3 Lazy Girl Hacks Stay Healthy While Traveling Even If You Always Overeat & Get Sick!
3 Lazy Girl Hacks Stay Healthy While Traveling Even If You Always Overeat & Get Sick!
I know I’m not the only one.
I be living it up on vacation, food-wise especially. Late morning, late nights, dessert whenever, cheese galore.
I’m not even trying to count calories or track my meals on my WW app.
However, bc diabetes is a reality on both sides of my family and I was prediabetic at one time I can’t go too crazy.
I still have to be aware of my health goals and not forget that my blood sugar could go haywire at any moment.
So because of that, there are certain things that we can do while we are on vacay to keep ourselves (sort of) healthy(ish).
And not only that but I used to get a cold when I went on vacation! Go figure! So frustrating. So I also wanted to find some ways to prevent sickness while I traveled.
These are the ideas I’ve used to keep sickness at bay, be “health-conscious” and still have fun while I travel! And luckily none of them are really that hard to do…so let’s see what they are!

Top 5 Affordable & Natural Supplements That Helped REVERSE My Prediabetes! (Natural Alternatives To Metformin)
Best Natural Alternatives To Metformin To Reverse Prediabetes
Did you know that there are natural alternatives to Metformin & that it’s possible to reverse prediabetes?
I know I know…when I was diagnosed with prediabetes I just knew that it was inevitable that I would eventually get diabetes mellitus.
And I had heard for years from my grandmother how serious diabetes is and how you don’t want to get it and on and on.
So when a nurse practitioner at my clinic told me I was prediabetic, I was so scared. But then I got to work to see what I could do to reverse it and to get off of Metformin which they put me on.
I’m grateful to say that I no longer take Metformin and I no longer have prediabetes, praise God. So how did I do it?

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

5 Minute Natural Home Remedy To Moisturize Dry Skin On Your Body
Dry Skin Remedy For Body
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.
And I don’t know why. Maybe in the big scheme of things, it doesn’t matter but I still care.
Maybe it’s because we have to look at it all the time.
Maybe it’s because we can’t help but compares ours to others but whatever the reason, we can sometimes obsess about the state of our skin.
The skincare industry is a billion-dollar industry and for good reason.
Our skin is our largest and most noticeable organ.
No matter much I wished we only got judged by the content of our character or by our actions, we still (especially women) get judged by our beauty and skincare is a big part of that.
I used to watch YouTube videos that would show women doing a 10 step skincare routine every night and 20-minute shower routines.
Their skin was beautiful no doubt but after I get off from work and start writing, running my blogs, cooking dinner, and cleaning, I don’t always want to invest that much time in my skincare.

How To Increase Your Energy Levels In The Morning Without Caffeine
You already know there’s a better way.
You just don’t know how to find that way.
How do you increase your energy in the morning without resorting to sugar-laden coffee?
Because this hitting the snooze on the alarm every morning, dragging out of bed, and reaching for coffee as soon as you can stumble your way into the kitchen is not the abundant life that Jesus was talking about in John 10:10.
Let’s face it.
Many of us are worn out.
Some of us have been this way for so long that we think it’s normal.
Some of us are so unacquainted with energy, we wouldn’t recognize it if it walked up to us and introduced itself (Hi, I’m energy nice to meet you).
It would be awesome if energy would just walk up to us and inject itself into us but instead energy is more like:
So how do we keep energy from waving goodbye and leaving us so quickly (because if we are going to start pursuing the life that God wants us to live then having energy should be at the top of the list)?
I’ve discovered 5 ways to increase our energy levels naturally that have nothing to do with downing coffee all day (even though I love me some coffee).
They don’t even add any calories to our diet (well, one or two might but at least they are healthy calories).
However, before we just get to these 5 secrets to increasing your energy levels, let’s do a brief preview of the best natural energy boosters, and then let’s talk about the spiritual consequences of being chronically fatigued. Continue reading
