Don’t get me wrong, I love to indulge here and there when it comes to food, but for everyday living, I feel that it’s very important to treat my body in a healthily manner. Vitacost.com is one of my favorite online food destinations to get my pantry stocked up so I’m fueled and ready to face the day. See some of the items I insist on always having readily available. Starwest Botanicals Organic Spirulina Powder, $17.21 Spirulina tastes super salty and of the sea, but when used sparingly, you can’t even tell it’s there. It’s an algae that contains protein, vitamins, is considered to be an antioxidant, and is anti-inflammatory. Vitacost Vitamin D3, $11 Since I try not to be in the direct sun for too long and because...

Isn’t it amazing that athleisure wear is a whole thing now? This didn’t exist when I was younger. I’m pretty obsessed with it for a whole lot of reasons: It’s really comfortable, but super fashionable. People think I’m healthy…even if I’m on my way to get some macaroni and cheese and then some red velvet ice cream after. Athleisure wear is really cute and there are a ton of designers to choose from. You can dress it up or down. Again…it’s really comfortable. I was procrastinating doing some online research and came across these stylish pieces that I am going to snatch up as soon as I get paid!

  I had come across some stomach vacuum tutorials on YouTube and was so intrigued by them. You basically breath in deep, and then when you breathe out, you pull in your stomach as far in as you can, toward your spine. What’s funny is that they seem like a different version of a breathing exercise that I would have to do during my martial art classes. From my experience, breathing can really do wonders for great abs. You can feel that your core is getting a good workout. Plus, this is one workout you can do anywhere. No equipment needed, so no excuses! Get a quick workout in right now as you watch this video by K’s Perfect Fitness TV! ...

It seems that everyone on the internet has been touting the use of oils on the face, so obviously, at one point I had to try it. Now keep in mind that I have sensitive/combination skin, so my findings may be different from what you experienced or will experience. If you have different skin from me, it would probably be worthwhile for you to try the options that didn’t work for me just in case it’s something magical for you. Oil as Face Moisturizer From coconut oil to argan oil ($13), using straight oil as a moisturizer was not for me. Not only did I still have some dry patches, but I would break out in areas that I never broke out in. My face just doesn’t...

A breakfast smoothie sounds like a great way to start your day, doesn’t it? Fresh fruits and bright greens just make me feel healthy just thinking about it.

Check out some of these add-ins that you’re going to want to stock up your pantry and fridge with, to keep you satiated longer. Oats Ever notice how a bowl of hot oatmeal...
