Looking for Something?

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 Dad having pockets full of mints during church. I miss him so much, but I suppose Easter in heaven is quite the celebration. . My Dad sends me pennies from heaven, especially on holidays. Or hard days. Today I found 3, and they’re my favorite kind. Shiny, but a bit beaten up. Rough on the edges, but they still sparkle ... especially in the sunlight. A lot like us. Damaged and broken, but always worthy in the eyes of the Lord. . Happy Easter, Instagram world. He is risen! He is risen indeed. The rest of this messy world just doesn’t matter ✝️ . #heisrisenindeed #easterblessings #penniesfromheaven

That living according to His word will never be an easy road. . That’s hard for a people pleaser like me to accept, especially when people like to tear you down all the time. Report your account. Have your posts taken down. All in the name of “spreading misinformation”. . It is what it is. . So maybe I’m shadow banned and no one sees my stuff. Maybe people out there make a lot of assumptions about me, whether those are good or bad. We all do it, as if social media tells the whole story. . I’m still here whether 5 people or 13K people see what I share. . Because it doesn’t matter. . What matters is that I know the LOVE God has for me, the PEACE I have in knowing my purpose, and the JOY I have in knowing my eternal future. . The rest is just worldly stuff that just 👏🏻 doesn’t 👏🏻matter 👏🏻 . And I’ll tell you, that’s really freeing❤️ . #lovepeacejoy #theworldwillhateyou #imstillhere

I used to watch alllllll the tv. As an only child, it was practically my best friend. But now? Almost never. I literally just found out people still watch Grey’s Anatomy. . Last week at lunch with my best friends, they were chatting about shows to binge watch. This is a regular thing at our lunches, and I’m totally clueless. Like I have NO IDEA. But as one of them said, “This is why you have time to research ALL THE THINGS.” . I don’t know when I became this weirdo, but here I am. Zero pop culture knowledge. But I sure know my way around all the rabbit holes regarding health and wellness😉 . Anyone else?🙋🏻‍♀️ . #notelevision #nonews #howdidthishappen

Totally toxic. Like really bad. . Why do I use it??? . I don’t want to use permanent hair dye. Or get my hair professionally done on the regular. I hate getting roots. So I like the ones that just last for a few months and fade out with washes. I use it about 2-3x a year. And I can’t find a safer option, ugh. Anyone have suggestions? Henna makes my hair too red, so that’s out. But I did hear of one called Overtone that I want to check out. . Annnnd, I’m vain. And kinda old. I like my hair a bit darker, and I hate seeing those little wirey gray hairs sticking out of my side part while I’m wearing skinny jeans and using the laugh-till-you-cry emoji😂 . So there you go! Didn’t want y’all thinking I was going around making perfect choices all the time😉 . #saferhaircare #myvice #balancedlifestyle
