Stretches you should try to do every morning + night!
One of the things that I try to do every day for my health is stretch. Stretching is important. When you take the time to stretch it helps to keep your muscles flexible, strong and working properly. For our joints to keep a range of motion, stretching is needed to maintain flexibility. When we do not do it, our muscles shorten and become tight. This is a problem when you try to use them because they are weak and not able to extend correctly. I am sure that you don’t want discomfort in your workouts or a injury during one, so let me help! You don’t have to have a lot…

AirDoctor + Wildfire Season
This post is in partner with AirDoctor. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Y’all know how much I love my AirDoctor air purifier. It’s been especially helpful in my new home as we paint the walls in keeping our indoor air clean. We don’t have many, if any, wildfires here in South Carolina, but my friends out west in California, Oregon, and Washington have been getting more than their fair share the past couple years. In just 2021 alone, there have been over 4,000 fires in the United States – significantly more than in previous year – and some have been…

Non Toxic Sunscreen Guide
The kids are officially back in school and I’m dreaming of cooler temps, but the reality is… it’s still HOT HOT HOT here in South Carolina. Now that we have a pool in our backyard, the kids are wanting to swim 24/7 when they’re not at school and I am making sure that they are covered in sunscreen. There will be no burns on my watch! Before I had kids, I was really lacking knowledge in the sunscreen department. My idea of protection was slathering on Banana Boat body oil and feeling the burn! (cringe!) After I had Nolan, I started researching about sunscreens to use and was shocked at…

How I’ve Helped Stop Psoriasis Flare Ups
For over ten years, I’ve battled with a skin condition called psoriasis. Psoriasis is a common skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. It causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes painful. Psoriasis is a chronic disease that often comes and goes. When I first started experiencing these symptoms, I didn’t know what was causing it or what it was. It was really embarrassing dealing with this issue and not knowing what it was or how to treat it. It wasn’t until I started transitioning into a healthier lifestyle that I…
