Can Do to Limit Environmental Toxins
But everything will kill you eventually anyway Amy, so why does it matter? This is the biggest argument I hear when it comes to the “non-toxic” or “limit environmental toxins” conversation. Yes it’s true. There is a lot of RISK in this life, a lot of unknowns, and even though we may try our darndest, bad things can happen. But why not try to make better choices? Why not take some personal responsibility when it comes to our health? Why not try to swap out things here and there that could have a drastic impact on your health in the long run? My why when it comes to health and…

When to Take a Rest Day from Working Out
Confused when to take a rest day from working out? Rest days are a critical part of any workout plan or routine, but sometimes it can be hard to know when you should actually rest or maybe you feel guilty for doing so. (Please don’t!) Raise your hand if you’ve ever had these questions about taking a rest day: Why are rest days so important? How often should I take a rest day? What factors should determine when I take a rest day? What should I do (or not do) on my rest days? When to take a rest day or how much to rest will differ for each person.…

We are in full blown summer mode and if you’re lucky enough to have a garden, you probably have zucchini coming out of your ears. I don’t have a garden but my mom does and she’s nice enough to give me some of her zucchini’s now and then.

I looked for a healthier, clean eating zucchini muffin recipe but most of the recipes I found included processed sugar or other ingredients I didn’t think were necessary.
