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…

Did you know carrots have a unique fiber which hel Did you know carrots have a unique fiber which help pull excess estrogen out of the body?🥕🥕🥕 This is always a fun tip, because most people aren't aware of this info. And fake estrogens are literally everywhere these days. Fake estrogens are lurking in all kinds of things, from plastics to foods to personal care products, and high levels of estrogen lead to lots of undesirable health issues (hormonal acne, PMS, fertility issues, to name a few). Raw carrots have been found to prevent the reabsorption of estrogen from the intestine, which means the liver can more effectively regulate metabolism. 🥕 One medium sized organic carrot a day should help with natural detoxification. Try to stay away from baby carrots and go for the real deal. It’s debatable as to whether or not the fibers are in baby carrots... plus a bag of raw carrots ends up being more cost effective anyway. 🙈TBH, I don’t love raw carrots by themselves. But I slice them up and use them as a vehicle to shove other yummy stuff in my face. Like guacamole. Or hummus. You can read the research by googling “Ray Peat carrot fiber”👍🏻 #estrogendominance #eatmorefiber #rawcarrots
What’s a little thing that makes you happy?😊 What’s a little thing that makes you happy?😊 I live with three boys, and they know more than anyone it doesn’t take much to make me happy. Give me some colorful flowers in a bicycle basket and I’ll do your laundry, make you food, and watch SportsCenter and PTI everyday. My husband sets up the coffee pot every morning so all I have to do is push the button. That’s love, y’all. Do you have a special love language like that? My other one is letting me sleep in😉 #prettyflowers #boymomlife #idontneedfancy

Wanna know a great digestion tip when you’re on Wanna know a great digestion tip when you’re on vacay? Well if your family is like mine and has issues with “staying regular” when traveling, I have the solution. Smart Sweets. AKA: colon blow candy. I used to think chlorophyll pills were the answer, but NO. I was very wrong. It’s yummy candy that has 13 grams of fiber per serving. You’re welcome. I think...🥴🤪💩 #digestion #pooping #yourewelcome
Feeling a bit yucky after yesterday? SAME. A litt Feeling a bit yucky after yesterday? SAME. A little indulgence mixed with not enough sleep and craning your neck to the sky for some firework watching will leave anyone feeling a bit achy and run down. But while you want to reach for more coffee and ibuprofen, the best thing you can do for yourself is drink a big old glass of water. BECAUSE YOU ARE DEHYDRATED. You’re welcome. Lots of schooling and certifications under my belt to tell you something your mom has told you your whole life. But hey, moms are usually right🤷🏻‍♀️ Cheers! Bottoms up, you guys💦 #drinkmorewater #dehydrated #momisalwaysright

You know it’s true. Just like one workout or on You know it’s true. Just like one workout or one salad isn’t going to magically make you lose weight or give you the body you want, consuming the occasional gut healthy foods or supplements aren’t going to heal your gut. It took years to get you where you are, so don’t let anything or anyone trick you into believing there is a quick fix. But it’s a healing journey that is 1000% worth it ... and honestly not that painful or difficult once you make the commitment to fight for your health. TBH, I think people get so caught up in the thoughts and misconceptions that it’s going to be awful, when in actuality it’s not that bad. And let me tell you from experience — once you get that first very real taste of feeling better? There is no greater motivation to keep going and stick to those healthy habits. Working on improving my gut health changed my whole life for the better. Digestion, skin, hormones, energy... and the best part? My anxiety practically disappeared. I truly thought I would never get to a place in my life where I wasn’t consumed by anxiety and fear. But here I am, and it’s .... everything. Stick with it, my friends. You can do it. #healyourgut #guthealthmatters #healthygut
Anyone else REALLY picky about shoes? I want shoe Anyone else REALLY picky about shoes? I want shoes that are comfy, cute, and worth the money. And they are not easy to find. But this is why I’m super particular about shoes: ✔️I started cramming my little feet into pointe shoes at 10 years old, and I have the ugly feet and bunions to show for it. ✔️I broke a bone in my right foot about 15 years ago while wearing platforms, and I still have alignment issues from that injury. ✔️I don’t like buying cheaply made shoes anymore because foot health and support are really important for the body... and I want to use my money wisely. ✔️I have teeny tiny feet, so I have to wear kids shoes a lot of the time. Over the past few years, I have grown to LOVE @rothys. They check all my boxes — so comfortable, super cute, sustainable, and small sizes. Yay! If you're not familiar with this sustainable, B Corps shoe company, they take single use plastics and repurpose them into cute and stylish shoes. They've recycled millions of plastic bottles destined for landfills and created these adorable sneakers that make my feet so happy😍 If you want to give them a try, I have a coupon in my bio link for $20 off your purchase. Just click on “My Favorite Things” to grab the link🙌🏻 #sustainableshopping #rothys #iwearkidsshoes
