    Have you ever heard of blue light? I am going to assume no because until recently I had no idea what it was myself! Blue light comes from the sun, as well as LED lights and digital device screens. People today are exposed to more blue light than ever. Blue light suppresses our body’s release of melatonin, which helps regulate our sleep cycles. More of it during the day helps us to stay awake, and less of it at night makes us sleep better.

    Imma Little Rusty

    sunnies* | top | cape – sold out (similar) | pants | boots Ok ya’ll… this blog is gonna be REALLY REALLY REALLY real. I keep getting questions about how I have lost my weight after having a baby so you’re about to find out! This is a topic that I am super passionate about because I have seen so many women post party (including myself) try and snap back to their pre baby body and it’s SO unhealthy. Physically and mentally! You just grew and birthed a human being, give yourself some grace. You won’t bounce back overnight… or even a few months so don’t get discouraged when you…
