Dream!

To change your future, you must simply make the decision to do so....AND GO AFTER IT. When I was pregnant I KNEW I would want to have more time at home once my daughter arrived. I was determined to make that happen. While success isn't automatic, it is WORTH putting the effort in! After a year and a half of consistency I'd have to say that replacing half of my full time income has been worth it. While the financial side is great, my main drive comes from the fact that life is SHORT. Time passes QUICKLY. My daughter will not be little forever. I WANT to be here for those slow mornings, first milestones, and days at home with no schedule! This opportunity is allowing that to happen. What has changed in me? I'm not afraid to dream and GO AFTER what I love! I used to be judgemental about it, scared about the fact that I could fail....but then I realized - the time will pass anyway! I had to decide if it was worth taking a chance at affecting my future in a crazy, positive way. Am I glad I took that leap now? ABSOLUTELY. 2017 is around the corner. Who's gonna be the next one to take the leap with me? This side is SO much better...to fly you must first jump!!! #fly #girlboss #goals #mom #life #baby #maternity #leave #home #family #love #priorities #momlife #healthy #free #freedom #financialfreedom #carefreehealthy #boss #bossbabe #dream #dream #dreamer www.carefreehealthy.com

Trust

I am a planner. I always have been. Sometimes the unknown can be stressful! I get it! Since the summer of 2015, I have been trying this whole new idea of truly giving up control and letting God step in and amaze me...... and I can honestly say, I have never once been disappointed! In fact, the plans that God has for my life and what he has already been doing are far greater than what I could've planned myself! 

Today I want to encourage you to pray more and plan less. I know that sounds totally backwards to some and probably stupid to others. I speak from experience when I tell you that giving up control and trusting more in the one who loves us most, is one of the decisions you'll ever make! 

Embrace the unknown, stop and enjoy the little things in life, and know that you're greatest and most rewarding adventure is on the other side of fear. Take that bold step and know that HE WILL come through for you......but only when you step back and TRULY LET HIM. 

Have a great day guys! 💋

Why going makeup free for one week will change you for the better

As many of you know, I am all about living a #carefreehealthy life! I believe it is important occasionally detox and stick with eating clean as an 80/20 rule. It is also important to stay active, at least a few times a week with an exercise program you enjoy. One thing I have not touched on yet, mainly because I had not done it myself, is doing a SKIN detox. 

A skin detox you ask?

Why?

-your skin will thank you

-you will learn to love your imperfections

-your skin cells will have a chance to regenerate 

-you will find a new type of confidence you didn't know you had

-you will develop a new type of "glow" from allowing your skin to breathe more

So, today is day 5 for me and it has not been easy. While I do not wear a lot of makeup, I still "hide" behind a little concealer, tinted moisturizer, or foundation. 

One thing I'm already able to tell is my skin is starting to clear up! Water intake is important as well - we must hydrate from the inside to give our skin, our largest organ a good "drink."

Our society is SO FIXATED on perfection and by NOT wearing makeup this week I am learning that inner beauty, TRUE, RAW, REAL us is where its at! While there is nothing wrong with wearing makeup (and I enjoy it actually) I believe it is important to occasionaly give our faces a break and allow it to heal and re-set, just as a detox would do for the rest of our bodies! 

I want to encourage you to do the same! If you do not want to do this for a week, start small with maybe just two days - Saturday and Sunday for example. I look forward to hearing what you think! Summer is a great time to go makeup-free as sweating with makeup on can also lead to more breakouts!  I look forward to hearing back from you with what you think of this challenge. 

True beauty comes from the inside and this is just one way to prove that we do not need makeup to feel ourselves, to feel beautiful, or to feel confident. 

Let your skin breathe, let it reset, and reveal that inner glow that is waiting to be seen!

Make it happen

We prioritize what matters to us. What matters to you? What do you want to have more time for? What do you want to be able to afford? What goals do you have for yourself with your own health and fitness? I've been able to turn my fitness transformation into a career and I'm nobody special! I am here to tell you that YOU can do the same thing! I'm here to pay it forward and get you started on your own transformation with your health, fitness, and finances!

Eye makeup tips for when you're wearing glasses

1: Shadow! Keep your shadow neutral and ✨ bright! Glasses tend to cast small shadows depending on the angle, so you want to keep it light!

2: Eyeliner! Thinner eyeliner complements thinner frames, while thicker eyeliner complements thicker frames! Keep the color or shade of eyeliner brighter than your frame color, so your eyes stand out! (Again, nothing darker to add to any shadowing from frames!)

3: Mascera! Choose volumizing instead of lengthening! Plump those lashes up instead of making them reach your lenses! Haha...

4: Eyebrows! Boost your brows a little! Shade them in a touch so they sit nicely about your cute frames! 

5: Smile! Inner confidence is the best way to enhance your natural beauty 😘

Who knew there were so many details to consider when wearing glasses? Haha! I love wearing my glasses because let's be real...I'm kind of a dork, so that's just an 

outer way to complement my inner "me"...

What are your favorite types of frames? Metal or plastic? Sleek or bold? Traditional or trendy? Whatever you rock, remember these little tips so your eyes "pop"!!!

👌🏼

Have a great week!
