Nutrition Tips for Thanksgiving...

Hi friends! Can you believe its already Thanksgiving? I’m excited for a day of relaxation, family, and checking out Black friday deals for y’all! Shopping online of course :)

I wanted to jump on here and share on how I tackle Thanksgiving from a Nutrition/Diet standpoint! I love thanksgiving and all of its food, but I don’t love how I feel if I overindulge. The last few years I’ve lived by these rules and I’m still able to enjoy thanksgiving, but I still feel good the next day!

6 tips for Thanksgiving

1. Don’t skip meals: My biggest tip is DON’T SKIP meals thinking that it will help you lower your caloric intake! I definitely suggest eating normal so that when it comes time for thanksgiving meal, you’re not starving and less apt to over eating! Think oatmeal, eggs, and lean proteins/veggies throughout the day.

2. Hydrate: Tons of water! Sometimes our hunger messages get mixed with thirst! Drink before you eat!

3. Focus on the proteins and veggies first: I always, always, always fill up on the protein and salad before I go after any sides, desserts, etc! My family always buys a bigger turkey because I eat so much of it haha!

4. Stay active: walk, etc: I know this year is a little bit different, but get outside! Walk, join a virtual 5K, get a quick HIIT workout in…get moving!

5. Watch the apps: I try and pick and choose- I might nix the apps and just have a glass of wine! That way while everyone else is eating, I’m just slowly sipping away! It can be easy to over eat when you are socializing!

6. Remember its just one day! Don’t beat yourself up if you overeat! It’s one day!~ What matters is what you do tomorrow, and the day after that!

Have an amazing Thanksgiving friends!

My Anti Aging Secret

Hello friends!

I’m so excited to be sharing an amazing product that has helped my skin SO much over the last few months! I don’t know about you, but now that I’m in my late 30’s looking after my skin has become one of my top priorities! Obviously things like staying out of the sun, eating right and drinking water, wearing SPF, and getting rest are all crucial to good skin, but there is a lot we can do to help slow the process of aging!

Over the last 6 weeks I’ve been using what is called the LumiSpa.

In a nutshell, Lumi Spa is a first-of-its-kind, dual-action skin care system that delivers dramatic skin renewal and deep-cleansing in a single treatment! Invented by Nu Skin and dermatologist tested, ageLOC LumiSpa is inspired by gene expression studies of skin protein production. The patent-pending, counter-rotating, pore-tightening action cleanses away dirt, oil, makeup and toxins. And with its medical-grade silicone surface, the Treatment Head moves at a precise frequency to promote dynamic, visible skin renewal for smoother looking, softer feeling skin after just one use.

I honestly can’t say enough about this product. I noticed a difference in my skin within one use, and after 4 uses my husband asked me what I was doing differently! It only takes 2 mins per day, removes all dirt and makeup, is waterproof, and rejuvinates your skin! You can also use it everyday- it is very gentle on your skin and the silicon head is designed to only slough/gently remove the dead dry skin cells and not disrupt the healthy skin cells underneath!

They offer a few different options for cleansers- I use the normal!

Here are a few Fast Facts about the Lumi-Spa:


• It is medical grade silicon so doesn’t cause micro tears in the skin like bristles brushes do! The jogging technique (micropulsing) helps stimulate cell renewal, increases blood flow, and promotes healthy skin cells.
​
• Dual oscillating so moves in different directions and it pushes dirt out of pores instead of spinning makeup deeper into skin or wiping it around.

•It is hypoallergenic- meaning it’s super clean and doesn’t harbor bacteria, and the deep cleansing motion which you can’t get with a standard cleanse will allow pores to shrink to their normal size.

• antimicrobial- has silver embedded in them - which means no living organism can live on it. This is what makes them so easy to clean as well👌🏼

This would make an incredible stocking stuffer or Christmas present! Trust me, you will love it!

You can purchase yours here!

Let me know if you guys have any questions about this!
