5 Ways To Make Your Meals More Nutrient Dense

by My Well Balanced Life | Apr 16, 2017 | Nutrition, Wellness

After six weeks of traveling, nursing a shoulder injury, and the recent chocolate fest known as Easter, all I want to do is eat cake. To be specific, I want to eat the chocolate cake from Zoe’s Kitchen. Sorry, guys. It’s true. Even nutritional therapists...

Hey Girl, Hey!

I’m Amanda! I’m a Pilates & Barre Master Trainer, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Executive 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…

Hybrid school schedule, homeschooling, virtual school, Zoom schedules, and trying to keep up with your own work stuff? Keeping your people fed? Not letting your house turn into a total pit? Not fighting with people on social media? Not letting the state of the world completely weigh you down? Dude I am not pulling anything off well these days. Nada. . But I wanted to share because I know a whole lot of us are feeling the same way. Hang in there, friends and strangers on Instagram. . #hanginthere #2020tired #bruh
. Where were you when the world stopped turning, t . Where were you when the world stopped turning, that September day? . Nineteen years ago, I was a newlywed living in a tiny apartment in Florida ... still trying to understand a new military life. We awoke to news of the first plane hitting the WTC, and I vividly recall watching my Air Force husband run out of our front door in his flight suit telling me he would call me later. He didn't call me for 36 hours, as jets were doing air patrols over all major cities. I sat on my couch, absolutely petrified, sick to my stomach, full of fear. Everything changed. . Service before self is a way of life in the military, and nobody cares about your political opinions when push comes to shove. And while that may be a daily thing in the military, we know that our country is the same at its core — we know this because of how we all came together after 9/11. My feed is flooded this morning with amazing stories of humanity. For absolute strangers. What has happened to us? This isn’t who we are. We are so much better than this❤️ . #neverforget #weremember #unitedwestand

. Let’s pretend that this is what I looked like . Let’s pretend that this is what I looked like today watching Beautycounter’s Virtual Counter Training...💁🏻‍♀️ . Never mind that I have a cold, my hair’s in a weird bun, and the tissues are right next to me🤧 . I never thought I would be someone who got excited about lip gloss, but here we are🤷🏻‍♀️ We got a sneak peek of the 2020 Holiday Collection... just 👏🏻 take 👏🏻 all 👏🏻 my 👏🏻 money 👏🏻 . I’ll be honest. Beautycounter is the sole reason that my wellness business was able to keep on chugging along despite the financial hiccups that many have faced in this crazy year. If you haven’t jumped into some kind of affiliate partnership, you are missing out on a whole heck of a lot — community, education, passion, and financial security to name a few. . Just a reminder that having a multi-passionate business is SO 2020. And if you’ve ever wondered about Beautycounter, I’m your girl! We should totally chat. Imagine me looking like this when we do😉 . #multipassionate #so2020 #passiveincomestream
