It got to me and I started cutting out things to give myself more time to rest. It just so happened the thing I cut was my work out time. Same goes for when I started my last job. The company had a personal trainer come in twice a week that I took full advantage of. However, travel picked up and I was on and off a plane 13 times last year. https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/dailyprotein monthly 0.5 2020-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598578835337-QIKEG1TS4NF005LNF449/0-1.jpg Wellness - Deciding on Daily Protein - There is such a variety of protein powders out there now, it’s hard to keep track of them all! At the beginning of 2019, I read Kelly LeVeque’s book Body Love and learned so much about balancing food. Her fab four smoothie recipe, which includes greens, is the first one I attempted. It did not disappoint. I drank a smoothie a day for around 4 months, took a small break due to work travel and then started up again. I’ve heard people say they drink it because they should or it’s healthy, but contrary to popular belief, it can actually taste good! It’s all about the ingredients! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598578917354-B0P4L1L00VIUOCU5ONXY/0.jpg Wellness - Deciding on Daily Protein - Then, I found out about Perfect Bars – thanks to Danielle Pascente! I literally eat one every morning. They are refrigerated protein bars that are made with 20+ superfoods, organic honey, peanut butter or almond butter and whole food protein. Each bar has 15g of protein! My staple flavors are peanut butter, dark chocolate chip peanut butter and coconut peanut butter. Wait – there’s more! They also have perfect bites (bite size pieces instead of a bar) for an afternoon snack OR newest on the docket are their peanut butter cups. The dark chocolate sea salt is my favorite and you still get 7g of protein from eating chocolate peanut butter cups. Does it get any better?! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598666314105-BDUTUZ8CWMR5BLOR7402/0-2.jpg Wellness - Deciding on Daily Protein https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/category/protein monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/category/Wellness monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/ProteinPowder monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/Movement monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/ToneItUp monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/ProteinBar monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/BodyLove monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/Coconut monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/PrimalKitchen monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/Protein monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/PerfectBar monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/CashewButter monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/Mindset monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/DarkChocolate monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/PeanutButter monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/AlmondButter monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/wellness/tag/Fitness monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/fashion daily 0.75 2020-09-16 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/fashion/americaneagletryon monthly 0.5 2020-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1600288254109-0B517HD7MA8WOEB8U4FG/1-2.jpg Fashion - American Eagle Try-On https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1600288283641-PXNE2XNPVXLMKQ0K5V8F/1-1.jpg Fashion - American Eagle Try-On https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1600288303403-QU89YBQAKGDHYXJ3QXEI/1-3.jpg Fashion - American Eagle Try-On https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1600288331092-EZ2VHK7HUR29YVYC9M2K/1.jpg Fashion - American Eagle Try-On https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/fashion/earrings monthly 0.5 2020-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598638588879-N532XYMLSD0P96FYAH8Q/0-9.jpg Fashion - Earrings, Please The pink and black cubed earrings are from Kate Spade. The top right silver and black studs are from a small boutique in Asheville, NC. The other three are from Target! All were under $40 and I wear them all the time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598755064249-9Z8W1I4CZ4YG3RPU47PB/0-1.jpg Fashion - Earrings, Please - Olive and Piper has become one of my favorites! Their designs are timeless and the quality is fantastic. I love that I can dress their pieces up for a special night out or down for an every day look. They even have wedding pieces! They also make great gifts! I bought my mom one of their necklaces last year and she loves it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598755586853-L18QNBOCSZAHKNO6ZXP4/0-2.jpg Fashion - Earrings, Please https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598755285408-LOHF7LMIMIO3XF77IKYE/0-5.jpg Fashion - Earrings, Please - I’ve been a Kendra Scott fan for years! I basically have enough of her jewelry to start a small boutique! Jokes aside, there is a reason I love her items. Not only has she built a solid brand BUT her items are classics that won’t go out of style. Here are just a few of my top dangle style earrings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598755659644-XJA7FBCK5V6VU8JD96RW/0-4.jpg Fashion - Earrings, Please https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598755352550-DWLHK6VFB7ZYP5VMV1WA/0-7.jpg Fashion - Earrings, Please https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598639679831-NEDETLQ3F00D4IDCSRJY/0-3.jpg Fashion - Earrings, Please - Last but not least, these earrings are from a boutique in Buda called The Mercantile at Mill + Grain. I was gifted these by a dear friend for my birthday but I love this boutique.

I just felt like I “needed it” to go out in public. I’m pretty sure that stemmed from what society told me I needed to look like as a young woman, but I call bullshit. It wasn’t until my thirtieth year that I realized I didn’t need to please other people who may or may not be looking my way. Now I must admit this mentality started shifting a few years ago. I would put on a hat and run errands with dirty hair and a sweatshirt on (which I would have never done in my early twenties). BUT I still did my make-up! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1602001134883-Y2MWQHS8MHMVTTIQPNTI/1.jpg Beauty - PM Skincare Routine - The reason I started out with the above information is because I’m about to talk through my 4 nighttime products which all happen to be Tula. Currently, Tula is doing an #embraceyourskin initiative to inspire and empower everyone to feel confident in their skin. This is not an ad - I just truly love their products and have seen a change in my skin which has given me the extra boost to go out in public without any make-up on. https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/makeupforsensitiveskin monthly 0.5 2020-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1601393789433-HJLVVXYD5DUFL091BJZM/1-3.jpg Beauty - Make-Up Products for Sensitive Skin - Speaking of, I first learned about IT Cosmetics when Founder, Jamie Kern Lima spoke at RISE in Dallas last year. They were giving all attendees a free CC Cream and it was a game changer. They had consultants there to help pick your shade and then gave you a full-size product. I don’t use much foundation, so I actually just finished that first cream. It’s an amazing product! I ended up getting the Bye Bye Under Eye and Bye Bye Pores Illumination setting powder as well. I use all three items daily and, on those days, where I don’t want to do a full make-up look, I use a little under eye and setting powder and voila! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1601393903001-5UH0QKFFIR5O7HB7U7Q2/1-5.jpg Beauty - Make-Up Products for Sensitive Skin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1601393902433-4G632H1Q2XLDYBNY8GCG/1-2.jpg Beauty - Make-Up Products for Sensitive Skin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1601393902251-90VCI7ANFCU10ZUX49H2/1-1.jpg Beauty - Make-Up Products for Sensitive Skin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1601393903049-R21BM5ZQ29NNQ2VDCVKB/1-4.jpg Beauty - Make-Up Products for Sensitive Skin https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/favoritehairproducts monthly 0.5 2020-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598575569873-CYVUKJ2YXOTA996BBQ0S/0-1.jpg Beauty - Favorite Hair Products https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598575614586-P4Y31M0HZQVQG70LB4KI/0-2.jpg Beauty - Favorite Hair Products https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598575636198-CMFPS0DLKZKVR08E83I4/0.jpg Beauty - Favorite Hair Products https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/topfiveskincareproducts-sensitiveskin monthly 0.5 2020-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598755994184-5DFPARY2TQTRA7H6TPET/0-4.jpg Beauty - Top Five Skincare Products for Sensitive Skin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598756013840-MDKJY8LC8IJXOA7L5YX4/0-5.jpg Beauty - Top Five Skincare Products for Sensitive Skin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598573709049-12XV3CZB9HXAOFQVUH5B/0.jpg Beauty - Top Five Skincare Products for Sensitive Skin https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/category/Beauty monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/category/Hair monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/tula monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/Beauty monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/PMskincareroutine monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/skincare monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/texture monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/Acne monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/MakeUp monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/Skincare monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/target monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/%23embraceyourskin monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/hairproducts monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/Tula monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/IT+Cosmetics monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/hair monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/cerave monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/sgxnyc monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/ouai monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/kristiness monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/Tarte+Cosmetics monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/SensitiveSkin monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/beauty/tag/beautycounter monthly 0.5 https://www.thechampagneoflife.com/home daily 1.0 2020-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598893676381-HB4JJEATY4GHR4VCXXXV/0-10.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598823485576-5ZEDBTLLDQJC2DSV1BUN/0-7.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31ce638b6d8b4eabae77c0/1598823569056-7FT198D2UGHQ8G0HK02X/0-1.jpg Home
