5 Tips to Stay Healthy While Maintaining a Busy Lifestyle

School is starting, your days are long and there are only 24 hours in the day. Sometimes it seems that even if I had more hours in the day, I still wouldn’t be able to get everything done. My life is crazy. I run around all day long, meet with clients, blog til my fingers hurt and try to have a normal life at home but sometimes it’s hard. What’s even more hard is trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle while staying so busy. I try my best to change little things in my life for the better. Everybody’s life and schedule is different but these 5 easy tips to staying healthy can work with everybody’s schedule, no matter how hectic your life might be.

  1. Plan ahead. This isn’t my strong suit but I do know that planning ahead can change your life. Plan your meals every week, map out your day, and set your plans in stone. A few things that I always try to plan is my weekly dinners, and I keep multiple calendars around the house so I always know what is going on and when I need to be somewhere. It’s not easy but just start planning now!
  2. Take time to workout. This doesn’t mean that you have to get a gym membership or hire a personal trainer but even a long walk in your neighborhood does wonders for your mind and body. I take my dogs on a walk at least 3 times a week. It’s great to get out, breathe in some fresh air and discover your surroundings. (Not to mention it wears my dogs out too). I’ve recently tried the barre classes and I’m in love.
  3. Change your eating habits. You don’t have to go on a full fledged diet, but making small changes will help greatly. For example, If you’re eating fast food, skip the fries and just eat the main course. Instead of grabbing your third coke for the day, opt for water. I promise you won’t miss the extra caffeine or those fries. Another great alternative if you HAVE to eat fast food is ordering a kids meal instead of a regular combo meal, it’s half the price and much smaller portions.
  4. Get plenty of sleep. If you’re anything like me, I will stay up all night working and end up getting a few hours of sleep. The next day is horrible and I’m not my best self because of the lack of sleep. One of my little secrets to help fall asleep is to put away all electronics. When my phone or iPad is within reaching distance, I will grab it and start playing games or checking my email. Not only does that not allow my brain to rest, it usually causes stress because of anxiety thinking about all the work that I have piling up.
  5. Drink Water. I love water, but I would prefer a nice ice cold Dr. Pepper any day. To be completely honest, I usually chose a Dr. Pepper over water, it’s a horrible habit that I must break. If water just isn’t your thing, try adding fresh fruit to your drink or opt for Mio to add some flavor until you get used to drinking water on a regular basis. Not only does your body need water, it will make you feel food which will help you eat less junk throughout the day. Try buying a tumbler that you can take to work with you everyday and keep it full so you always have water handy.

These tips are so simple but can seriously change your life. Not one of these items will cost you any money and they are are all small changes you can make gradually but will make you become a better person in the long run.

One lovely problem that I have ran into while staying busy all the time is seasonal allergies that come and go throughout the year. I discovered Zarbee’s this year that has helped tremendously with defense against pollen. Zarbee’s Seasonal Relief contains Ze339, a unique and natural extract of the Butterbur plant previously only available in Europe. This natural, PA-safe formula is clinically proven to work fast against pollen and congestion so you can breathe better in every season. I love that Zarbee’s is 100% drug, gluten and dairy-free and won’t cause me to get drowsy throughout the day. The last thing I need is to start feeling sleepy, while trying to get through my day.

ZarBee’s Seasonal Relief is the 1st ever natural and clinically proven product that helps with seasonal pollen & congestion relief. Click here to learn how to get your free sample of the new Seasonal Remedies.

How do you battle seasonal pollen and congestion, naturally?

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
