How to: Stress Less!

Are you stressed?

Chances are if you aren't stressed now, you were or you will be. Stress is abundant in today's fast-paced world. How can you reduce stress? I'm definitely an expert on being stressed so here are some things that have helped me and I hope to implement even more.


  • Don't overbook yourself! If you feel obliged to do this, go to that, volunteer, work overtime, and still find time for yourself, you will undoubtedly feel stressed. Keep this in mind when you agree to things and remember it's okay to say no!
  • Keep a planner or journal. For many people time management or finances are big causes of stress. These  things can be documented and managed well in a journal or planner. You could also use a journal for writing down feelings and that can make you feel less stressed as well. 
  • Talk to someone. If you have a friend or family member that you're comfortable talking with, sometimes this can help you to get some perspective. Maybe what you're stressed about is not really that big of a deal.
  • Ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it! This is so key because having help in whatever you're doing can help you with your time and also feeling less pressure. 
  • Make time to relax, really relax. Don't just sit on Facebook or on your phone, really make an effort to relax completely. That may be a bubble bath, coloring, walking your dog, yoga, etc. 
There are a lot of unhealthy ways to cope with stress that seem to come more naturally so I think it's important to make a conscious effort to find healthy ways to cope with stress that will inevitably come.

Product Review: Tru Fru

If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with
