    Staying hydrated with Healthy Human

    One of the first things that I changed about my diet when I transitioned to a healthier lifestyle was my water intake. I went from drinking sodas and sweet tea to consuming nothing but water. It’s important to consistently drink water because it helps keep you full and hydrated. People confuse hunger for thirst a lot. If we would just take the time to drink a few glasses of water before reaching for an unhealthy snack, it would save us a lot of unnecessary calories and pounds. Once I got into a water routine, I would down 10 glasses or more a day and always ICE cold. Why ice cold?…

    Mama’s new ‘do

    I get asked so many questions about my hair, I really wanted to take the time to make a blog post answering them. I was well overdue for a trim and a color for my hair. I don’t really get that much time to myself so setting up a hair appointment and knowing that I would be away from the kids for half the day wasn’t something I was very excited about. I researched salons in Myrtle Beach because it’s about an hour away from my home and I came across Marie’s profile on Instagram. Marie Cusaac is a hairstylist at Mirage Hair Studio in Myrtle Beach. She has been…

Part of staying healthy is by eating organic, fresh foods with as little ingredients as possible. Smoothies are something that are made daily in our home. Sometimes we have them for breakfast, post workout or just for…
