Shop Small & Support Local this Holiday Season

ERTH Finds

This past year has been challenging for everyone. It has been an extreme reminder on how grateful we should be for family, friends, colleagues and community. How important it is to be there for one another when and how we can.

This year has been heart-wrenching for me. When I’m not helping Angela with the Everyday Road to Healthy website, I’m busy working my day job in the Tourism and Travel industry. An industry that has been devastated this past year. I know most people think of airlines, hotels, and exotic places when they think of Tourism. However that is only part of the view – many of our local small business rely on tourism also.

Many of the small businesses I work with, have had to close or alter operations in order to assist in easing the spread of Covid-19. Some of them may not reopen. So how can we help those local shops are valiantly trying to persevere? By supporting them this holiday season.

Small businesses are the heart of our communities. They have pivoted during this pandemic to be there when we’ve needed them. They have implemented online ordering, curbside pickups, virtual classes & performances – you can even get cocktails delivered directly to your door these days (YAY!).

So here are some ideas on how we can all support small businesses this year:

  • Purchase gift cards or products online
  • Order a meal kit to-go or delivery from your favorite dining spots
  • Support the Arts by signing up to view performances online
  • Ship someone on your gift list your favorite bottle of wine, craft beer or spirits from local beverage producers
  • Take up a new hobby or fitness plan with virtual classes
  • Shop artisan shops online for unique one of a kind gifts
  • Share the things you love on social media – word of mouth is invaluable to small businesses

Small businesses have been scrappy, innovative and resilient these past few months. Please remind them how much we need and love them – shop small and local this holiday season.

I was telling some friends last night about my usu I was telling some friends last night about my usual  breakfast, why I make it every day (makes meal tracking easier) and how I boost the protein (1-2 egg whites depending on my mood), and it inspired me to make a reel. 🤷🏻‍♀️
✅Add steel cut quick oats & water, measured based on package directions, to a large bowl big enough to allow for expansion during cooking (I’ve made a very messy mistake before!)
✅Add 1 or 2 egg whites
✅Whisk to break up the egg whites, unless you REALLY like large chunks of eggs in your oatmeal 😬
✅Add a dash of salt, optional
✅Microwave according to directions
✅Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a splash of maple syrup
Other add-ins: berries, bananas, honey, protein powder

Made with 2 egg whites, this packs a ~13.5g protein punch. When I combine with my collagen protein powder in my coffee, I’m at ~30g protein for breakfast! 💪🏼

I use @myfitnesspal to track so I can either pre-fill my breakfast all week. Or just copy from day to day. Easy peasy!

So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Bran So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Brand Advocate. Mainly I did it because I was already finding a lot of products I liked, and becoming a consultant offered some perks to support my habit! 🤷🏻‍♀️ But also the more I dug into the brand, the more I realized how in line it was with the lifestyle I’m trying to live. The clean ratings for the Beautycounter line is always high (check out EWG) so I feel good about using it on my skin. BUT I’m not a salesperson, I don’t ever want my friends to feel pressured to buy anything I’m “selling”, and I really don’t have time to wear another hat in my life 😜. So if you happen to discover the line on your own and are interested in buying a product or 2 to try, send me a message or go to my page at beautycounter.com/angelafuentes. But otherwise, my plan is to not do much promoting. I’ll just be here if you need me ☺️.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🪅 Here’s the mocktail mi Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🪅 Here’s the mocktail mix I made tonight to boost my festive taco dinner. 🌮 The mix definitely needs a little tartness, so don’t forget the splash of lime juice and club soda in each glass before serving. Salud! 🪅

Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., it is also one of the most preventable. Take these steps to lower your risk:
☀️Seek shade, especially during the hours of 10am-4pm when the sun is the strongest.
☀️Use physical barriers to protect your skin (clothing, hats, umbrellas, sunglasses).
☀️Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 15 or more, every day. Apply 1 ounce to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating.
☀️Swipe to see 2 of my favorite sunscreen brands, @supergoop and @beautycounter . Supergoop has an EWG rating of 2 ✅ and Beautycounter is EWG Verified (highest rating)✅. 

☀️Stay healthy! 🕶️
