I always try to be very environmentally conscious. I like to credit most of my eco-friendliness to living in Austin, Texas for seven years. They stopped using plastic bags at grocery stores, I mean come on! I got into a lot of really good eco-friendly habits over the years so I wanted to come on […]
I’ve recently been researching the benefits that colder temperatures have on the skin and the body. And let me just say, I’m obsessed. I’ve been washing my face with COLD water instead of warm. I’ve been switching my shower water to freezing cold at the end of my showers. And I’ve been keeping some of […]
I’ve been really into wellness lately. As if you couldn’t tell. I actually bought a (pink) tea kettle so I can brew this Mango Green Tea that the Kardashians drink, I’ve been doing morning meditation with the Insight Timer app, reading The Daily Stoic every morning, drinking lots of water with lemon, and I bought […]
Let’s talk “New Year, New Me” diets shall we? This isn’t really a new year new me diet per se, this just sort of happened right around the end of December and beginning of January. But “My 2020 Diet Plan” just sounds better doesn’t it? Let me give you some background as to why I’m […]

But don’t take wellness as just being “fit” or “skinny” or eating your vegetables. Wellness should encompass all aspects of health. How healthy is your skin? How healthy are your joints?

Not to brag or anything, but I have successfully inspired two people to get into hot yoga recently and I am just so dang proud. Not of myself, but I’m proud of the friends who are wanting to try it out. Hot yoga is definitely my favorite work out. Every time I go, it’s like […]
I personally think that unless you are an actual fitness model, fitness vlogger, or fitness blogger, it is very challenging to lose weight and keep it off. Obviously if you’re getting paid to lose weight and to workout and to have a nice figure, you’re going to be a little more motivated. But if you […]
Once upon a time, I tried meal prepping to 1.) eat healthier, and 2.) save money by avoiding eating at restaurants. It really worked for me when I was in college because I was so poor and hungry, but now that I’m out of college and I can afford to eat, I just don’t really […]
It’s the New Year so a lot of people have health goals, whether that be losing weight, eating healthier, toning your body, etc. And you shouldn’t have to give up those goals just because you’re going on vacation. In fact, if you have self-discipline, it should be pretty easy to stay healthy while traveling! But […]
