A Week of Breakfast

I love breakfast food: eggs, bacon, grits, hash browns. It might be my favorite meal on earth! The problem, though, is that I don't eat breakfast for breakfast. Confusing, eh? When I wake up in the morning, the last thing I want to do is think of what to eat. I like my coffee, and my blog time...and that's it. 

Tyler's mentioned to me a few times the importance of breakfast. I always make fun of him because he never misses breakfast. Not one meal. I'm lucky if I eat an apple. So, this week I thought I'd force myself to eat meals to kick start my metabolism. The results have been less snacking and more energy. I can't say I hate it!

For those of you needing a little breakfast inspiration, here's what I've been eating this week:

Breakfast is not a complicated thing. I think the fact that eating something period is good for your body.  Give it a shot! (I can't believe I'm saying this)

Are you a big breakfast eater?

Healthy Eating

I'm not exactly a healthy eater. I wouldn't say I eat cheetos every day, but it's difficult for me to cut candy out of my diet. Ha. I've gained a little over 5 pounds from Holiday eating. With Christmas behind me and 2014 ahead of me, I'm ready to eat healthier as well as become more active.

Lately I've been hitting the apartment gym, trying to get rid of a jiggly booty (Tyler would disagree about the jiggly booty) but i've never seen my body this way and it's been a huge wake up call that my metabolism is finally slowing down. What a sad realization!! And y'all, i'm so out of shape. I rode a bike for 5 minutes and was already wanting to faint!

Now that I've done my complaining, I'd love to ask you guys for any health tips you may have or what keeps you healthy. I am hitting up the grocery today for easy meal ideas and will be sharing this next week on the blog.

I purchased these peppers (above) at the grocery store. They came washed and in a zipped bag in the produce. SO delicious!

I also read great benefits on honey, so Tyler stuffed my stocking this year with a honeycomb and Tupelo honey from Savannah Bee Company. Splendid!

I guess you could call this a new resolution of mine. I'm not planning on losing weight, but I want to feel healthier, see sunlight more and be able to run for 5 minutes without wanting to die.

Any tips??

A Beauty Secret: Apple Cider Vinegar

Hello there, folks. Today I wanted to share with you something I found out recently. Did you know consuming Apple Cider Vinegar is good for your health and well being?

My mom has always used it in the kitchen for cooking, but I did not know that drinking it would prove to be so beneficial.

Gala Darling says, "Apple cider vinegar contains malic acide which makes ACV anti-viral, anti-bacterial & anti-fungal; potassium which prevents hair loss, brittle teeth & runny noses; calcium which is good for strong bones & teeth; pectin which helps to regulate blood pressure & reduce bad cholesterol; & acetic acid which slows the digestion of starch, that in turn lowers the risk of glucose after eating."

After reading about it, I ran to my mom and said, "Did you know drinking apple cider vinegar is good for you!?" She told me her doctor drinks a tablespoon a day. If a doctor can do it, so can I!

So I decided to try this stuff.  It doesn't look too shabby. After all, I like apples. But here's the thing: it doesn't taste like apples at all. At all. It is the most bitter, pungent taste and it burned all the way down. But I suppose if it's for my health, why not make it a routine?

How should you take it? Try taking a tablespoon of vinegar and diluting it in a tablespoon of water. That way, it doesn't damage your teeth.

For now, I plan on taking it every day. I am hoping it improves my skin and cleans out my system. I'll keep you guys updated if I notice a change. Do you plan on trying it? Here are other ways it can help you: 

If you decide to give it a go, let me know what you think!
