Yes, you CAN afford to eat healthy
So many people tell me that the biggest reason they aren’t eating healthy is because they can’t afford to. I am here to set the record straight: Yes, you CAN afford to eat healthy. Chances are, you just choose not to. Eating healthy is a choice, and here’s some healthy foods that are within your budget. Tip: Create a meal plan. When I first got married, my husband created a grocery shopping rule: I could only buy what’s on the grocery list that I had already created. This led me to create better meal plans! A big way to save money is to create a detailed meal plan. Just add any items you need to your grocery list. Do this well in advance, and never plan on an empty stomach. By doing this, it has been a huge way...

I want to be Deprived of…
A lot of people wonder why I am even trying to be healthier. People will actually wonder why I am making a conscious effort to change some bad eating habits of mine. Hey, I am not perfect with my eating and exercising habits. I am not claiming to be perfect, but I DO want to try my hardest to improve my overall Health. My question to those who question my motives is “Why not?” There really isn’t anything to lose by improving your health, except for maybe a couple of things you just don’t want anyways. “Living a healthy lifestyle will only deprive you of poor health, lethargy, and fat.” -Jill Johnson I want to be deprived of Poor Health, Lethargy, and excess Fat!

Sorbet Bar-Organic Blackberry by Julie’s Organic
This sorbet bar is absolutely amazing, and I have nothing but good to say about this frozen dessert! First of all, it tastes great. And not only does it taste great, but it has great a great texture (almost like a fruit smoothie, but thicker since it is a sorbet bar). I bought this Sorbet Bar for an event, and people were shocked that this was not only Organic, but actually Healthy! For some reason people have this horrible misconception that Healthy Food has to taste bad. This is another reason why I started this Blog. I want to raise awareness to others to let them know about great tasting products that are actually good for you (or at least better than the competitor!). The best part about this treat, is that it is pretty much guilt free. It...

Organic Flax Plus Maple Pecan Crunch by Nature’s Path
This cereal has wonderful ingredients to truly benefit from, such as rolled oats, wheat bran, pecans, flax, brown rice flour, sea salt, cinnamon…you name it! As many of my readers know, I am a huge fan of Organic products. I know and appreciate the nutritional value of Organic products, and this is a certified USDA Organic cereal. What is this cereal missing? Well, it does NOT include things like Trans Fat (which are formed when liquid oils are made into solid fats…not so good), it has Zero Cholesterol, and if you are a Vegetarian…you are in luck! This cereal doesn’t have any ingredients that come from meat, such as fish, fowl, or eggs, which you can thank the wonderful founders for, since it agrees with their personal beliefs and lifestyle. So this cereal has a lot of healthy...

Organic Lip Balm by Dr. Bronner’s
Throw away your Chapstick, because I am going to introduce to you a new way to keep your lips hydrated and healthy. Is Chapstick bad for you? Chapstick, Smackers, SoftLips, Vaseline, Carmex, and other popular brands out there are actually something you may just want to avoid. Why? They contain Mineral Oil and Petroleum, which actually dries up your lips rather than helping them. If Chapstick causes addiction, it would be better for you to avoid it rather than keep using it. Alternative What I love about Organic Lip Balm by Dr. Bronner’s, is that is actually helps heal your lips, without causing an addiction, or a constant need to keep using it over and over again. If my lips ever feel chapped, I can use this Lip Balm a couple of times, and then that’s it. I can...

Health Benefits of Pears
Pears are not only a delicious snack, but also very healthy and beneficial for your body. Nutritional and Health Benefits Pears have a wonderful cooling effect to them. If you should have a fever, having a pear may be helpful in reducing your fever. Some say to drink pear juice, but I personally try to stay away from fruit juices unless you make them yourself. Otherwise, fruit juices you buy tend to be very high in sugar- sometimes even more than soda. Pears are an excellent source of fiber. The fiber in pears may help regulate bowel movements. Pears are full of Vitamin C and Copper, making Pears very antioxidant rich, which helps with the immune system. Pears are high in Vitamin B and Potassium. This is great because it is healthy for your heart and has beneficial effects on...
