Your BEST health starts in the kitchen. I wish I could lie and tell you that some bootcamp or marathon training or magical supplement would make all your health and fitness dream goals come true. But I cannot. The MOST important thing you can do for your health, the ABSOLUTE BEST New Year’s Resolution you can make is to tackle the kitchen Monster. When you begin to prepare your own food and love the process, you will develop a true appreciation for what it means to provide your body with Nourishment. Regardless of whether you are wanting to tackle the kitchen yourself, know someone who has vowed to cook more, or love someone who relishes in a nice glass of wine while they create culinary masterpieces, these Fab Five gifts will delight the Healthy cook!
Read MoreMy family spends a ton of time in the outdoors- Hiking, Camping, Playing in the woods. We love the outdoors and we are always looking for more ways to really engage our family in a deeper Nature Connection. Let’s be honest, though, that we are also always looking for ways to make these activities flow more smoothly. If you know a family that loves the outdoors, these suggestions just might come in handy!
Read MoreI'm wide open about my foot obsession. I mean, after a full reconstruction with bone removal on the left and some wires and screws on the right I suppose I am justified. When I am looking for shoes, I have some serious criteria and I DO NOT COMPROMISE.
Read MoreAll good things come to an end. And no matter how motivated you might be right now for your current exercise routine, it will change. It will eventually get hard to wake up, show up, man up. Or life might just get complicated with sick family members, financial issues, or a complete work overload. If you aren’t ready for it, this lack of motivation will wallop you right upside the head and you’ll fly right off the exercise train. When you finally come to your senses (however long that might take), the uphill climb back to the starting line can break you, literally and figuratively. With an Emergency Action Plan in place, you can bob and weave and avoid the whole fiasco.
Read MoreIn the Not So Fab Five, I confessed that things have been pretty shitty. In reality, my brain had been mostly shitty more so than my actual life. Anyways, when it’s Not So Fab, the best thing to do is to Fake it til You’re Fab. The only way to get somewhere different is to take a step. And so this edition of Becca’s Fab Five is dedicated to taking steps in the right direction til it’s all Fab again.
In this one, I give you my Mac and Cheese recipe, remind you to check out all our info on feet, tell you how we protect from the sun and yet my kids have that amazing "glow" everyone talks about (it's not sunscreen!), talk about the difference between being BROKEN and being Broken Open, and give you the link to the magical sunflower seeds that grow the beauties by my front door. I hope you enjoy!!
Read MoreYou may have noticed that I am super late with the Fab Five this month. You also may not have noticed, and that’s ok, too. But I noticed. I actually noticed every single one of the ways I have sucked since about the second week of January. A huge dark cloud has been hanging over me and try as I might, I simply could not find any light. Was I depressed? Hell, I don’t know… maybe. I have no doubt that many doctors would’ve happily slapped a script in my hand and patted my tush as I walked out the door. Problem solved. I’ve gone that route and I don’t like that Becca.
Read MoreI LOVE the Human Body with all of its mysteries and intricacies. New products and science are always coming down the pipe and it's hard to know what to read, where to spend your dollars, and when to focus your energy. I thought it would be helpful to show you just FIVE things I'm loving each month. Maybe a recipe, or a book, or an exercise or stretch..... Maybe a product, or a podcast, or a restaurant or venue. I'm giving you ONE THING in each of the areas of our Four Cornerstones or Health, plus a bonus. I hope you'll try them in your life and find a benefit for you!
