75 Medium Challenge: Before and After, Tips, Favorite Meal Ideas, and Final Thoughts

75 Medium· Health

I completed the 75 medium challenge! The journey was not completely straightforward for me– mostly because of things like stomach bugs that threw a wrench into the challenge, but I finished it out really strong.

Isle of Palms, SC: All Of My Faves after 20+ Years

Travel

My family has been taking us to Isle of Palms for over 20 years. Probably more like 25 years really! And boy has it changed during that time. We’ve seen plenty of businesses come/go/rebrand, houses become huge mansions, the IOP connector built, and more, but some things in IOP stay constant. Isle of Palms is a small island just right…

Chicken Sausage and Ditalini Soup

Food

I have had the idea in my head for about 3 months now to make a chicken sausage, kale, and couscous soup. Somehow, I ended up with spinach instead of kale and Ditalini instead of couscous. But regardless of how we got here, this chicken sausage and ditalini soup is delicious with a creamy Parmesan and tomato broth! This recipe…

Honest trial of the @kristinesshair gloss in the s Honest trial of the @kristinesshair gloss in the shade Bittersweet! I actually filmed this at the beginning of October and now I can say it has faded really nicely. This hair gloss gave my hair so much shine and toned it just a bit darker and cooler. I love the results! #hairgloss #athomebeauty #diyhair

Note: I did end up donating the formula elsewhere— I didn’t want to leave it outside because extreme temperatures can mess with the integrity of formula!

I took my toddler to the grocery store so we could pick out some shelf stable foods that are also good sources of protein. We made a couple of shelf stable birthday cake kits (everything included to make a cake!) and also donated a bunch of diapers that we no longer had use for! 
I really want to start doing this more often, because it caused my son to ask a lot of good questions and we were able to have a good talk about helping others ❤️
