Here's a peak into some daily Inspiration for a healthy and balanced lifestyle

Smoothie pro tip 💎 when you add blue berries in as a topping they get ever so slightly frozen and add the perfect texture when paired with granola! • I bought the blueberries (and all the other fruit/vegtables in the smoothie) at my local farm stand @geraldsonsfamilyfarm • The granola was from @purely_elizabeth and I added in a few more sunflower seeds because texture is life 😂 • Smoothies are my favorite way to start my morning. It's like a creative project that I can eat...🤙🏻 • What's your favorite breakfast? • • • #bestmealoftheday #breakfasttime☕️ #foodblogger #eeeeeats #microblogpost #essentialistlifestyle #sonyasopencupboard #healthandwellness #goodforyou #happyhealthy #eatbetternotless #healthyhabits #challengeyourmindset #changeyourmindset #lumixg7 #lumix #goodmorning #eatbetternotless #eatrealfood #summerfruit #summervibes #healthysummer #eatbetternotless #goodforyou #smoothiesofig #smoothiebowl
That moment when the Real Feel is 102 outside 😓 so you close the curtains, turn up the AC and pour yourself a cold glass of Kombucha🌊🌴🤙🏻 • How do you like to cool down In the summer heat? • #gtskombucha #gts #gingeraid #sonyasopencupboard #lumixg7 #lumix #probiotics #healthyhousehold #goodforyou #healthylifestyle #healthyish #healthnut #eeeeeats #mindset #changeyourmindset #eatbetternotless #eatrealfood #loveyourbody #selfrespect #findingbalance #lifecoach #summerheat #healthysummer #summersnack #livingfood #foodfitness
Planning to take some time today doing nothing which is always a challange. • When was the last time you were bored? You didn't have anything to entertain you? Time to just THINK. • I have been listening to the audiobook Essetialism: The Disciplone Persuit of Less by Greg Mckeown and it has inspired me to take a step back and evaluate my life. • There is so much good, but too much happening to appreciate it. • The stress is getting to me and it's pulling me further from what I want to be focused on. • I want to be here for you guys, I want to be walking with God, and to be present with my family. To do a my best at work while still enjoying my creative projects. • If you are struggling to manage your day to day life I highly suggest reading the book or just listening to it on audible! It's one of those things that you won't regret. • #sonyasopencupboard #redefineyourlife #treatyourself #takecareofyourself #selfimprovementmonth #lovethelifeyouhave #essentialist #essential #lumixg7 #lumix #landscapephotography #beachvibes #makewaves #lovethelifeyouhave #selfrespect #findingbalance #lifecoach #godisgood #godfirst #eeeeeats #microblogpost #essentialistlifestyle #selfimprovementmonth #summervibes #annamariaisland #visitbradenton
One of my favorite things about this last year with @danielpeacocke was how much he pushed me to do better with my photography. • He bought a camera and I didn't touch it for 6 months. I played around with it here and there, but had no idea what I was doing. • I was avoiding it because I hate the feeling when your starting something new and can't obtain the results you want. • This for me has always been a big hurdle and I know I'm not alone. • Learning how to use a camera has given me a boost of confidence, it makes me excited to learn more and has helped me provide better content for you guys! • We all face new challenges that will benefit us, but most of the time are too scared to try. • Whenever I feel this way Daniel reminds me to always push for more, try new things and to never stop learning! • #inspire #lumixg7 #lumix #coffeegram #oscuracafe #sonyasopencupboard #healthandwellness #goodforyou #happyhealthy #eatbetternotless #healthyhabits #healthytreat #eeeeeats #blogpost #microblogpost #microblog #coffeegram #balancedisbetter #trysomethingnew #exploration #inspiringothers #openyourmind #openmind #dosomethinghard #keepmoving #keepmovingforeward
Spent today remeniscing about that one day a few years back where I went to South Africa just to marry my best friend...
◇《HEALTHY TACO SALAD//DF&GF》◇ • Last night after many nights out and rushed dinner I finally broke the cycle! • After shopping at my local farm stand (@geraldsonsfamilyfarm ) I was able to grab some lime, fresh romaine, green peppers, onion, tomatoes! • After bringing home my loot I had the idea for a taco salad. It was one of those I have just enough leftovers and fresh vegtables to make it work! • So I whipped up this baby and it's totally a new favorite! We loved it so much I rushed to my computer after the meal to document the recipe and share it here with you lovely people! • You can find the recipe here https://www.sonyasopencupboard.com/recipes-1/6/18/2019/simple-healthy-taco-salad • Enjoy and let me know what you think! • • • #summervibes #healthysummer #summermeal #familytime #supportlocalbuisness #geraldsons #sonyasopencupboard #lumixg7 #lumix #goodmorning #eatbetternotless #eatrealfood #eeeeeats #dairyfree #dairyfreerecipe #healthyhabits #glutenfree #glutenfreemexican #foodphotography #eatbetternotless #eatrealfood #loveyourbody #recipeshare #blogpost #blogger #mealprepideas #meappreppig
Working on a Wednesday, wishing it was Sunday at @armatureworks_tampa 💎 • Also can we just appreciate the freedom we have to eat! And not only just the freedom to eat, but to eat whatever we really want! • All 5 of us ordered something completely different, from burgers, to rice bowls, to nachos. • We all sat down at the same time to eat in the same place and paid about the same price. • We spend so much time consumed by the options and what will be the best for us and totally forget to allow ourselves to truly enjoy and appreciate the experience! • #foodphotography #lumix #foodfreedom #freetoeat #freetolive #goodforyou #godisgood #healthandwellness #greatfulness #loveyourbody #selfrespect #findingbalance #lifecoach #foodie #foodgram #enjoyingothers #sonyasopencupboard #healthandwellness #foodie #armatureworks #lumixg7 #redefineyourlife #healthyhabits #challengeyourmindset #changeyourmindset #mindset #loveyourbody #eeeeeats
Enjoying food and choosing healthy options is not something that only benefits us. • As a lot of people struggle with eating disorders (both men and women) but we often forget about those who watch silently. • Little finger, toes and minds are observing all the time and picking up habits from us as they grow from infants all the way to adulthood. • They see us criticize the way we look, groan over what we shouldn't have eaten and be boastful about how "good" we are. • They see us have unhealthy relationships with ourselves and with food. • They LEARN. • Instead why don't we begin to view our bodies not as an object of worship or a work of perfection but just a normal part of life. • Choose to be joyful around food because to have it in abundance is a luxury. • Choose to be thankful for your body because it can do all sorts of things like talk, listen, smell, taste, feel. • Show the ones that watching what it's like to be healthy and not obsessed. • #sonyasopencupboard #redefineyourlife #loveyourbody #selfrespect #findingbalance #lifecoach #godisgood #healthandwellness #microblogpost #microblog #healthnut #goodforyou #cafe #photosofpeople #lumix #foodphotography #lumixg7 #foodfreedom #freetoeat #freetolive #mentalhealth #careforothers #babiesofinstagram #eadingdisorder #selfaware
That moment when after a week of mediocre smoothies you get it right! • The problem is that I ate it too fast to take a photo so....👍🏻 here's a throwback to this little chocolate wonder! • Dairyfree chocolate banana smoothie topped with gluten free chocolate granola from my travels TO sA that was out of this world amazing (thanks Woolsworth🤙🏻) • 1 frozen banana 1/4th cup frozen butternut 1 tbsp dairy free yogurt 1 tbsp cocoa powder 1 tbsp nut butter 1 serving protein powder Almond milk as needed • Blend up and enjoy this beautiful Friday! • #sonyasopencupboard #smoothiesofig #healthyhabits #challengeyourmindset #healthandwellness #goodforyou #happyhealthy #eatbetternotless #healthylifestyle #godisgood #healthnut #eeeeeats #mindset #challengeyourmindset #lumixg7 #lumix #loveyourbody #selfrespect #findingbalance #lifecoach #foodie #foodphotography #godairyfree #glutenfree #dairyfreerecipe #dairyfreesmoothie
Cooking for a lot of people is H🤙🏻A🤙🏻R🤙🏻D. Hard. • Rice veg and meat had been a go to this week because its cheap, quick, and everyone can make it their own by adding their favorite condiments and spices! • Liquid aminos has been a favorite for sure this week. Not only is it gluten free but it is packed with amino acids..oh yeah and you leave the MSG at the door! • After many years of searching for products that are naturally gluten and dairy free, coconut aminos is defenitely high on the list! • What are your favorite additions to make food taste amazing? • #glutenfree #dairyfree #glutenfreetreat #glutenfreekitchen #healthyhabits #healthyhappy #eatbetternotless #lumixg7 #thrivemarket #thrive #healthyish #healthnut #goodforyou #coconut #coconutaminos #sonyasopencupboard #redefineyourlife #treatyourself #foodphotography #gotoxicfree #naturallygood #naturallyglutenfree #glutenfreeoption
Consuming food shouldn't consume you • I have gone from not eating, to binge eating, to fear of food, to wishing I could eat what I can't, etc. • Food consumed me and that meant missing out on several important moments and memories In life. • In Romand 8:5 it says "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit" • Thankfully scripture, loads of support and a will to change has made all the difference. • It's still a wprk in progress, but in the meantime I'll enjoy the people around me and our experiences. I'll appreciate a good meal weather I'm eating it or someone else is. • This is #foodfreedom • #sonyasopencupboard #healthandwellness #goodforyou #happyhealthy #eatbetternotless #healthyhabits #healthytreat #eeeeeats #blogpost #microblogpost #sogood #comfortfood #goodfood #dontfearfood #setyoufree #godisgood #selfrespect #findingbalance #mindset #challengeyourmindset #lumixg7 #foodphotography #lumix #foodphoto #burgerandfries #foodporn #lovingfood #foofreedom
Full of energy, always smiling, always fun is not the whole picture. • It's so easy to get caught up in that social media vibe where everyone portrays their best life. People forget that life even at it's best is challenging. • It brings the feeling that when we struggle it's not something we can let others see. We don't want to ruin the vibe and allow people to see us be venerable. • While if you dont choose to share your struggles on social media that's totally cool, but dont let the social media vibe seep into your day to day life. • For so long I quietly struggles with my relationship with food. People could see me deteriorating before them, but didn't even know what was going on. • Never did I feel like I should share with someone that I didn't have it all together like I was trying to make them believe. • I didn't go to God, and I didn't turn to family. The only time I began to see a change is when I hit the lowest low and realized that I needed Gods help and that God gave me my family and friends so I needed them too. • It's okay to need others, to share about your struggles, and to ask for help from God and those you love. • It's okay to admit that you're not all together and it's okay to struggle even if your life is filled with beautiful things. • "For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Titus 3:3‭-‬7 ESV
