We all have those days when we feel a little less confident, a little less happy…the days when you spot every stretch mark on your body, every wrinkle on your face or when concealer won’t come to the rescue and cover those dark circles under your eyes. We all have those days. There isn’t a single woman in the world who hasn’t, at least once, felt a bit insecure about her looks. My secret to self love? Be thankful. Yes, there are some parts of my body that I love more and some parts that I love less. That’s normal. There will always be some things I’ll want to improve, to be skinnier and more toned, less wrinkles, but when I find myself focusing on all the things that I would like to change, I stop and refocus on everything I’m happy with. I am grateful for my health and my beauty/strong body that carried two beautiful babies. I let go of comparisons and learn to admire someone else’s beauty without questioning my own. I accept myself. Because every flaw I find, and imperfection I see makes me who I am. And what I truly am is unique, strong and beautiful. #theauthenticwoman @theauthenticwomanseries @ashton_m_long @itsalisongeorges
“Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat.” – Laura Ingalls Wilder Trying to live eco-friendly is a huge part of my life. I strive to reduce my impact on the environment every day, and I’m loving how the idea of “being green” is becoming a common and agreed upon lifestyle. Want to become more green? There are tons of simple ways to incorporate eco-friendliness into your life, without having to purchase a bunch of green products (although that’s awesome too and I’ll be sharing my favorite products soon) or completely change the way you live. Follow along and learn some “being green” tips. #simplybeachyblog
“You must choose to be happy, grateful, and fulfilled. If you make that choice every single day, regardless of where you are or what’s happening, you will be happy.” -Rachel Hollis, Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be
Mom life: Your little ones always look adorable. You? Permanent bed-head and no makeup! 🤣 ... and it is no big deal because you’re having the best time with your babies and looking skinny/fit! 🙌😉 #simplybeachyblog
Eat like you love your body. ~Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great! I love cooking. Especially, simple dishes that involve bright seasonal fruits and vegetables. I do most of the cooking around here and my husband, William is my #1 taste-tester (he does graciously fills in when momma needs a break.😉) We try to eliminate all processed food and fast food from our diet, but sometimes you can’t turn down Chick-fil-A spicy chicken sandwich. haha. I love to try new foods and create new recipes but I will always have a soft spot for avocado sweet potato toast and açaí bowls.😍 My favorite food is oysters, and Will’s is tacos (but then again… who doesn’t love tacos?) 😂😂😂 We recently started to try recipes from 100 Days of Real Food by Lisa Leake. This cookbook provides amazing resources for anyone on their healthy living journey, but especially for those just beginning to make the switch from more processed food. The recipes are simple and the book provides a good variety of dishes; vegetarian options, gluten-free options, crockpot options, and freezer friendly options. 🙌🙌🙌 Join me on the blog as I cook through 100 Days of Real food. I will share a few of my favorite recipes, you’ll a have to purchase the book to try the rest. Trust me it is worth it.😘 #simplybeachyblog
“The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it - basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.” - Charles Bukowski Wild + free. What does that actually mean? To me wild + free mean to live from a place of your inherent worth and value. It means owning your imperfections as much as your strengths as worthy and valuable parts of yourself. Happy Friday to all my wild + free followers! #simplybeachyblog
