Challenge: Sore Muscles
One of my goals for 2012 is to exercise regularly and work towards a lifetime of fitness. Working out has been a great stress relief, but the sore muscles, not so much. Just getting out of bed is a task. However, I have some remedies for anyone that needs post-workout relief.



Action: Finding relief
After each workout, complete your cool down and stretch. Seems pretty simple, (because it is).

Stretch your body




Take a bubble bath and relax.
Take a bubble bath with Epsom salt (Wine is optional)

Drink tea made to help the body heal.
Drink Yogi Green Tea Muscle Recovery
I keep Icy Hot in my cabinet at all times.
Put on before you go to bed. It will help soothe your muscles.

Until next time,

Here’s to always being your B.E.S.T!

My three ingredients for yummy queso: (Don’t forget the milk or condensed milk)

Have fun today. If you are are football fan, don’t take the game too seriously. Both teams get paid regardless of who wins.

Even without permission, some people feel entitled to be a critic. Sometimes people try to place doubt in your mind, play down your success, or tell you what you can’t do.

If your always trying to appease the masses, you will never focus on what makes you happy. It’s okay to offer advice, wisdom, or knowledge. However, to be condescending towards ones success or achievement is unflattering.

If people are worried about what you’re doing, then you must be doing something right. Those who do not appreciate the success of others, may never experience success of their own.

My world consists of friends that are encouraging, caring, and reliable. There will always critics out there, but that doesn’t mean they have to be your friends. Keep striving to do your best and attract positive and progressive people in your life.

“May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.”

Turning over a new leaf to invite more optimism in life is always a good thing. Things I am optimistic about going into the month of February:

♥ longer workouts
♥ smaller to-do lists
♥ meaningful diary entries
♥ learning new dinner recipes
♥ New Balance running shoes 
♥ being more creative (more DIY projects, drawing, coloring, baking)

Until next time,

I have started adding feather earrings to my jewelry collection. Currently, I have peacock style, white, brown, and black. As I danced my weekend away, I couldn’t wait to wear my recent purchase. I got this pair from Cato.

Have a spa day everyday by taking care of your skin.

How: Buy a facial brush. I have a pink one and have noticed a dramatic difference in my skin.

Just dance

“Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.” -Buz Luhrmann

When presented with the opportunity to just let loose, be young, and carefree…count me in! I love to dance because, it is another great way to express yourself. There is no room for worry on the dance floor. This area is for laughs, smiles, and endless bliss. It is a time to appreciate the company you keep and enjoy one of life’s sweet treasures.

When words aren’t enough…just dance.

Until next time,

“When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine yourself.”
 -Confucious

Do you feel you are experiencing a series of unfortunate events?
Nothing ever goes right and the stars don’t align in your favor?

Ask yourself:

Is the glass half-full or half-empty? 
What are you grateful for?
Do you manage the company you keep?
What are your strengths?
What can you improve upon?

I am not a psychologist or truly understand the intrigue parts of the human brain. I am however a champion for positivity. Bad things do happen to good people and bad things happen to not so good people. If we truly can not control what happens to us…we can control how it will affect us.

Plan for a life of positivity, hope, and happiness and see how life pays you back.
