1) NUTRITION
Do you ever find yourself in line at your favorite coffee shop, eyeing the treats in the display?
Snacking on baked goods like those can be detrimental to your healthy diets. Once and a while as a treat, yes, but everyday as your snack, no!
A great tip is to pre package your snacks.
I always tell my clients to fall in love with snack sized Tupperware.
On shopping days choose your snacks for the week, when you get home immediately section your treats into your snack sized Tupperware and store your snacks for the week in the cupboard or the fridge.
That way in the morning on your way out the door, if you don’t have time to pack a lunch, in the very least you can grab your snacks and toss them in your bag.
So when you are standing in line for your Starbucks, you know you are going to enjoy your pre packed healthy Shasha cookies with your coffee, not that chocolate chip cookie in the display!
Preparation conquers temptation!

Sleeping Tips: 1 in 7 are effected with sleeping problems, be it not being able to get to sleep or stay a sleep. Before you are prescribed with any sleeping pills consider trying the following.
Sleeping Tips
1- Make sure your bed, mattress and pillow are high quality, its no good waking up with a cramp in your back or sore neck.
2- Try to create a sleep routine, by going to bed and getting up at the same time every day. Make the time before sleep a time of piece and quiet, find a routine that relaxes you.
3-Only use the bed for sleep…Do not read in bed, watch tv or do homework
4- When you lay down at night. Breath Deeply Close your eyes, and try taking deep, slow breaths, making each breath even deeper than the last.
5- Give yourself 20 minutes to fall asleep. If you haven’t fallen asleep, get up and go back to bed when you are feeling sleepy
6- Exercise…Aside from many other wonderful mental and physical health benefits, regular exercise can also make it easier to fall asleep and sleep better.
Developing a bedtime routine, creating a better sleep environment, managing following a sleep schedule, and taking better care of your body all set the tone for getting quality rest every night.
