Health Journey – the “NO” list
This really is a lifestyle change, not just a temporary diet. I have worked really hard to change my thinking when it comes to health, and that is the hardest part of remaining healthy. For the first part of the blog series, I have compiled a “no” list. These are things I suggest you cut out of your life so you can change for the better. It would be a great idea to print this out and keep it with you until it becomes a part of your daily thought process. 1. Do NOT drink sodas.The reason why sodas are bad is because they are sweetened with artificial sweeteners like…

This post is sponsored by Life Leaf Medical CBD. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information.If you follow natural minded practitioners or nutritionists, you’ve probably heard about CBD (Cannabidiol) oil.

I, like everyone else, loved walking past Bath and Body Works in the mall and catching a whiff of the new scents for winter.

A Healthy Deodorant Option
This post is in partner with Stinkbug Naturals! All thoughts and opinion are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. You all know I’m a sucker for trying new brands of healthy products. I have posted about my pursuit to find a high-performing deodorant several times in the last few years and how I am so glad I was led to try Stinkbug Naturals. A self-proclaimed “stinky girl” this brand has been my go-to for a while now and they have yet to let me down. Normally, I can use their regular formula but during my pregnancy and post-partum, the influx of hormones always leaves me extra…
