So as some of you may know, I am a complete health freak- from fitness and food to organization and  creating good habits. Lately I have been looking at new healthy habits to create, and I wanted to make a list to share with you:) Now a list of this size can be overwhelming, especially if you try to do it all at once (pro tip: DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pick out a few that you'd like to invest your time in, prioritize them, and slowly incorporate them into your routine;) ). Some of these are ones I do regularly, some I have just started, some I would like to do more regularly 😬 I'm not perfect, I mess up all the time, but the important part is to not become discouraged; if you have a bad day (or coughweekcough), you can't give up, you just gotta pick yourself up and have at it again;) Okay okay enough small talk, this is what you came here for: Drink Green Tea daily Wake up at a consistent time everyday (even on days off!) Go to bed on time Step away from the screens ...

Happy New Year!! (observed) 😉 Going into a new year, I always like to "year plan", as I call it- writing out my goals for the year, such as big ambitions as well as daily accomplishments. First I started out by writing out the "hard things" I wanted to incorporate/ do this year (more about "hard things" in another post). I then proceeded to write down what I wanted to focus on each month. January I really want to focus on my studies (two weeks till mid terms...) and get back into running. Also it was high time for me to get my license, as of right now I have just over one hour left of driving time, and thennnn finally I can get my license!! 😃 I also took a "spiritual growth assessment"- it shows you where you need to grow in your walk with Christ. I made a list afterwards of three ways I wanted to grow in each area (six areas total). Above are the ways I want to grow in Prayer, Bible (God's Word), Evangelism, Relationsh...

Hey there!:) So I loveeee fall: the crunchy leaves, the brilliant colors, the brisk air- it's just all so amazing! Fall means blankets and scarves, hot drinks and cuddles, rosy cheeks and frozen noses, boots and layered clothing. I mean, what is NOT to love about this beautiful season?! Since I love fall fashion so much (for sure one of my favorite seasons clothe wise), I decided to post part one of my fall wardrobe. These are my top picks!:)   This was actually my date night outfit;)   Maroon jacket and cognac riding boots  Army jacket, purple scarf, and gray fuzzy boots:) I got this jacket from a clearance rack for nine bucks!  I love the color of this Nike golf jacket (basically I use it as a windbreaker), I tied the bright green to my pink shoes with this cute scarf:)  Haha soo, I wasn't wearing my shoes in this picture😂 but I would have paired the dark blue plaid and yellow flower necklace with my cognac riding boots!   ...

Hey there! So I wanted to do a post about what I have in my "home gym", since I currently don't have an actual gym membership(hopefully that will be changing soon!). You don't even need any equipment to workout at home (i.e. Pilates), but if you want to get serious it definitely is helpful if you can't get to the gym, or if you just don't want to pay for a membership! Below is a picture of what I keep in my "home gym" (aka my room;)) : Bench (this is actually a piano bench, which currently functions as a chair at my vanity, and can also become a simple workout bench. Yes this is obviously very multipurposeful in my room!) Foam roller: this is a must for runners, or anyone who gets sore muscles! I used it for more than just rolling out my muscles, it can also function as a piece of "workout" equipment  Dumbbells: a type of weight, can be used for many, many, purposes. I have one 40 lbs, a pair of 20 lbs, and a pair of 15 lbs Kettle ...

So I was able to go up to see my school(and my sweet boyfriend:)) compete for 1st in the 1A district championships!! Because it was a late game, we spent the night up in Portland, and spent a majority of the next day exploring the Adidas HQ, and Pacific University!! Aka, my dreammmm college!:) It was so exciting to explore the campus, I even got a shirt! :D   Oh and we stopped at a little place for coffee, and I ordered a Matcha Latte :)) it was super yummy, not to mention beautiful:)  Anyways though, it was such a fun trip, so awesome to see my baby rock the championship game, which they won!!  Until next time, ~Hannah

Hey there:) So today's topic is about how to incorporate more greens(such as spinach, kale, lettuce, etc) into your diet. Eating a salad once or twice a day can become tedious to prepare, and let's be honest, kind of boring and bland for our taste buds. There are plenty of ways to make a salad taste GOOD and still be good for you! I like to call them "hearty" salads- these typically include other ingredients besides just vegetables, such as quinoa, black/ kidney beans, chicken/other lean meat, etc. These protein sources will not only add flavor and texture to the salad, they will actually fill you up. But sometimes preparing a good salad just doesn't happen- this could result from a time issue, or even because "I just don't want to make a salad". If I'm running short on time, there are super simple ways to "eat your greens" with out the meal even tasting like them! Below is a bowl of chili, just topped with a handful of greens! This ...

Do you think salads are the most boring and flavorless food ever? I will tell you how to make them so much yummier, with out adding hundreds of calories!! I personally lovee salads, when made correctly of course;) But there are those occasions I just do not want to eat my greens :/ However, knowing you don't have to fork down plain spinach can make eating a salad a much easier victory. One way, as most of us know, is to add a dressing. Unfortunately, that flavor can pack a calorie-loaded punch. But fear no longer! Here are some healthier alternatives to a typical salad dressing: Olive Oil: Okay, this one might not add much flavor, however it does supply the healthy fat you need, and will help bind the salad together Vinegar: Usually added with olive oil, there are varieties of flavors of vinegar, so go ahead and experiment to find your favorite! Cottage Cheese: Flavor, as well as protein boost! Just add a spoonful or two of cottage cheese to your salad, and not only will it b...
