Fitness Tuesday: Recent Food Finds

Hello, all. Spent most of the weekend sick with a sinus infection, which I'm still trying to get rid of. Plus, there are some other commitments that I've had (meaning I still have been avoiding doing them). Not going to lie, so have not finished those yet but I am trying to find a good balance between work, blogging, and some of the other activities/adventures that I want to do this summer.

Anywho, today I want talk about food. For some reason, I'm all about being the first one to try something as soon as it hits the store. Here are some of the food items that I have tried/ been eating as of late recently:

goodness Knows

Bare Naked Granola

Love Grown oatmeal & granola

English Tea Shop

Know that this was short & sweet but, I've decided to go to bed at a reasonable time (meaning before midnight). Have a great Tuesday.

Peace & Blessings, all!!!

Thoughtful Thursday

Hi all!!! This week has been a little crazy so to speak. My birthday was on Monday. Since then, I have been sick so I had post that I've written but haven't scheduled yet of course. Is anyone who reads that really surprised by that. Life gets busy & sneaks up on you (kind of like a cold). Anywho, here are some quotes for this Thursday:

There will me a 90% chance that there will be a new post tomorrow since I've clearly been slacking at life as of late. Everyone have a wonderful Thursday.

Peace & Blessings, all!!!

Fitness Tuesday

Via

Hello all!!! Sorry, for the week-long break. Outside of school ending for the semester, going back to work at my side job & dealing with some things that have to with the big news that I hope to be able to reveal soon it was a busy last week.

I am trying to get back in the swing of things on the fitness front. One thing that I'm trying to get back into is stretching. In the last week or so, there was a day or two where there was a dip in the temperature (it went from in the 80s to being in the high 40s). All of this weather craziness has made the left side of my body (the side that I landed on in my car accident last October) start a tighten again.

I've started to stretch again every morning & evening (along with doing yoga) to help with it. I also received suggestion from some of the PT's & PTA's that I work with on what to do. FYI: lying on a foam roller does wonders for you back. Here are some stretches from Real Simple & the Mayo Clinic that I've been doing:

The Runner's Stretch

Knee-to-chest stretch

Seated Back Twist

Cat stretch

Standing side stretch

Bridge stretch

Since I've been doing the yoga & stretching, my back has not been hurting as much. It has helped with my sleep as well. Here's to a great Tuesday. Peace & blessings, all!!!

Thoughtful Thursday

Hi all!! So.... the big news is still under wraps for now (just waiting on one or two more things to workout) but school is done for the semester. YAY!!! This semester kicked my butt fo' real. It made me rethink how I approach & deal with deadlines/my work load. Anywho, here are some thoughts today from one of my favorite places Calm:

Have a fantastic Thursday. Peace & blessings all!!!!

Spring Skincare favs

Happy Hump Day!!! I didn't mean to take another break last week but I was in the process of making a big life decision/change which I will share later this week (sometime soon we will know for sure the outcome of the deal). In the last few months, I've tried some products that have become staples. One sad thing is that my Clarisonic Opal (which they have stopped making) died. I've had it for a few years & it was great for putting eye creams & serums on in the morning & evening. I guess I will buy a new charger first to see if it helps.
I was going to take actual pictures of all of them but I've been running around like crazy. Anywho, these are a few of the products that I've been using of late:
