2022: New Year, New Me?
January 1st, 2022 I love new beginnings. A fresh season usually begins with a moment where, whether we choose it or not, something that wasn’t meant to carry on ends and something new takes its place: moving to a new city, starting a new relationship, welcoming a little life into the world, launching your first business, etc. They’re occurrences that are noteworthy enough to effect the trajectory of our lives. And while those events happen sporadically to each of us from time to time, I think there’s something inspiring and rather enticing about being given the opportunity, along with all humanity, to accept the invitation to make this the new year, new me.

6 Habits of Environmentally Conscious People That You're Probably Already DoingCreated with: Cleancult
I don’t know about you, but when I hear ‘go green’ or ‘eco-friendly’ I think of a globally-sized issue and feel somewhat helpless in the fight to make a change. I think, “I’m only one person, will what I do really make a difference?” and what I’m quickly finding is yes, it actually will! Doing my part can in fact make a difference. So what does eco-friendly really mean? Simply put, eco friendly literally means friendly to the earth or simply not harmful to the environment. This refers to products and practices that help in conserving resources like water and energy as well as preventing air, water and land pollution. Ready to get in there and do your part? Here are 6 habits of environmentally conscious people that you’re probably already doing!

The Bone Broth Trend, Explained: Why I’ve Made Bone Broth a Pantry StapleCreated with: Kettle & Fire
Broths and soups have been part of almost every culture’s culinary tradition throughout the ages; from Vietnamese Pho to Italian Brodo to American chicken noodle soup, a flavorful, meaty broth is at the base of many of the worlds’ most comforting dishes. But in the last few years, there’s one type of broth in particular that has hit the food scene (and the fitness scene!) with a vengeance: Bone broth! Bone broth, which has been described by some nutritionists as 'liquid gold,’ has quickly changed the game, and for good reason.

How to Build a Sleep Sanctuary on a Budget Supported By: Lull
Just this year, I transitioned from working my 9-5 office job to working for myself — woo! With this change came a serious realization: I need to update my bedroom. As the majority of my work is done via laptop in my personal space, I knew the investment and time would be worth it to make a space where I could be productive during the day and cozy at night. I have always been a budget-friendly shopper, typically purchasing only the pieces that are necessary. As a result, I was prohibiting my space from feeling cozy — simply due to dollars! Well, within a matter of weeks I realized that in order to be creative, inspired, comfortable, and productive, I have to love my space. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that I can love my space while still on a budget. Are you skeptical? Find out how I created the bedroom of my dreams!

How many times have you scrolled through your feed and glanced through comments of followers begging influencers or public figures for the answers to these questions: How did you get your body?

Every day I have conversations with individuals and read over hundreds of comments from people looking for ways to get healthy, feel strong, look great and be happy, and the answer is far more simple than anyone may realize.

Beginner's Travel Guide
One of the questions I get asked the most these days is "How do you travel so much?" Social media, in particular, paints a sometimes distorted picture of the reality of travel. It highlights all of the breathtaking views, bright smiles with foreigners and crystal clear ocean lagoons but rarely succeeds in opening up about the "how" to the "what."

"I've Been So Busy"
"Hey! Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in so long! How have you been?" "Ah, I've been good. I've been SO busy." Raise of hands, how many of us have had this conversation at least five times this week? Me. I know I have and continue to, week after week after week.

Guardrails
We all have guardrails we depend on in life. Guardrails are meant to keep us on track, they're there to show us the edge of where we weren't meant to go and help bounce us back along our journey when we begin to veer off course. But when we ride the rail, we're left with scratches, scrapes and incredible damage that was never meant to happen if used in the way it was intended. When we abuse something that was meant to help to the point it begins to hurt, it's time for a wake up call. It's time to get back on track.

Exes, Oh's, and Everything In-Between
There are three kinds of guys every girl has fallen for in her lifetime. If you're anything like me and jumped into the dating world way too young than what was good for you (despite your parents' best efforts), you've likely encountered, fallen for, got your heart broken by, held onto for way too long, or eventually married one of these guys. You’ve got the exes, you’ve realized the oh’s, and you’re basically a pro on identifying and explaining the in-between. So humor and reminisce with me, laugh, tell me I'm crazy, or just totally agree with me because I know they've each walked up to your front door at one point or another.

Yoga: An Overview
Yoga: An Overview Yoga is where I find my truest self. My time on my mat is when I am finally able to breathe, release anxiety, focus, move and truly be who I am, unapologetically. Until I began my yoga practice, I dealt with serious anxiety and fear; I felt like the weight of the world was sitting on my shoulders and there was nothing I could do to make it move. It was only until I found yoga that I began to see a true change in my anxiety and overall happiness in life.
