The Friday 5

By

Hi, guys! Happy Friday to you! 🙂

What a week. It was a bit hectic, but awesome at the same time. Monday was a holiday. School was cancelled for Mal on Tuesday (due to the cold). On Wednesday, some of our friends came to visit, and then we went to see a Damien Rice concert. (He was phenomenal – one of the best shows I’ve ever seen!) Yesterday, I woke up not knowing what day it was and a tad dehydrated from drinking too much wine and eating like a half bag of salt & vinegar chips. I’m finishing this post, bright (dark) and early, on Friday morning, and here we are just hours away from the weekend!

Since it’s Friday and all, I wanted to share my top 5 favorites from the week, so let’s get to it! 🙂

Fyre Festival – HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD ABOUT THIS? If you haven’t heard about the Fyre Festival yet, it’s truly a WTF. Just last week, two documentaries were release (by both Netflix and Hulu), which share details of the whole fiasco. The story is totally insane! Both documentaries are worth a watch!

Bombas Lightweight No Shows – I first discovered Bombas back in early 2015, and I’ve been a die-hard supporter ever since. Their socks are truly magical. They fit well, stay put, and last… for about 3 years, which, in the sock world, is a good long time. And, truthfully, I only had 8 pairs of their lightweight no shows, so they were in constant rotation during my weekly workouts – and they’re the ONLY socks I wear to work out because they do not slip around inside my sneakers at all. I figured with the recent KonMari obsession it might be good time to get rid of any not-so-awesome socks in your life and purchase ones that “spark joy!” 🙂

Seed Cycling for Hormone Balance – This is a great summary of seed cycling. Initially, I had great success with seed cycling, and I definitely think it helped with my transition off the pill, BUT it’s not a cure-all for hormonal issues. Basically, the seeds worked until they didn’t. Even still, I think they’re worth a try if you’re experiencing wacky hormones – if anything, you’ll get lots of healthy fats and fiber in your diet! 🙂

Also… hopefully, I don’t get eaten alive for saying this, but I’ve also had some incredible successful with celery juice. I know it’s insane and the guy who started the whole trend is a nut job, talking to sprits and all, but my mood, PMS symptoms, and skin has never been better!

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my recent celery juice habit, so I’ll share more details in the coming weeks. It’s only been a couple of months, so I want to make sure it’s legit before I write a blog post/make a video about my experience. But, of course, if you have questions in the meantime, please let me know!

FYI: Here’s the juicer that I recently purchased. It’s bad-ass and makes 16 ounces of celery juice in like 15 seconds and the pulp comes out nearly dry because it’s so efficient!

I should also add that I’m still taking CBD daily and using the Liver Detox System a couple of times a week, which I think helps as well, but I’m seeing even more improvements with regard to the symptoms mentioned above, specifically breast tenderness and acne, which I didn’t experience before starting the celery juice.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
