How To Eat Healthy: While Traveling

July 19, 2018 No Comments

When I am traveling, I find it so difficult to stay on track with my healthy eating and to take care of my body. It is easy to fall out off the wagon completely and eat junk food while you are traveling. While this is okay in moderation, it is essential to fuel your body with nutritious foods. I often find myself having to detox or get back on track when I get home if I don’t prepare for traveling. What I have found is a healthy balance with treating yourself and staying on track while traveling. I wanted to share my tips and tricks while traveling because not to toot my own horn but I have some pretty good ones!

My biggest tip when it comes to eating healthy while heading out of town is to prepare foods before traveling!

I hate to go in blind with no healthy snacks or meals available as it makes me so anxious! When I am flying, I will try to eat a filling meal before heading to the airport and then I will bring a healthy snack along with me. Some of my favorite healthy items to bring are an apple with an almond butter packet, berries, a salad, raw almonds, or chopped veggies with hummus. I focus on foods that I know will satisfy my cravings when I am surrounded by the tempting junk food which is everywhere in airports and while on the planes. So, I like to keep it simple and let me tell you it feels so good when you whip out your apples, and almond butter and everyone around you is super jealous! I always give myself a little pat on the back for being so prepared LOL.

Beauty tips everyone needs to know for traveling

July 11, 2018 No Comments

Traveling whether it be a short flight or a long flight can be fun but also kind of a pain. When it comes to flying, I have learned some of the beauty do’s and don’ts. So I have a strict guideline which I follow to ensure that my beauty regimen stays on track while in the air. When it comes to my skin, I have become adamant about keeping it very consistent and always being attentive to what it needs. I almost think about my skin having a little bell that it rings when it needs something, and I am the servant that comes running with serums, oils, and pimple cream LOL. In simple terms, however, I follow what I call the No makeup-Extra Hydration-Stay clean protocol.

Health Grocery List

June 23, 2018 No Comments

To me, opening your fridge and seeing it stocked with healthy food is one of the best feelings. For it to be fully stocked, you have to do the obvious…grocery shop. When I go grocery shopping, I start by getting my fresh foods such as fruits, vegetables. After I grab my packages foods, which I try to keep to a minimum. Lastly, I add my cold products to the cart. I have a set grocery list of food I always purchase and the rest such as my meat(s) or certain fruits/veggies for the week changes.

When I first began eating healthier, I found the grocery store daunting and didn’t know what to purchase. So to help, here is my master grocery list for some insights! It is a combination of foods I buy regularly and others once in a while. Overall it is a list that can help guide you in finding healthier items in the grocery store.
