What Works (and What Doesn’t)

Todays Mini Workout

My knee is messed up so even with it wrapped I can’t do too much :(  But I’ve been doing a super simple daily work out (plank, side plank, superman hold and hollow hold) and today I added on to it, making it a full workout considering the modifications I had to make for my leg! 

This might be helpful to people trying to work out with a leg injury, it’s really easily modified!

I love trail mix! This mix uses homemade granola so you can avoid the finely processed and sugar-loaded commercial varieties. 

I use 3 tablespoons of sweetener in this recipe (honey and maple syrup- and kind of a lot) but feel free to adjust to your tastes/diet. The raisins also add a lot of sweetness so you might want less if you’re planning to include dried fruit!

I took this on my 30km hike and wasn’t hungry for a second 😻

Noodle is the cutest omg 😻😻 #yoga #yogaflow #yogacat #kitty #cat #handstand

I think this is so relevant. You are indeed, at least to a significant extent, what you eat. There is so much research to show what a great impact the right foods can have on mood, and how the right nutrition can help stabilize emotional imbalances.

Super simple recipe, 1 banana (cut and microwaved first), 65g egg whites, 1 serving protein powder, 10g oats and a pinch of baking soda mixed together and cooked with coconut oil! Stacked with strawberries+drizzled in PB! Delish!! Have a great day 💕

would you ask a person buying like, a laxative if they were feeling ok?

they’re 50/50 not feeling ok, you’re being compassionate, but they’re buying a health care item for something very private that they more than likely don’t want to talk about. 

most people don’t want to talk about what’s happening inside their pants with strangers. 

I've been thinking about it, and I'm pretty sure I disagree. It's not offensive or rude to say "Feeling okay?" To someone who 50/50 could not be feeling okay. And I don't think I should feel bad for being compassionate and I've always had people say thank you for asking. But I appreciate your input and I'm thankful for your opinion. 🐳🐙🍍

Ok if you want to ask a woman every time you see her buying personal hygiene products if she’s ok then go ahead, I don’t care. If you disagree, fine, I also don’t care. But you’re not a woman so I don’t see why you think you’re allowed to have an opinion on how this makes WOMEN feel. If you keep doing this you might get some thank you’s but eventually you’re going to across a woman who will tell you off or slap you for asking such a personal and invasive question. Honestly I don’t care if you’re coming from a good place if any man ever commented on me buying something for my period I’d tell him to fuck off. It doesn’t matter if you’re compassionate, it’s not your business to ask if someone is okay because they’re on their period out buying tampons or pads. It’s a fuckinggggg invasion of privacy regardless of where you’re coming from in intentions. I don’t see where you ever got the idea that you think it’s ok to ask a woman how she feels every time you see her buying personal products??? Literally no man I know would ever do this. If anything we just want to be left alone. I’m done talking about this with you and if you can’t understand why it’s not ok then go ahead and keep doing it but just wait until it pisses a woman off then good luck to you. And yes more than just myself finds it offensive, I talked to a girlfriend about this last night and her response was “what the fuck, don’t comment on my fucking purchases.” There ya have it.
