With girls and women supporting each other, more than ever, we all want to feel confident, powerful, and strong. In the past few years, the number of women who strength train has increased greatly. Lifting, training, and eating well are all ways to contribute to our overall mental and physical health.

When you start to really be committed to the gym, and see you body begin to change, your mindset changes as well. Knowing that you can lift heavy weights, go the extra mile, and feel healthy can boost your confidence, and be proud of the things you have already accomplished. When you work out, your body release endorphins which are the chemicals that make you happier and relieve your stress. The extra confidence and happiness will push your body to do more and keep going.

2. Good Core, Good Posture

What better way to show off your confidence in a cute outfit, than good posture to catch everyone's eye? Core workouts, yoga, or any movement related to your abdominal and lower back muscles will improve your posture and flexibility. Also, while strength training, there is a heavy importance on "good form/posture," which can be translated to always being conscious of good posture.

3. Eat Good, Feel Good

What you put into your body is just as important as what is on the outside. The foods you eat affect how you feel without a doubt. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and good fats can all be ingredients to make your body more energized and healthy. Products like soft drinks, syrups, and candy bars can cause rapid spikes and drops in your blood sugar levels which could make you feel tired and irritable. Not only do these sugars bring your mood down, but they contribute to weight gain, which could make you feel less confident and sluggish.

Working out and eating right is an amazing commitment to have, and shows through hard work and perseverance. Join all the women who are continuing to improve themselves every day. Ask some friends to work out with you, or meal prep with you once a week. Get ready for next summer by starting a new confident you today.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
