Has anyone else tried the balsamic vinegar in a flavored (apparently ANY flavor) fizzy water to make a coke? It’s actually not bad! And definitely better for you than soda.

Movement is such a major contributor to keeping ourselves healthy. One of my hobbies is testing out different fitness classes because I think it’s important to move your body in different ways (change up your routine!) AND find something that you enjoy and are likely to continue on a regular basis.

Loved trying today!Thank you to Rachel for a great experience 💜

The animal for each year is a symbol of the energy of the year and starting today it’s the year of the tiger! After the year of the ox where we spent a lot of effort putting in hard work and planning, this year we’ll regain some enthusiasm and vitality. Tigers are seen to be competitive, courageous, powerful and ambitious. This is the year to go big or go home. Make decisions and expect big changes in career and relationships. So pursue your dreams but remember to use your intuition, be generous, and consider the good for all involved. Things will change quickly and some will succeed where others will fail.

If you didn’t do your deep cleaning before the start of the calendar new year (Jan 1st), now is your chance!

Remember clean BEFORE February 1st - never ON New Year’s Day. If you clean on New Year’s Day it symbolizes washing away the incoming good luck and abundance of the coming year.

This is the last week of the year of the Ox! Did you put in the work over this past year? Did you create new, healthy habits and get organized? Think about an ox plowing the fields… it was a good year for planning for future growth and abundance. A year about patience and consistency. Congrats on your strength! You made it!

It’s national espresso day! Swipe and read on for a reminder on my coffee drinking tips.

First, the timing. Wait about 90 minutes after waking to have that first cup OR some say between 9:30-11:30am. Our bodies naturally produce cortisol (peaking around 8-9am) which helps us feel awake and get moving in the morning. Because caffeine increases cortisol, if you have coffee at your peak cortisol time you are actually training your body to produce less cortisol on its own. So you’ll struggle to produce cortisol naturally without caffeine and can feel reliant on coffee to wake you up each day.

Second...let’s stop with the artificial creamers. Reach for milk or milk alternatives and add your own amount of sugar so you can really tailor how much you’re consuming.

Third... if you have ANY insomnia issues, stop coffee consumption by noon.

And lastly, consider drinking coffee in moderation, taking a few days off here and there. If you feel like you NEED it to get through the day you probably have some deeper imbalances in the body that need to be addressed. Chinese medicine says caffeine gives us energy by pulling from our “back up battery” so if we consistently do that we’ll end up very qi deficient and drained. This is similar to Western medicine that says caffeine can drain the adrenal system through its elevated cortisol effect.

The weather is getting colder so now is the time for homemade ginger (or chai) tea. Ginger and chai spices are warming in nature. Great for when the temperatures start to drop.

Ginger is also a common herb in Chinese medicine. It’s known to support digestion, alleviate nausea, stop coughing, and reduce phlegm.

Cute little snake in my office building today. Snakes represent transformation, change, and transition - think “shedding skin”. They also relate to healing, primal energy, personal growth, fertility, and staying grounded.
