Loving myself more at thirty than I did in most of my twenties.

I hope each and every one of you get to experience what it's like to truly be comfortable in the person you are. It makes life a whole lot more amazing ❤️

"I never know what to eat or prep" -- I hear this ALL the time. And I get it, because I used to think the same thing. Here's my 3 biggest tips for figuring out what healthy meals to make and prep!

1️⃣ Protein, veggie, carb. Literally that simple. Pick one of each, and BOOM you got a meal. Chicken seasoned with salt and pepper, frozen broccoli, quinoa. Ground beef, peppers, rice. Tilapia, frozen snap peas, pasta. Don't overcomplicate it! Season your protein with salt and pepper, and go easy on yourself by using bags of frozen veggies!

2️⃣ Invest in a meal kit service. Ry and I have been using Home Chef for a few weeks and are obsessed. We pick the meals we want each week, and everything comes portioned out to our door. Plus it's about the same price as it would be to go get all the ingredients individually, but saves me time of not having to make a list or actually go to the store.

3️⃣ Make meals in bulk. Make a big pot of chili on Sunday and eat it for lunch throughout the week. Grill a bunch of chicken at the beginning of the week, and add it to salads for lunch each day. Make a big thing of eggs, portion it out, and stick it in the fridge for a quick breakfast each morning. Work smarter not harder!

Save this post so you always have these tips when you can't think of what to eat or prep!

There have been times in life where I didn't even think I would make it to 30. So we are celebrating big today!!

This is the face of a girl who has stage 4 cancer.

It's been over a year since I woke up without being in pain.

I was diagnosed at 21 and told at 25 that I would never be able to carry a child.

But you wouldn't know any of that just by looking at me.

Because I CHOOSE to live each day in the present with a smile on my face.

So often we judge others based on what we see on the outside, when we have absolutely no idea what's happening on the inside.

What if we stopped passing out insecurities onto others as judgement. What if we worked on being kinder each day.

What if we made America kind again ❤️
