Last week I shared some of my favorite health finds on Amazon. You can check out that post here: Amazon Health Finds. Today I thought I would share some of my favorites for a relaxing or cozy night in! As always, I would love to know some of your favorites!

1.Skin Care

I have been focusing more on my skin care now that I am in my thirties and that we are home a lot more. Two of my current favorite brands are Mad Hippie and Drunk Elephant! Here are two of my favorite products!

Amazon: Vitamin C                 Amazon: Moisturizer

2.Blow Dryer

I absolutely love this blow dryer for getting a blow out look at home. I like how easy and convenient it is and will never go back!

Amazon: Blow Dryer

3.Books

I have been reading a lot more during this time, which I love! Two of my favorite authors have been Ruth Ware and Shari Lapena. I absolutely love a good murder mystery! Here are two of my favorites!

Amazon: The Turn Of The Key                 Amazon: The Couple Next Door

4.Puzzles 

If you know me and my husband, you know we love working on puzzles together! Two of our favorite brands are Buffalo and Ravensburger. Here is an example of each!

Amazon: Buffalo                                          Amazon: Ravensburger

5.Sheets

I love having cozy sheets for a reasonable price. These sheets feel like butter and are so soft! For some reason the queen feels softer than the king to us.

Amazon: Sheets

Stay tuned for hubby, toddler, and clothing finds!

I was thinking about my fitness routine the other day and how it has been such a huge part of my life since college. I have definitely grown in my mindset around exercise through the different seasons and stages of adulthood and life, and continue to learn. I feel like I am always evolving and changing, which is a good thing! Today I wanted to share how I have been able to stay so consistent for 10+ years with exercise. I recently wrote a post about consistency and how that it is truly the secret sauce to most things. You can check it out here: The Secret Sauce.

How do you stay motivated or consistent with your exercise routine? I would love to know!

1.Find Something You Enjoy

Working out does not have to be something you absolutely dread. There are SO many ways to move and use your body that can also be enjoyable. Try different things and see what you like or respond best to. Try yoga, take a dance class, cycle, go on a walk and call a friend, swim, hike, take studio classes. There isn’t a “right” way to workout or a one size fits all!

2.Follow A Program Or Schedule 

Having structure helps so much with keeping yourself accountable and staying consistent. This can look different for everyone. It could be an actual program followed, days you attend classes or go to a studio, or a routine you have written out for yourself. When there is no “plan” it is so easy to push it aside and not do anything at all. Plan and create success for yourself!

3.Same Time Of Day

Implementing a “time of day” for exercise will create habits that will lead to your daily routine. It will become part of your “norm” and just a regular part of your day. Find a time that works best for you. Not everyone is a morning person or wants to exercise first thing. Do what works for your life and daily schedule!

4.Create Personal Goals

Creating goals for yourself will continuously add motivation and something to work towards. Losing weight or looking a certain way does not have to always be a goal. It could be something like moving your body four times in a week or trying something new. Think of what you genuinely want/desire and go from there. Also make sure to be realistic with your goals! You can check out more with setting goals here: Goal Setting Tips.

5.Accountability 

Create a system where you can have some type of accountability. Once again this looks different for everyone. For me personally I write down the days and workouts I am doing for the week on my desk calendar. It is something I see every day and feels like a “meeting” or “appointment” I scheduled for myself that day. For others it can be classes with friends, workout buddy, or spouse. Think of a way you can stay accountable for your goals!

Hope you are finding ways to move your body!

Blessings,

Jac

I was recently placing an Amazon order (shocker) and started thinking about everything I have been ordering online with the current situation. I try to stay home as much as possible, so I have definitely been taking advantage of Amazon for basically anything and everything. I thought it would be fun share some of my favorite health items that we purchase online!

I would love to know your favorite things to order off Amazon or any recommendations!

       

Amazon: Collagen        Amazon: Greens                    Amazon: IV

3. Juicer

I recently started juicing a few months ago to try and get additional nutrients/foods I don’t typically consume on a regular basis. I also like to juice when produce is beginning to go bad so we aren’t being wasteful. This is the one I have and it works great! I wanted something smaller and cheaper since it isn’t something I do everyday.

Amazon: Juicer

4.Four Sigmatic 

This is great if you enjoy different drinks aside from water, and want additional health benefits. There are many different kinds to try that are all different mushroom blends and are just a nice change!

Amazon: Four Sigmatic

5.Lenny & Larry

These are my husband’s favorite treat and he basically has one every night. They are now plant based which is great, and also have different versions (keto, crunchy). He loves buying them in bulk as well!

Amazon: Lenny & Larry

Stay tuned for lifestyle, toddler, and hubby favorites!

Blessings,

Jac
