Valentine’s Day French Toast: Another random recipe!

  If you read my Pumpkin Spice French Toast recipe from Halloween, you know that this is going to be another random idea that I came up with (maybe one day I’ll plan these).  Today’s recipe features the berry flavored nutrition powder from Orgain. It’s full of probiotics and superfoods, and you can order it here  and use code ‘ gorjessnfit ’ for 30% off your first order. Other ingredients include: All of these are mixed together in a bowl, and then I take a slice of whole grain bread and soak it in the mixture for about a minute before putting it in the oven to broil at 525 degrees (Fahrenheit). The strawberries were on top of the toast when broiled, and the bananas were added afterwards. * Affiliate Disclosure * This post contains a link and I may earn a commission (at no extra cost to you) if you choose to purchase a product through the link.

Random Pumpkin Spice French Toast Recipe featuring Orgain

  Image from Orgain.com I was feeling festive this morning for Halloween, so I put a spin on my usual breakfast: omelette and French toast.  The omelette was made the same way (greens, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, etc.), but I also decided to make Pumpkin Spice French toast instead of this week’s berry French toast. If you know my recipes, they’re always random and never measured, so in a bowl I combined: Oat milk 2 pods of pumpkin spice coffee creamer 1 scoop of Pumpkin Spice protein powder from Orgain®️ 1 scoop of Antioxidant Fruit & Fiber powder from Better Body Foods Cinnamon Ginger Nutmeg And then I soaked four pieces of multi-grain bread into the mixed and broiled them in the oven (525F) for about eight minutes. Then I topped one slice with butter and syrup, and topped another slice with berries, syrup, and whipped cream.

Cycle Syncing Part 1: Menstrual Phase

  I’ve always had an interest in nutrition and wellness, so when I discovered cycle syncing from Nicole Bendayan , I was intrigued.  I had no idea that what I ate affected and even how I exercised is influenced by my cycle!  So for the past few months I’ve been trying to be more intentional with the way I eat and my workouts. Today is Day 3, so the Menstrual Phase is coming to an end for me. Here’s what I’ve been eating the past two days: For breakfast I’ve been eating a sausage, spinach, onion, and mushroom omelette and (baked) blueberry French toast. I’m not a morning tea drinker, so I brew this raspberry leaf tea with my coffee, and then I add Coffee Over Cardio’s Blueberry Donut Hydrate and Dreamy Hot Fudge Creamer. The Hydrate is great to add to your coffee if you feel like you don’t drink enough water, and the Creamer includes MCT Oil— which I find really helps me focus throughout the day. For lunch I made wild rice, chicken, and kidney beans. I also brew Yogi Tea’...
Rose Hair Clay Mask Rose clay is very mild and gentle enough for dry skin. Also known as pink Kaolin clay, it’s color comes from the iron oxides in the clay.  This clay draws out toxins and impurities in the skin and hair. For my hair, I mix it with apple cider vinegar and essential oils (clary sage, rosemary, tea tree, and peppermint). I leave it on my hair for about 20 minutes and then rinse it off. Ingredients : Rose Clay Apple Cider Vinegar Clary Sage Oil Rosemary Oil Tea Tree Oil Peppermint Oil 🎥YouTube:  https://youtu.be/9XkdJjFRp80

July Hair Care

(This post is NOT sponsored by Maui Moisture) This month's brand is Maui Moisture. This brand is perfect for summer, as its name does not lie. So. Much. MOISTURE!! Every product's first ingredient is Aloe Vera Juice. By itself, this particular item doesn't moisturize my hair, but man. In Maui Moisture's products, it's A-MAY-ZING. Below I have listed which products I've used/am using and how I'd rate them on a scale from 1-5. Nourish & Moisture + Coconut Milk Shampoo : I'd give about a 3/5 . One major thing I look for in a shampoo is detangling abilities. Moisture, not so much because my hair is super thick and products stripping my hair isn't too much of a concern, as well as the fact that I will be replenishing that moisture with a conditioner. Plus, if the shampoo is detangling, odds are it's also moisturizing because moisture helps with detangling. This shampoo is very moisturizing, but not enough to detangle my hair. It also do...
