Practical Ways to Improve Your Home, Life, & Budget
*This post was sponsored by Let’s Be Well. All opinions are my own. Austin and I have taken many small steps over the past few years to improve our health. We’ve gradually started exercising more, cut out most added sugar, we watch our serving sizes, etc. It’s been a slow process, but I can now […]
There’s really nothing better than a personal recommendation for a new product. A company can say how great their products are all they want, but I want to know someone who has actually used it and loves it. I’ve especially felt this way as we’ve transitioned to using more natural, organic, and ethically made products […]
One of the most shocking things I’ve learned since we started eating low sugar is that even if you don’t eat any dessert, you’re still consuming tons of sugar every single day! You can think you’re eating healthy foods and still be consuming more sugar than recommended because sugar gets added to almost every food […]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lennox. All opinions are 100% mine. Once it gets cool in the Fall, we end up closing up our house for 5+ months. It’s too cold to open windows and air rooms out. Austin and I suffer from allergies and asthma between the two […]
I’ve got to tell you, I’ve been crazy-stressed lately. We’ve got a lot going on and a lot of big life changes coming up. I’m a planner and a worrier. So when I don’t know what’s going to happen and I can’t make plans, I worry. We all go through really stressful chunks of time […]
Meal planning is not only huge way to save money (one of the women who uses my meal planning guide told me that she is saving around $1,000 per month from meal planning!!), it’s also a great way to get yourself to eat healthier. Meal planning doesn’t automatically make you eat healthy though. I have […]
I thought it might be helpful to talk about the simple things I’ve done to lose weight, because you know I love to keep things simple! I’ve got to say, I feel super self-conscious writing about this! I think it’s because I want to make sure we focus on being healthier and not just the […]
I firmly believe that you can stick to a grocery budget and eat healthy. It does not have to be a one or the other situation! Now let me be clear — to stick to certain kinds of diets, you will most likely spend more than the average person. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t […]
“Healthy” is not a destination. It’s a lifelong journey; a combination of daily choices and habits. “Being healthier” pretty much always makes it onto my list of goals in some way, shape, or form. And I’m glad to say that I’m healthier today that I was last year or five years ago! It wasn’t an […]
I get some form of this question more often than any other: How do I eat healthy while keeping my food budget low? And I love getting this question! Austin and I have both lost weight this year while keeping our grocery budget around $70 per week (that’s just for food, no household items or […]
