I'm getting ready to prep dinner and I thought I'd give you all a sneak peak into how I do my dinners.  I'm a meal planner but here's the thing... I wing a lot of it! I have a basic idea of what I'm doing each night.  I split my nights into themes--Mexican Mondays, Pasta Tuesdays, etc...  So I have my basic ingredients for each meal and then I add whatever I have on hand! 

For this upcoming fall season I have prepared a self-care challenge to help all of us be more aware of emotions, energy level and needs.  Join me and take time out of the day (it doesn't have to be much) for YOU!  These activities/tips don't take long but you will find that there will be positive lasting effects from just dedicating time to yourself. Do your self and favor and dedicate this month to you! 

"Self-care is not selfish. Self-care is the greatest gift you can give to those you love."

When I first started thinking of my practice I had this vision of being a one stop shop. I somehow wanted to incorporate exercise into my business.  I mean I can't discuss nutrition without speaking about exercise.  I feel some sort of exercise is a big part of being balanced.  And I'm not talking about intense physical exertion. I'm just saying getting out, moving around and being physically active.  I can only guide and advise to a certain extent when it comes to exercise and in my experience I have found people want more. People want accountability and programs for exercise not just me talking about it.  So I started to seek out personal trainers/experts in their field, who shared the same passion and enthusiasm for a healthy lifestyle and could tailor exercise programs (of any level) to those who wanted it.  And guess what? I found just the person!  I found her when I wasn't looking and I love her!!!! So without further ado- I introduce to you all Jennifer Broughton of Two Fit Girls.  www.twofitgirlsnc.com
