Home Workout Routine

by

Hi friends! I hope you having a great day so far! Today I am going to tell you about my at home workout routine. During this time we are spending at home, it can be super easy to do nothing, eat junk food and just watch TV all day. However, I advise you NOT to do that. Here is my workout routine that I have been following daily to insure I am hitting my fitness and health goals. I hope this helps someone out there! 🙂

Walk 10,000 steps everyday

Now this might sound crazy, but here me out. Our bodies need exercise. Our bodies are designed for exercise. Therefore, we must be sure we are getting exercise every single day. 10,000 steps might seem like a lot, but its really not. 2,000 steps = about 1 mile. Therefore 10,000 steps is 5 miles. Now I am not saying you need to run 5 miles, I said walk. This is the one routine I make sure to do daily even if I don’t do my weight training session. Now you might be wondering how to track your steps. Here is how I do it. I bought an apple watch and a step tracker watch. Both watches have worked great for me to be able to track my steps and calories I am burning. Also vitamin D you will get from walking outside is essential for your health and immune system!

Workout 5-6 days a week

You might think I am crazy, but I still have been working out 5-6 days a week. How? I bought a few items off of amazon to use for an out home gym. Here is what I got (link on the item to go to amazon).

 

 

 

Take your vitamins

Now you might be wondering why I am talking about vitamins. Its because they are ESSENTIAL to your health!!! You need vitamins because the nutrition in our food is not even 1/10 of what it was 50 years ago. Back then, people got proper nutrition and minerals from there food, but today since the use of GMOs, chemicals,  pesticides, hormones etc. it is impossible to get your daily nutrition. Although, if you can eat 7-10 cups of veggies and fruits a day in order to get your daily intake by all means do that! However, if you are like me and you cannot eat that much you might need vitamin supplements to help.

These are some great tips that I have learned over the years. Please watch my youtube video down below to learn more 🙂

Work from Home Guide

by

Hi guys! Happy Friday!

I hope everyone is having a great day so far. I am very excited to share with y’all today 10 essentials for working at home! During these crazy times we are living it is easy to give up and say I am just going to watch netflix all day… even though you should be working. I hope these things help motivate and encourage you! These items are what I use to keep me focused, motivated, and happy! Please comment if you have any must haves for working at home!

Laptop

This is by far my favorite laptop. I have used so many laptops and this one beats it by far. Its the Macbook Air! It has the fastest speed and all the tools I need to accomplish the work! ONLY $999 !!!

Laptop case 

If you already have a laptop, but you need a case for it this is the one! And if you think you don’t need a case… you do! I broke my last laptop by letting one little drop of water get into the key board… dont make the same mistake! Check out these cases! ONLY $20!!

Also this bag I put my laptop in is waterproof and so cute and cheap! ONLY $18!!

Airpods

Okay I am going to be honest… I wasnt a huge fan of airpods when they first came out… I thought they were pointless. BUT when I tried out my sisters airpods I fell in love. They are noise cancelling, so easy to charge, and so easy to find because they are white! I use them for work 24/7! Only $139!! They are $20 OFF right now!!!

Blue light glasses

These glasses are SO essential for me especially since we are on the computer or phones all the time. I used to get such bad headaches when I was staring at the screen for too long and these glasses completely fixed it! Not only did they cure my headaches they are SO cute!! ONLY $18 for 2 pack!!!

Cozy slippers

These slippers are a MUST for working at home. Not only are they cute, but they are sooo comfy! I wear them every single day and they are still in pretty good shape! If you are looking for some home shoes… here they are! 🙂 ONLY $22

Mug!!! 

Here are a couple of my favorite mugs:

Elevated Faith Mug

Marble Coffee Mug

Sweet Water Mug 

Nordstrom Custom Mug

Notepad

Having a To-Do list is essential when you are working at home. Why? Because if you dont have a list, you will forget, get sidetracked, slack off etc. It has been said that the most successful people have a list every single day and they make sure they are completing every task! I dont know one person that is successful and just “winged it”, but having a notepad is very important to your success!

 

Grateful journal

This may not seem like an essential, but in today’s world it is. Having a grateful journal has changed my life. It has helped me to be positive and hopeful on the most dreadful days. And I know it can change your days as well! Just try it here :)

Cute/Cozy Clothing

Okay lets be honest… it would be nice to be in our pjs all day while we work… however its actually scientifically proven if you get up and get yourself dressed you will be more productive! So here are a couple of cute, cozy shirts and pants! All under $20!!!!

5 Healthy Treats

by

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great day so far. My last post of this blog got deleted… so here it is again… enjoy 🙂

Healthy treats can be very difficult to find… especially in the todays society where something can be labeled “healthy” or “natural” when really it isnt at all. So first thing is first please keep in mind that treats are suppose to be something that is a rarity or a once of week kinda thing… not an everyday thing especially if you are trying to lose weight or get lean. I hope you enjoy these EASY, healthy, delicious recipes and foods that I have found to be the most healthy and delicious when it comes to treats! These are my go-to sweets! You can get the items off of amazon by clicking on the sub titles. 🙂

Comment below if you have any healthy treat suggestions!

Smart sweet gummies

If you are a gummy person you are going to LOVE these. 3 grams of sugar, 80 calories per bag!!! Its every girls dream come true and they taste so delicious. I normally get these at local grocery store but due to high depend its hard to get them so I just ordered a big package off of amazon! My favorite is the peach rings... they are to die for! 🙂

 

Dark Chocolate 70%+

This is my go-to chocolate. When I first tried this I was like wow but then would I looked at the nutrition label I was like no way! Because its so tasty and smooth. In my opinion its better than dove chocolate! 🙂

 

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

     Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 egg

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.

    2. Using a wooden spoon, mix together the peanut butter, white sugar and egg until smooth.

    3. Form dough into heaping tablespoons (about 3/4 inch). Then roll the dough ball in a small bowl of sugar, if desired, to coat the outside. Place on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart, and then use a fork to flatten and form a cross pattern.

    4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cookies are just slightly browned on the bottom. Be careful not to over-bake. Remove and let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    5. Serve and enjoy!

 

Popcorn

Best popcorn ever. If you are looking for a low calorie, crunchy and delicious popcorn here it is! They have plenty of flavors on amazon but this one is by far my favorite! 50 calories per cup!

4 Ingredient Cookies

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix very well, until fully combined. If using chocolate chips, stir them in with a spatula.
  • Lightly wet your hands and form 8 balls with the cookies. Place each ball on the lined mat, and press each ball into a cookie shape. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until slightly golden on the edges. Remove from the oven.
  • Allow cooling on the mat for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

My Top 7 Amazon Products for Healthy Lifestyle

by

These are my top 7 amazon products to having and maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle! I have tried SO many products over the years and here are my top 7. These products will help you live a happier and healthier lifestyle for God! Just remember that God is the only thing we need in this life and everything else is just a blessing!

Garden of Life Organic protein powder-

This is the BEST protein powder! I have tried SOO many protein powders and this by far beats every single one! I use this protein powder almost every day in my oatmeal, protein shake, smoothie, pancake/waffle. Why organic?

https://amzn.to/2VTn6NO

 

 

Garden of Life Pre-workout-

BEST pre-workout ever.

I have tried SOO many pre-workouts and most of the products I have tried used to give me the shakes and my heart would beat almost uncontrollably and I felt very unnatural. Although when I came along the garden of life pre-workout I fell in LOVE with it! It has NOTHING artificial in it and its only 50 calories!

 

Hydro Jug Pink

I have tried many hydro jugs and this one is the BEST. It doesn’t leak and it holds a gallon which is what I drink in a day so it’s perfect for making sure I am drinking enough water!

 

Star-west greens powder

Greens powder is a very interesting and controversial thing because many people believe that we can just eat a salad and we dont need actual green vitamins. However, the vitamin content and mineral content has decreased by 40% in the past 30 years. If you wanted to get the same vitamin C that your grandma had you would have to eat 8 oranges compared to your grandmas 1 orange. I believe this product is very helpful and getting proper nutrition and vitamins to nourish your body.

 

 

 

Garden of life Probiotics

This product is one of my favorites because we do not get enough probiotics in our food in order to digest food. I have struggled with digestion most of my life and this product changed everything! This product is essential for a healthy gut and sliming down your stomach and helping digest your food better!

 

 

Multi Collagen Powder

Want to get long hair? Do to grow your nails? Want a healthy gut? Would you like to have clear/soft skin? Well, then this product is for you! Our bodies are made up of collagen therrefore we NEED collagen in order to thrive! If you are looking for a healthy you, I highly recommend getting this collagen! I have tried many collagens and this by far is the BEST!

 

Just so you guys know, I am with the amazon affiliate program. So I do make a tiny commission off of this, but it’s not about the money. It’s about showing y’all good products for a healthier and happier lifestyle for God!
