Why Daily Vitamins Are Important to Me and How I Keep Track

Why Daily Vitamins Are Important to Me and How I Keep Track

.“This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central.” A balanced, healthy diet is usually the best way to meet all of your dietary and nutritional needs. But, let’s face it, as a work at home mom; I’m not always great with following a balanced diet. Most days I count myself lucky if I can eat three meals a day and maybe have  a few healthy-ish snacks. However, most days usually start with coffee and I don’t eat breakfast until 10. Unless I have yoga in the morning at the gym. In which case I do try to eat before 8.

I even enjoyed working with weights or occasionally using a friend’s Bowflex. I wouldn’t call myself a fitness junkie though because my obsession with exercise was tied to deeper issues. It took me several years to overcome those issues and to…

6 Easy Lifestyle Hacks to Help with Weight Loss

6 Easy Lifestyle Hacks to Help with Weight Loss

Ever since my third child was born, I’ve had an on and off struggle with my weight. I say on and off because I’ve finally reached a point in my life where I’m comfortable with my body image. This was something that I had struggled with through my teens and through my twenties. My self esteem was a wreck and I had a pretty messed up view of how I was supposed to look.
