Fitness gear that’s worth the hype (and what’s overrated)

Fitness gear that’s worth the hype (and what’s overrated) Sharing my thoughts on what fitness gear is worth the hype, and worth the investment, and what I think is overrated and should be skipped. Helloooooo! How are ya? I hope you’re enjoying the week. We’re back from an amazing trip to Orlando – I’ll share a recap in Friday Faves – and getting ready for the Pilot’s Air Force retirement. He retires next week and I can’t even believe it. Since we’re officially almost through January with a solid start to the new year, I know many of us are prepping home gyms, scoping out fitness gear, wellness goodies, and nutrition options. I thought I’d do an updated roundup of some of my top picks. There are a LOT of things to choose from and it can get overwhelming! Also, I’ve found that some hyped-up options have been disappointing in real life. I’m sharing my picks in the list below, and also sharing your submissions from Instagram. (Ones with a * are from Instagram responses. ) Fitness g...

Homemade dog treats (quick and healthy!) Sharing a quick and easy homemade recipe for dog treats that your pup will love!

We’re back in the school grind this week and I started beta testing for nutrition coaching. I’ll be releasing more details about this next week, so stay tuned! For today, let’s talk about dog treats. I know – kinda random for a fitness blog – but my top posts ever are about guinea pigs , baby food , and potty training , so here we are haha. Also, Maisey loves these so much and insisted that I share the word for those of you with furry friends out there. Homemade dog treats (quick and healthy!) I made these dog treats on a whim, using some ingredients we always have on hand. Maisey loves bits of healthy human food, and let’s just say, she’s INTO IT. She loves plain chicken, egg, bell peppers, natural peanut butter, and watermelon. S...

Lice Myths Busted: How They Really Spread

Lice Myths Busted: How They Really Spread When you hear the word “lice,” it probably makes your scalp itch instantly. Most of us grew up thinking lice jump from one head to another like tiny ninjas or that they’re a sign of poor hygiene. Spoiler alert: That’s not how it works! Let’s set the record straight on how lice spread, what’s fact, and what’s just plain fiction. Lice Don’t Jump, Fly, or Swim Contrary to popular belief, lice don’t have superpowers. These tiny parasites can’t jump or fly—they crawl. This means they need direct contact to move from one person to another. So, if you’re imagining lice leaping from one head to the next, think again! How Lice Actually Spread Lice love hair—specifically the warmth of your scalp and the blood supply underneath. Here’s how they really get around: Head-to-Head Contact: The most common way lice spread is through direct head-to-head contact. Think of kids playing closely, hugging, or snapping a group selfie.

Drinking an adrenal cocktail can help with stress response and so much more, and I’m breaking it down in today’s post! Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful week. For today’s post, I’m super pumped to dive into today’s topic: the adrenal cocktail. It’s been lighting up my social media feed lately, so let’s spill the beans on this intriguing concoction and the benefits of an adrenal cocktail!

Well, it all boils down to our energy levels, chronic stress, and something called adrenal fatigue. You see, our adrenal glands play a key role in managing stress and maintaining our overall well-being. But sometimes, these little gland warriors can get a bit tired out, le...

Rent the Runway vs Nuuly – which is better?

Rent the Runway vs Nuuly – which is better? Sharing my thoughts on two of the most popular clothing rental services, Rent the Runway Unlimited and Nuuly. <— I’ve added both of my referral links here if you decide to check them out! Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing week so far. It’s been a good one over here. I had choir (one of the highlights of the week), taught two barre classes, and met up with friends at True Food for dinner. The Pilot and I also took some time to plan out the rest of the year, assess the budget, and make plans. I LOVE to go through our subscription payments each year and *trim the fat.* So often, we’ll notice that we’re paying for things and don’t use or need, and it’s an easy way to get some $$ back. (Especially when groceries are a billion dollars.) While we were looking through everything, he saw that we’ve been paying for both Rent the Runway and Nuuly , and told me he thought I should keep them, because it’s cut way back on my ...
