I found this fascinating about Gluten Free vs Sourdough bread. Makes sense why many people can be ”gluten sensitive” but can eat Sourdough. You can find the post on Instagram

Inspired to share my no filter skin:
😬 Age 23 vs. Age 32…
I’ve learned how to take care of my skin, which gave me clearer, more radiant skin and allows me to use less makeup! I made the switch to non-toxic products 6 years ago and learned how to take care of my insides too! I love that working on my inner health means less inflammation & bloating all over! It’s been an amazing journey to learning how to live 🤍

{healthy} can mean simple!

I love helping others who need to start creating healthy habits, that they can easily incorporate into their lifestyle!

My verse for the year ☀️🤍 If you have a verse or word for 2023, share it here!

“Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭143‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Is it for you? It was for me and here’s why:

My Health Journey

‼️ 2010-2011: I had the shingles, my gallbladder removed, & a breast lump biopsy…
‼️2014-2016: Tried every diet & workout plan that would help me stay on track to “lose baby weight” from two pregnancies, but ALWAYS failed to stay consistent and would quit.
‼️ 2017: I had a major health scare (stroke like symptoms at age 27 from a possible TIA)…
🙅‍♀️From that point on I decided that ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH! My family deserved a healthy wife and mom.
🚫 It was no longer about dieting & weight loss or over indulgence & not caring about what I put in my body!
🤔 Skeptical, I decided to give the Arbonne 30 Days to Healthy Living nutrition program a chance. I didn’t follow it perfectly, but what happened in those 4 weeks was LIFE CHANGING.
💚 I learnedabout how to fuel my body, I saw a decrease inflammation and bloating, increase in energy, better sleep, clearer skin, more confidence, better mindset, and I saw my body shift back to healthy. It was PROGRESS towards a life of healthy living that I never knew I needed. It wasn’t strict. It was about progress OVER perfection!
🎉 2022: Now I know what serves my body and I make choices based on knowledge that I learned almost 5 years ago in our 30 Days to Healthy Living Support Group! I’m using clean recipes that they gave me and trying new ones with healthier ingredient swaps!
🥰 You might see yourself in my story. If so, there is hope for a healthier you. The happier you. We’re in this together! Our next group starts with the New Year and there is room for you to join us ❤️

{happy} that I’ve found a way to be surrounded by motivated, hardworking women in work and life! Shout out to the best of the best and the team at ❤️👏 We are embarking on some EXCITING things in 2023 - so local ladies, be sure to watch for what’s coming to Greer in January!

I’m so grateful for the work I do now! A few years ago, I felt stuck in a vicious cycle of the “working mom” life where I’d be rushing to drop my kids off at childcare, missing PTO for doctors appointment, missing out on fun school events and so much more. I prayed and prayed for something to change. God knew all along that once I let go of trying to control my future, that his plan would be the best. He also knew that I needed those experiences to appreciate what I have now and have them as stepping stones.

Flash forward… I’m a work from home/anywhere entrepreneur, business owner, and consultant that is able to create my schedule to be more present with my family and also do life with other women who know how to work hard and support each other!
•
I have no idea what the rest of my life will look like, but I’ve learned that as long as I focus on God as my priority, the rest will follow and I’ll be able to live out to the fullest!

{healthy} holidays can be FUN!!!
A few simple swaps to make gluten free sugar cookies and choosing organic ingredients where you can is all it takes!

I feel on top of the 🌎 and like a Christmas 👸🏼🎄right now 😂 so let me have it!

I’m beyond thankful that you allow me to be your “Arbonne Girl” 🤍 It means that you trust me to help you find ways to live a healthier life and feel confident in your skin! It’s been such a journey the last 5 years drinking my fizz, talking about using non-toxic products, & educating everyone about gut and I’ll be doing this until I’m called to heaven, so you can always count on me! 😘
