Wow! I just saw a video about weight loss using cardio vs. weights and what it said was so true. Here  is the link in case you are interested. I feel so bad for myself for all the cardio I did in the past. It seems so pointless. Some of the main points are: 1) The muscles you workout while doing cardio are not your large muscles so you are working out parts of your body that do not require much energy so you have to run for a long time to burn an amount of calories that will lead to significant weight loss. Think about the difference in the way a marathon runner looks versus a bodybuilder. 2) You have to spend much less time in the gym lifting weights than you do on the treadmill because it is more efficient. 3) Muscles keep burning fat more efficiently even when you are not in the gym. This is called Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption or EPOC for short. 4) Working out your larger muscles directly burns your fat not the carbs you consumed that day. 5) While cardio...

I got my edited manuscript today and am working on formatting it for Kindle publishing! So excited. The tile of the book is Are You Lost? Advice to Teens from a Reluctant Christian . I will certainly add the link here once it is published.

Hey guys, Instagram has been a great inspiration for me and I find myself on the social media platform a lot these days so I thought I'd share three instagram pages that I like to follow and inspire me the most: 1) lady_steph_fitlife 24.9K followers She is so inspirational! She is on insta due to her Herbalife business but I follow her for inspiration. I do not purchase Herbalife products and she herself does not even say you have to take the products to have a life. She went from working a 9-to-5 job to buying a life and taking control of her time. She pushes herself with 3 kids, a home, etc. and as a single woman she inspires me and she will inspire you to workout and get up and take control of your life too! She posts insta stories regularly and they are great to keep up with! 2) C_l_o 609K followers This is my favorite fashion artist on instagram. His posts are so mesmerizing. Everytime I see a post that catches my eye on my feed, I look up and see that it is on C_l_o...

Hi guys! I'm finally going to write a post that requires no purchases HAHA! Here are some life hacks that I find useful for a lazy girl who's trying to live her best life like me: 1) Freeze your fruits - this is the easiest thing you will do with the best health benefits. I don't like the idea of buying frozen fruits but I am often reluctant to eat fruits because of the texture (eg. bananas) or because they will run out quickly and they are super expensive (eg. raspberries). I found that freezing them allows me to eat a healthy snack with a nice smooth crunch (if that makes any sense). Just leave them in the freezer for 1 to 3 hours depending on the strength of your freezer. You will need a container for this. I always put fruits away now because you may want to make a smoothy or fruit bowl on a certain day and you'll have the fruit ready for you to use! 2) Hair loss? Cut your hair - This is a must. I had hair that hung 3 inches under my shoulders and due to ...

Sorry for all the posts on things you should buy but that's just what I find the most helpful at the moment. I'll change things up soon. These posts are by no means insinuating that you have to buy things to do things right, I'm simply sharing nifty things I have found helpful that I never knew about before. Today, I got a flexible cell phone holder in the mail. I'll post an update on how it goes! I need it because I am on my phone A LOT and it would be so convenient to prop it somewhere and just watch instead of progressively getting carpal tunnel. Health first! :) Thanks for reading! ~ES Edit 1 day later: This gadget has revolutionized my life people, get it!

Hey guys! So I would recommend a mechanical spinning brush to clean like this I know it's super random but it is a lifesaver. I doubt my bathroom would ever see a brush or cleaning supplies in general without it. Good luck ya'll!

I couldn't wait and I submitted my ebook - Are You Lost: Advice to Teens From a Reluctant Christian - for editing before even showing the book to anyone. I want to publish it raw and get people's reactions. I just fear it will change a lot if I share the book which are a reflection of my thoughts with people. Let's see how this goes. Next step is formatting and then self-publishing!

I have a 5 year journal I write in. Its great. Here is the same exact one I have: One Line a Day: A Five-Year Memory Book It allows you several lines to write in per day. On that same page, you will see four other sections for you to write in the following years. I've had mine for about a month and while I have not needed to look back on anything, it is nice to know that I can. I have terrible memory! I would suggest this alternative to a traditional journal to anyone who overthinks, is busy and/or has bad memory. Aside from that, it is nice to be able to look back at any day and know what you did. The brevity of each section allows you to write a quick note so you are not deterred from writing everyday, as opposed to a journal where people tend to skip days. I'm happy I found this in my local Target store because I really like journaling but traditional journals made me rant a lot and I did not want to spend my time dwelling on things. Hope this helps! Good luck ...

Haven't posted in a while. Wrote the second draft of my new ebook Are You Lost: Advice to Teens From A Reluctant Christian today! Super excited. I was inspired to keep writing by a neighbor of mine. I want to put it down for a week so I can edit it with fresh eyes and send it off to be formatted and finally get it self-published! Will obviously post link on here when complete. Peace 🕊
