The holidays are just around the corner! Creative decorations illuminate the neighborhood, festive music is playing everywhere, and all our favorite Christmas movies are here to enjoy with a warm mug of hot cocoa.
One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is choosing gifts for my friends and family to share the love, and one of my favorite stores is Macy’s! I’ve gone there ever since I was a child with my Mom and have such fond memories. They have a myriad of items and great sales.

Fur Baby Love
Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” George Eliot
Being a pet parent never ceases to bring me joy! Our pets are part of our families, and we are grateful to have found one another.
In my furbaby searches, I recently came across The Goody Pet, and I’m loving their interesting articles and reviews all about pups.
I’d heard about Teddy Bear Pomeranians, which resemble a small bear, but really didn’t know much about them until I read the article on their site.
If you’re looking for a group of dedicated pet lovers hoping to give back to the community with their knowledge on pets, check out The Goody Pet!

Win 2 tickets to see Spirit Untamed – In Theaters June 4!
Today I got the chance to pre-screen Spirit Untamed. It’s truly an epic adventure the whole family will love about a strong-willed girl searching for a place she truly belongs. She discovers a kindred spirit in a wild horse and comes to some amazing realizations.
Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation.
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Dreamworks.
Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier. Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.
Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father. When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected.
Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise that began with the 2002 Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron and includes an Emmy-winning TV series. The film is directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is produced by Karen Foster (co-producer, How to Train Your Dragon). The film’s co-director is Ennio Torresan (head of story, The Boss Baby), and the film’s score is by composer Amie Doherty (Amazon’s Undone, DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned).

Always Eat After 7 PM – Conclusions
This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.
Now that I’ve been following the Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion over the past month, I wanted to share some thoughts with you.
Health and wellness are my priority and this program really seems to be helping me. It supports my immune system and I’m having less fatigue and pain from fibromyalgia. I am able to do more, have more energy, feel balanced and am more in tune with my overall wellbeing. I’m even sleeping better which was one of my main goals!
I love that Always Eat After 7 PM is based on tried and true research and the author’s personal experience. There’s a wealth of information and recipes that makes this one of the most-referenced and beloved books on my shelf.
For me this book has been very affirming as it supports ways of eating that are more natural and more healthful to me, and, because of this, I’ll be sticking with this ‘rule-breaking’ diet and continuing to explore new foods and trying more of the recipe ideas. Let’s face it, we stay with things we love!
From the book:
Fact is, most diets are extremely narrow with regard to food choices and variety, and many even limit entire macronutrients altogether over the course of the entire program (think low-carb and low-fat diets). Three months with no carbs? No thanks. Such practices not only are entirely unnecessary, but make for a miserable, unsustainable experience.
A Votre Santé, my friends! Here’s to your health.

Always Eat After 7 PM Update 2
This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.
When I started following the Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion, some of my goals were to increase my energy, fortify my immune system and get better sleep.
After about a week, I really started noticing considerable progress! I’ve been interested in Intermittent Fasting and love that this book teaches me how to do it correctly and in ways that will most benefit my health. I begin the day as suggested with a cup of hot water with lemon juice. It boosts my metabolism, helps my digestion, is an anti-inflammatory and also helps support my immune system. From the book:
One of the simplest 3-Minute Fat-Burning Morning Rituals, lemon water is a glass of water mixed with the juice of one half of a lemon. This drink provides all the benefits of regular drinking water, which supports weight loss, digestive health, physical performance, and cognitive function.
And also, regarding the benefits of intermittent fasting:
Intermittent fasting really shines when it comes to improving the hormones that directly affect your hunger, blood sugar, and metabolism. One is insulin. IF combats insulin resistance, meaning that it helps your body use insulin more normally, thereby lowering your diabetes risk and boosting your metabolism.
I have been noticing that I have more energy for both work and for my family and friends. I feel more calm and feel healthier and am truly enjoying the food lists and the wealth of delicious recipe ideas this book provides.
My new favorite is the Chili Loaded Baked Potato. If you’re wondering how that can be healthy as I was, it’s actually a perfect combo of macronutrients which help stabilize blood sugar and regulate your cortisol cycle which keeps your body in fat burning mode. Combining the protein, carbs and fiber helps increase energy levels without the normal higher carb meal crash.
The No Bake Salted Caramel Bars are truly delicious also! I love making them ahead of time and keeping extras in the freezer when I want a treat after dinner or even before bed.
With such delicious food choices and without impossible restrictions, I definitely feel that Joel Marion’s Always Eat After 7PM program makes dieting easy and eliminates 90% of reasons for resistance. If you find something you love, you just naturally want to stick with it. With more energy and better sleep, I’m definitely sticking with it. The program also seems to follow my natural biorhythms.
Bestselling author, Joel Marion, is a fitness expert and nutritionist debunking the myths underlying traditional dieting and offers a simple, highly effective weight loss program.Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion is now available to purchase.

Traffic Secrets by Russell Brunson: How to Reach Your Dream Customers
This post is brought to you by our sponsor, Traffic Secrets by Russell Brunson. The opinions expressed below are my own.
Did you know that it’s not just about creating a fantastic product or meaningful content? Sure, that’s important; but, it’s not true that if you ‘just build it, they will come’ to your website. It’s about identifying your dream customer at a deep level and then helping them easily find you so that you can help them. I’m learning this and more from Russell Brunson’s new book Traffic Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Filling Your Websites and Funnels with Your Dream Customers. As Russell says: “Waiting for people to come to you is not a strategy.” You could have the best product or website in the world, but, that doesn’t mean people will be able to find you.
Russell Brunson is a Best-Selling Author & CEO of the $100M software company ClickFunnels and has a following of over a million entrepreneurs. He has sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books and made the concept of sales funnels popular. In 2014, Russell and his partner Todd Dickerson launched ClickFunnels, which has become the fastest-growing non-venture backed software company in the world.
I’m taking the Traffic Secrets’ 30-day challenge. Seriously, this book rocks! It’s been just over a week and I can already see how the insights I’m gaining can allow me to be at the front of new trends and identify incredible opportunities. I’m learning how to master evergreen traffic strategies to fill my website and funnels with my dream customers.
Here’s a short video from Russell as to why his book Traffic Secrets is truly different and how it can help you.
As a holistic health therapist, my goal has always been helping others with overall wellbeing. This means balance in all areas: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I seek to bring important content to my followers about overall balance. In this area, I am also working on a product with my closest friend and this is something that we will want to introduce soon as well. I’m excited about it as it can help so many.
I have learned so much from Russell Brunson’s book. It not only provides practical, step-by-step information and exercises for the reader, but also gives me insight into psychology and human nature. It has helped me truly understand my dream customer, find out where they hang out and find ways to get their attention and bring them in so I can help them.
You can follow my progress on Twitter where I’ll be posting daily.
