For a few years, I would get super anxious and slightly down when New Year’s eve would approach because I did not feel like I accomplished anything groundbreaking. : most of us don’t know what we really desire (besides a new car, house, and a new body). If you want instant clarity and relief from anxiety, sit down and write out all of the things you would like to get done this year. If you are struggling to fit some exercise in every day (like me), set an alarm on your phone that goes off whenever you first get home in the afternoons/evenings.

We went to hubby’s aunt’s house and had a really good time. Next year, hubby and I will probably host Thanksgiving dinner when we are in our new house *prayers up and fingers crossed*. On my personal list are some more Nike’s, workout gear, knee high boots, a new car seat for Benjamin, and some much needed supplements. Today, I’m sharing some great Black Friday deals to help you stay fit that you do not want to miss!

If you’re on Instagram (you should follow me at @simplisticchic_), you may have read about the #Killthe Pill campaign started by  health coach and author, Gessie Thompson (she has helped me numerous times on my natural health journey and really knows her stuff! ), Dr. Amsu, and Dr. Amun. Many women do not realize that birth control may be the main cause of the fibroids, PCOS, ovarian cysts, blood clots, infertility, auto-immune diseases, thyroid issues, or psychological problems they are plagued with. When I was first diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), I was told that I would have to take birth control pills to “regulate” my cycles and help with the super oily skin and breakouts. Estrogen-based birth control methods, as classified by the World Health Organization, are Group 1 carcinogens.

Mommy life, work life, and wife life were taking up every second of my 24 hours, and to be honest I was having a difficult time finding the energy to log on and post. I can clearly remember people looking at me crazy when I talked about choosing not to use Dreft baby detergent when Benjamin was born but, for me it was important to be careful about what I put on his skin. Some of the chemicals and fragrances found in most detergents are just not worth the intoxicating laundry scent we’re used to (I used to LOVE the Tide fresh scent! ). All of the following contain essential oils, no toxic chemicals, plant-based ingredients, and are safe to use in front and top loading HE machines.
