Cracked, dead skin is not the look. Am I right? It's hard to get to the foot spa, especially in these times. So, I thought that I'd help bring the foot spa to you! I've never, personally, been a big pedicure fan to begin with. I'm fairly ticklish so getting a pedicure is like a horror movie for me. I looked into purchasing a foot scrub but they were all expensive and some of the reviews weren't really that awesome and the bottom line was, why spend money on something that doesn't even work? I toyed around with a few different DIY scrub ideas before I created the best scrub that made my feet feel baby smooth. I've also added this into my weekly self care routine so it not only makes my feet feel the softest they've ever been, but by making it and doing it myself, I'm hitting that self care energy that I so desperately need.

"Now that I'm spending more time at home, I can really focus on what I'm putting into my body and focus on feeling good again. One of my favorite post-workout meals lately has been this smoothie. It's packed with 25 grams of protein. NB Pure's protein only has 6 ingredients in it! It easily mixes into smoothies and has nothing artificial added. It's also cholesterol free, low in sugar, and made with Omega 3's!"

Can we take a moment to just say thank you to our livers? Dang, they really do a TON of work for our health so let's just give it up to them. It is the workhorse of your digestive system and, woah does it work hard. A liver is the size of a football and it's the second largest organ of your body (the first being the skin). More impressive than it's size, is it's functionality. Did you know that it does 500 jobs to keep the body healthy? FIVE HUNDRED. Yeah, this 3 pound organ is definitely an MVP candidate. The most important of the jobs are all metabolic. Everything that you consume, your liver filters it and decides what to do with it.

Fiber is lacking in most Americans’ diets, but it is especially of concern for those consuming high fat / low carb diets. Fat slows digestion and decreases GI motility so a diet containing adequate fiber is important for regularity. However, fiber is typically found in the very foods people on high fat diets avoid: high carb foods. How do you consume enough fiber while keeping your carb intake low?

"No green thumb, no problem" - is the motto that I live by. When I started my house plant journey, I can not tell you how many plants that I, to politely put it, murdered. At one point, my husband accused me of being the president of the Dead Plants Society. He thinks he's funny. Alright, he's a little funny. Little did we know that I, Lauren "why are all my plants dead?" Ferrell, would rise from the ashes to make the inside of my home an amazing urban jungle.

Starting out, I popped on Pinterest, like many of us do, and found a suggestion list of a few plants that bloggers guaranteed to me that I could not kill. Guess what - I killed my way through about 4 of those other blogger's lists before I finally spoke to someone at a plant nursery. So if this list doesn't work for you, chances are it's because the lighting and quality of my surroundings, are different than yours. When you're picking out your house plants - consider the light you need, the moisture you need, and your general lifestyle. I don't have a ton of natural light inside of my house, I am a mom on the go so I needed plants that I could basically forget I owned for a few days at a time, and I live in Arizona. It's super dry - all the time (Surprisingly though - I killed quite a few succulents despite having great conditions for them). If this list isn't your list- it's all good, a nursery plant expert will help you. Believe that.

Nothing irks me more than when I'm trying to find a recipe in a blog and I have to scroll through a story. So here's the recipe is right at the top, easy to find. Enjoy.
But now can we PLEASE talk about how delicious this drink is? I can't speak for everyone, but I can tell you that I struggle with getting the amount of fiber I need everyday. All I can here is my doctor sternly saying "25 grams of fiber, 25 grams of fiber, you've got this!" to me on repeat at my last visit. This mom of 2 who's biggest fiber adventure has been eating whatever is left on my kid's plates decided to up her game. I tried a few different fibers and none were as delicious, as mixable, and as easy to use as NB Pure's Daily Multi Fiber.
