Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women: Part 2

Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women: Part 2

Did you catch the first segment of my Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women earlier this week? If not, don’t miss it! You can find it right here.

 

To continue these great tips to maximize your time, while being a great and fully focused mama, keep reading. You’ll essentially be at Wonder Woman status once you’ve read and implemented these bad boys into your daily routine.

 

Say “no” more often

Yup—I’m totally guilty of not following this one myself, but it’s an absolute must to reaching your goals and sticking with them. You have my full permission—just say “NO!”

 

Listen to a podcast, inspirational video while exercising

This has been my jam lately. I always want to maximize my time. Listening to a podcast or watching a professional development video while I do some yoga or get in some cardio has been a motivator to do something good for myself while also expanding my mind—love it!

 

Get your groceries delivered 

Ugh, this one is just so easy. Just push that darn easy button already. You’ll save time, you’ll save money, and most importantly, you’ll save your sanity from taking small children into the grocery store. Because let’s be honest—that’s just nuts!

 

Shop online 

Same concept as getting those groceries delivered. Just shop online! You can get everything you need, oftentimes with free shipping, plus you only shop for what you actually need instead of being tempted by the dollar section at Target. We all know that is where our wallets go to die!

 

Batch home projects

This is a hint at the first rendition of this blog, the Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women: Part 1. Get that to do list out, determine what all of your home-related projects are. Maybe it’s cleaning out that pesky (and stinky!) mudroom, or finally donating those clothes you’ve been meaning to get rid of for years. Whatever it is, make a list of these projects, set a timer (20 or 30 minutes will do), and go to town! You’ll feel so glad when it’s done, and your house will be less cluttered, too. Win, win!


Got all these down? You go, mama! I’m rooting for you! And if you ever have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. Us mamas on a mission to live better, healthier, more abundant lives have GOT to stick together. I’m here for YOU!

Best Time Saving Hacks for Busy Women: Part 1

Prep the night before

This is a game-changer! Set your clothes out for the next day. Pack your lunch, pack your bags, and set out anything you need to have your morning go smoothly. This will save time and your sanity—promise!

 

Make a to do list

If we don’t know what we’re reaching for, how can we possibly achieve it? Write out a to do list for your day or your week—whatever works best for you. I love unloading EVERYTHING that’s been racing through my mind as a busy mom, wife, and entrepreneur, on a piece of paper on Sunday evening or early Monday morning. I do this each week to reduce my stress, have things written down so they’re out of my head, and then organize that list into priorities that need to get done each day of the week.

 

Get up earlier

I’m not going to beat around the bush on this one. It can be tough to wake up earlier if you’re not a morning person, but even 15-20 minutes can make a world of difference for your day. I love waking up 30-45 minutes before the rest of my household wakes up. It allows me to ease into my mornings and helps me feel like I’m starting the day off mindfully vs. as a scatter-brained, hurry mess!

 

Simplify your morning

Keep it simple! No need to put on your full glam makeup if you’ll just be hanging around the house.

 

Dry shampoo + baby wipes are your friend 

After becoming a mom, dry shampoo and baby wipes literally became two of my best friends. I use dry shampoo nearly every day because I have to let you in on a little secret—I don’t shower everyday. Baby wipes are also super great to have in your bag, in the car, or at the office when you need a little refresh. Here’s my favorite baby wipe brand that leaves me feeling super refreshed, and smelling great!

 

Love these time-saving tips? There’s more of where that came from! More time-saving hacks are coming your way in a future blog post.


Wishing you health, wealth, + abundance always!

The 6 Key Habits You Can't Live Without

The 6 Key Habits You Can't Live Without
“How are YOU doing?” 

Not in Joey Tribbiani’s voice from Friends, but rather think of the question in a sweet and vivacious little girl’s voice. This is a question my 2-year old asks us each day. And, when she asks family and friends, “How are YOU doing?” we usually get the blanket response with a sweet smile, “We’re good. How are you?”

But let’s be real. How are you really? Between orders to stay at home, managing work remotely, and likely doing both simultaneously while at home with kids, things are on a new level of HECTIC.

What level of chaos are you experiencing these days? Our home usually ranges between a 5-7, on a scale of 1, where we’re dreaming of lollipops and unicorns, to a 10 where we’re all breathing fire.

But, I’ve got to be honest, I’m not an average kind of girl, and I don’t love it when our family is mediocrely at a 5-7 on the chaos scale. I would much rather us strive to be at a 2 or a 3, where things are great, everything in the house is mostly in order, we’re almost always on time. 

Let's be real: the craziest thing that could happen at a 2-3 on the chaos-o-meter is that we hit a speedbump at 15 mph instead of at 10 mph, and we’re in a touch of a rush to get out of the house. I can totally deal with that (and strive for it!).

But, what if your family is way over that ideal range of chaos for you? There are some ways you can change it, and I’m here to help.

Here are my Six Best Tips for Living your BEST Life, like RIGHT NOW!!

Are you ready? Let's do it!

#1 Morning routine is key, you guys! You've got to have one. ☀️☀️☀️

#2 exercise. 💪 Whatever this looks like to you, hitting the gym or doing some light yoga, get it in!

#3 Read and grow! 📚 Whether you are reading a great book or listening to your favorite podcast, whatever it is, make time for it!

#4 Eat well. 🥗 We've got to nourish our bodies and fully hydrate our bodies for them to work optimally for us. Put the M&Ms down!

Yes, you read that correctly--there are 6 essential tips for living your best life today.

👉👉
The last two tips to living your best life now are available in my health and wellness group here.

✅ Don't miss them! This is all you need to have the best day ever, and officially get that chaos at a manageable level TODAY!! 🎉🎉🎉

25 Drops to a New You

25 Drops to a New You
Hey you! Yes, YOU!!! 

Have you heard of the 25-drop a day challenge? If not, you really should. It could change your life.
 
What’s she talking about … drops of water, eye drops, GUM DROPS?!!
 
If you have been around here for more than a minute, you know I’m referring to drops of essential oils!
 
Not any essential oils, though. Real, 100% pure essential oils. And NOT that junk that you have seen while strolling the aisles of the grocery store.
 
Save yourself some time, some money, and your health, and get in on daily essential oil use. It makes all the difference to becoming the best, most healthy version of yourself.
 
So, what’s that 25-drop challenge? The idea is that you commit to using at least 25 drops of essential oil per day to start working toward better health and wellness habits.
 
What does this look like exactly? 
That may mean that you start off slow, easy, and with something you’re comfortable with. Such as adding 8-10 drops of essential oil to your diffuser, 3 different times throughout the day. News flash: Filling up one of Young Living’s Diffusers 3 times throughout the day will get you benefits ALL DAY LONG.
 
Need some more ideas?
Other ways to experience the 25-drop challenge is to apply oils topically to areas of your body that are needing more support. Think head tension, a sore neck, or after a workout. Applying oils topically is a fantastic way to experience essential oils. Oils also make fantastic additions to your face care routine, your lotion, and your body wash. But, it’s important to only use the good stuff. Hello, Young Living!
 
One last way to crush that 25-drop daily challenge?
One of my personal favorite ways to experience oils (that is ONLY recommended with Young Living Essential Oils Vitality line) is to spice things up by adding them to your favorite coffee or tea, splashing in some Lemon and Basil to zest up your pasta dish, or add Peppermint to your decadent desserts. There are SO many ways to experience oils and score their unbelievable benefits, too.
 
What do I mean by benefits? 
Energized and improved immune benefits. Mood-boosting benefits. Did I mention it smells divine, too? And it’s about a billion times better than those candles you used to burn this time of year.
 
My friend, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The benefits of using oils by diffusing, applying them topically, and ingesting them (remember, Young Living’s vitality line, only!), are unmatched.
 
So … ready to dive into your very own 25-drop challenge? Let’s do it together!
 
 
There’s never been a better time to invest in your health and wellness. Let’s get to it!

I'm ready and more motivated than ever to help you not only change but TRANSFORM your life. Let's GO!
