Healthy Coffee Creamer Alternative

February 8, 2020

Okay y’all. If you didn’t know I started at Burn Boot Camp and I am absolutely loving the way I feel! I am eating better than I ever have before and am so much more aware of what is going into my body. I want to share with you a healthy coffee creamer alternative that I actually LOVE!

One of my goals this past week was to get rid of coffee creamer. Well to me I’d rather just give up the coffee, because what’s coffee without creamer right?! Wrong! So, I did make it all week without coffee because I just didn’t have the time to figure out a healthy alternative, I have to leave the house at 5:30am and to me it was just easier to skip it. I knew when the weekend rolled around I would have a problem because I love sitting and enjoying my coffee without rushing out the door. So I finally had time to take Allison’s advice (the owner of Burn Myrtle Beach.)

Healthy Coffee Creamer

If you’re looking for a healthy alternative for your coffee creamer I got it for you! Use Califia Farms Coconut Almond-milk that I got at Target add a splash of cinnamon, and use a handheld healthy creamer to start your day!

Enjoy!

Rainbow Light | Vitamins For Your Preteen!

October 30, 2018

This post has been sponsored by Rainbow Light, all opinions are my own.

I try desperately to feed my kids delicious, healthy, well balanced meals that will provide them all the nutrients they need. But, let’s be real, getting them to eat what I make is another blog post in itself.

Rainbow Light

I like knowing I can give them a food-based multi vitamin that not only meets the nutrient demands of rapid growth, but supports clear skin too.

My oldest daughter is such a picky eater so Rainbow Light vitamins are great for her. She does not like to eat veggies, and these vitamins contain vital and immune-boosting nutrients needed by growing pre-teens and teens. (Active Health Teen, Vitamin C & D)

During the teen/preteen stage which is a key growth stage, dietary supplements can help build bones and tissues, maintain healthy moods and brain function, and reduce the risk of health problems now and much later in life. Finding a vitamin that is perfect for your teen is so worth the effort if you think your child’s diet could use a boost.

Teens and Preteen Vitamins

Teens and preteens are known to skip meals and survive on processed food. While you cannot really keep out junk food from a their diet completely, you could certainly add nutrition to it.

Why do teens need a vitamin of their own? Remember puberty? Yeah, that’s why.

The nutritional requirements of teens are quite different from that of a younger child or fully-grown adult. A teenager’s body is changing in so many ways, with a number of hormones working their way through puberty and growth. This is the time to focus on the changes their body is going through and to ensure that nutritional deficiencies are met.

Rainbow Light offers complete multivitamins for men, women, teens, and children that are specially formulated for the individual nutritional needs of each.

From prenatal vitamins to menopause formulas, all Rainbow Light supplements are 100% natural and are gentle on the stomach. Rainbow Light is recognized as the #1 most trusted natural vitamin brand!

With the help of Rainbow Light and their daily vitamins, I know my girls, husband and I will be getting all the nutrients we need! Not only will we be more energized, but we will be ready to face flu season with no worries!

Relief made easy with MiraLAX®

August 17, 2018

I received compensation from Bayer Consumer Health, makers of MiraLAX® to write this post. MiraLAX® is a laxative used to treat occasional constipation. All opinions are entirely my own. #ReliefMadeEasy #CollectiveBias

Being a working mom of two, I need to make sure I am not suffering from occasional constipation. Who has time for occasional constipation amongst everything else in life? Certainly not me. Yup, I’m just going to cross over into TMI territory, and talk about poop.

Occasional Constipation

Occasional constipation can stop you from being productive, make you fatigued and really ruin your day, and if you suffer from it regularly, it can have a real impact on your work and happiness.

Even though occasional constipation is a fairly common condition that plagues almost every individual at some point in their life, it is very discomforting. Thankfully MiraLAX® is a gentle product for occasional use. I purchased mine at CVS and you can save now with this coupon!

Relax with MiraLAX®

MiraLAX® works with your body’s natural process to provide effective relief from occasional constipation. Because it works with the water in your body, MiraLAX® provides a gentle experience, and doesn’t cause harsh side effects.

MiraLAX® is different from stimulant laxatives. Stimulant laxative pills make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon. MiraLAX® works with the water in your body to hydrate, soften, and ease, unblocking your system naturally.

How To Use MiraLAX®?

I usually pour the recommended dose into a cup of tea and drink it down. Easy Peasy. Easy to take, easy on your body. MiraLAX® comes in powder form with no taste and odor.

Mix the powder into 4 to 8 ounces of hot or cold beverages like juice, coffee, tea, water, soda or smoothies. Stir the mixture well and drink it right away.
