MIND. BODY. HEART.
In my last job, I worked a ridiculous amount of hours a week. I'd be up sometimes before 5 am - doing work at home, getting in a workout if I had the time, and going to bed way, way, way too late. I was averaging 4-5 hours of sleep a night, and that sleep ...
For about a year, I've had a bottle of apple cider vinegar sitting in my fridge. Just sitting, waiting, taunting me. I tried it once, and I almost gagged. Realizing, drinking it straight wasn't the best way to ease in, or to consume it regularly. But as of lately, I've tried to be better about ...
Sugar - we hate it...we love it...it's a tug a war relationship. Personally, I grew up with a sweet tooth where I always wanted a little dessert (ok maybe more than a little) after dinner. It was my reward...right? It was always hard for me to turn down ice cream or cake or cookies. I ...
It's true - I have the worst green thumb. I've even killed a cactus, when I over-watered it. Sorry to the friend who left it in my care, one summer. But, what are the benefits of said plant if you can manage to keep it alive and not under or over-nourished? Awesome ones... The benefits of ...
I always hesitated against having a trainer at the gym - specifically based on the expense the and time needed to dedicate. But when my gym offered a few free sessions, I wasn't going to turn down "free." And what I gained was more than I expected. I was just trying to avoid getting guilt ...
It's easy to hate on ourselves and pick at ourselves for the littlest of things...usually things that no one else notices, but us. But why don't we change the story...make it about self appreciation and loving yourself and who you are, vs. picking at the little scabs and wounds. Here are a few ways to get ...
As Daniela put it in her post about endings - new beginnings are just around the corner. We don't always realize at the time of stress or frustration that there is something else waiting...waiting to be discovered. Recently a lot of friends of mine have been going through a rough time. Some with jobs. Others with ...
Being active...takes effort. Some of us drive to work, sit at work, eat at our desk, and drive home, and sit on the couch. That's a damn lot of sitting, don't you think? We may get in 30 minutes of exercise on days we can summon up the energy...but what about the other days? Is ...
Perhaps not as "cool" as the latest cold brew fad, but Tea has been having it's own surcharge, especially with the likes of Matcha. But why should you care? Because aside from drinking water (don't forget this), tea is a bit of a superpower -- especially green teas. According to Today - "The green teas are the ...
Summer is coming. There are juice cleanses. Diets. Exercise regimens. And so much more. We've all done. We jump on, we jump off, and start all over again. Say hi to your hamster buddies...we've all been on the wheel. Here's the thing - it's hard not to crave your comfort foods. Whether it's pizza, ice cream, ...
