Ever notice how easy it is to measure life based on Quantity? While I know I've had a lot more time to be still or quiet - things are bubbling up to the surface for me. A lot has to do with the amount I actually get done in a day.

This is a tricky one! I mean, why would we ever be scared to succeed? Why would we be afraid of the very thing we want? Or what we're working so hard to achieve?

Is Autumn your favorite season? Some of you might look forward to the cooler temperatures, warm brightly lit colors, soups, chili, chestnuts and pumpkin everything! The one thing I've noticed is for some, training takes a bit of a back seat.

We are experts on human behavior, limiting beliefs, old stories you tell yourself, body science, confidence, motivation, and overall lifestyle and health. I am a “change agent” who helps clients set and achieve health goals and build new habits that ultimately serve them, as opposed to self-sabotaging daily.

I’ve been guilty of it, working for my ‘beach body’ and changing my diet to experience the same. There was a time when I would completely starve myself to get to a certain size, but not anymore.

I’m going to be honest, prior to Beautycounter I hardly ever wore lipstick and/or lip gloss. I honestly couldn’t find anything that didn’t taste like chemicals on my lips, and/or a lipstick that didn’t leave my lips even more dry than they were. Not only that, but I had NO idea just how much I was missing prior to trying my favorite Beyond Gloss and Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick.

Every single one of our beauty products should be like that. We shouldn’t have to scan them to make sure they don’t have ingredients directly linked to cancers, endocrine disruption and hormones. We shouldn’t have to worry about heavy metals in our makeup or if a company is using child labor for the sparkly stuff in our eye shadow.

Whether it’s using body weight or dumbbells, strength training could make all the difference for women. There are many elements to strength training, also called resistance training or sometimes weight-lifting, but it essentially comes down to using your body weight against you or adding some basic weights to your workout routine.

I’m going to be honest, prior to Beautycounter launching their new vitamin C Serum, I hadn’t really ever tried one. I had NO idea just how magical it could be! Then, I started wondering why I waited so long! I’ve recently added the All Bright Serum to my routine, and it’s been a game changer to say the least! Today, on the blog, I’m sharing why I love it and some before and after photos.

Why You Might Need an Armpit Detox Help your body adjust to the change by using the Charcoal Cleansing Bar to wash your armpits daily. I still do this to help pull impurities out, plus I use this on the face, especially in the summer when I’m sweating and using a lot more sunscreen. You do this, so the charcoal can pull the impurities out before the sweat does!

This one-pan chicken dinner requires only eight ingredients, making it perfect for busy weeknights. Meaty chicken breasts (or you could also use chicken thighs) roast on top of scallions and sweet potatoes until the chicken is golden and juicy and the scallions are tender and oh so sweet.

I needed a quick weeknight recipe to throw together and this Spicy Basil Chicken did the trick! It was super quick and simple to make, it tasted scrumptious too. I served this dish with jasmine rice for a healthy and delicious meal. I added spaghetti squash for the bottom of mine. Super yum. The best part of the dish was the fresh basil I added. My kids and husband loved and approved!

Once I started to put the physical pieces together—the outward bloating with the inward distress—I decided to see a functional medicine doctor for candida, because at the time, I hadn’t heard of SIBO. The diagnosis I received was, in fact, SIBO: small intestine bacterial overgrowth.

We had two other versions of the mascara, prior to the Think Big Mascara launching and to be honest, I never spoke about our old version, especially here on the blog, because frankly I didn’t love it, and it just missed the mark for me. The mascara, I absolutely LOVE!

My skin is super sensitive and after my workouts each day, I need a cleanser that is not going to make my skin breakout and/or inflamed. I am happy to report, I have found my favorite, and I’m sharing it with you here today!

As I walk through the clothing sections of stores over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed swimsuits and skin-bearing clothing hitting the shelves. This sight gave me a reminder that swimsuit, shorts, and tank top season is almost here! I know for myself, and many people, I start to take a second look at my daily diet and exercise routine to make sure I am hitting my personal goals so that I will feel confident and happy in my warm weather outfits.

What kind of chicken soup you prefer, I have a recipe that will surely hit the spot. This healthy recipe combines juicy chicken with veggies, like fennel, zucchini and green beans, and other tasty ingredients for a soothing bowl of delicious soup.
