The Healthy Life: Lemon Water

I have heard from many people that lemon water has some great health benefits.  I didnt really listen to them and then this morning I ran out of coffee and just so happen to pick up some lemon juice at the store the other day so I thought maybe I should try it and I am super happy I did.

 

The benefits are amazing and its a light and refreshing way to start your morning. I warmed mine up for only 30 seconds then threw in some lemon juice.. SO EASY!

 

Here are just a few health benefits:

 

1.Boosts your immune system... who doesnt need that!

 

2. Balances Ph

 

3.Helps with weight loss.. So this is a big thing for me and a huge benefit of drinking it .. this will become my new morning routine.

 

4.Aids in digestion... If you have problems with that let me tell you ... It will NOT be a problem after you drink this stuff.

 

5.Is a diuretic... nuff said.

 

6.Clears skin. Now I have kinda bad skin and have major breakouts so I am hoping that this will help with that.

 

You can find out more here about lemon water and more benefits.

 

So go grab a mug, water and lemon.

 

 

 



Quality time

This weekend was crazy again!! Sunday we were supposed to go grocery shopping and do the mundane stuff but instead we went to Laguna!!

 

I have a crazy obsession with Laguna. It is the place that I feel happiest. When we go there I just feel like nothing else matters. This is why I want to move there so bad. Wyatt and I have made a 5 year goal to move either to Laguna or Carlsbad. Wyatt wants to move to Carlsbad but even if I get closer to Laguna I will be happy.

 

 

Come on who wouldnt want to live there... It is GORGEOUS!!

5 Things you might not know about me

1. I went to Christian school for a huge chunk of my life.

 

2. I use pink staples on everything... yes even my work stuff...

3. I love watching my husband sleep.. it sounds creepy but he just looks so peaceful ( I am staring at him right now as I type this)

 

4. One of my favorite movies is Never Been Kissed...

 

5. I have one tattoo of a bow on the back of my neck and I have been itching to get another one sometime soon! I just need to figure out where I want it.

 

 

Invisible

Family is a touchy subject for me.. My mom is amazing and is always there to talk and super supportive with everything... She was the first of my family to find out about my tattoo. That says a lot. But my Dads side is so judgemental and if you don't do things the way they want you to do them or what they think is right then you are basically just a failure. I'm sure a lot of people have these same situations in family and it sucks. We went to a BBQ last night with my Dads side of the family and honestly Wyatt and I felt invisible. Any time we start to say something someone else talks over us and we never are respected. This has been this way for a while, my brother is always the one that they worship and me .. well I have always had different ideas than them and done things my own way. I  leave these family gatherings always feeling shitty and like I am nothing. I got the same BMW as my step sister and my dads wife just went on about how her daughters rims were bigger than mine. Everyone else is always better than me or has something better and I am left feeling invisible and insignificant.

 

Bottom line it stops today.

 

I am done with feeling like that around them and I am taking a break from them for a while. I have always been the black sheep of the family and that will never change.

 

But I refuse to be blatantly ignored when I talk or ask someone a question.

 

I have more self respect than that and just because I dont do everything the way they think I should does not mean that I am a horrible person.

 

My dad still does not know about my tattoo and I have been too scared to even tell him but I dont care anymore. I am my own person and I am breaking this cycle of  that side of the family and I will be my total self and be the way I am when im with my mom.

 

I dont need to carry their baggage and mean spirit with me so I choose NOW  to let it go.
