These are the things I do...your body is different & your needs will differ from mine. Always listen to your body & do what is best for you.
*Love yourself right where you are & talk to yourself positively
*Drink half your body weight in ounces of pure water a day with minerals added if your water doesn't have them (one piece of celtic salt on or under your tongue, let it dissolve, & then drink your water is a great way to get minerals). Sometimes I will also add fresh lemon. I drink water as soon as I wake up, and don't drink with my food... I don't drink water at least 30 minutes before I eat, & wait an hour to an hour and a half at least after I eat...helps hugely with digestion, & nutrient absorption. It's easier than you think once you start doing it...stay hydrated...it's one of the most important things you will do for your body.
*Get enough good healthy sources of fiber, protein, and healthy fats for your body when you eat...I personally try for 20-30 grams of fiber & try to eat my fiber first when possible, 80-100 grams of protein, and healthy fats when I eat. Without enough good protein, your body cannot build & maintain muscle. Getting enough healthy protein, fiber, & healthy fats are a huge thing and will keep you fuller longer...it basically becomes almost impossible to overeat. I eat twice a day, usually 12-1 P.M. and 4-5 P.M. Healthy fats such as... avocado, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, MCT oil, nuts, & seeds.
*Find your favorite exercises you can be consistent with...mine are... walking, rebounder, yoga (this one I love to do right before I go to bed), Betty Rocker 90 day, dancing, Svelte Training (search on youtube), vibration plate or vibration plate. I have done many different exercises through the years...the key is consistency, and finding something you love.
*Exercise smart...do you know what I mean by this? I mean not being excessive & overdoing which puts your body in a stress mode & can lead to weight gain and/or injuries. Plus, you want to do exercises you get excited about & can be consistent with, consistency is the key. Exercising smart is one of the best things you can do for yourself along with learning to listen to what your body needs...Adjust exercises as needed....LISTEN TO YOUR BODY...Compare yourself to only yourself. Love yourself right where you are. You can do anything you decide you want to do. Currently, I walk 4 miles a day. If you can walk at least a mile after eating or 15-20 minutes, it helps to make sure your blood sugar stays balanced. I currently walk 2 miles in the morning before eating while I'm in a fasting state, and 2 miles each after eating.
Benefits of smart exercise...

If you struggle with drinking sugary drinks, try out my favorite Olipops...my favorite root beer, orange, & peach....instead of soda/pop, these are great alternatives for your kids. There are many different flavors to choose from.
I get my hair trimmed every three months. I rarely use a blow dryer or any heat on my hair. The curls in this picture were done by no heat curls. I do a deep hair treatment after I wash my hair, not purposely putting shampoo anywhere but where my scalp is as to not dry my hair out. So I first wash my hair, then add the hair treatment with my conditioner massaging into my scalp and making sure it's covering all my hair. I leave this on for 5 minutes and rinse it, then shampoo again so my scalp isn't greasy. Once a month I do a deeper longer treatment with peppermint & rosemary essential oils. I like to do castor oil on my scalp as it helps hair growth. On the rest of my hair I change the oils up & will do a little castor oil mixed with either argan, amla, grapeseed, black seed, or marula.

This is me at 45, with my 1st grandchild. It took me awhile years ago to find a makeup that I would use. I don't wear a lot, but I refuse to use the junky chemical products that I believe shouldn't even be sold much less used. Click here to see the company that I trust...they have more than just makeup...they have nontoxic nail polish, body products, hair, face, etc. I love this company.... For natural skin care I also love these products & these products. Get the Yuka app to scan & check your products & food & drinks.

This is what I use for our handsoap...I just get the reusable foam pumps and do about 3/4 purified water and 1/4 Castile Soap... optional to add some drops of essential oils... You can also order Dr. Bronners straight from their site.

Here is what I am currently using on my face... In the morning, I use castor oil on my face & neck, then do my face tools. At night, I use safflower or rosehip carrier oil as my oil cleanse massaging it on my face & neck, put a hot wash cloth over my face until it cools down and then clean my face. Sometimes I will use my peppermint sugar soap on my face in the shower. Next I use a vitamin C night moisturizer. I also use the castor oil roller and roll it all around my eyes & on my eyelashes. Castor oil is safe for eyes, and in fact is used dry eyes, eye infections, cataracts, strengthens & helps hair grow including eyelashes & eyebrows, dark circles & under eye wrinkles.
If you are still using the toxic deodorants/anti-perspirants, please look here for some of the best natural you can get. I also spray magnesium oil on my armpits & stomach right before I go to sleep. This not only makes you not stink but increases your magnesium levels.
