Spring reset with @raw_generation_juices 🍊🥕🍏

Now is the perfect time for a juice cleanse to feel lighter and have more energy! I’m currently on day 2 of my 5 day juice cleanse with Raw Generation. I love that this cleanse includes cold pressed juices and plant-based smoothies. I’m a busy homeschool mom of two so having the protein smoothies really gives me that boost of energy that I need. Initially, I thought I would get hungry through out the day, but I haven’t! I drink 3 cold-pressed juices and 3 plant-based smoothies per day. So far I’ve lost a couple pounds but most importantly, my body feels refreshed! 

Summer is right around the corner so check out Raw Generation! There are a couple options to choose from the Skinny Clean, Low Sugar* Detox, and the Protein Cleanse. I’ve linked on my @shop.ltk

The weather has been beautiful so that means more family adventures visiting new parks, tennis courts, and nature trails! The Ninja FrostVault Cooler has been a game changer for our outdoor trips! My kids are always asking for snacks and drinks during family outings. The top of the cooler stores cold beverages on ice and there’s a separate bottom compartment perfect for snacks, fruits, and sandwiches. I also love that this cooler has wheels making it so easy to move around!

We extended our spring break with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge! At the last minute we decided to surprise the kids with a quick trip to their favorite indoor/outdoor water park. Seeing the kids smiles and laughs is my favorite. A highlight of our trip is being able to all get on the big water slide together. God blessed me with the sweetest kids and the best husband. I cherish these family trips so much.

Tips for Staying Healthy During the Holidays

woman sitting and relaxing focusing on staying healthy


This post is sponsored by Nature’s Bounty ® . All thoughts and opinions are my own. Always talk with your doctor before adding any supplements to see if they are right for you!
The holiday season is full of fun and festivities and staying healthy during the holidays is top priority! I love celebrating during this season with good food, sweet treats, lots of shopping, and quality time with family and friends! The holidays can be so busy that we forget to make our health a top priority. Staying healthy during the holidays is very important. Here are my top 6 tips for staying healthy during the holiday season.

1. Drink Plenty of Water

It’s important to stay hydrated during the cooler winter months. I typically have a bottle of water when I first wake up. Then I use my water tracker app on my phone to remind me to drink water throughout the day. Staying hydrated is essential to keeping your body healthy. Drinking water also flushes out toxins from your body.

2. Manage Stress

Of course the holidays are filled with a lot of fun and festivities, but they can be very stressful! Thankfully, taking Stress Comfort: Fast Acting Calm supplement by Nature’s Bounty ® can quickly soothe your mind when occasionally stressed.* The watermelon chewable Coolmelts™ are delicious and 100% drug free! I love that this supplement is also non-GMO, gluten-free, has no sugar and no artificial flavors. Another way I manage stress is by being intentional with my time and I try not to take on too much during the holidays.

3. Make Time for Exercise

It’s easy to neglect physical activity during the holidays because it’s cold outside and you have several other things on your to-do list. Nonetheless, daily exercise is crucial to good health. I like to do light exercise like yoga and going for a quick walk around my neighborhood. On other days when my schedule is busy, I borrow some of my husband’s fitness tools like his jump ropes so I can easily fit in a workout at home. Exercise truly gives me the boost I need for the day!

4. Morning Routine

I speak about the importance of a good morning routine often. Check out my blog post on 10 Morning Routine Habits. Your morning routine sets the tone for the rest of your day. I like waking up early before my kids so I can have quiet time. Having quiet time is important to stay mentally healthy. I would suggest creating a morning routine that consists of waking up early, having a healthy breakfast, and journaling. I also keep my Nature’s Bounty® Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies next to my coffee mugs so I remember to take them every morning. These scrumptious raspberry pomegranate flavored gummies don’t have a strong vinegar taste so I can enjoy the benefits of the ACV gummies without the dreaded taste of liquid apple cider vinegar! I love that the ACV is made with vinegar that contains the Mother and sourced from U.S. grown apples, plus they have Vitamin B-12 to support my energy metabolism by converting my food into energy.*

5. Night Time Routine

Getting enough sleep is so important. Sometimes I consider myself a night owl because after my kids go to sleep I tend to stay up really late watching TV and/or doing business tasks. After some time, I realized that not getting enough sleep is not good for my health and I had to establish a good nighttime routine. At a predetermined time each night, I turn my phone off and relax in my bed until I go to sleep.

6. Self-Care

We have to make ourselves a top priority especially during the holiday season. There are a lot of different forms of self-care such as spiritual, mental, and physical self-care. Recently, I realized it would be important to look into supplements that help support my hair, skin and nails! I love that Nature’s Bounty ® Advanced Hair Skin & Nails supplements are gummies because they’re easy to take as a part of my nighttime self-care routine. Taking care of your body with proper rest, hydration and nutrition can help you to look and feel healthier and beautiful. Supplements specially formulated for Hair, Skin, and Nails can help fill any nutritional gaps in my diet to support beautiful hair, glowing skin, and healthy nails.*


Staying healthy during the holidays should be a top priority. Adding the Nature’s Bounty ® supplements into my daily routine has been so helpful to my health. All the Nature’s Bounty ® supplements are available at Publix and during the 12/18-12/31 Extra Savings promotion you can save $3! *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
