Early Bird Gets the Worm!
“Life is about getting up an hour early, to live an hour more”- Unknown Girl, I get it. The idea of waking up even a few minutes early isn’t really that exciting. We are tired, exhausted even. I’m here to tell you though, you’ll lay your head down a lot more satisfied each night, if you’ve started your day by moving your body. There are a lot of ideas about exercise and what time of day is best to do it. The truth is, any time of day is better than no time of day, BUT there is a A LOT to be said for making it happen, early in…
The Facial That Changed Everything
I’m just a girl, standing in front of my mirror, asking her skin to look a lot less tired mom, and a lot more Gwyneth Paltrow. I have a draw full of products for every square inch of my face. I am OBSESSED with skin care and I love to try new things. About six months ago, I came across a skin care line that caught my eye with it’s ultra colorful and pretty packaging. Ladies, I know I’m not alone here, but I definitely pick my wine based on the labels, so it’s no surprise that this product stuck out. I was looking for something I could use once…
Be Grateful for Sh*t Sandwiches!
I’ve come to really enjoy using the expression “Sh*t Sandwich” to describe a situation that just really feels like a raw deal. Sometimes it seems like pure bad luck, or it’s a series of “WTF” kind of events, that lead me to wonder who I’ve ticked off upstairs to keep getting served up a piping hot, figurative sandwich, that really made me feel like throwing in the towel. Lucky for me, I grew up learning to be tenacious, shown the silver linings, and why it’s important to not give up. Depending on how one would look at it, I was either lucky or unlucky to learn these things through life…
Friendship is my first Obsession
This particular post was really hard for me to decide on. When I love something, I LOOOVE it. I’m obsessed with it. Not in a crazy, needs a support group kind of way, but it almost becomes part of my identity. And, you’ll know about it. My obsessions cover pretty much every base there is…and I will talk about them all in time! For my first ever Obsessions post, I went back and forth for a ridiculously long time about what you may want to know about first. There were some really obvious ideas such as my favorite leggings, my go-to skin care, must have closet items, decorating or kitchen…
The Start of it ALL…
When I was pregnant with my first kiddo, Eddie (now almost 6) I had endured a great amount of stress during my pregnancy. Within my first trimester, I lost my mother. During my second trimester, I lost my mother in law. I took on a new job and also put together our new home we just moved into. As it turns out, stress does NOT go well with my body and soon after Eddie was born, all hell broke loose. I experienced a severe form of Postpartum Thyroditis. It started with insomnia, which became out of control. I’m talking days with only an hour or two of sleep, with my…
Trust Your Gut. That B*tch Knows What’s Up!
Holy Fit Girl believes that food is our medicine, and our medicine should be our food. It took me a long time to get to the place of respecting my body in such a way that I pay attention to what’s going in it. It takes time, it takes effort, but getting to a healthy place is literally just one step at a time! Fortunately, or unfortunately for me (however you’d like to look at it) because of my autoimmune diseases, Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism and Celiacs Disease, I truly have no choice BUT to eat well and clean. Both of these things are fairly recent diagnosis so I’m by no means…
