Life's Journey Lately

-
Hình ảnh
Blogging and social media are ambiguous. On one side, I love sharing random pictures and writings of my daily life happenings - even the most monotonous that I get poked fun at. Additionally, I enjoy looking into everyone's lives: because of curiosity, to find new beauty tricks,  see new products, and/or find motivation, etc.  On the other side, sometimes I just want to be quiet. Sometimes I do not want to share about my life, what I am doing, and things like that. When that happens, people close to me or who read here regularly get concerned. It makes me emotional because I am still in awe that people read and follow my writings. I will never get over that either. I will never stop thanking people for reading, believing in me and seeing the good even when I can't.  Lately I have been in one of the "hermit" moods. My state of mind where I do not want to "publicly" share what is going on. There is not anything wrong, I have just felt in the mood to keep to my...

Hình ảnh
I was recently given product from the awesome company Nature Box to try and review. When the opportunity was presented to me, I immediately had to jump in. I am a busy and very on the go person, so being able to have healthy snacks readily available are essential to me. This prevents me from going through the drive-thru or stopping at a convenience store. The best part? You can get a free trial. NatureBox delivers a world of carefully sourced and nutritionist-approved foods right to your door.  Each snack contains wholesome ingredients - with no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors, zero grams trans fats, and no high fructose corn syrup. You can learn more about their   Product Promise here. I have to start with my favorite; the lemon tea biscuits. There is no other way to describe them other than absolutely delicious. They reminded me so much of everyone's beloved girl scout cookies, They had a bit of a crunch, but still soft, and a sweet taste; but not to the point of be...

3 Ways I Help Myself When I Lose My Weigh (Get it?)

-
Hình ảnh
The real world has been kicking my butt this week. I am so, so tired. I normally thrive and appreciate the hectic days in my office, but this week they are drowning me. I am normally liberated at new blogging opportunities and posts, but this week they are exhausting me. My mom was in town Monday through yesterday, which helped, and was so nice to have. I let loose a little and enjoyed time with her.  What has been bothering me most-- a lot of the reason why I am more tired than usual, and why I have had so much trouble sleeping lately is my RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). I was diagnosed in February. I started showing symptoms a year before though, but they were sporadic and did not happen often. At the time, I attributed the symptoms to overworking myself at the gym.  It feels like ever since I was diagnosed I have issues nearly every night when I get into bed, which is horrible for me because I absolutely love sleep, and I ensure I get plenty of it nightly. It is rare that I l...

It is simple, and I really like the taste.  1 pound of fresh chicken breast 1 cup of Walden Farm's (calorie free) BBQ Sauce 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup honey BBQ sauce 1 cup sugar free orange marmalade  4 tablespoons cornstarch  Couple dashes of ginger seasoning What you do: Cut chicken into small pieces Place in crockpot and add all other ingredients Stir to thoroughly combine OR Place ingredients in a tupperware container Stir to throughly combine Let marinate over night When ready to cook, place all ingredients in crockpot on high for 3-5 hours depending up on size and quantity.

Multitudes Of Individuals Often Wonder Does Capsiplex Work

-
By Evelyn Jones The naturally occurring ingredient, Capsicum, is clinically proven to stimulate metabolism and physically make weight loss easier. The Capsicum family of plants provides a wholesome way of reaching it but the amount of it that would need to be eaten makes buying extracts more convenient. Does Capsiplex work? Well, if the intention is to get a metabolic boost by ingesting more capsicum with less bother, yes, it does. Nothing will ever be able to replace a healthy way of life and moderation of diet as a replacement or shortcut for long term benefit. The advertising campaign displays banners and proclamations that will scream "clinically proven" and "scientifically researched", because they know that their clientele won't care enough to research which clinical lab or scientists did the work. Most of these clinical trials and scientists are paid for, as are the results that they reflect. Methodology is something that most people don't c...

Child Weight Tips For Parents By Demetrios Gabriel

-
By Katie Arden Childhood obesity, from what I have seen, is easily one of the most troublesome medical problems plaguing younger people today. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made it a point to mention that, back in 2012, around one third of adolescents were deemed to be over the healthy weight point. To say that this is an issue would be an understatement but it does not have to remain a problem. In fact, parents can attain tips from the best medical authorities, Demetrios Gabriel included. First of all, parents have to be mindful of just how much food that they are feeding their children. When a child says that they are full, it may not be the wisest choice to firmly tell them that they have to finish everything that is on their plate. Overeating is a serious problem and it is one that parents have to keep in mind when it comes to serving their children certain portions of food. It may seem like a challenge at first but, soon enough, moms and dads will...
