Spending the day in my favorite place…. The kitchen. So I thought that I’d drop a few of my favorite holiday cooking tips here:

🌲Prep as many dishes as you can in advance. It will make the day of run SO much smoother.

🌲When preparing dishes ahead of time, cover with foil. This way you can label what it is, as well as, the time and temperature it needs.

🌲 The trick to the smoothest mashed potatoes? Skip the mixer! Opt for a potato ricer instead. It takes an extra few minutes but the results are well worth the wait.

When do you eat “Christmas” Dinner?

The one reason that I hear the most from people who don’t, is that it’s SO stressful.

It absolutely can be. Stress can steal all of the joy that’s supposed to come with the holiday season.

But it doesn’t have to.

Give yourself a little extra time, grace and have a plan.

This is the plan that I use to prepare for Christmas to mitigate the stress.

You may notice that it only goes to November. That’s because I like to be DONE ✅ in time to relax and enjoy the entire month of December.

This month (July) is all about Lists, Lists and… MORE Lists.

To kickstart your holiday spirit and celebrate Christmas in July…. What is your favorite Christmas movie?

Working on a little something… Stay tuned 🎄🎅🏼

Packing lunches for the week now, then it’s time to start Banana Upside Down Cake.

“Women’s obsession with Rip isn’t because he is good-looking. It’s the patience he has with Beth, no matter how unreasonable she is. It’s that he lets her be as crazy as she needs to be without calling her terrible names or walking away or leaving her. It’s how he defends and takes up for her even when he knows she’s wrong. And how he never calls her out about being wrong in front of other people. He saves that for when they are in private. Because in public he’s on her side 100% and makes sure everyone knows it. That’s the fantasy all women have became obsessed over since the first season of Yellowstone. That is love ❤️❤️”

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year 😢. I don’t think most people realize just how much her passing effected me. SO much (not so great) was going on in my life and her passing was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

We all have goals for our lives and one of mine was always to have the honor of curtsying before her 😢.

She was and will forever be an inspiration to me. I think this quote sums it up perfectly 👑

“History tells of many stories in which we are called to something we never expected.

Sometimes we are called to a responsibility or obligation that may not be what we envisioned or even wanted for ourselves.

Sometimes that entails hardships or burdens we never could have anticipated.

Sometimes that requires enormous sacrifice.

Sometimes that means we spend our entire lives under the scrutiny and in the service of others.

And when we find ourselves in this predicament, we have one of two options—

We can either choose to give up, and buckle under the weight of what is expected of us.

Or we can rise to the occasion, stumbling around blindly at first, and figuring it out as we go, but all the while doing the very best we can with what we have.

No one understood this better than Queen Elizabeth II of England.

It’s hard to believe that the woman who reigned at the helm of the British monarchy for 70 years is gone.

She will be always be remembered . . .

For the incredibly long and rich legacy of service to her country,

For her hard work and dedication to her duties,

For her unwavering faith,

For her steadfast levelheadedness,

And her impartial leadership.

But I will always admire her most as a woman who bravely stepped forward and stepped up when she was called unexpectedly to greatness.”

We talk about establishing a good support system when embarking on our health and fitness journey.

And while it is important to have people in your corner who are holding you accountable.

We often over look perhaps the most important piece of the support system…

What’s really supporting you through EVERY workout?

For the ladies it’s a good quality sports bra!

The more you have to “support” the more important it becomes to find the right one.

Because most of us aren’t trying to have a Janet a la Super Bowl # # halftime show moment in the gym.

Wearing the wrong sports bra can leave you feeling uncomfortable and self conscious. So instead of focusing on your workout your focused on adjusting/readjusting or even practicing poor form in order to prevent a wardrobe malfunction.

My favorite and a staple in my workout wardrobe is the Solstice Bra. It is the best of both worlds, it’s super cute/flattering and provides the best support while being super comfortable to wear.

The thick straps with a cross back design keep everything pulled up and back.The high side minimizes side b**b exposure. While the wide band at the bottom provides support.

It’s versatile and I know that it can handle any workout that’s on my plan, whether that’s yoga, HIIT or anything in between.

How did you sleep last night?

If you answered with anything other than fantastic then it may be time to make a change to your sleep habits.

A few healthy sleep habits to help you catch better Zzz’s 😴…

* Be consistent. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends.
* Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature.
* Remove electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and smart phones, from the bedroom.
* Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime. If you do get hungry late or in the middle of the night opt for a meal replacement protein shake before bed.
* Get some exercise. Being physically active during the day can help you fall asleep more easily at night.
* Try not to use your bed for anything other than sleep and intimate activities.
* Having a hot bath 1-2 hours before bedtime can be useful, as it will raise your body temperature, causing you to feel sleepy as your body temperature drops again. Research shows that sleepiness is associated with a drop in body temperature.
* Exercise. Regular exercise is a good idea to help with good sleep, but try not to do strenuous exercise in the 4 hours before bedtime. Morning walks are a great way to start the day feeling refreshed!
* Magnesium supplements may improve sleep quality, sleep duration and benefit people with sleep disorders like insomnia and restless legs syndrome.
* Limit napping during the day and go to bed only when you’re tired.

** My Secret 🤫 to a great nights sleep is 3 capsules of Night-T 45 minutes before bed**

Night-T let’s me get more sleep and deeper sleep.

Without it I’m up every 1-2 hours 😴 which weighs heavy on my energy the next day.

⭐️ Bonus: No groggy/ hangover the next morning like other prescription and OTC sleep aids!
