The holidays are upon us and that probably means some sort of added stress… Between traveling, shopping, cooking, entertaining, or all of the above, our heads tend to get a bit bogged down this time of the year. It’s super important to take the time to de-stress and re-center ourselves. Loving yourself is one of our 8 Steps to Stomp Out Breast Cancer and combined with a positive attitude, self love can help to assure good overall health— physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Meditation is one of our favorite ways to show our bides some self lovin’.
As we head into the holiday season, many of us begin feeling the mounting pressure to manage it all – travel, gifts, guests and amazing food. With memories of childhood gently nudging us to create magic for our own families, we often push ourselves to the edge, feeling run-down and sometimes even sick. Our immune systems become taxed due to a lack of sleep, lowered vitamin D levels, disrupted exercise routines, and poor nutrition. We absolutely LOVE the holidays but not if it means we can’t join in on the festivities and fun. This year we’re taking a hint from our friend Kris Kelly over at Goofy Foot Foods! She recommends starting each day with a positive intention and a cup of Immunity Boosting Tea, to help your body stay healthy and set the tone for “Balanced Abundance.”
Holiday season is upon us and we all know there’s nothing traditional about processed foods. But cooking everything from scratch can be tough too. You don’t have to throw in the towel on your health routine just because it’s the holidays or give up your traditional Thanksgiving recipes – and it doesn’t mean you have to make everything from scratch either.
We get it, us gals love our beauty products! Whether you wear makeup everyday or just on special occasions, there is a good chance that you are using some sort of product that includes toxins that are not-so-hot for your body. We often don’t realize just how many different products we are lathering on our bodies each day so it’s important to take note of exactly what is in the products we do use.
Healthy eating is one of the most important of our 8 Steps to Stomp Out Breast Cancer. Making small, healthy changes to your diet is scientifically linked to reducing your breast cancer risk and there is not better time to start than the present. Grubbing on fruits and vegetables that contain high fiber, antioxidants and other nutrients can help fight the disease.
