Work Out Motivation Via New Sneakers
shoes | leggings | tshirt One of my 2017 goals is to work out consistently. When I made this a top priority in my life, I realized how dated my workout wear is – especially my shoes. With the help of KicksUSA, I no longer have that issue. Having a “cute” ensemble isn’t mandatory when you work out, but I have found that it does help with my moral. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect sneakers that I can wear with anything and I found them on the KicksUSA website. I LOVE these Adidas kicks and I’ve made everyone (including my very fashionable niece) jealous that I have…

Why Beautycounter? Because we deserve better!
I started using Beautycounter almost three years ago when one of my friends started talking to me about the products. I’ve tried lots of “natural” and “organic” brands since changing my lifestyle and they never met my standards. Organic doesn’t always mean safe. Lead, mercury, arsenic. You can have a tube of organic lipstick, that doesn’t mean there isn’t lead in it. After downloading the “Healthy Living” app, I found out that the reason why was because those products that were labeled as safe and non toxic were the exact opposite. I encourage you to download the app for yourself, start plugging in your beauty products and see what exactly…

Blessed by warmer South Carolina weather
shirt | jeans | boots | lip | necklace Y’all, I am so happy I could do a little dance. After an entire week, my husband is finally home! He had to take a work trip and for six days it was just me and the kids. We made it through but it was tough. I took a break from social media last weekend because the kids just needed my full attention and it was much appreciated. My appreciation for single parents or ones with spouses overseas grows bigger by the minute and being alone with the kids for almost a week directed a lot of my thoughts towards them!…

What Cooking with Green Chef has Taught me
As many of y’all know, I work from home. I spent most of my time home and we maybe eat out twice (if I am lucky) a week. This means that I am constantly in the kitchen making snacks and meals for everyone. This can get so tiring and also put me in a cooking rut and I feel like I am making the same things over and over and spending long periods of time in the kitchen. Enter Green Chef, the answer to my cooking prayers! Green Chef is the only USDA-certified organic meal kit delivery service available. I’ve found their menu options to be super healthy, diverse and…

Why I decided to change my Lifestyle
Something that I feel compelled to talk about this week is my lifestyle and how it came to be. I’ve talked about this in the past but it was when my blog was new and I had a smaller following. I get asked health questions numerous times a day and I want to share all of my knowledge with y’all! I’ve also seen a backlash after my transition and it’s something that I want to address. I didn’t change my lifestyle for anyone else. I repeat, I didn’t do it to “be cool” or try and “one up” anyone. I changed because I saw that the way I was living…
