JUMPSUIT / ALSO LOVE HERE & HERE / HEELS / WALLET (ON SALE!)

Since this jumpsuit only has two sizes left, I linked another two that are very cute! I’m wearing a size 4.  The sizes they have left are 2 & 10.   But seriously grab it if your size is left!  One of my favorites and they quality is so nice and super comfortable.  

Switching lanes here, I wanted to talk about spicing it up.  What do I mean?  Well ya see, I know I feel like shit when I look like shit.  When I don’t try to do anything for myself that day, or try to even brush my hair…  this isn’t a vain thing to do.  Trying to look our best is something that I think fights the mental game in our head that says we suck.  By taking 10 minutes a day to spruce it up, you will have a better day!  No it isn’t a vain thing to say, and there is nothing wrong with that. 

Just try a little harder to look a little better is all! You will feel a little better too.  I know the days I’m living in my own filth, I think to myself “what is life?” haha.  When the days I get up and try, I think to myself “you got this!”.  It really is a mental thing, but we’re human and getting up and trying makes it worth it.  Besides spice it up for that husband of yours.  I’m sure he’ll appreciate it! 

NOW, I’m NOT saying go get dressed to the nines everyday, lashes, contour etc.. no not at all.  Just do what make you FEEL good.  For example, washing my face, putting on CC cream, mascara & my brows makes me feel accomplished and ready to take on the day.  That takes me tops 5 mins. 

Now, let me take it back.  I know they’re hard days and busy days as a stay at home working mom that it just happens, and I live in my own filth, but shit happens.  All I’m saying is do what makes you feel good! If putting on the lipstick makes you feel good, then do it!  

Also, another HUGE thing for me is getting dressed up and going out on a date with my husband… can you say THERAPUTIC.  No, but really I love doing that. It makes me feel human and not like I’m always wearing the mom hat. 

Okay so, are you guys involved in my Secret FB group called LOVE HIIT BG BABES.  It’s basically a support group of moms using LOVE HIIT BG and sharing our tips and tricks with anything in life.  IF not, you should come join!  I wanted to create it to get more involved and get to know all of you better!  Just another place to chat!  Lots of things will be happening there, including a giveaways, and tips and secrets!  

 

MY MORNING SMOOTHIE: FAB 4

THE FAB 4 SMOOTHIE… where do I even begin about this amazing smoothie.

WELL.. if you guys follow me on my IG stories and snapchat you know that I drink this baby every morning. 

Lets back it up here, I recently found Be Well By Kelly.  @bewellbykelly on instagram and saw her Fab 4 smoothie Idea and FELL IN LOVE with her & the smoothie.  She’s so informative and knowledgeable when it comes to health.  

Her fab 4 smoothie gave me loads and loads of ideas for smoothies.  I’ve been drinking and testing out tons of different recipes all Summer long, and I’ve got one I want to share with you now!  I love this one, and hope you do too.  

So why do I love it so much?  Well, it keeps me full and satisfied longer, also starts my day off on the right foot, so I’m always reaching for good things throughout the day.  It helps control your blood sugar levels so they don’t spike soon after eating, therefore making you feel like you want all the carbs.

What does Fab 4 Smoothie mean?  

“The #bewellsmoothie is a formula to help you develop a blood sugar balancing meal replacement shake in any flavor with enough protein, fat and fiber to keep you full. Many juice shops, grocery smoothie bars and smoothie recipes are loaded with sugar, specifically fructose sugar from excess fruit. Fructose sugar stores as fat 20-30% faster than glucose. The #bewellsmoothie limits fructose to 1/4 cup. 

#FAB4Smoothie : Protein (20g min) + Fiber (10g min) + 1 Tbsp. Fat + Handful Greens + 1/4 Cup Fruit + Superfoods + Liquid

There is the formula!  I’ve followed this every single morning the whole Summer, and I can honestly tell you it works!  I used to eat breakfast and feel STARVED after an hour, now I eat and feel satisfied for a good 3-4 hours before I eat again.  

I never crave anything sugary or carby (carby?) haha yep carby.  So if you’re looking to shed some LB’S and trying to keep satisfied, try it out!  I will keep sharing my smoothie ideas with you on my stories, so make sure to follow along.

Try it for yourself & let me know how you like it!
