It’s Flex Friday & I won’t miss an opportunity to flex in the mirror for a selfie 😉 I see a lot of fitness accounts who talk about the negative comments they get for their workout selfies, but I kind of love them. I find genuine motivation in seeing workout selfies from others because they’re real! What is your opinion??

Tip of the Day: Make fresh
flowers a must include with every grocery shopping trip! A Harvard medical
school study revealed that that people feel more compassionate, have
less worry and feel less depressed when fresh-cut flowers are present in
the home! These alstroemerias are great to keep in the home because
they last a good length of time & are reasonably priced. Trader Joes
has great prices on flowers. (Plus, it makes it a one stop shop for
Anthony to bring me home groceries & blooms hehe). 

My fresh flower preservation tip – change the water daily, cutting the stems at a 45 degree angle, and adding in the “flower food” provided with the flowers; when flowers are looking a little droopy, add a few drops of vodka to the water to perk them up a bit. The vodka inhibits ethylene gas production in the flowers, which is the cause of ripening and maturation.

Read this article for more on how simply having fresh-cut flowers in your home can 1) increase your kindness towards other 2) lower your anxiety and 3) promote positivity and happiness

    Love the workout selfies! I find them very motivational too, so keep them coming!! 🙂 I still don't post my own haha. I guess I should. Even just for progress checks!

      You totally should! It's awkward and uncomfortable at first. It took me awhile to build up the courage to post them, but the benefits (accountability & progress measurement) are worth it!
