4 Tips to a Healthier You This New Year
We all want to feel and look our best, but let's face it...we often don't have the motivation to do the things that are beneficial to our mental and physical well-being. These days, life is so fast-paced! We are overworked, underpaid, tired, and short on time. Believe me, I would rather spend my free time binge-watching Netflix than going to the gym.

Things You Should Do Right Before Bed
There are many of us that lack a good night's sleep. Either we sleep past 2 AM, constantly tossing and turning, or your surroundings are preventing you from sleep. Whatever it may be, there's a reason that most people wake up in the morning groggy and in the worst mood.

Workout Preface
I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions. To me, they just seem like they were made to be broken. With that being said, I have decided to really try and commit to bettering myself in the year to come. I am doing this in multiple facets of my life and one of them is through physical fitness and all around healthiness.

Why Being Strong Is a Lie
I went to my doctor today and as part of my routine visit she asked me how I’m doing. I told her I’m really good at faking how well I’m coping, but that I’m getting tired, that I’m losing my fight, my resilience. That old saying, ‘that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ is bullshit. It might at first, but after a while it starts to wear you down until eventually you wish it would.

My Side of the Spectrum
“Really? You seem pretty normal to me.” That’s the reaction I usually get when I tell people I’m on the spectrum. And by that, I mean autism spectrum disorder. Not everyone understands what autism feels like, but in short, I describe it as going through parts in life in other ways. I’m stronger in some areas and skills, like in music for example. I play five instruments and sing, and with my perfect pitch I could tell you the key signature of a song just from listening to it. But in other areas, I tend to struggle more.

Three Oil Discussion
Starting at the beginning of the alphabet, I will start by talking about Copaiba, DiGize, and Frankincense. Each of these has their own strengths that benefit the body in different ways. They may be singles or they may be blends, but each has ways to help the body be better. Note: I am not a doctor. These oils have not been approved as medicine by the FDA.

Trying to Lose Weight in 2018
We live in a superficial world, we all know that; a world divided in two categories: beautiful or not. We’re fighting each other to know who’s the sexiest, who’s the one who’s going to win everybody’s heart. We’re inventing dumb challenges. We fix the bar so high that boys, if you do not have a six pack, you’re nothing and girls, if you can’t hold a pen under your boob, you’re never going to be sexy.

5 Things They May Forget to Tell You When You Start to Learn Pole Fitness
So get this; it’s October 31, 2017. It’s Halloween, Tuesday night. I’ve been consumed with this evening for the last week and a half and not only because it’s a deeply cherished holiday of mine.

Best Activewear for Looking Good While Working Out
A new year means new goals, and for many, fitness is on the very top of that list. We’re either determined to lose a few pounds by the summertime or want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. So, newfound motivation (figuratively) and water bottle (literally) in hand, we head to the gym or roll out our yoga mats at home and get to work. Thirty minutes of cardio, muscle building, and stretching a day seems like a simple task at first, but sometimes we need a little extra motivation to stop us from cutting our routines short or skipping days entirely. And that’s where fashion comes in.

The Purpose of Your Life
Who you are is not the Rolex on your wrist nor the Bentley that you ride. Your essence is not the love of sexual desires nor the worshiping of mortal objects. These material substances are temporary to who you truly are—an infinite immortal soul who is already perfect and complete. You are not at fault, for this is the only life you ever knew.
