    The Tomorrow Hybrid Mattress Review

    November 14, 2017 /

    Did you know that 1 out of 3 Americans don’t get enough sleep? And by “enough” sleep I mean at least 7 hours for adults ages 18-60.  Frankly, I’m not surprised. I hear all the time from co-workers, friends, and family about frequent late night outings and waking up far too early. I get tired just hearing about their lack of sleep! For me personally, sleep is a HUGE priority. I don’t say that to brag. I just get really, really cranky when I don’t get enough sleep. It’s nothing personal, I just need my sleep! I should probably take this moment to apologize to my roommates over the years for banging…

    I Tried Floor Sleeping. Here’s What Happened

    September 6, 2017 /

    It’s amusing how one can go literally years without getting sick or injured, then all of the sudden your body decides to give you hell. That was me this entire month of August. And now that I think of it, amused might be the wrong word choice. From terrible back strains, multiple doctor visits, a minor health scare, and a cold with a cough so violent you have to run to the bathroom just so your coworkers don’t give you weird looks, It’s been a rough month. I don’t mean to complain, I know others have it MUCH worse. Despite all the stress and discomfort, I’m actually really grateful because…

    The Dangers of Sugar Addiction and How To Overcome It

    April 23, 2017 /

    When you hear the word “addiction”,  what comes to mind?  Maybe some scary drugs like meth, tobacco, cocaine? Ever thought of sugar?  Few would think to include sugar in the list of terrible substances and destructive behaviors that are addictive and devastating to lives. However, current However, current research has shown that processed sugar can be just as addictive as the most harmful drugs. Yikes, who would have guessed that innocent bowl of Captain Crunch I just ate is so terrible.    via GIPHY Why is this such a concern?   Sugar ingested in large quantities can cause serious health defects. Sugar intake has been linked to hypertension, chronic heart disease, chronic inflammation,…

    Why I Started Standing At Work (And Why You Should Too)

    February 15, 2017 /

    This post contains affiliate links.  Did you know that sitting for 8-12 hours each day can be just as harmful to your health as smoking?  Ya. I was shocked when I heard that too. Sitting for prolonged periods of time increases our risk for chronic disease (just like smoking).  This hardly seems fair when our society requires us to sit all day.  We have to sit at work. We sit in a car to drive to work. We sit to eat. We sit to relax after work. Sit, sit, sit. All. Day. LONG! Even if we manage to get in an hour of exercise each day, it’s still may not…

    Holiday Fitness Tips You Won’t See Anywhere Else

    With Thanksgiving coming up and Christmas only a month away, the most festive time of year is here! With the holiday season comes family gatherings and other social commitments. For the fitness fanatics and health nuts this time of year can be more stressful than fun. Cakes, cookies, and other sweets seem to be everywhere taunting us. Time with family and friends conflict with time spent at the gym. For those of us trying to live a fit lifestyle, the holidays are often viewed as a type of sabotage on our hard-earned health and physique. The holiday season also seems to bring a large amount of “holiday fitness tips” from all sorts of…

    Relationships and Wellness: How They Connect (And Why It’s Important)

    June 22, 2016 /

    When it comes to health and wellness, relationships may seem completely unrelated.  At least that was the case with me until recently. Of course, my relations with family, friends, and peers are priceless to me, but I failed to make the connection of how relationships influence my overall wellness. I admit it’s quite sad and frankly embarrassing it took me, someone who has spent the last five years studying wellness at a university level, so long to understand this association but I suppose late is better than never. Many of you have made this connection ages ago and are probably rolling your eyes, but for those who are like me,…

    How To Be More Optimistic (In Any Situation)

    February 21, 2016 /

    I once had a school assignment from my alternative medicine class that changed my life.  Sounds dramatic, but hear me out.  Our assignment was to keep a gratitude journal for the whole semester.  We had to write down three different things each day, and they had to start with the sentence, “I’m grateful for…” We were challenged to find three unique things every day rather than just the generics.  As the semester continued and my gratitude list grew, I began to notice something.  I was less stressed, less worried, and more hopeful.  In short, I was happier! I learned an important lesson that semester: Optimism may come naturally to some people,…

I reached out to FlexiSpot because they had gorgeous standing desks that had amazing reviews and were affordable. This L shape desk was easy to put together and has already made working from home sooo much better! I’ve always dreamed of having a cozy home office and so grateful that it’s coming together! 

➡️ swipe to the end to see what my office looked like “before” 😬😂

Sitting all day is not good for our health so I knew a good standing desk was a must. So glad I could find one that is sturdy but also looks super cute 🥰 cuz ya know priorities 😂

Happy St Patty’s! 🍀 wearing your green today? Happy St Patty’s! 🍀 wearing your green today?? This one will leave you SO sore! But it’s a fun so save it! 

Ps I shared this workout a year ago exactly. Part of me feels like last March was an ETERNITY ago and the other part of me feel like it was literally last week so I’m just all around confused 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😂

Back to the workout: you don’t have to use a ball if you don’t have one, you can skip the moves that need it but it’s worth trying because it ads a serious challenge! 

🍀Knee tucks 
🍀Around the worlds (switch the rotation direction half way) 
🍀Overhead sit ups 
🍀Hand offs 
🍀Ball crunches 
🍀 Opposite knee to elbow mountain climbers 

Try 30-60 seconds for each move and repeat 2-4 times. Add onto a workout or try it on its own! 💪🏼 Hope you find some luck today! 🌈👑

Before giving up on living a healthy lifestyle or Before giving up on living a healthy lifestyle or your health and fitness goals, here are a few questions to ask yourself. 💙

Trying to change too much too fast? Slow it down, take it one step, one habit at a time. 

Are your goals and expectations realistic? Dream big, but take it in bite size chunks. 

Are you giving it a chance? As much as we’d all love to eat a salad or workout for a week and be magically fit and healthy it doesn’t work that way 😂

Are you being patient with yourself? Good things take time! Show yourself some grace, love and patience! 

Living healthy isn’t easy but makes all the difference. You can do it! 💪🏼

You don't have to eat perfect, just try a little harder. Do a little better. Your body will thank you!
