My daughter is hilarious and curious, but like most toddlers, she’s also stubborn and searching for new ways to push her limits. I’ve noticed a change in her taste buds as well.

Due to Covid-19 and work from home, it’s extremely important for us to minimize the toxic chemicals in our home.

Last month, I posted a weekly goal setting challenge. Hopefully if you followed the challenge, you are making positive steps towards the goals that you set for yourself! Whether you completed the goal challenge or not, this week’s time management challenge will dramatically change how you view your schedule and how you spend your time.

Thyroid issues are currently very common in our country. Symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, joint pain, and depression can all occur if the thyroid isn’t functioning and balancing hormones properly. Because the symptoms of thyroid issues are affecting the body both physically and mentally, a lot of questions come up when it comes to fitness… like “Can I work out? Are there exercises that I shouldn’t be doing?” In most cases, you can and should work out when dealing with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism (*always consult with your physician)! But the key is to not over-do it! You definitely want to listen to your body at all times! Exercising can help combat symptoms from thyroid dysfunction by increasing energy, increasing bone density, increasing metabolism, improving mood, and promoting better sleep.

The biggest obstacle that most have to overcome when wanting to make positive lifestyle changes, is overcoming our own mindset and thoughts. We tell ourselves stories to why we can’t do something. Like, “I’m too tired to work out because I work full-time,” or “I injured my knee in high school, so I can’t push myself…” Creating a healthier life, especially with committing to a regular fitness routine, starts with shifting your old way of thinking, to having more empowering conversations with yourself, that lead to small, but impactful, changes every day.

After having baby, I quickly realized how helpful essential oils were going to be in my life.

Not having enough time is one of the biggest obstacles when it comes to sticking with a consistent fitness routine. Which is totally understandable. Work gets crazy, family life gets crazy… The balance can get extremely tough. But there are ways that you can still make fitness part of your everyday life!

So, you’re short on cash and can’t afford that expensive gym membership right now.

With kids, colds are bound to happen. Especially since they are constantly being exposed to new things each day. So, I often get asked what I personally do to deal with minor cold symptoms for my daughter.

I often get asked what I think are the most important aspects of creating lifelong health changes.
