How We Ate Healthy During Our Move
This post is in partner with Daily Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. As a mom of five, I try to lighten my load in whatever areas I can. The moving process can make you go a little crazy and it can cause you to eat out a lot right before and after you’ve moved. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the things that has really helped make a difference in my life is delegating some of my shopping through online channels. It’s BEYOND helpful not to have to spend the small amount of time I have alone in a store when I could be…

Nontoxic Interior Paint Options + Moodboards For Our New Home
When I decided to live a more non-toxic lifestyle, I started by majoring in the majors in minoring in the minors. I knew that this was going to be a long journey and if I wanted to do it then I was going to have to be happy with every change that I could make no matter how big or small. Shifting to a more non-toxic lifestyle is definitely not something that I would suggest for anyone to try and do all at once. Non-toxic living is something that I learn more and more about every single day and is a way that you can work to reduce the amount…

AT HOME LOWER BODY WORKOUT

Immune Boosting Pot Roast
My friend Stephinee was kind enough to gift me an Instant Pot after I gave birth to Mercy. Y’all, it has been a big blessing in our lives and something that we use multiple times a week. An Instant Pot is a pressure cooker that has multiple functions (pressure cook, sauté, and slow cook like a crockpot) that cooks under high pressure and only takes 20-70 minutes for most meals. Yes please! P.S. You can even cook desserts in it. OMG. I actually recently just sold my crock pot because I always forget to turn it on at the beginning of the day and then by the time I remember, there’s not enough time…

Much-cha love for Matcha Green Tea
So, what is matcha? Basically, it’s a concentrated form of green tea. The way that it’s grown and consumed keeps it packed full of essential vitamins and minerals. Matcha contains 137 times the antioxidants of regular green tea making it a super helper for your immune system. Matcha is also able to give you energy all day verses a burst which can make you feel jittery. It provides 4 to 6 hours of mild steady energy as it acts as both a stimulant and relaxant. This is super helpful when you have something random thrown your way and need to pivot! When you eat or drink matcha, it can help…
