Fitness Friday #8 | Meditation


This has seriously been thee longest week ever!! Maybe its because we lost an hour but whatever the reason, Thank God its Friday!!

On Sunday I happen to stumble across Oprah's website and saw that she and Deepak Chopra are having a 21 day Meditation challenege focusing on Perfect Health.  The challenge started on Monday and with each day you get a centering thought of the day and a Sanskrit mantra.

Its only day 5 of the challenge so you still have time to sign up (its FREE!) and start centering your thoughts and life on becoming a healthier. Each meditation session is 16 mins long, which im sure everyone has 16mins to spare and at the end you'll have a different outlook on things going on in your life. 




You can click on the picture if your interested, I hope you guys try it out! If you do let me know what you think :)

Hugs and Love :)

Spring


I dont know about you guys, but this past weekend finally put me in the mood for spring! You know those days where you just want to be outside all day and walk your dog or hold someones hand lol? Thats how this weekend felt. The weather was amazing and it def made me want to put away all my winter clothes because I am so over the cold weather!

Below I created a pre-spring look centered around mint jeans thats perfect for us anxious people who are ready for the official day of spring to come but still have to deal with somewhat cold weather. Hope you like :)




Whats in your closet for spring?


Hugs and Love :)

Fitness friday #7 | Homemade granola

Hey guys! Im back with another fitness friday post because I was clearly slipping in February and I thought that this would be a cool recipe to share and easy to make for everyone. Since I dont really like eating greek yogurt without granola and my Trader Joes was out of the kind that I liked I decided to make some.

Its super easy, the ingredients are affordable and it takes about 15-20min (depending on the amount your making) to bake.  Heres what you need:

1. 1 to 1 1/2 cup Rolled oats - I got mine from target but any brand works
2. Nuts whole or sliced
3. 1/4 cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
4. 1/4 to 1/2 cup Maple Syrup (depending on amount of mixture)
5. Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl mix together dry ingredients (ie: oats, nuts and fruit.) Slowly add in the coconut oil and maple syrup making sure the mixture is coated. Add cinnamon on top and stir in.  Pour the mixture on to a cookie sheet and bake for 15- 20 mins. Let cool for 1 minute. Then enjoy your granola in whatever you want to add it in :)


I added dried cranberries and some vanilla extract at the last minute to my granola mix.



Yummy in my tummy!! lol Try it out and let me know what you think!! What ingredients would you add to your granola mix?

Hugs and Love :)
