Confession time: I’m a drinker. 😜

Not that kind of drinker—I’m a beverage girlie through and through. If it comes in a cute cup and has a wellness angle, I’m all in.

Here’s my current rotation:

But here’s the thing—I’m not just sipping for fun. I drink with a purpose. Lately, I’ve been focused on two major health goals:

👉 Balancing my blood sugar
👉 Nourishing my adrenal glands

And guess what? Most of us have....

I never set out to be an expert in hospital preparedness.

I didn’t want that badge.

But sometimes life hands you the unexpected—and suddenly you’re learning the ropes under fluorescent lights, in waiting rooms, and in places that feel far from home.

This year, our family went through what felt like an emotional earthquake.

My daughter had an emergency birth. Then a brain tumor. Then surgery.

And then, complications after surgery.

We lived inside a hospital room for weeks—surviving on vending machine snacks, whispering prayers over her sleeping body, and learning medical terms we never wanted to know.

If you’ve ever walked this road—or even stood on the edge of it—I see you.

And I want to pass along the little things that helped me breathe a little easier in the chaos.

Because while not everything is in our control, some things are.

And believe it or not…

Well good morning, friend! ☀️

Back-to-school season is officially here. If your house looks anything like mine, the pencils are sharpened, the notebooks are (mostly) labeled… and the brains? Well, sometimes they still seem stuck in summer mode. 😅

If motivation, memory, and focus aren’t showing up when you need them most, don’t worry—you’re not alone! Let’s talk about some...

True story: I don’t like lavender or patchouli. 🤦‍♀️
I know… shocking! Lavender is the #1 scent in the world, and I’m over here like, hard pass. 🙅‍♀️

And to make it worse—I’ll admit it—I still love a few toxic fragrances. (Shhh. Don’t tell.)

BUT after reversing eczema and clearing up lung issues in our home, those fake, chemical-filled smells are never coming back. 🚫

If you’re like me and you want your home to smell beautiful and cozy without the toxins, I have two incredible swaps you need to know about.

Your period isn’t supposed to knock you out, wreck your mood, or make you avoid white pants like the plague.

But if you’re…

…then your body is waving a big red flag 🚩

And the message? Something’s off with...

Even if you’ve never been diagnosed with insulin resistance, now is the perfect time to understand it—before it sneaks in.

To be honest, I never thought it would happen to me.

But looking back?

It makes total sense.

Let me explain…

The other day, I opened the dryer, pulled out a towel, and—no joke—it thanked me. 

Okay, maybe not out loud, but it was so soft, so fresh, and smelled like it had just come home from a spa weekend that I kind of expected it to whisper, “Bless you, woman.” 😂

I use Thieves Laundry Soap and I love it!. It’s my go-to. The no-junk, plant-powered kind of clean that doesn’t punch my family’s skin in the face.
