Hemp History Week
HEMP!!! What is hemp? I believe Hemp is the most versatile and valuable crop that exists. It can be extracted into a powerful concentrated oil that is healing people all across the nation, it can be used to make paper, clothing, building materials, biofuels and anything that is made out of plastic AKA if our nation didn't restrict hemp a majority of our products would be in hemp packaging today instead of horrible plastic.
Spring Cleaning
I don’t know about you but by the end of each winter I feel like my eating habits have gone to total shit. As a general rule of thumb I try to follow the 80/20 rule with my diet. 80% of the time I eat extremely clean and the other 20% of the time I eat whatever my little heart desires. I will never claim myself to be one of the healthiest eaters out there. I wish I could but I REALLY REALLY LOVE FOOD. I love the things that aren’t necessarily that good for me like cheese and fried foods. I am a pretty small girl so people so who don’t know me mock me when I tell them I love to eat.
Managing Your Anxiety
The battle against anxiety is real. If your reading this I am assuming you have probably experienced anxiety at some point in your life. Maybe you are fortunate enough that you have never had to experience a full on anxiety attack, but in today’s fast paced day world even those of us who aren't genetically predisposed to an anxiety disorder find ourselves stressed to the max trying to balance it all.
ALL of the Drinks
Hydration is the best. Learn more about the fermented beverages at your farmer's market and grocery store shelves including Kombucha, Drinking Vinegars and Kvass. In case you haven't noticed I take my hydration very seriously. Like everyone is kind of creeped out by my massive yeti water bottle I carry around with me EVERYWHERE. I am obsessed with water and am especially thirsty out here in Colorado. It's so dry I legit feel like Spongebob visiting Sandy without his space helmet of water.
Three Rest Day "Workouts" To Enhance Recovery
Anna and I LOVE staying active. I played organized sports growing up and as an adult I quickly transitioned into a workout enthusiast, getting involved with everything from teaching yoga to training for a triathlon and various fitness classes such as soul cycle, kickboxing, and barre. You name the fitness craze I have likely tried it. Working out for me has been always been a tool to develop mental discipline. It is physical activity that forces me to push my physical limits, so I can push my mental ones as well.
Why I don't get too cozy with Scented Candles
As the seasons change and the sun starts to set earlier our natural instinct to light some pumpkin spice scented candles and warm the home with the glow and smells of fall. I love the glow of candles and the ambience they set, but I refuse to turn a blind eye to the scented candles and all of the chemicals they infuse into the home.
