Quick Pick Me Ups

Life can get you in a slump, me out of everyone should know that feels. Life is something to be enjoyed, and sometimes you need to be reminded of that! I feel like especially this time of the year, the 'slump' is what I like to call it. So anyways, back to the story my quick pick me ups. 

-Facials: This does not have to be like at the salon or anything extensive. I love DIYs and just some drugstore facial scrubs. Nothing feels better than a beautiful face with no makeup. I love doing this for when I'm feeling a bit blue. 

-Working Out: I have a love/hate with working out. I love the feeling, but I actually hate the actual working out part. A quick pop pilates video gets in a much better mood. 

-Scented Candles: You're going to laugh, but a clean room and a scented candle is idealistic for me. I love the peace and serenity when it comes to a clutter free zone and just time to relax and kick back. 

-Journaling: Getting your thoughts out no matter how negative is beautiful. Let it all go if you do not want to speak. Life is about getting your voice out there, and journaling is a lovely way to start that journey for yourself. 

-Cooking: I love food, and when I make a really great dish, its amazing. I love the methodic approach, and not trying to impress anyone except myself. 

AT THE END OF THE DAY: Your life is yours, no one is going to make decisions for you and make you feel a certain way. You are in charge of everything in your life and taking the time out to love yourself and your life is beautiful in itself.

Favorite Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Lately, I've been about the whole breakfast scene. It's the best meal of the day for a reason! I love granola, bit of an obsession actually. My go to breakfast is has these layers (so fancy)

- Greek yogurt, my personal fav is Chobani yogurt in cherry 
- Granola
- flaked almonds 
- chia seeds
- ANY type of fruit, I love sweet things, banana and strawberries are a lethal combination. 
- Coffee as well, I mean the stuff is amazing! Almond milk with stevia is my go to! 

Happy Eating!
