Home Workout Gear I love (space saving too!)

 So working from home and with the gyms being closed for most of the part last year, I had to get creative on my workout and self care overall. At First I used apps like Fit Body By Anna Victoria (I love her and her messages about body image and overall health!) To trying youtube workouts and finally Apples Fitness+. All of these are great options for at home workouts but you do need some equipment to be able to work out at home so below I have listed some of my favorite finds and where to purchase them!

1. Yoga Mat- This is a huge must have! After shopping around at Target, Dicks Sporting Goods, Walmart and Amazon the cheapest high quality mat I had found was at Marshalls! I picked up this Gaiam 5mm Purple yoga mat for $9.99! Click Here to Order on Marshalls Site
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. 40" Foldable Mini Trampoline- Okay so you might say do I need this? The answer is not really buit its an amazing and fun way to get your cardio in! Plus it has a stability bar which is really nice because when you start to get tired sometimes your balance is off and that's the last thing you want when jumping around on a trampoline. I jump and run on this to get my heartrate up while I watch TV and the best thing is that I can fold it up and move it out of the way when its not in use! Sometimes i leave it out though because my dog loves to lay on it like a dog bed! 
   
   
   
3. Innstar Adjustable Bench Press with Bar- This is great for working out your arms nad back! When ordereding it does have different weight bands(80lbs, 105lbs, 150lbs and 200lbs) that were determined by the different colors. I also loce that the bar had little holes at the end so you can add other resistant bands to do squats as well!
   
   
   
   
4. Resistant bands- Ones with clips i like the best because they can be interchangeable with benches, bars and handles too! This one is great because it has 5 bands (10lbs, 20lbs, 30lbs, 40lbs and 50lbs!) I like that you can add weight and slowly go up when needed! Plus right now there is $2 off coupon with amazon so it makes it $17.95!
   
   
   
   
5. Dumbbells/Kettel bells- Grab them at your local Marshalls or TjMaxx! they will range from $5-$15 but its the cheapest i've found them at especially with everyone building up their home gyms its a great place to save!
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. A Cloth bin- I use this for storage of my bands, yoga mat and other random exercise equipment i pick up, its easy to toss in there and looks neater plus you know where everything is!

Liver, Digestive System and Gut Health,

 Your Health is important, but how do we maximize on our health without breaking our budget? How do we know what products will actually help you vs. a placebo effect? 

I did not have the healthiest childhoods, I was not taught about proper foods, cooking, and exercise was not a thing in our household either. So how am I changing my mindset and life? One choice at a time.

So you read that first part and are thinking how does this relate to MY liver and gut health? By one choice at a time you can be on a better track with your health which starts in your gut. 

Eating Right of course is the number one thing to help your health. Eating Whole foods, clean foods(not processed), fruits, veggies and yes carbs too! But how can we support our liver and gut in better ways? Supplements definitely will boost your health and I will explain some supplements that I use and love. 

4 Ways To Support Your Liver Digestive System and Gut:

1.  Water, you have to be drinking water at least 50oz a day. this allows your body which is 60% water to flush out toxins! Think of your body like a filtration center, you need water to run, work and clean. If you drink  more water you can replace out the gross dirty water(toxins) with clean healthy water to clean your system even more and run without building up with rust!
   
   
2. Alcohol Intake: limit how much you drink. this is one of the main reason for liver damage because your liver acts like a filter and if your constantly filtering alcohol through your liver it will lead to swelling, scaring and kill part of your liver if not all of it. 
   
   
3. Exercise: this does not mean you have to work out 1hr a day everyday! Making smart choices like a 10min walk twice a day makes a huge difference!
   
   
4. Eating Better: eating in moderation and making better choices like eggs and toast over a bowl of Lucky Charms(I just saw the St. Patty's day ones that turn your milk green at the store and chose not to by it even though I wanted it)
   
   
5. Supplements when necessary: Supplementing some of your nutrients will help you feel better. Vitamins D I added into my daily routine because of covid. I was not spending as much time outside or in the sun which is a huge way our bodies get Vitamin D. Sometimes we need an extra boost and that is normal and okay!

 Chinese medicine states that the yearly spring cycle begins the activations of your liver organ as life starts to stir in the spring, plants start to bloom and grow, our bodies do too. 

Our bodies react to the weather around you, during the winter months our bodies begin to hibernate as it does not like the cold and wants to stay put to stay warm. In Spring our bodies know warm weather is coming and wants to be outside more get fresh air and bloom. This is what activates the liver, it starts to give you the itch to move more, maybe motivate you to exercise or start a new hobby! Your body wants to purge the toxins that are stuck because the lack of moving.  

What to look for in your Liver Supplements: 

• ALA (alpha lipoic acid)- this protects your liver cells and will boost your glutathione production (an antioxidant that that can be lowered due to poor nutrition, stress and environmental toxins).
• Wasabi Root- Helps in the removal of toxins
• Milk Thistle Seed Extract- Assists in normal liver function
• Vitamin C- Helps repair damaged tissue

You cannot just support your liver health without supporting your gut health! There is a saying that your Gut affects your whole body. Spoiler alert: IT DOES! 

Your gut is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste(not all bad stuff but excess unwanted products as well), so therefore its so important to have a health maintained gut. There is good bacteria and bad bacteria, the good will keep the bad in check so they cannot outgrow their space and a balanced gut is key to keeping your equilibrium. with an unbalanced gut it could lead to IBS, Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. 

How can you change the bacteria in your gut? Well a healthy diet is one, less processed foods, less sodium and sugars too. 

Pro and Prebiotics is the second. These will help you take in more nutrients such as calcium, vitamin c & d which will inturn help you build up your immune system and lessen the effects of your seasonal allergies and even the effects of your lactose intolerance if you have that. 

 

Now as I stated in the beginning I want to share some products that will help with your spring cleaning of your liver and gut. Axis which is a pre, post and probiotic as well as Digestive Enzymes and Activate 3 day cleanse by Modere. These three products will kickstart you overall health goals this year and give you the energy you've been lacking. It's like the crutch when your injured to allow your body to repair and flourish like you want it to!

These 3 products i have taken and love, the cleanse I take once a month and the other two on a daily basis. I know it works for me because I've seen the results, More energy, less bloating, and I'm not getting an upset stomach like I use to everytime I ate even the cleanest meals. 

Make Good choices one at a time!

Trim from Mōdere

I know weight loss products are still a little taboo, most people are tired of the constant ads false promises and expensive products with terrible taste right? Normally I would agree, I’ve tired “It Works”, “Advocare” even the shakeology crazy too but nothing seem to work. My diet is not crazy filled with the normal crap, I don’t eat fast food often and I make a lot of healthy choices with an abundance of fruits, veggies and lean meats too! So what can help me if nothing seems to work? I’m an active person, I work out, I go on numerous walks and hikes with my dogs and boyfriend as well.

It all seems so helpless sometimes with you’re trying to lose a little fat and gain more muscle too Well that is until I found Modere’s Trim. Now I did get over the craze of expensive weightloss products after trying so many before but after trying their liquid collagen I figured one bottle couldn’t hurt to try.

Trim, what is it?

• Clinically proven to shrink fat cells

How Does it work?

• Take it twice a day, the CLA and other Patient and scientifically proven ingredients do their own thing to help you do your thing! 
• I take mine first thing in the morning before breakfast and at night before bed!
• With a clean diet and exercise it will accelerate your results however clean eating alone with this will show you results in as little as a month for most people!

What does it taste like? Deliciousness with no weird aftertaste! It comes in these following flavors in order by my favorites:

• Chocolate
• Coconut Lime
• Vanilla
• Mango

Skin Care

 I have been changing my skin care routine up quite a bit during quarantine, I was trying to find a cleanser that worked for me, wasn't crazy expensive and had good ingredients, That sounded impossible because when i would find one that was made with natural ingredients it was a pretty penny. and when i found cost effective options, they did not have the best ingredients and also did not work,. They would leave my skin feeling tight and dried out and i would end up either breaking out or needing to excessively moisturize.

I finally decided to try out Modere's skin care line. I do love their liquid college and other supplements so I might as well try out their skin care too.  The price point was more than reasonable at $12.99 and the ingredients like aloe, cocoa seed butter, sweet almond oil and rose hip oil seem promising as well.  I have to say I was not let down, I tried it for about a week to make sure but right away my skin felt nourished, moisturized and overall comfortable. The small breakouts I was getting before cleared up right away and my blackheads were almost gone completely after the first week. 

They have a set which comes with the Dry Skin Cleanser, Day cream and Night cream as well which is what I had originally purchased for $42.16 but their Night cream is out of stock currently so at night I've been using my First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair cream from Sephora which I've had on had and use on and off. But the results I do believe are mainly coming from the change of Cleanser and the Day Cream as i used the First Aid Beauty cream in the past but without these results. 

Also if you have 5 or more products when you order with Modere you can save up to 10% off as long as you sign up for smartship! The great thing about smartship is you can add or replace anything you want as long as your order is ad or above $75 you keep the double the discount promo! It is also so easy to review your smartship and make changes right on their site or through the app!

Modere is a company I do love and stand behind, they make great products at an affordable price that's also clean and that is reassuring. 

These are in my everyday routine:

• CLEANSER DRY SKIN
  TOOTHPASTE
  DAY CREAM DRY SKIN
  LIQUID BIOCELL® LIFE
  MODERE CELLPROOF EYE CREAM
  
• Subtotal Before discounts/Promos: $152
  With 10% off Smartship Save- $15!
  AND as a first time customer get $10 off using my Refferal code:3702288
  Total: $136+tax for these 5 items!! To me thats like getting the cleanser free;)

Gardening and you!

I fell in love with gardening the first summer I had my apartment balcony. I love having fresh flowers blooming and knowing I am helping to feed the bees and humming birds that come to visit! I loved it so much I got a hydroponic garden for my kitchen so I could have fresh herbs to cook with like basil and mint for water! 

It all seems like a lot of work at first but its more so therapeutic. Now I still have the same balcony 2 almost 3 years later but I still love changing out my flowers for each season, making sure they get enough sunlight wither it be moving them to the left or right or positioning the sun lamps at the right angle, and of course watering them. 

Plants teach you a lot in return as well. A good plant needs good nutrients, like soil, water, sunlight and even food here and there to grow strong and healthy. This will allow the plants to fight off the pesky insects and bugs that attack and eat it. Sound familiar? We as humans also need good nutrients sunlight and water to stay healthy and to fight off those pesky bugs and attacks are immune systems face almost daily. I always heard that analogy growing up and understood it but it never truly sank in until well this year. 

I feel as humans we tend to spend a lot of time taking care of other things, our family, friends, work, pets and even plants but we more often than not put ourselves on the back burner. Why is that? We are important because without your own health you cannot do all those things, There is this saying "You cannot pour from an empty cup" then why is it we put others before ourselves almost regularly? 

I'm just here today to remind you that you are important. Without focusing on your own health, both physical and mental, you cannot help others. You are an important part of this puzzle of life but you have to focus on your own health, nutrition, water intake, sunlight(vitamins) and soil(mental space)  before you deplete yourself to lift up others. 

I hope you have an amazing day💜

Favorite supplements for immune health

    My Health is my number one goal and priority currently. With everything going wrong in 2020 it is the least thing I can do is put a huge focus on my overall health and well being. Now I'm not just talking about losing weight to become skinny. That has never really been a goal of mine but more so to tone out and be more in shape has been my goals. Now its all about how I feel: how are my energy levels? do I get winded easily? Am I getting sick often? Those are the questions I ask myself when it comes to my overall fitness and health. 

Now I've taken supplements before but I didn't really know what I was putting in my body and how it was going to work I just though “oh look so and so is taking this it must be good, right?” But I did not think about if it was right for me, what will this product do and what ingredients are in it. Now I'm so much more conscious of what supplements I am putting into my body and the adverse effects of them. 

I do work with Modere currently, but I did buy and tried their products without discount payment or promotions  needed before I wanted to start selling with them. I researched there products so in depth and do truly believe they have a great and helpful product. But it’s not just there products I take so below I Am going to list what im currently taking and why. I am not a doctor nor medical/nutritionist by any means! I just do a lot of research on products I want to try and I do recommend you do the same because not all products are created equal specially in the supplement world and there also might be ingredients your body does not respond well to!

• Modere Life Liquid Collagen: I've been taking this for about 4 months now and love it. For me I saw instant results with my hair first and foremost, it was growing in faster, thicker and I had less hair loss overall. Next I noticed my joints cracking and creaking wayyyy less and not almost not at all. My skin has always suffered from dryness that no moisturizer could assist with and now its hydrated and smooth and my nails are also growing in thicker and longer than ever before. It is a great way to support your cardiovascular health! Also it tastes like fruit punch, is not tested on animals, BPA free and they use recyclable packaging. (click the photo to view on their website! Code 3702288 for $10 off your first order!)

• Modere GO: this I kinda use more so as a multivitamin, it’s comes as a single serve packet that goes into 12-16oz if water and I love the açaí pomegranate flavor so much! It has all the vitamins you can love and want for your body that helps not only support your immune system but also give you energy though your the day with the 100mg if caffeine. I also love that it helps me keep hydrated and up my intake of water! (click the photo to view on their website! Code 3702288 for $10 off your first order!)

• Organic Olivia Parapro: when my body started to get acne and really bad abdominal cramping I new something was going on with my gut. Parasites can grow within your gut that was transferred from food and no matter how healthy you eat it can still happen! From eating organic foods to your weekly sushi any foods can have parasites that transfer over and thrive in your gut! This helps get rid of the bad ones that are wreaking havoc on your system and cause things like cystic acne, sever cramping in your stomach and not being regular. So when that starts to happen I take the Parapro for about 3-6 days (sometimes longer if need be) to rid my body of these parasites! (click the photo to view on her website)

• Organic Olivia: Adrenal Recovery: feeling overworked? Stressed out? Can’t sleep? Yeah I have days and even weeks like this too and the Adrenal recovery helps balance my HPA axis dysregulation. Now you’re probably like what’s that? Pretty much it’s the feeling of exhaustion that no amount of sleep can fix that stress causes. This allows me to calm that always on fight or flight mode and deal with my stress levels better. In turn you’ll get more restful sleeps and build your tolerance of stress back up  (click the photo to view on her website!)

*I do earn a small commission on Modere products and with promo code:3702288 you will also receive $10 off your first purchase! However i do love their products regardless*

How are you?

No, really how are you doing? 

This is a little different that my normal blog posts but its so important:

Lets stop and acknowledge our feelings wither it be happy, sad or indifferent. I know I am not always okay, no matter how hard I pretend to be and if your human i'm sure you have the same feelings too. Life is hard, 2020 is hard, BUT it is going to get easier as everything does in time. We need stop pretending that we are just okay all the time and have your moments of sadness, happiness or even moments of indifferent.

To often we see such a beautiful side of life, all the happy moments people post on social media because no one wants to post sad moments or their breakdowns and that is okay. As long as we can know everyone has them, no ones life is prefect. I'm so grateful for those around me but that does not mean I don't have feelings of sadness and despair sometimes 

Please take care of yourself, body mind and soul. Don't forget to schedule your regular doctors appointments checkups are great! Do a spa day for yourself or stay in bed and watch your favorite movies/shows. 

You are amazing and you are doing wonderful no matter what life throws at you! 

Please reach out to your friends or family, even me if you need to talk, vent, cry share your feelings all of them not just your happy ones. 

Enjoy your life and make it what you want it to be, do not let anyone discourage you from that!

I hope you have an amazing day =)

Hair!

I think we all have a love hate relationship with our hair, right? Some days its amazing just came from the salon look and most days we look like we rolled out of bed threw it in a messy bun and called it a day. Either way that its okay! But if you want to up your hair game here are some tips and tricks ive found works for me over the last couple of years!

1.  Hair masks: these are a must! you need goo healthy hair regardless of how you wear it and masks will help you in all kinds of ways. Wither it be repairing damage to adding moister to even keeping the frizz at bay. There are a ton you can make at home and also a ton you can by pre-made too! here are some i love to use:
• Raw Sugar Healing Power: this i found at target for $9.99 for 12oz, its an avocado, banana oil, coconut milk and agave mask, i use this once a week as a substitute to my conditioner. after washing my hair ill throw that on for 10-15 mins then rinse with cold water. I've had it for like 2-3 months so its worth the price plus its also part of their clean beauty

• Olive Oil: I'm a fan of the old school olive oil in your hair on a weekly basis, this helps me maintain my shine and keep my hair from being to dry and brittle. Throw it all over your hair and let it sit for like 1.5-2 hours then wash as usual!
• I always find random hair masks in the disposable shower caps on targets clearance sections when I'm there! check them out because they are usually marked down to $1-$4 and they will always have different types depending on what you are looking for!
  
• Sephora Collection Hair Masks: These are overnight masks for $5 they also come in the disposable shower caps so when you sleep it does not get all over the place! These are great to have on hand after a pool or beach day as the chlorine and salt water take a toll on your hair!

• When in doubt and want to make your own hair care masks: Pinterest it up! You can find so many great DIY masks on Pinterest! from hair to face but please make sure to test these on small parts of you first before covering your entire head of hair or face if its a face mask! I've had slight allergic reactions before so just try it before committing to it all!
  
  
1. Hair Ties: not all hair ties are equal!
• Silk Hair Scrunchies Amazon: I had purchased these back in May of this year (2020) and I've seen a huge difference on the amount of hair I pull out. I use to use the classic thick banded ones Scunci makes, and don't get me wrong they do the job of holding your hair up but I would still get them stuck in my hair when doing messy buns and then there would be that painful rip. The silk ones from amazon are $9.99 for 6 hair ties and I also haven't lost one yet which is amazing!
  
  

• Slipsilk Scrunchies: These little guys are a little pricey but your hair is worth it! the silk hair scrunchies are based off of these guys and  they definitely do a much better job of treating your hair like a princess. they come in various sizes but the two most popular are the mini size and original scrunchies: mini is a set of 3 for $20 and the original is a set of 6 for $39 at Sephora and on Amazon.
  
  

Either way you go, make your main hair ties worth your hair and go with a silk version!

1. Hair Tools: Heat is not always a winner but it definitely helps when it comes to styling your hair. 
• Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush: This thing is amazing, I will usually air dry my hair or towel dry but this makes me want to style my hair after I shower! It super easy to use and works like a charm, plus its so fast!  i have the mint ble one but it comes in standard black and a turquoise. They run $49.99 on amazon at regular price, plus it is returnable if you decide you do not like it. I love mine! I try to use it on cool instead of hot so that i do not damage my hair as much but both settings work like a dream! you can curl or straighten with this as well!
  
  
  
  
  
• Hair Straighter: So I've had my Hair straighter for like 10 years and I absolutely love it! Its made by John Frieda it is a 1Inch straighter that can go up to 455 degrees F in 15 seconds and has a LCD display and also will turn off automatically in case you forget that its on and leave the house like so many girls do! I also love that it has extra long plates so you can style your hair faster and easier too.
  
  
  
  
  
• If you're extra bougie the Dyson Air Wrap is amazing. I do not personally have one (yet =P) but I've used it a handful of times and its amazinggggg. My hair dresser also has one and uses it on my hair im always in love with how it comes out. The reviews really say it all. Its a little awkward to get use to but really its so versatile it comes with multiple attachments so you can straighten and curl your hair or give it that just had a blow out look. if you are looking to replace both your hair dryer, straighter and curler than this is what you are looking for! its $549.99 for 6 attachments and a carrying case! you can find it on Amazon, Dyson.com or even Sephora and get the extra points!
  
  
  
  
  
2. Pillow case: now youre thinking what is she even talking about? my pillowcases are fine! they came with my bedset and are cute af. well they might be cute but they could be doing your hair the most damage. Having a rough pillow case or even sheet set can be bad for your hair and skin. The friction when you sleep causes you hair to break or even can create rough dry skin. The answer is yet again Silk! Not all silk has to be expensive but there are more luxurious ones that are better for your skin as well:
• Amazon Leccod 2 pack Shinny Silk Pillowcase with hidden zipper:  these are great for an inexpensive pillowcase! they are super soft and gentle on your hair which limits the amount of friction between your head and the pillow in turn limiting the damage to your hair! they come in various neutral colors so that they will match with any bed spread and i love the hidden zipper detail that this one has, it makes sure your pillow stays put in the case but easily taken off and washed. plus no ugly zipper flapping around that could also get caught in your hair. This 300 tread count Silk Pillow case is  $12.99 for a queen hidden zipper 2 pack!
  
  
  
  
  
• Slip- Silk Pillowcase: these guys are similar to the amazon but much more soft and genital.  this one is made from natural hypoallergenic, dust mite resistant satin allowing skin to breath much more easier which is why they price difference is there.
  The standard Queen is $89.00 at Amazon and comes in 10 colors: 8 standard colors and 2 marbled effects.

Lets Talk Energy Levels!

If you are anything like me your energy levels have been sinking or just going up and down like waves on the beach. A lot has to do with staying at home more and not being in an office environment for me, as well as fighting normal colds that you unfortunately will think is more than just a cold. What I am trying to do is focus on my overall wellness to me mainly includes what I am ingesting. This could be my basic meals and snacks to  supplements and also medications/vitamins. Now I am not a doctor, I did not go to school for any of these subjects either I am just conducting my own research to find the best fit for me and if you choose to follow what I am doing that is up to you 100%. 

Here is 2-3 things I did to help my overall energy levels and build a stronger immune system:

        I tired to just buy healthier options at the grocery store, more veggies, leaner meats, whole foods, snacks that didn't have a lot of additives or processed sugars. Some people can kill it that I way, they stay with it and see results like weight loss, improved energy and better digestion right away, but unfortunately was not one of those people. I felt like I was wasting foods more that using them or I still could not figure out what to make to eat for each meal. So I then tried to stick with a cookbook, go by those recipes, Create a specific grocery list and only get the ingredients I need. This seemed full proof except finding certain ingredients is sometimes impossible and expensive especially in a pandemic. Also I did still find myself with excess waste and that I really hate. Food going bad or just not needing half of something that I can not really add to a different meal was to wasteful, not only for the lost money but just food waste is really unnecessary. That's when I started to look into the different meal delivery services. 

    I had tried some previously when I had first moved out on my own, I could cook basic meals but sometimes you want to spice it up. I checked out options such as HelloFresh, HomeChef, Martha, Fresh & Easy, Noom, and even Freshly. That's a lot of options when it comes to meal delivery services! However some you have to make some come pre-made, and some are commitments. Overall I choose Hellofresh, for me the ability to use there app to choose my meals, skip a week track my delivery and follow the instructions there if  I misplace the cards made it simple. The prepackaged meals come with almost everything you need, I say almost because they still have you use ingredients you should have at home such as salt, pepper. olive oil ect. The meals can take 20mins- 50mins including prep but this still allowed me to cook and feel apart of the process of knowing what is going into my body. Now this was just step one of what I was doing, however it definitely helped because knowing I am not wasting food, eating out so much by ordering food constantly and also just feeling more self-sufficient cooking something you normally would not was awesome. 

        Next I had my blood taken at my annual physical to determine my vitamin levels. This is something you'll have to ask your primary doctor for, it was an odd question but if you explain why and are open and honest with them they'll help you with a game plan.They can also can set you up with a nutritionist which may be covered by your insurance. I wanted to know if I was deficient in anything and how to correct this wither it be taking a specific vitamin or a multi-vitamin. Now nothing came up completely off balance but they did recommend to up my vitamins with a basic daily multivitamin which can be bought over the counter, pretty much up to me to find one I liked. I did see a nutritionist too and she recommended more veggies, lean proteins and less pasta, not surprising but I took that information all into account when choosing my meals for the week. With the multivitamins, I've probably researched 30, not all are created equal and its sometimes crazy how they source these vitamins as well. I ended up finding one with Modere. I've been taking a lot of there other products which I do love because I have personally found results with there products. Instead of the standard multivitamin pill I decided there GO product was better for me. Its a packet that you can take on the go and mix in water, it provides 11 vitamins and 5 minerals which was what I was looking for. Plus its made from clean natural products like green tea and other plant extracts to provide your body with exactly what you need and non of the processed modified crap you don't. Now this did not have Biotin, Iodine or Magnesium like some multivitamins do have, Modere does make a multivitamin that does have that however I personally did not need to supplement that into my daily routine so that is why I choose the GO. It does come in 3 flavors; Citrus, Fruit Punch and also Pomegranate(this one is my absolute favorite it tastes like pomegranate tea!) I choose this to also help with my energy levels on a day to day too. The green tea extract was important to me and it also made me hydrate more throughout the day with adding a little flavor too the standard water i would be drinking. 

       Finally I started to walk more. Exercise no doubt is important, even if you can or ill be real with you don't want to go for a jog or heavy workout session go for a walk, even if its only around the block or up the street. I am terrible at being consistent at working out but i do go for a walk 2-3 times a day. they might not be long or i might not sweat a lot but i get up and move. Now more than ever its important to take a walk or just move especially if you are working from home as before you got up and moved around some when you were at the office. If you have a dog he or she will appreciate the movement too, my neighbors walk there cats if an animal can keep you company might as well get them exercise too! You'll never know what you'll stubble across on your walk!

I hope you found some of this information useful! I know its long winded but there is definitely more to your body then what you see, please be mindful of the products you put in it and how you treat it. I've learned a lot but of course im still learning and now a days you definitely need a combination of western medicine and eastern medicine. I Personally will try and find more natural products when it comes to over the counter supplies and of course listen to my medical professionals with there advise as they are trained and specialized in this subject. However it never hurts to seek a second option if your gut is telling you something different. I do also want to state i take other supplements from Modere to help with maintaining and loosing weight as well which I've touched on with my Liquid Collagen Blog. I can go into more dept in a future blog as well if you guys would like!

Liquid Collagen

The Liquid Gold I’ve been taking and loving!🥰

You’ve probably seen it everywhere right? Collagen that is! In all kinds of forms it comes powdered, liquid, in bards and added into different drinks like supplements or even in capsules too right? I use to and still sometimes do add the powered one I have into a smoothly when I make one and that works when I make it but it’s definitely not as effective as 1) I don’t do it on the regular and 2) Your body just doesn’t naturally absorb power collagen. 

Now I saw the Instagram ads for liquid collagen everywhere  and I mean literally EVERYWHERE. All types of brands and flavors, but which one is right for me?! So I didn’t a lot of research and reached out to different people around me I knew who tried it as well and then I there’s  Modere. At first I was like okay not bad tastes like fruit punch I can totally do this twice a day! I’m gonna also track my progress because if I want to see results I also need to know where I start at. This product is no joke amazing, I love it! I tried it for a month before taking a second photo and that’s where I saw the results! The growth on my hair was awesome but the less loss was more of the change for me! 

More so my joints feel way better! They are less sore after workouts and less cracking and creaking when stretching and moving around too! I’m excited to try out more of there other products and report back because they seem to really know what they are doing! I have started the trim and noticed a little more definitions in spots where I normally don’t store fat. As long and I’m consistently with my workouts I also seem to be losing weight more rapidly there as well! 

Update: I got Kevin my Boyfriend to start taking it regularly with me, which he has issues with his hips and needs to stretch them on a daily sometime 2-3 times a day basis to feel better. He has been taking it for two weeks only once a day and notices he does not have to stretch as often if at all! 

The joint relieve alone is a huge benefit, the hair and skin is definitely a plus do not get me wrong but if your joints feel better you can move more freely and that opens up more doors to what you can and want to do! If you feel better you’re happier and want to be more active which is amazing!

I loved the products so much I decided to work with them to get you all a discount, so anyone who buys with me will get $10 off your first purchase!

Update(3/20/2021): I’m still loving this product! I needed to reorder and was out for a week and noticed my skin starting to go back to being dry like before not as bad but definitely dry. Once I was back on for 2 days I’m back to fresh moisturized skin! Also my baby hairs have grown in so much more and I have new ones now!
