Dare To Save: Let Me Show You How

Beverly — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 18:08:23 +0000

If you are like me, it seems like your plate is always full, and as soon as you get an item moved off that plate, here comes two more! Like most busy moms, I am constantly handling everything for my family, whether it be walking the dogs, making sure everyone stays on schedule, and of course…making sure the fridge and the cabinets are always full! HA! Let’s dare to save money and time! I am always on a tight schedule, so placing my Walmart order on the Walmart app and having it delivered right to my home is gold to me! Not only can I get my groceries, but I can also have my everyday needs delivered…plus all the Time and Tru new arrivals, and that is called a win/win! *Thanks to Walmart for sponsoring this post, and as always, all opinions are my own. I joined Walmart+ earlier this year with the intent of using it to save on my gas; I never thought that I would use it 2-3 times a week saving me time and money, but this girl is killing it, ha! We have been trying to eat healthier, but when it’s only two at the dinner table, cooking big meals is few and far between. I am always loading up on Walmart’s private label brands (Great Value, Marketside, Sam’s Choice, and Freshness Guaranteed) and I have been able to stretch our grocery budget further than I ever imagined. Marketside and Freshness Guaranteed are must-haves for us since they are prepackaged and easy to grab and go, or just grab and eat! One of my faves is the Freshness Guaranteed Cranberries, Celery, and Pecan Chicken Salad. The 4-pack containers make it so much easier for me on low carb/high fat days, and the Marketside Fresh Salads are always in our fridge for a quick lunch. I always have the Freshness Guaranteed Fajita Grilled Chicken to make a quick wrap for lunch, and Brooklyn loves it! Another item we love is the Marketside soups cause they are delish! The washed and ready-to-cook Marketside vegetables are always on my favorite lists on the Walmart App, so reordering is quick and simple. *Now that’s time-saving! I also buy my paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, and dog food in bulk and have them delivered to my door. My dogs may bark a little bit when it’s delivered, but this girl didn’t have to get out and lug that heavy stuff nowhere, lol! It’s amazing how Walmart has been able to simplify my life to where I can stay on schedule, spend time with my family, and save me money! And best yet, using Walmart’s Online Grocery Service, you can save time by having their personal shoppers do the hard work for you. New customers can use promo code TRIPLE10 to save $10 off their first three pickup or delivery orders. $50 min. Restrictions & fees apply. Start saving today by clicking here to start your order! See all the new and trending foods at Walmart here, you will be surprised at what you will find, and be sure to bookmark it so you can always see what’s new! See our Halloween picks below. Just the other day the temps had dropped a little and Raegan asked to have chili for dinner, so we had all the ingredients delivered to our door the same day. If you like quick and easy dinners, try our chili recipe below. Sometimes I use my crockpot I got last Christmas to keep the chili warm and I use it weekly for soups and easy dinners. I even use it for hot cocoa in the winter and apple cider in the fall. My Kitchen Faves Easy Chili In 30 Minutes Ingredients: ground beef (we use 2 lbs.) minced garlic or 1 teaspoon of garlic powder 2 cans of diced tomatoes (we use chopped onions and garlic flavor) 2 cans of chili with chili beans a pinch of brown sugar Toppings – shredded mild cheese, sour cream, and Scoops for dipping! Directions: Brown meat till there is no longer any pink, add the remaining can ingredients, and mix together. Once mixed, add a pinch of brown sugar and let simmer, add your toppings, and enjoy! Now that I have shared some of my must-haves, do you have your own must-haves from Walmart? Drop your faves below in the comments, because we know sharing is caring (that’s a Brooklyn saying lol). And be sure to check out Walmart for all your everyday needs, essentials, and groceries that will make your life stress free! Don’t forget to use the coupon code above if you are a first-time user, start your order here! Stay safe and be blessed! XOXO It was Hmmmm…Hmmmm….Good LOL! Hope you liked these ideas for quick dinners and lunch ideas!

Fitness & Wellness After 50

Beverly — Sat, 02 Jan 2021 05:13:00 +0000

As I read all of your comments yesterday with your goals and resolutions, it made me smile, laugh, and want to cheer every one of you on. My goals are a lot like most of you. We are so similar in so many ways, whether you live near me or are countries far away. 2020 taught me to appreciate what I have and who is in my life. I started making changes in September as far as faith, organization, and keeping a positive mindset, so I am a few steps ahead of the game. I decided to forget all the failures, pick myself up, and start the race all over again. Top 4 in 2021 My goal is to grow more in my faith. Spend more time with my husband! (IE: date nights at home lol) Move more! I started doubling my steps a few weeks back and I am seeing changes already. I am not going to the gym yet, so I am pushing myself to workout at least 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes. Lose the 10 lbs that I have put on since Thanksgiving! As I get older – being able to move and enjoy life is something I am taking very seriously. I do not want to get older with very little muscle mass, or hardly being able to move, or play with Brooklyn. I watch Barry who is 61 and fit as a fiddle, he runs, plays with Brooklyn, has more “get-up-and-go” than me. He has been on the FWTFL after I finished my first round. Barry saw my progress, he saw that I was eating, and he saw that it worked! He is like a 40-year-old, but because I indulged in emotional/boredom eating for a few months – I am starting to lag behind. Well…that just can’t happen girls! In 2019 I started the FASter Way To Fat Loss program and had GREAT success! You can read my story here or by clicking the picture below. I have maintained my weight easily, until staying home and boredom eating during the holidays. So I am back to carb-cycling, intermittent fasting, and eating better. This is the only program I have ever been on that actually worked, I was never hungry, and the fat started dropped off in week 2 and 3. I start back Monday, we have a new round starting, if interested, you can join here with me. This program really works, and my entire family has had success. It’s the easiest way to lose weight, plus you have a coach to help you. If you are struggling with weight or health or just want to lose that last 10 lbs, I urge you to consider this program. Read more about it here. See my Before & After pics below. I believe the Before Pic was from December 2018 and the After was June 2019. If you are interested, read my story, I tell everything! Join the first 2021 Round on January 4th HERE. Follow along on Instagram for my recipes and snack ideas on my instastories! Some of my favorite products and clothing items that I use for my meals, water bottles, yoga mats, outside gear to keep me warm while working out or walking, and more.

5 Must-Haves For Women Over 40

Beverly — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 04:43:00 +0000

There are some things that women over 40 should buy for themselves to maintain and restore youthfulness! Now that I’ve celebrated my 40th and 50th birthday (and more…), I’ve compiled a list of a few must-haves of things I believe women maturing in age should treat themselves to just because every now and then we need a little pampering. And if we can roll back the hands of time, then let’s do it! MicrodermaMitt Deep Exfoliating Body and Face Scrub About a month ago I was gifted this exfoliating set for an honest review of the product. Before I give it a shout out on social media or the blog, I will use a product for a considerable amount of time to make sure it is worthy to share with my followers, if it’s not – then I send it back. With that being said, I am going through menopause and have extremely dry skin and I am constantly trying new products to exfoliate and hydrate my arms and legs. They seem to be the driest part of my body, more than likely from being in the sun for so many years. So I was eager to try this all-natural product that had great reviews. I read the instructions and got in the shower, let the hot water do its thing, and then I started to rub this mitt all over myself. As I was rubbing I started noticing these new “age spots” or at least I thought it was age spots on my inner arms. Imagine my surprise when I realized it was dead skin! This derma mitt is around $29 or so and lasts 6 months and it definitely works! If you suffer from dry skin, this will make your skin feel like a teenager again. I could not stop feeling my arms and legs for days! That’s how good it is. The body derma mitt can be seen here and the facial derma mitt can be seen here. I give this product 5-stars because I love it, it works, and I use it every 2-3 days and it’s keeping my maturing skin super soft. Modere Liquid Collagen Have you seen this Liquid “Collagen” Biocell floating around on social media? This product can absolutely change your hair game if you are experiencing thinning hair or dry and brittle hair. It also helps restore collagen that helps combat sagging skin and also helps with collagen in joints and more. Use the code below to get $10 off your first order, you can see the “liquid collagen” here. When I kept seeing this show up in my feed and see my other friends using this, I decided to give it a try. See below for more facts on this award-winning product. Visible signs of aging and joint discomfort can be a result of typical wear and tear of connective tissue where collagen and hyaluronic acid are essential. Liquid BioCell® replenishes these important substances and is clinically shown to work. Improves joint mobility & lubrication Reduces joint discomfort Promotes healthy cartilage & connective tissue Decreases skin dryness Improves skin’s hydration, firmness & elasticity Increases skin’s collagen content Reduces hyaluronidase, the enzyme that can make your skin age Supports cardiovascular health Promotes healthy hair, nails, gums & eye BLAQ- Activated Charcoal Under Eye Mask With Hyaluronic Acid I started using these over a year ago from a goodie box full of beauty products to review online. I have continued to use these eye masks because these babies work. This helps reduce puffiness, reduces under-eye circles, and the charcoal pulls out toxins and bacterias. The Hyaluronic acid quickly restores moisture to dull and dehydrated under-eye skin, plumping and firming to reduce aging fine lines and wrinkles. These are a must-have for tired moms, or ladies showing age under the eyes. See the eye mask here. There are 3 bundles you can choose from, from 5 masks to a 15 mask bundle. I typically use these about 3 times a week to help with puffiness under my eyes due to allergies and I can tell when I am run out of the product. Lee Beauty Callus Remover Gel For Your Feet If you have been getting pedicures I am sure you have had some type of issues with dry skin around your heels. This product actually works and you will see a change in your feet within 10 minutes. This stuff is so extraordinary it will remove YEARS off your feet by eliminating the rough and unsightly skin caused by calluses and corns without the hassle of using any weird callus remover tools. Follow the directions and you will be sold just like the over 8K women who love this product and left raving reviews. Remember…winter is coming and our feet will get drier, so have this in your arsenal for a little self-love Saturday here and there. See the Callus Remover Gel here. Infinite Shine – Prime and Gloss Prostay Duo by OPI Since we are talking a little about feet, let’s move to the nails. Many of us polish our own nails and toes, so let me share the product that I use that makes my polish stay for days and look salon “done”. I am an OPI fan and more than likely I will wearing an OPI or an ESSIE color, because in my opinion- they are the best for my 50+ nails. OPI has a combo called Prime and Gloss Prostay. Here’s how it works: You apply the primer on your nail first. This gives your nail a base coat and helps the polish adhere to your nail which gives you a gel look like you went to the nail salon. Use your favorite polish (OPI is what I have been using) and then add the Infinite Shine to keep your nails looking like you stepped out of a salon. Only you will know how much money you saved! And you will see time and money with this product. See the DUO here. Do you have a beauty product that is worth sharing? If so, drop a comment below, we would love to hear products that are making a difference in this process of aging. Thanks for stopping by the blog today and I hope you have a wonderful Friday!

Getting Fit After 50

Beverly — Sat, 25 Jul 2020 04:43:00 +0000

So many of you ask me what I am doing to stay fit, what type of exercising do I do, meal plans, and so much more – I decided to share with you a golden nugget that changed my life. Here is my story and how I came to learn about the best thing that ever happened to me health-wise. The exercise app I use and how my family is now a believer in the program! When I was younger I was more active, I was running around keeping up with kids, my schedule was jammed packed, and my metabolism seemed to be pumping harder and burning much better than it was at 45. So if you are 50 or older you can relate to this and if you are younger, this is something you may want to start addressing now. When I was 40, I was still very active, I was running at least 3 times a week and I felt like I was 20. At that time I was working 8-5 and working the gym into my schedule or some time at the park for a jog was no problem at all. What changed for me was at the age of 45. I took a job where I was traveling 80% of the time and I was sedentary most of the day. I took up bad eating habits and it wasn’t long before it started showing. I gained about 30 lbs. in a year and slowly I was losing muscle mass from sitting so much during the day. The Before & After Photo December 2018 (age 49) to July 2020 (age 51) I quickly jumped from a size 4/6 to a size 12 and it seemed almost impossible to lose those extra pounds. I had lost my routine of working out and I had lost the want or desire to exercise. By age 48 I was back home and decided I needed to think about me, my health and getting fit had to be a priority. Putting me first…had to be a priority! I lost a few pounds by cutting my food intake and walking or going to the gym a few times a week, but nothing actually helped me get the added pounds and fat off until I started FASTer Way To Fat Loss. I’ve told this story before, I was hesitant…very hesitant!! I did NOT want to spend any money on something that may not work. I did not want to waste money on something I may not follow through on. I just didn’t want to spend any money LOL! My thoughts were I could cut back on what I ate and I could drop some pounds on the scale and I would be happy. The problem was, I was almost 50, and skipping a few meals was not working for me like it did in my 20’s and 30’s! After seeing more and more blogger friends have success on this new “plan”, I decided to take the plunge and join. Putting in my credit card number as I was paying for this program was not easy for me ladies…I don’t like spending unless it’s something tangible that I can see or hold. After signing up, my thoughts were, would I follow through? Could I work this program and learn it? Did I have enough determination to actually do it? The first week was learning the program, I watched their live videos, I read all the materials and I was committing myself 100%! The following Monday we started as a group, we have accountability groups on Facebook and I had my own personal coach to help me along the way. The first few days I thought I was a total failure! I kept on though, I read the posts, the comments in my group, and by my second week I was catching a good groove. By the 3rd week, I had this baby nailed! I could do it! Around this time is when I noticed my stomach was MUCH flatter and I was losing inches! I was eating more food than I ever have in my life each day and I was losing fat! How does that work? This program taught me that I was eating the wrong foods and I was consuming too much of foods that were hurting my body. I eat foods that I like, I eat all the fruits that I like, meats that I like and vegetables that I like. I don’t eat sprouts of green, or “healthy” yucky food…I eat things I liked and because of this, it was easier for me to maintain and work the program. I needed more protein and fewer fats, I needed more carbs and fewer fats…yes, you heard me right…I eat CARBS! And a lot of them!! This program teaches you how to cycle your carb intake and you fast during certain hours of the day. This was the easiest thing for me! Have I stuck to it 100% of the time…Ummm, NO! I have messed up, I have gotten off course, but that was ok! Now at 51 years old, I am still using the skills that I learned and keeping the weight off. I’ve learned when I mess up, I start right back on it, I forget yesterday and look at what I can do today. I make myself be accountable to myself. I walk, I workout at home with the Open Fit App. (I love this and use it all the time, they have easy to harder workouts ranging from 10 – 30 minutes). My Husband Saw Results & My 78 Year-Old Mom Did Too! My husband saw the progress I was making and decided to give it a go. When he started this program and I was telling him how many carbs he needed to eat daily, he was convinced I was trying to get him fat HA! He, like me, could not conceive the thought that eating food could make you lose weight. This was totally against everything we had heard and learned throughout our lives. But guess what…he dropped from a size 38 waist to a size 34 and he is 60 years old! Yes, any age and any gender can do this! My mother, who is 78, was struggling with her weight and had been for a long time. She decided to give it a try, only for nutritional purposes. She is not very active but needed to lose weight and she was having a very hard time. She has now dropped 30 lbs and about 38 inches in fat! With no exercise ladies! It doesn’t matter what your activity level is and it doesn’t matter your age or gender – This works! If I can do it, my 78-year-old mom can do it, and my husband can do it and so many others do it and are successful…YOU can too! Join us Monday for our next round of FASTer Way To Fat Loss and start your healthy lifestyle and your slimmer life! Trust me, you won’t regret it…it’s by far the BEST thing I have ever done! I’m so glad I took the plunge and put my health first! I can’t wait to see where I end up now that I am working out more and building muscle. I know it is a work in progress, but you know what? I’m doing it one day at a time and I’m doing it for me! I’m doing it for my kids and my grandchild. I’m doing it because I want a great life 10-20 years from now! How about you?
