My Definition Of Healthy

May 9, 2013 by

Morning all! How’s the week treating you so far? I’m hoping well.

One of my major passions in life is food. Particularly, healthy foods. I really believe in an all around healthy lifestyle. This includes a relatively health and nutrient filled diet. For me, spending my time on cooking, planning, and shopping for those “clean” foods and recipes is pretty normal in my life.

As you may guess, I actually love going to the grocery store, wandering aimlessly down the aisles looking for new foods to try, or over-hyped items to try out for myself.

Reasons To Rest

April 23, 2013 by

Things have been unusual around here. My days are very regimented usually.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are strength training and pilates days, Tuesday and Thursday are my spinning days, and Saturday and Sunday are either yoga, rest, or spin. Every week I abide by this schedule without fail. Sometimes I exercise everyday and don’t allow a rest day at all.

My relationship with exercise has always been rocky. Have you ever felt guilty for taking rest days? Does the thought make you anxious? For me it does, and it’s important for me to escape the mindset that more exercise is better. I need to find things outside of fitness that will allow me to recover and recharge my mental and physical batteries.

Intuitive Living

April 15, 2013 by

Oh hey there. Happy Monday to everyone! Why yes, even though it’s Monday it can in fact be marvelous.

Another weekend down, another week begins! I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to FLY by since I have a lot coming up, which reminds me I need to get some things figured out within in the next few days. Such a procrastinator. It was one of those weekends where I should have been crossing things off my to do list, but instead did other things I simply enjoy more like…

Simple Stuff

April 11, 2013 by

Happy Thursday all!

One of my favorite things about the Spring time would have to be that it’s still cool enough to quietely enjoy my tea first thing in the morning without dying of heat stroke and the fact it’s not too cold to eat my overnight baked oats without the need of a heating blanket and 2 pairs of socks. It’s the simple stuff.

De-Stress Your Life

April 9, 2013 by

Hello friends. It’s now Tuesday, although it kind of feels more like Monday to me.

To say I’m overwhelmed right now would be an understatement. Instead of having my stress control me, I’m taking control and doing everything I can to de-stress my life.

Stress sucks, we all experience it, we all need to find healthy ways cope with it. Before, I used to deal with stress the worst way possible; skipping meals, ignore my feelings, and exercise in full out intensity. Not anymore.

Here are some natural, healthy , and simple ways I use to break-up with my stress.

Life Realizations

April 4, 2013 by

Today happened to be quite a beautiful day. Not only was it bright and beautiful outdoors, but my mind was filled with inspiration, positivity, and radiant energy. There are lots of things I want to change in my life, but this feeling isn’t one of them. To keep up this surge of happiness, I’ve started to realize the things I need to start believing in more.

We are the only one’s standing in the way of our true happiness. Only we have the power to be the best version of ourselves. After sitting with these thoughts, I’ve come up with a list of life realizations that I believe in.

March Favorites

April 2, 2013 by

Another month has come and gone. This time of year, things are finally starting to brighten up. Including fashion, foods, and the weather of course.

While I have an appreciation for The Fall and Winter months, I definitely love the Spring and Summertime for the lovely weather we’re greeted with. Especially this week, it’s been unreal. We’re not here to talk about the weather though, let’s look back to my March Favorites. I love recapping the month with these posts.

Currently I’m {Feeling Honest}

March 28, 2013 by

Good morning all! Hope your week has gone splendid so far!

As you all know, I’m a fan of living in the moment. There’s a point in life where you just come to realize that life is better spent being yourself. Embracing your quirks, and behaviors that maybe other people don’t quite understand.

Even though I’ve been through a lot in the past, through that whole process I’ve become much more confident and comfortable in my own skin. With that, I need to be honest with a few things that I’m currently doing and feeling.

Eating…

Squash.
