10 Tips for Cutting Down the Cocktail Calories Alcoholic drinks can be a sneaky source of calories, sugar, and even salt—but not when you play bartender. Here are 10 tips for cutting down the calories while still enjoying your favorite cocktail: 1. Use only fresh-squeezed or 100 percent fruit juice to reduce added sugars. Fruit juice can still be high in sugar, though, so sometimes it’s best to dilute it with water or ice to cut…
#MondayMotivation – 6 Steps to Manifesting Your Dreams – 9/17/18
The following was sent to me via email: You have the power to create your own reality. It’s a pretty amazing gift that we all possess. My first experience with manifestation was shortly after I had started my business as a massage therapist. I had everything that I needed, except a space to work from. I didn’t want to work under an established spa, because I wanted the freedom to create exactly what I wanted…
#HealthyLivingTipOfTheWeek – 9/14/18
Everybody likes to say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and in some respects that’s true. Me being the rebel I am, I tend to skip it entirely. Well, ha ha, just kidding, I’m really such a workaholic that skipping breakfast has become commonplace for me, but for those who don’t, eating the right kinds of foods is just as important as eating breakfast at all. It’s been ingrained in us…

#KNOWledgeIsPower – Aretha Franklin Edition – 8/24/18
James Brown. Michael Jackson. Prince. And now, sadly, Aretha Franklin. What do these 4 have in common? Not only are they legends we’ve lost within the last 12 years, but all 4 of them died with questions surrounding their wills; questions about who gets what, in what proportion – it’s all a mess. In the case of the aforementioned, I’ll give examples: James Brown passed away in 2006, married to one of his backup…

From an inspirational daily email that I subscribe to, I wanted to share………..ENJOY!

Researchers say yes… In 1967, two psychiatrists, Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe, examined the medical records of more than 5,000 patients as a way to determine whether a “stress event” may cause future illness. The results were later published and became known as the Holmes and Rahe Stress…

Keto. Paleo. Atkins. And a gazillion other diets you’ve probably heard of that offer mixed results. What gives? They all use the low-carb (carbohydrate) approach to weight loss and staying healthy.

It’s only natural that in certain phases of our lives, we begin to wonder if we’re on the right track. I’ve had my share of those thoughts too. Thoughts like “am I where I’m supposed to be at this point in life”, “how much more do I have to go through to get to where I want to go”, “why do I have to endure hardship when others seem to thrive so easily”. Well, a…
