I was nervous to weigh myself this week, not necessarily for myself but because I'm being transparent as I share my progress. Before stepping on the scale I was creating stories in my head wondering if my hormones aren't balanced and second guessed whether my exercise and activity levels were enough. This was last night...

Second week and I'm NOT down BUT, it was a minimal gain and I am still down 1.6 pounds from the start. In my food and activity diary below, you can see how my overall calorie intake was lower this week averaging 1690/day, but my activity level was also much lower so I wasn't burning...

Being the first week you'd think I would have planned a little better to have certain foods in the house - but it wasn't the case.

Over the past four years, there have been incredibly challenging times while also bringing so many lessons for personal growth. While I intended 2019 be the year I begin to THRIVE, the universe as usual had a unique way to get me there. After my Father passed away in January, I was pulled into a vortex... Continue Reading →
I knew writing a blog would be a form of therapy, but I didn’t realize just how impactful the process would be! While attempting to write How to Detox - Part 2, I was reflecting back to when I started using certain products and why I was driven to make specific changes in my environment. This...

It was throughout my first pregnancy and my son’s first year that my intuition led me to become increasingly aware of the products I was bringing into the house and putting on our bodies.
