They say it takes 21 days to create a habit. They meaning all the gurus and authors of books on productivity. So while I do agree that creating healthy habits is important, for some it may take longer than 21 days others maybe even less. What I feel is the more important thing though is[…]

Happy Halloween! Your Instagram account is gone! It’s something you don’t think would ever happen to you. I never post anything that goes “against community guidelines”. But this morning, Instagram deleted or disabled my account for no apparent reason. I opened my account like I normally do to do a little scrolling and check to[…]
Are you someone who has no idea where to start when it comes to eating healthy? This 6 week transition to eating healthy will help. In some ways, changing your diet is similar to making a successful resolution in that it’s conceptual at first. Your long-range goal should just be to eat well. As your[…]
Its Saturday and time of another Blast from the past series! This is a series of blog posts that I’m moving over from a small family blog I had when I girls were younger. Today is called a budding entrepreneur. Its seemed fitting since Saturdays are our market day for The Scrunchie Sisters. The following[…]
I know, I know! I need another new project like I need a hole in my head. But when the pages of your planner look like the image below for multiple weeks in a row, it might be time to make a change. Don’t get me wrong though, I do love this planner and used[…]
Unless we’ve just met, you probably know I’ve been a part of the Beachbody (soon to be known as BODi) community since 2002. I can’t even begin to count the number of home workouts programs I’ve completed over the years. I haven’t been sharing publicly about any of the programs or my health/fitness journey lately because[…]
Growing up in a family of 8, there was a time during my childhood where my mom made our clothes. If my memory serves me right, it was from 1st grade until 5th grade. Our house burned down when I was in 6th grade so it wasn’t until 8th and 9th grade that homemade clothes[…]
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve preached about how planning out your day leads to having a more productive day. But what happens when you don’t follow your schedule? Well, what happens is you end up writing a blog post at 10pm when you should be going to bed! Sure, I could put[…]
Why is it so hard sometimes to stay committed to do what you said you were going to do and exhibit self-control? We often have the best laid plans yet we just don’t do it. The problem may lie in that whatever it is you said you were going to do isn’t that important to[…]
I’ve been feeling a little out of control when it comes to my eating habits. In my experience, this usually means that I need to do a little bit of detox. But rather than follow one of our very regimented detox plans like when we did this 21 day one or our 3 day one,[…]
Today is day 30 of my 100 days of blogging and its also Saturday. This means is market day for The Scrunchie Sisters. Needless to say, its been a busy day and I’m not feeling especially creative right now. I’d didn’t get a blog post planned out for today earlier this week, so in these[…]
I have loved every season of being a mom. I feel incredibly blessed that I’ve been able to be at home with them for their entire childhood. And while being a first time mom comes with a whole slew of challenges and adjustments, I feel like being a mom of teenagers is a whole new[…]
Well, I guess it’s time to share some news. This past weekend I learned that the company I’ve been a loyal customer of since 2002 and partnered with for my online wellness business for 14 years, is re-branding. In 2023, Beachbody is dropping the Beach in Beachbody and will becoming just BODi. The reason for[…]
Before this year, I’ve never been one to make pasta sauce from scratch. I thought it would take a lot of extra effort, a ton of different ingredients and hours simmering on the stove. But when I tried this homemade lasagne recipe and realized how much yummier homemade pasta sauce tastes…I’ve been making it from[…]
The company whose workouts I’ve been doing since 2002, and who I partnered with in 2008 to build a side hustle, is changing their name. The announcement came a couple days ago and I’d be lying if I said I was jumping up and down excited about it. Your girl isn’t a huge fan of[…]
