Beginning the Everyday Road to Healthy

Self Care

Thank you so much for visiting our new blog, Everyday Road to Healthy!  We are so excited to share with you our research, findings and opinions on all things healthy and eco-friendly!

We have both unfortunately been closely affected by cancer in our lives and it has really driven us to take a look at our environment and what we are putting into our bodies.  What if there is a correlation?   Even if it is a small correlation, isn’t it worth the time and effort to change our lifestyles for the people we love?

But where do we start?

We know there are tons of books, articles and even other blogs on eating healthier and taking care of our environment, but sometimes the information can be so overwhelming.  We have also felt, in our own research, that there are so many things to try or change about our lifestyles that one just doesn’t know where to begin…

We are going to take an everyday approach and try to weed through all the advice and find out what is worth changing and what is affordable to change.  For example, going 100% organic can be expensive so we will try to figure out when it is best to go organic so we can all make small changes in our lives.  We will even compare our local farmers market and grocery store quality and price, to try and make this healthy change as affordable as possible.  But it’s so much more than the food we eat!  It’s the air we breathe and the products we use in everyday life.  We plan to dig in to all these topics.

But please keep in mind, this is not intended to be expert nutritional, medical or scientific advice, but rather our opinion on the many different aspects of becoming healthier from the inside out.  And we aren’t just sharing our journey with you, but rather we want you to take the journey with us!  Feel free to comment and make suggestions and let us know you are out there trekking along too.  We welcome any and all feedback.  We have so many ideas on things we want to check out and research but we always welcome new ideas!

So come back and see where we go next!

Coming up….healthy BUZZWORDS:  Organic – we hear and use it all the time but what does it really mean?

Cheers! It’s my first pumpkin spice latte of the Cheers! It’s my first pumpkin spice latte of the season! 🧡 Here’s how I cut down on calories when ordering:

✴️ order a tall instead of a grande (-80 cal)
✴️ hold the whipped cream (-70 cal)
✴️ swap out regular milk for non-fat milk (-50 cal)
✴️ reduce the pumps of syrup…I’m not a sugar-free syrup girl and I don’t think 1 less pump changes the flavor (-30 cal per pump)

I only indulge once, maybe twice a week, but these customizations keep me on track! My tall pumpkin spice latte comes in at 150 calories vs. 300 calories! 🧡

Laundry is a perpetual chore in my house. 🧺 Jus Laundry is a perpetual chore in my house. 🧺 Just when I think I'm finished with all the loads, more dirty clothes appear and it's time to start another load. Unfortunately my swap for today doesn't fix that 😆, but it does fix the need for a non-toxic, natural and affordable fabric softener. I'm no where near being 100% chemical-free in our house, but I've made swaps here and there that make me feel pretty good about the everyday changes I'm making to a healthier lifestyle. ⁠

For the month of September, I will be donating pro For the month of September, I will be donating proceeds from all my Beautycounter sales (plus a match by my company Ashburn Accounting) to MIB Agents, a pediatric osteosarcoma nonprofit, in memory of Deena’s son, Owen, who lost his cancer battle in 2012 at the age of 16. 

From 9/5-9/14, I will host a virtual pop-up on our ✨Clean Beauty by Erth✨ Facebook group page where I will do some concentrated posts about Beautycounter, as well as hold a raffle for free products. If you or someone you know has wanted to try clean skincare or learn more about Beautycounter, please join the page before Sep 5th by going to the link in our profile @everydayroadtohealthy or message me about joining. You can also just order directly from me through my personal link from 9/1/23-9/30/23 and any proceeds I make during the whole month of September will be donated.

Thanks for helping me give to something that means a lot to me!

Hi 👋 I’m Angela. Welcome to my everyday road Hi 👋 I’m Angela. Welcome to my everyday road to a healthy-ish lifestyle! 😆 

I will be the big 5-0 next year 🎉 and I really want to be in better shape by the time I get there. Most days I *think* about exercising, but I’m constantly sabotaging my own efforts. My biggest problem is I don’t prioritize my exercise time. I tried adding it as a meeting on my calendar, but I know it’s a “flexible” meeting so I’m always cutting into that time, to the point where I tell myself I no longer have the time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And if I sit down at my desk in the morning and start checking work emails, the probability that I’ll fit in a workout goes down exponentially.

Today I chose not to sit down at my desk right away. Instead, I saw my kid off to school then went straight to the gym. Everything else waited until I got home, and the rest of the day I was able to focus without feeling guilty that I had not worked out. 

Today was just one day. I don’t know if it will stick, but I hope it does. I feel better about this plan than any other I have tried. It feels sustainable. 💪🏼

How about you? How do you make sure you fit in time for your health? How do you motivate yourself?

I’m not getting any younger, and neither is my s I’m not getting any younger, and neither is my skin. The dry and spotty mature skin struggle is real. But I am convinced this PM routine that I do every other night, along with my daily AM vitamin C serum,  helped me with my melasma. 

Every other night I use:

✅Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm
✅Reflect Effect Overnight Resurfacing Peel (the piece de resistance)
✅All Bright Brightening Facial Oil 

And don’t forget daily C Serum and sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen.
