Self Love Movement
So often enough we don’t take time to care of ourselves. With the self love movement, realizing that a burnt out candle is no good if there's no wick left is the first part of the ongoing battle.
Face it, we all know we’re burning candles at both ends here.

32 Birthdays & 32 things
So today marks the day I’ve been on this Earth for 32 years… How crazy right? **No one believes I’m 32, everyone guesses about 25-28. Guess I’m aging gracefully…like a fine wine… haha** This year, I wanted to do something special. My birthday (2/17) is always a weird time: – 3 days after Valentine’s Day (but yay for discounted candy!) – tax prep season – usually freaking cold – everyone is sick/getting over being sick So since it’s 2020 + something different + it’s another birthday + turning 32 (oddly inspired by 32 flavors of ice cream haha), I wanted to do a Birthday Year bucket list. I’ve been struggling…

Shining Moments – February 9 – 15, 2020
February is sure flying by (we’re halfway done already!) and there’s been changes & love in the air. This week’s list may seem sorta small, but I was very occupied this week – finishing up a training manual (ended up being 146 pages + extra stuff copied off in an Appendix section), working all of the jobs, taking up an offer for a side job and taking up a babysitting job. This week was a complete whirlwind, but I definitely got different types of love this week (which just happened to coincide with Valentine’s Day/Week). Shining moments – This was my last full-time hour week at my job and I…

Eat Drink and Be Merry, Let's Get Real, Life is Worth Living For, Self Love Movement, Where's the Apple (Keep the Doctor away), Work It Out
Give it to me Stat…
Hello again! You might have seen last week where I suggested some apps if you had created some 2020 fitness goals. If you downloaded some of those or others (share in the comments which ones you chose!), then you’ll well on your way. As Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher said, “The Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” I am very proud of you for making the decision to move towards a healthier lifestyle. I know when I first started out, some of the lingo about body stats was difficult to comprehend at first. Of course, as new studies and new techniques come out, things don’t stay…

It’s Gonna be a Rocking 2020 Fitness Year…
Happy 2020 everyone! I hope that the new year is already treating you good. Recently our HR department at work hosted a Maintain Don’t Gain [weight] challenge. Since I am part of the Wellness Committee, I was asked to be the coach for the duration of the challenge to send out weekly tips and inspiration. Our challenge is almost over, but I got some good feedback from the participants, so I thought that you, my wonderful reader, might also like some of the tips that I shared. Since’s it a brand new year, that means the pressure of setting goals, intentions and resolutions is upon us already. You’re…

Gratitude Dare
It’s November and I’m sure you’re seeing a lot of “being grateful” posts. Gratitude is a big thing! It may seem so small and trivial, but being in that mindset takes time to become a habit. It simply doesn’t happen over night! One of my blogging BFFs, Wendy over The Gratefulist, totally has it down and her recent emails have been totally inspiring! Check out her 2 recent posts about 6 mistakes you might be making while practicing gratitude (and how to avoid them) and 6 alternatives to writing a gratitude list (for when gratitude is not just your thing). These are definitely ones to save! So the creative…
