How To Lose Weight While You Sleep + 3 Ways To Fall Into A Deep Sleep Naturally

How To Get A Good Night’s Sleep And Induce Those Mystical Weight Loss Inducing Hormones

Whoa, ya’ll!

Mind blown seriously.

Like you, I have always heard that the link between sleep and weight loss was important.

It shows up in many of the “37 ways to lose weight” articles.

It’s usually number 17 or somewhere in the middle of the pack and I personally just gloss right over it because, sleep is not really that big of a deal, right?

I mostly figured that they were just trying to pad their list article to make it longer.

There’s a more “nefarious” reason why I’ve always glossed over the sleep suggestion too.

Try This 1 Minute Lazy Girl Body Care Tip For Beautiful Glowing Skin! 

Do you have super dry skin on your body like I do?

I’ve had dry skin as long as I can remember and I’m always looking for some more home remedies to help alleviate this desert that I call my skin

That’s because skincare matters a lot to me.  Ain’t no shame in my game.

Their skin was glowing and beautiful no doubt but after I got off from work and started writing, running my blogs, cooking dinner, and cleaning, I don’t always want to invest that much time in my skincare.

Stevia is the healthy sweetener of choice for most protein powders.

It leaves a bitter aftertaste that’s hard to escape.

7 Habits That Keep Christians Stuck in Debt (And How to Break Free with God’s Help)

Student loans.

Mortgages.

Some of us could be drowning in debt and guess what?

We might still decide to finance that vacation we’re going on in July.

That’s because as a society we have this philosophy that credit is free money or this “get it now pay for it later” mindset.

Sometimes, we don’t even realize which financial habits keep us enslaved.

Looking at debt from this angle might help open our eyes.
