Coping with COVID
The world is a strange place right now – so how are you doing? No, really, how are you coping? Is your family well? Are you staying in high spirits? Eating healthy and plentiful? Exercising and/or meditating? Taking care of your body, mind, and soul? This is so important now more than ever, as we navigate through this unusual time in our world’s history. For some, it may be easy to retreat into quarantine and focus on wellness and family togetherness. For others, it may be ex
Just...Life
Ever wonder how you manage to do everything you need to get done on a daily basis? During the week? Even during the month when they just seem to keep flying by, and of course, you can't find the remote, so there's no chance of hitting that pause button? And before you know it, the day is over and you've missed the sunset? Me. Too. I was sooooo incredibly busy all throughout college, participating in clubs and activities left and right, on top of all my studying and having the
Work It Out Wednesday: Motivation
Evening y’all! How many out there struggle to find the motivation to work out? I know I sure do. You’d think it would be so easy to say “yes, I’m going to treat my body right and get 30 minutes of exercise at least three times a week.” But one thing comes up, and then another, and by the time we actually have an open slot available in our day, we are way too tired to even get into it.

Don't Let the Cravings Kill You
I’ve consumed so many sweets this past week. I’m sure I’ve gone way past my caloric intake every day and may have even suffered from a few minor sugar comas.

As Halloween came and went last night, this is bound to be a normal turn of events in most households with the tons of candy readily available. Those with a sweet tooth, beware! And with the holidays just around the corner, the rich meats, s
Wine Filled Weekend
On to the topic of wine – yes! Just this past weekend, Wine Fest returned to our little grape-filled town, also known as the Wine Country Harvest Festival, which is held near the end of September every year. This three day festival brings in an average of 20,000 visitors between three parks, so it is a great boost for our community. The air is filled with the scent of grapes and all of our small shops are receiving a huge increase in tourist sales. Plus, there are opportuniti
Happy Wife, Happy Life
My husband likes to say “happy wife, happy life.” Of course this statement rings true in most cases (men take note here), but living a healthy lifestyle is also an extremely important key to living a happy and fulfilled life. I generally strive to retain a positive and upbeat attitude in any given situation, because honestly, why would you want to go through life any other way? My goal in life is to choose my happiness. Be joyful in every day. Health and happiness go hand in
