Hey Girl, Hey!

I’m Amanda! I’m a Pilates & Barre Master Trainer, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Managing Director with Beautycounter, recently retired military wife, and mother of two very energetic boys.

I’ve given up the unrealistic notion of being awesome at everything and embraced the idea of just keeping the important stuff well balanced.

My life is not nearly as cool as my Pinterest boards, you guys. But I do try to live a healthy life and make better choices for my family. If you have any interest in doing the same, please stick around! Read More…

. Happy 8th birthday, Beautycounter!🥳 . I will . Happy 8th birthday, Beautycounter!🥳 . I will admit that I had NO IDEA what I was getting into when I signed up to be a consultant about four years ago, but @greggrenfrew and her company have transformed my life in so many ways. . Thank you, @beautycounter, for …. . ❤️Creating a platform to communicate a mission and message that is incredibly personal to me. . ❤️Opening my eyes to the potential of affiliate sales and network marketing . ❤️Giving me an amazing community which has filled me with so much joy. . ❤️Blessing me with significant income to pay for my boys to attend private Christian schools, because that’s always been important to me and my husband. . ❤️Providing another way for me to help people live healthier lives, including myself and my family. . ❤️Enabling me to see the truth behind the beauty industry and understand the power we have to make big changes for the greater good. . ❤️Allowing me to dream bigger than I ever imagined. . ❤️Empowering me with the confidence to share this business opportunity with others who I know without a doubt can benefit from this gig. . ❤️Teaching me how to be a person who leads with kindness, integrity, and authenticity. . ❤️Turning me into someone who gets excited about skincare and makeup…. who knew? . ❤️Inspiring my husband to surprise me with this Beautycounter golf cart for Christmas to celebrate my growing business. I mean …. SWOON!😍 . Just say yes to opportunity, my friends. Life is too short to get caught up in the what ifs and negativity. Go out there and do the dang thing! When you stay true to yourself and your mission, you can never go wrong. Blessings and goodness abound. . xx, Amanda❤️ . #beautycounterconsultant #takethejob #sayyestoopportunity
. My husband and I planned out my first Pilates st . My husband and I planned out my first Pilates studio while eating dinner at Chili’s... and we wrote it down on a bar napkin. . We still have it. . Moral of the story? Don’t spend all your time working out the perfect plan. Sometimes you gotta just brain dump your ideas and then GO FOR IT. . Was I ready? Heck no. Was it successful? In so many ways. . Are you stuck in the “I’m not ready/I gotta overthink it” phase? . #goforit #overthinker #lessthinkingmoredoing

. I’ve been the “crazy” friend and family me . I’ve been the “crazy” friend and family member for a really long time now. You know, the one who people think are weird or crunchy or hippie about health and wellness. And I’m fine with it, I’ve accepted it, I’ve come to enjoy being the odd duck. But some days, it feels exhausting and lonely. Today is one of those days. . Not a pity party, just real life. But like most things that are worthwhile, you’re gonna get knocked around and experience moments of despair. You’re going to put your whole heart out there even though you know it’s going to get stomped on. And then, you remember your why, dust yourself off, and just keep going❤️ . #shoutouttothecrazies #getbackup #keepgoing
. Friday introductions! That’s a thing, right? I . Friday introductions! That’s a thing, right? I’m Amanda, and this is a real life, no edit picture from my kitchen in Texas. I have lots of beautiful pics that would definitely be more appealing and IG worthy, but I’m trying to get back to the good old days of Instagram when I didn’t overanalyze every little thing before sharing something. This is the everyday, actual me. . I’m a nutritional therapist, and I love empowering people to heal their bodies with a real food diet. I have officially become that person that really does love green smoothies. I also shoved two Red Vines into my mouth about 10 minutes before I made the last nutrient dense smoothie in my Vitamix. . I’m a Pilates Master Trainer, Barre Master Trainer, and aerial fitness trainer. I love what these methods can do for people’s bodies and quality of life. But I’ve barely exercised at all in the past year because I’ve been dealing with soft tissue injuries in my lower back and hips. For someone who loves movement, it’s been really challenging, both physically and mentally. This too shall pass. . I am a Beautycounter consultant because I feel really strongly about the need to educate people about the need for safer products. It’s an area that for some reason most people don’t know about, and I feel passionately about changing that. Switching to safer products made a huge impact on my health, and I want everyone to know the importance of it. And yet I still color my hair with less than stellar products about 3 times a year because I will fight old lady gray hair for the long haul. . I adore bright colors and happy stuff and funny memes, love to laugh, and I have a super cute family which consists of my retired Air Force husband and two boys who are 16 and 8. I also struggled with infertility, 7 miscarriages in a row between my boys, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and chronic pain for a whole lot of years. Just now do I feel ready to start being a resource for women dealing with infertility and multiple miscarriage... it’s been a really long journey of healing. . Real life. We all do our best, and some days that looks better than others. Here’s to finding that unicorn we call balance❤️
. I grew up with parents who have/had servant hear . I grew up with parents who have/had servant hearts and always went the extra mile... with no expectations of anything in return. I try to live by this rule both personally and professionally, and I’ll be honest — it’s beautiful, rewarding, and freeing❤️ . #gotheextramile #noexpectations #itsabeautifullife
. Hi from Texas👋🏻 . We are totally fine, th . Hi from Texas👋🏻 . We are totally fine, thx for the many check-ins. Our power was restored night before last and has stayed on, so we are warm. And it’s a beautiful day☀️ . Still no water, but that’s ok. It feels like dry camping in Alaska... IYKYK. . I haven’t showered or washed my hair in 6 days. Oh well. Thank you to @primallypure for your dry shampoo. I put on makeup today and feel kinda normal. . Other random things I’m grateful for: . -Our @berkey_filters water filter 💦 -@beautycounter makeup remover wipes 💄 -Four years of Alaska living 🥶 -A gas stove because that means we can always make coffee☕️ -Lots of winter hats and cold weather gear🧤 -My Matilda Jane fleece blanket🧣 -Two boys who are totally unfazed by all of this👬 -A husband who is really smart and resourceful 🤓 -A Dad who was a tad obsessive about prepping for stuff like this 👨🏻‍🦳 -Being close to family👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 -Pipes that have held up so far🤞🏻 . One more hard freeze tonight and then hopefully Texas will be on the mend and we can all focus on helping everyone get back on their feet. So many people are suffering. . #prayfortexas #gratefulandthankful #preppergear
. We are a mess down here. I know it seems funny t . We are a mess down here. I know it seems funny to those who have lived in places with frigid temps, but this is on a whole different level. I’ve done major hurricanes on the Gulf Coast and massive snowstorms and earthquakes in Alaska... but those are expected. States are prepared and equipped for likely disasters. . Texas isn’t supposed to be prepared for this kind of weather... then add in a failed power grid and lack of water... it’s scary. My family will be just fine, but there are many facing dire situations and it’s really frightening. Praying for relief and restoration for everyone who is cold, hungry, dirty, scared, sick, wet, and overwhelmed by these circumstances. . Also, I’m on day 5 of dry shampoo with no bathing in sight. We are all looking pretty rough🙈 . #prayfortexas #wewillbeok #butwearecold

Had a big messy cry this morning because I feel like I’m failing at all the things. ALL THE THINGS. And it seems like everyone else is winning at all the things. . Neither of these things is true. . No one is killing it. Everyone is struggling in some way. We all need a bit (or a lot) of grace for ourselves and for others. . Thankful for friends who I feel safe enough with to break down and not pretend to be anything but myself. You know who you are❤️ . #nooneiskillingit #weallstruggle #giveyourselfgrace
