Reset your metabolism the healthy way w/ Haylie Pomroy’s The Fast Metabolism Diet! #FastMetabolismDiet
Since the car wreck, I have really been trying to get myself back on track. I know I have said it a million times, but it’s not so much about losing the weight. It’s about eating healthy, staying active, and finding your balance. I eat healthy, but I have had a hard time with the lack of intense physical activity. When I was offered this sponsored opportunity with SheSpeaks, I thought what do I have to lose! Starting stats: weight: 122 pounds waist: 33 inches hips: 35 inches 15 pounds is what I have been trying to lose. I go through phases that I am an all or nothing type person. But I don’t want to walk, I want to run! I don’t want to do the modified version of my intense workouts! There comes a time that I just have to accept my...
Read MoreUpcycle Broken Crayons: Use Solar Oven (or oven) to make crayons #sustainability
If you have kids, odds are likely you have some broken crayons… You can easily turn them into fun shapes with the help from the sun on warm days (or oven to speed up the process)! ~Peel off wrappers~ This is a great job for all ages. See my 3 year old helping me! ~Place crayons in selected molds~ We are making these are party favors for a birthday, so we selected lego brick & minifigure molds. There really is no right or wrong way to do this. You can break the pieces smaller to melt quicker as well as you can do solid or go for a tie dye effect. ~~~~~ If using a solar oven, see my how-to so that you can make your own by clicking here! Place the solar oven out for a few hours before you start cooking, so it can warm up. Depending on the temperature,...

Read MoreAllergy Season with Fram Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter #FresherCar #cbias
Since we moved to Oklahoma, I have had issues with allergies for the first time in my life. I was not expecting the way my body literally rejects the great outdoors in the Spring and hoped that my body would adjust yet with 3 years there’s no end in sight. I love that weather apps now let you know days that it will be bad for people who deal with allergies. Anyways, this is what I have been dealing with great weather and high pollen levels. I come from a family of handy people who like to diy like my uncle who rebuilds cars. When I was in high school my brother even taught me how to change my own oil, so Fram is a brand I am familiar with. During Spring time, I can’t let the fresh in by opening the windows in our house or car. I really miss being...
Read MoreCherished Family Moments & Values: Bigelow Tea family-owned company passed down generations #cbias
Family traditions and values are priceless. Carrying on traditions that my mom and grandma started like drinking Bigelow Tea is important for many reasons. It’s not just about drinking tea, but it’s about the memories and calming effects that I love from a company that values the same things that I do. It’s about all those Sunday dinners at grandma’s. It’s about even as a adult coming home and enjoying a cup of Bigelow Tea with my mom before the boys wake up. My mom and I have a close relationship no matter where my husband’s job relocates us too! Girl Talk with my mom drinking a cup of Bigelow Tea is definitely a cherished moment. Since my dad died last year, I think I have come to cherish these moments even more! We are 3...

I am frustrated. At 30, I am not in the best shape for me. This was me at my peak about a year and a half ago… Below is a more recent picture. Today I could stand to lose about 15 pounds and tone back up. `It’s not just about the weight loss, but about the confidence I feel when I am taking care of my body. You know that feeling when you look at a picture where you see the extra weight in your trouble areas that’s where I am at right now. Being petite, the extra weight shows. In the 1st picture, I could push myself beyond what I thought I was ever capable of! However, since a car wreck last march leaving me with nerve damage, I am unable to workout like I use to. I have been forced to ease up on the intensity and I miss that! I am now doing more...
