The holidays can be a stressful time if you are wanting to lose weight or keep the weight off. There’s a lot of stress that comes with being surrounded by family, lots of food, and constant potlucks and get togethers for a month and a half. In this blog, I share out some mindset shifts I’ve made around the holidays when it comes to being surrounded by all the yummy food.
Honestly, the living room is probably the hardest space for me to decorate because it needs to be very neutral with things in my opinion and everyone is going to see it. I hate clutter and want things to be practical and cute when it’s placed and give off homey cozy vibes when someone walks in the room!
How I manifest my dreams! I am still learning and revamping these things constantly but your mindset around what you can achieve has to come before the achievement – I firmly believe this to be true!
Nobody has hours or hundreds of dollars to spend on super cool Halloween costumes we wear once a year. Here’s a combination of simple and cute Halloween costumes for the procrastinators out there like me!
Give me my tripod, cute outfits, and a nice back drop and 30 minutes and I will have a brand new set of photos for Instagram for the week. I always batch my photos because it saves me a ton of time down the road during the week when I can just flip through my camera roll and type out my caption!
Fall produce is my absolute favorite so I could seriously go to the grocery store multiple times a week! I am so excited to share with ya some of the things that are always on my list for the fall!
I was recording my Embrace the Sweat Podcast last week and I said this phrase off script and it really just hit me. “Don’t wait for retirement.” We are conditioned our whole life that we work hard and when you retire you get to use the money you worked for to do all your traveling and fun things
Online shopping is my cryptonite. And teaching clothes are just the absolute best. I love them so much and these are my go-to stores where I find most of my clothes!
Honestly it’s never easy but I would say 75-80% of the time I look forward to going to the gym and eating healthy. I think everyones different and some people are naturally inclined to it vs others, but these are some of things that help me stay motivated throughout the year!
I always think that parent teacher conferences come so early in the school but here we are! I am so lucky that I have really supportive parents for my students. I teach upper elementary (fourth grade) and I am so passionate about my students having autonomy in the classroom. And I think a big part of that is letting them in on the conference. I mean, it is about them let’s be real. This is how I am leading my conferences this year with more student input.
