Exercising at Home
Blogtober 19 is almost over! I can’t believe I have made it through and published a post every day (I am talking like I have already published tomorrow)! This is my first Blogtober so I am so excited to get this done successfully. I didn’t do this well each time I signed up for NaNoWriMo! So yay for progress? I have posted a few pieces about exercise this month but one of my favorite posts on exercise was published early this year on Life: The Reboot. It is a fun post about starting an exercise regimen at home. There are tips for how to set up your exercise space, some…
10 Fitness Tips
If you’re a newbie thinking of starting a fitness regime, use these 10 tips for beginners to make sure that you reach your goals. Make Your Workout Worth It If you want to get the most out of your workout, you need to remember that around 80% of the results that you get from your workout actually come from just 20% of your workout. That means that in an hour’s session, only 12 minutes of the workout will contribute to the bulk of your results. You need to make those minutes really count. Use compound movements that work for more than one muscle group at a time to really make…
Finding Meaning In Life Can Improve Your Happiness
“Do what makes you happy.” If you’ve ever felt unsatisfied with a job or any other personal or professional situation, you’ve probably heard that advice in the title until your ears bleed. However, this advice is not only not really helpful, but it’s also somewhat misguided. Context matters! Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness In today’s world, the pursuit of happiness is a deeply ingrained concept. We’re taught to expect our lives to be fairly happy, and we’re encouraged to do whatever it takes to achieve that. But, as with everything else in life, happiness isn’t so simple. What is happiness? First of all, happiness refers to what you…
Healthy Soups for This Fall
Soup is the ultimate food for cold weather. In fact, many soups are cream- or cheese-based and are a bit high in fat and calories. However, it is possible to make warm soups that fill you up but don’t contain a lot of fat, calories, or carbs. Consider some of these yummy healthy soups for the fall season. Tomato Soup With Grilled Cheese Croutons The first fall soup on this list is tomato soup. I know it sounds boring but instead of making full-size grilled cheese sandwiches, you can make little grilled-cheese croutons. That sounds like an idea that can travel to other dishes! For your soup, you can use…

A Product Service Review: Fabletics
This review contains only my own opinions. I am an affiliate so I may receive compensation if you purchase products through the link at no additional cost to you. I was not compensated for this post. As a regular walker and occasional yogi, I wear a lot of leggings! Lots of leggings! My son says I don’t exercise enough for these outfits! 😊 I started wearing them almost exclusively when my kidney started failing sometime in 2014. I didn’t have a lot of energy, so leggings were easy to wear. When I had the dialysis catheter implanted into my abdomen in September 2015, the leggings were a blessing! Even now,…
My Favorite Horror (Scary) Movies
During Blogtober, I have seen several posts other bloggers have written about their favorite Halloween movies. While reading those posts, I realized that I hadn’t seen many of those movies – but I have seen quite a few horror movies. Usually at some other time of year! So, I don’t have a lot of Halloween movies to draw from — I think I missed out on something along the way. Here they are! Alien/Aliens Some horror movies become known for their special effects. Others find a following because of its odd and shocking scenes of blood and gore. Alien could have done it all in one simple line. “In space,…

Every novice essential oil user has experienced this type of confusion and…
