Let's Talk- Summer Plans

Source

Happy Memorial Day! Today is the day that we honor our heroes that have fallen. I am so thankful for them on this day and everyday!

 

 

Today Erika, Andrea and I are talking all about are summer plans! I don't know about you but I am so ready for this summer to begin!

 

Blake and I have another trip planned to New York City! I could go on for days about how much I love this place but for your sake I won't. If you have ever thought about or wanted to go to NYC I highly recommend it, it's a great city!

 

 

A lot of days spent with this sweet guy traveling and exploring nature. Look at blue that sky is in the picture below!

 

 

 

I hope to spend time with my family as well and just to have the best summer yet!

Friday Favorites

Today I am linking up with Erika and Narci to share my Friday favorites with you!

ONE

Coconut oil has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It has so many different uses and is overall a versatile product. I use it as body lotion, facial cleanser, and even mixed in with a face mask. So if you ever try coconut oil I think you too, will become quite addicted!

TWO

 How gorgeous is the shot I captured. The picture doesn't do this any justice. It's amazing to see something as pretty as this after it was a rainy, stormy day.

THREE

That this weekend is a three day weekend, wahoo! I'm going to spend this Memorial Day with my family eating yummy food, and I hope you do too!

FOUR

That my family and I are going on vacation next week/weekend. I am so excited to spend time with them!

Those are my Friday favorites! Here's to a fun filled three day weekend!

A Healthier Me

The past couple of months I have noticed that I am always tired and I don't have energy like I used to. A couple of years ago I was a runner. In the mornings I would get up and run and it would make me feel great first thing, and all through out the day. I have noticed after not being as active as I used to be that I am always lacking energy. There are two things to factor into me not having energy, one is that my diet has been horrible, I felt the need to give myself a treat multiple times a week. Number two is that I have not been active.

So today I have had enough with my low energy levels and I am going down the road towards a healthier me. I have been told since I was a little girl that everything in moderation is okay. What that means is if you want a treat (ice cream, brownies, chocolate, etc.) then you can have one just don't order the largest size you can order or eat the whole carton of ice cream.

 

 

Becoming a healthier me is all about eating the foods that my body wants and needs to survive. I don't need a huge cookie dough brownie (although some days I feel like I do!), the sugar will give me temporary energy and then I will crash. Our bodies need healthy nutrients that keep us going!

 

 

So here's to a healthier me (and you!)
