    My Daysy Fertility Tracker Review

    December 10, 2020 /

    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

    November 2, 2020 /

    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…

    Let’s Get Checked Review

    October 12, 2020 /

    Taking the time to test certain aspects of your health can be super helpful and eye opening. When you take a wellness test, whether it be checking your thyroid levels or for specific vitamins, you have the knowledge to take action to better your health. Knowledge after all, is power! My issue with tests? I’m terrified of doctors. I’m pretty sure I have white coat phobia if that’s even a thing.  That’s why I’m so grateful for Let’s Get Checked. They are a wellness testing company that makes it so easy to get checked at home. Simply choose the wellness test you want, send back your sample, and you’ll get…

    Berkey Filters Review-Cleaner, Better Water?

    August 6, 2020 /

    As I continue my wellness journey and as I learn about ways to make my home as non-toxic as possible, I learned one shocking fact: My so called clean drinking tap water isn’t clean at all. I’ll go into more detail on this later, but this new found knowledge spurred me to look into finding a high quality filter that would last and give me some peace of mind. That search led me to Berkey Filters and purchasing a Travel Berkey. I’ve now had it for 8 months and this is my honest Berkey Filters review! This post contains affiliate links.

    How To Better Manage Stress & Finally Feel Better

    April 10, 2020 /

    I spent one entire day so worried I made myself physically ill. I once spent an entire week so stressed out I hardly ate. Another time, my anxiety levels were so high I hardly exercised for a whole month. Sound horrible? It was. Sadly, many of you have experienced similar issues with too much stress.  If you are constantly feeling overwhelmed or worried, let me tell you, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Life is hard, but guess what? We were meant to be happy. Sure there will be hard times and life was never meant to be sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns. But that’s kind of what makes life fun, right? One of my…

    What a DECADE! I’ve been alive for almost three decades now, but this past one was the most memorable, adventurous, and amazing. I’m honestly sad to see it go, but so grateful for the growth, the good times and bad, and every single blessing. I’m really only sharing my highlights of the past decade. That doesn’t mean it was all rainbows and sunshine. Not even close, but I’m grateful for the challenges and hard times because without the sadness, there wouldn’t be any joy. 2010: Leaving the Nest I started off the decade by graduating high school.

⠀⠀
Life is full of ups and downs, some because life is just that way and sometimes because of the choices you make. You can choose to be angry, shift blame, & negative or you can work hard, do you best, and stay positive. 😊
⠀⠀
Because guess what? You get to choose your attitude every day. You get to decide how your life goes. If you don’t like something? Change it. Can’t control certain things? Don’t fixate on it. Focus on the good and the good gets better. 👊🏼

Do you still workout with a calorie goal in mind? Do you still workout with a calorie goal in mind? 🔥 ⠀⠀
⁣
Here’s a tip, maybe instead of worrying about how many calories you burn in a workout focus on a performance goal instead. 💪🏼 It could be lifting a little bit heavier than last time or getting deeper in that squat. Maybe it’s trimming down your 5k time or finally getting that perfect pull up. 🙌🏻
⠀⠀
Burning calories is great, but you’ll really see improvements and feel like an athlete when you focus on something specific rather than just an estimated calorie burn. 👍
⠀⠀
Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! 😘

Give them some love with these stretches! I love to do these after a workout or when they need some extra help.

Although you don’t want to overstretch these muscles, regularly giving them some attention with thoughtful stretches or mobility work can help them loosen up and feel less tight or sore.

Hold each for 30-60 seconds.

Pro tip: try doing it while you watch a show or make it a more relaxing experience with your favorite music and essential oils!

How to stay healthy when you have a desk job 💻 How to stay healthy when you have a desk job 💻
⁣
Have a desk job? Spend quite a bit of time sitting for work? I’m right there with ya! 
⁣
Working full time and prioritizing health  can be tricky. Here are some of my tips that help me balance it all and keep my health a priority 👇🏼
⁣
1. Focus on your nutrition. It’s the one thing that almost always you can control IF you give it some thought. Stick to the basics like getting veggies and limiting your processed food intake and you’ll be golden. 
⁣
2. Use your lunch break wisely. I like to use my lunch break to get in some movement (even if it’s just a short walk) and/or make a nutritious meal. Meditation or getting some fresh air is also a good idea! 
⁣
3. Stand for a few minutes every hour. If you have a standing desk, use it! Or just get up, stretch, and try working standing up every now and then. 
⁣
4. Drink that H20. You’ll keep your energy up, and have to pee more which means you’ll have to take a break from sitting more 😘
⁣
5. Try adding strength training to your routine. It suuuuper sucks but as we age we lose muscle mass IF we don’t do anything about it. You can combat extra muscle loss and bad desk posture with strength training. Muscle = youth ✨

No matter the road ahead, remember you’ve surviv No matter the road ahead, remember you’ve survived everything life has thrown at you so far. 💪🏼
⁣
I’ve leaned this year there’s a lot of things I can’t control and that’s been frustrating. Sometimes I felt so helpless this past year watching things unfold. 
⁣
But, I also leaned that it’s not always our job to fix the worlds problems but to just focus on our own little sphere and what we can control and who we can help. 
⁣
✨I have power over my health & well-being.
✨I have power over my attitude & faith.
✨I have power to help & love those close to me.
⁣
I hope you all have a safe and happy new year and that 2021 brings you joy! 💙 What are you doing to ring in the new year?
