Is Sugar The New FAT?
Unfortunately, sugar is definitely the new fat. Remember how a few years ago we all thought fat was bad and we should be eating low fat everything? Before my husband and I got married we decided to try that RIDICULOUS HCG diet where you can only eat 500 calories a day. What the actual F was I thinking?! Well, I can tell you this, I was a young woman who didn't have any self confidence or self love and I was looking for a quick fix to feel beautiful. Guess what? It didn't work

DIY Mineralizing Toothpaste
Once you start researching what is in your beauty care products, you may start to think twice about buying versus making your own products. There are a few companies out there making great, safe products and the EWG has a wonderful guide, Skin Deep,I highly suggest.

A mentor of mine; Alida McDaniel, always says books do NOT change your life, only you have the power to change. You have to take action on what you've learned, or nothing will happen.

The First Step to Forgiveness
To err is human; to forgive, divine. Alexander Pope Forgiveness is tricky. Usually we associate forgiving with acceptance but this doesn't have to be the case; forgiveness is letting go of the pain associated with the situation, and deciding it no longer rules your life.

Reframe Negative Thoughts
Good morning loves! Yesterday I walked through my fear of public speaking. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to discuss superfoods to people I do not know because teaching is a value of mine that I chose to live from.
