The First Pound Is The Hardest

I lost a pound last week. I've lost weight before, sure. In fact in any given month I fluctuate within about three pounds, gaining and losing without anything conscious on my part.

Motivated by my annual medical exam, an upcoming birthday (a milestone one at that,) and a family trip to Hawaii coming this fall, I set out Keep Reading >>

Outfitters Kauai

Waimea Canyon Downhill Bike Tour It's no secret that Kauai is where my heart lives. I am lucky enough to be able to go back twice a year and feed my soul. There's something about stepping into that tiny, open-air airport that fills my whole body with a feeling of peace and love. I love being able to go alone with the Hubs to Kauai. It gives us time to reconnect out of the hustle and Keep Reading >>

BodyBoss Ultimate Body Fitness Guide & Superfood Nutrition Guide

I love the fresh start of a new year. It's a time to evaluate where you're at, make new goals, and start anew with a clean slate. There's something about the beginning that is so inspiring! I have been a baby-making-factory for the last seven years. My body has been stretched and re-streched and has finally earned a much needed break from growing humans. This is my year to take back my body for Keep Reading >>

Easy! 3 Genius Steps to Lessen Anxiety

I was diagnosed with anxiety many, many years ago when I was in high school. It is human nature to worry, however, when it affects your day to day functions you may have an issue. “Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.” - Anaïs Nin For any of you that Keep Reading >>

Those are some serious biceps :) As most our loyal readers know, I have had Amber from Bicpes.After.Babies helping me along my fitness journey with her Macro Coaching program. It's definitely been a journey for me; and if I'm being honest, it's been more of a battle. I have had ups and downs, and it's been a huge bonus to have her in my corner cheering me on. For me it's not the exercising part Keep Reading >>

S&W Beans for Fall Favorites

This post was sponsored by S&W Beans as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Summer used to be my favorite season. The swimming pool, the beach, the hot sunshine, and the bikinis. Now that I am a mother, you'd never know I even lived through the summer if you looked at my paste-y white legs. Now I spend my entire summer in Keep Reading >>

LiquiSlim 24-The Freedom of Weight Loss without Stimulants

The older I get the harder it seems to lose those last stubborn five pounds. I exercise, eat well and live a pretty busy lifestyle but with my metabolism slowing down and halfway to 40 I have finally realized that I need help. LiquiSlim 24 didn't sound very interesting to me at first. You see, I dislike anything like pills or fads that claim to help you lose weight. However, I learned that Keep Reading >>

Health-Ade Kombucha

    If you would have mentioned the kombucha to me a few years ago I wouldn't have had a clue what it was. Fast forward to today and kombucha (more precisely Health-Ade Kombucha) is one of our favorite drinks. We first found Health-Ade Kombucha while shopping the aisles of our local Trader Joe's. Sadly, they only carry one flavor so I reached out to Health-Ade to see if the rest of their line was Keep Reading >>
