Chia Seed Pudding with Mango and Blueberry
I am so not a morning person. I really, really, really want to be, but it does not appear that is in my character to be my best self in the wee hours of the morning. I need time in the morning to wake up, even after I have been out of bed for awhile. I like my days to start slowly. Which is kind of funny because I live in a house of early risers that are ready to go the moment their eyes open. I like to head downstairs, watch a little Today show, and after about 20 minutes, I am okay to start the day. I am very lucky that my husband feeds the kids breakfast before he heads to work, so I am only responsible for feeding myself. In my half-awake state it is highly unlikely that I would a.) make myself a breakfast that involved much effort and b.) do dishes.

Rosehip Oil - The Anti-Aging Oil
If you are like me then you probably have never heard of rosehips! Apparently roses have hips... well sort of. Rosehips are the fruit of rose bushes. That's right, roses have fruit! Who knew? These grow just below the actual flower part of roses and are harvested after the rose petals have all fallen off. Rosehip oil is oil that is made from rosehips specifically rosehip seeds.
Rosehip oil can be found in many anti-aging products and usually those products come with an expensive price tag! However, rosehip oil is pretty amazing by itself and it's quite affordable if bought on its own!

The Upper Body Workout for Women
To guys, the muscles that are most important to work are the biceps, pecs, lats, and traps. After all, these are the muscles that can change a mans look dramatically. But what about women? The vast majority of women don’t want to have massive, bulging biceps or look like they’re the incredible hulk. They want to look slimmer, longer, and more toned. In one word: sexy.
The good news for women is that doing upper body exercises won’t make them bulky. It won’t make them look like a guy, and it certainly won’t make them muscle-bound or less flexible. The exercises which make men big won’t have the same effect on women. Why is this, you wonder? Put simply; they can’t.

4 Exercises To Tone Your Butt
“Bottoms Up” and I don’t mean with a drink. I mean try these great exercises to lift and firm your butt. A busy life can often derail your fitness plan. But even doing a few exercises when you have time can help you feel stronger and feel better in your clothes. I am a fan of resistance bands because they are easy to use at home, the office, or on the road. I’m a frequent flyer, so I stick a few in my suitcase and can use them right in my hotel room. Bands offer the same benefits of other resistance equipment without being big and heavy. If you use proper form and a challenging level of tension, your muscle fibers won’t know the difference between weights or bands. Even better, bands can offer more muscle recruitment because you can use multiple muscle groups at once.

Healthy Oat Smoothies ~ Blueberry Muffin & Peach Cobbler Flavors
Most days she will drink a smoothie, so I had the idea of sneaking in some oats, since that seems a more fitting breakfast than cheese popcorn. And you know what? She fell for it liked it! And actually, so did my older kiddos…and so did I! The oats made the smoothie thick and silky and definitely more filling, and I also thought they lent an undertone like some type of baked good was ground up in there. So I decided to experiment a bit and see if I could expand upon those flavors even more!
It was as simple as adding a smidge of pure vanilla extract and a sprinkle of cinnamon to make a blueberry oatmeal smoothie taste like a Blueberry Muffin Smoothie! And since I like my peach cobbler extra-cinnamon-y, I upped the cinnamon a bit more for the Peach Cobbler Smoothie variation. I am telling, y’all…it’s hard to believe that smoothies can taste like baked treats but these honestly do!
