Nat and I are still pinching ourselves. Two weeks ago we hosted the Here For Her Sip and Social; an event for our local podcast listeners who were looking for an inspiring and relaxing ‘girls night out’.
Let’s be honest, most of us aren’t getting the eight hours of sleep our doctors tells us to get each night. And even when we ARE getting eight hours…it may not be restful. As a society, we focus a lot of our attention as it relates to health on diet and exercise, but we often forget to count sleep as one of the most important aspects of our overall wellness.
Every single time I get together with a girlfriend and ask ‘how are you?!’ the first thing that typically comes out of her mouth is ‘I’m good. Busy. But good!’ I also say this far too often, but the truth is…we are all BUSY! We’re all trying to fit a thousand things into a 24 hour period, and the rat race of the day can make it super challenging to take care of ourselves and eat well. Sometimes I’ll be heading out to a meeting, starving, but completely forgot to meal prep and well…enter the drive-thru window. It’s always a bad idea, I always feel gross after making poor meal decisions, but yet, so many of us do this.
I‘ve been getting many questions lately on Instagram about my lipstick…and for those who are always trying to find the perfect shades, let me tell you; I’m right there with you! I find it tricky to find the ideal colour, scent (because lipstick scent totally matters), and gloss factor (I’m not a huge glossy lipstick person).
I‘ve been making these banana pops for roughly two months now, and the girls LOVE them! They are full of potassium and antioxidants, but they truly do taste like a treat (I love them too)! Don’t worry mamas’ – these are super easy to make and I can usually whip up a batch in about 15 minutes! You can switch up the toppings depending on your flavour preference; we always use a variety of toppings like coconut flakes, chopped peanuts, peanut butter, skor pieces, sprinkles, and more!
