So let's get the celebration begin 😂

The lockdown has made us miss many things.

We all miss going to the pub, not to mention being able to get into the supermarket without having to queue for 20 minutes - but there are some unexpected things we've found ourselves feeling without.

Since the government introduced lockdown measures on March 23, many of us have found our way of life to have changed completely.

Busy streets ordinarily packed with people are so empty they resemble scenes from post-apocalyptic films, while the roads are eerily deserted and booming pubs and clubs have shut their doors.

There might be various things we are missing like going to the gym, visiting family, commuting to work, actually going to work, being home alone, popping to the shops and much more.
Let's just appreciate every day whatever big or little happiness it brings!

Thank you to all our heros. Stay safe, stay home 💚❤️💚

Stay at home VE Day
Victory in Europe Day - also known as VE Day - celebrates the Allied Forces accepting the Nazi’s unconditional surrender from World War 2. The final document was signed on 8 May 1945. Today, countries throughout the world celebrate VE Day annually, on either 8 or 9 May.

Welcome to Day 1 of your journey! Did you know that without protein, our bodies wouldn’t function properly? No wonder health and fitness experts stress the importance of protein so much! But WHERE you get your protein can be just as important as making sure you have enough. Arbonne uses pea protein in all their products because it’s one of the best vegan, soy-free, and dairy-free protein sources available.

I finally found one that makes my tummy happy and full.

Between our phones, tablets, laptops, and televisions, some form of screen time is happening almost 24/7. That's why it's become more imperative than ever for us to unplug and head out into the great outdoors. Getting out into nature doesn't have to be a big event. We found this beauty on our walk today and it's just round the corner. 🌲🌲🌲

Finally I made my own home made dandelion syrup! So delicious 🍯

Everywhere that I turn, dandelions are popping up out of the ground. Many find them a nuisance, thinking they are just weeds, but dandelions are a wonderfully nutritious herb! Rich in vitamins and minerals, dandelions are known for not just for their medicinal properties, but also their delicious taste in salads, cookies, and syrups.

Time to be creative.

Being in Quarantine certainly isn't helping my WEIGHT! When I finally stepped on my weighting scale this morning I nearly fainted! That's it.... You've put on some pounds too? It happens. And it's okay. So often we're bombarded with things we must start to do to lose weight stat. But what about all the things you're already doing that may be adding to the problem? Are you one of these? Look at the list of things you might be adding to your problem. It's a good idea not to do when you've gained weight. 🍓Don't Start Skipping Meals ( swap for healthy meal instead)
🥕Don't Mentally Punish Yourself
🍌Don't Spend a Ton on New Clothes
🍉Don't Obsessively Weigh Yourself....(this is me! I do this all the time)😂
🥑Don't Over-Exercise
🥝Don't Try a Fad Diet
🍊Don't Ignore Your Hunger Cues (pick healthier option)
🥥Don't Focus On What You Can't Eat (otherwise you are more likely to fail)
🥦Don't Call It Quits and Accept Your Weight Gain
(Stay empowered by setting small, attainable goals). I'm swapping my unhealthy snacks and binge drinking to the better me, gaining more energy and having more quality sleep! Let's start🔥🔥🔥 .

Taking your digestion plus first thing in the morning on an empty stomach can help to calm your digestive system for the day. It repopulates your gut with those beneficial bacteria and prepares your gut to start its job!

Today has been a wonderful day celebrating with my lovely friend Wendy Griffith achieving her promotion to the 3rd of 4 levels in Arbonne.

Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic”

I love that quote! It totally reminds me that we should never sell ourselves short in life. We should never assume we are not capable of achieving greatness because we are. Every one of us is capable of achieving so much more than we ever give ourselves credit for.

It always gives me a boost to remember that I can accomplish anything that I set my heart and mind to do as Wendy did.

I’m so proud to be part of the team building my business up
