 Hey gang, welcome back to my channel. If you're new, I bid you welcome. This is an interesting video to have stumbled upon if you are new. I've had a lot of requests for day in the life videos, more vlog style videos. So I'm gonna let you in on a day in my life. I'm actually an advanced holistic health practitioner, individualized nutrition and weight loss specialist and personal training specialist. So I have my own health and wellness business that I run from home. I have already showered and done my makeup and I feel like if you do wanna see my healthy morning routine, please comment below and I'd be more than happy to make that its own video, morning routine, nighttime routine. But it'll basically be a full day of eating, some different activities. I also had a request to show you how to repurpose Bath & Body Works candle holders. Gonna get into that today too. And I will be making a meal kit delivery dinner tonight. This one is chef's plate. So we're gonna make a chef's plate meal this evening. I'm spending most of the day with my former husband. He's scandalous. Let's get started with breakfast. We are having this microwavable packet. I do not own a microwave. We use the kettle up in here. So we're gonna have this super seed and super grains, super food, oatmeal, chia, buckwheat, hemp and quinoa. Gluten-free oats inherently don't contain gluten. However, because of how they're processed, they do cause inflammation unless they are marked wheat or gluten-free. No sugar added, nothing bad. Just a bunch of healthy grains, six grams of protein per packet. We're on a good. Then I'm gonna put some cereal into it to give it a little crunch. This is my favorite cereal, cashier blueberry bliss. It is organic, no wheat, no gluten. It's non-inflammatory and good luck finding that elsewhere. Some pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are one of the only things nutritionally that have equal parts, healthy fats and protein. Stevia. These are old Bath & Body Works candle containers. I thought they were cute. They have a little rubber seal on the inside of the lid so they make awesome little kitchen things. I use them in the bathroom also for Q-tips and whatnot. I'm gonna show you a little bit later how I do that but let's get the oatmeal made. We have got oatmeal on there with the water, pumpkin seeds. Stevia hasn't been mixed yet. I've decided to add some powdered peanut butter. It has way less than half the calories. So you mix it with water and make it into the consistency that you like. Also, I am using some frozen strobs that I had. I always pour boiling water over them. You can pour boiling water also over dried fruit to plump it up a bit. Dark chocolate chips, gluten-free. Normally you can buy the Camino dairy-free kind but I went with dark to be a little bit healthier because they did not have the Camino. Go slow when you add the water because oftentimes you'll end up adding way too much and then you have to add more powder, then more water and we all know how that goes, right? Let's see. Voila, peanut butter. I like to make it a drizzle in consistency but you can make it whatever kind of consistency you want. Interesting story. I have alternate nerve distribution in my mouth. That means that my mouth has three times the amount of nerves that the average person does. I really dislike metal in my mouth. So I use these. Guess what? Plastic. Not even real. Yes, I use normal calorie at restaurants. I don't like it though, but I still do. This is looking uglier by the minute but hey, it's all good. It is not the most attractive breakfast but the PB in powdered form, not necessarily healthier because although it does have double protein, less calories and all of that, you're missing the healthy fat. So I recommend almond butter. Peanuts and cashews tend to have some mold issues. Anyway, I'm just using the powdered peanut butter for now so I can get rid of it. What I put on here is ground nutmeg, organic. You want all of your spices to be organic as well. Really important for health. Non-organic spices have all been irradiated so that causes some bad gut issues. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cumin, which has been proven to help the body burn fat. So breakfast is done, time to take supplements. In here we have got extra strength cranberry, fish oil, probiotic, prebiotic, vitamin D3, B12, calcium magnesium, and collagen. When you do get probiotics, make sure they're refrigerated. Alternate your probiotics every time you finish a jar though because your gut needs that. And the prebiotics that I take are these gummies. I get them on Amazon $20 for 40 days. These were in the top three best prebiotics in 2020. Prebiotics are the food that the probiotics in your gut eat. So this is great for trimming your waist, not retaining fat. It just keeps the gut functioning perfectly. Do as I say, not as I do, but sometimes I am way too tired. I'm not actually a coffee drinker. Caffeine is no good for women, PS, hormonally. But on days that I am super, duper tired, I just use pre-workout in the morning. Generally I go for a walk on my first call of the day. I walk a couple of times a day because otherwise I sit on my bum for literally the whole day. So I prefer all max amino cuts. There was also a keto version. But if you're only gonna have this definitely before noon, if you're gonna have it at all, and try not to have it every day. Make sure there's healthy fats, which we saw in my breakfast. But now that I'm done the breakfast, I'm gonna dump some of this high octane caffeine in my body. This is the Centuvia water system. Everything you put in here goes through the same process as it would as if it comes down to mountain. It is alkaline and this also filters out fluoride. You do not wanna be having any fluoride. That mess is my bad. I don't know who else works from home. Get yourself one of these guys. Make sure if you are gonna eat food, this is why we didn't see me eating breakfast. There's no TV on for breakfast. If you eat while the news is on or anything that is not 100% positive, your body and turp is out of stress and your digestion just shuts off. When I do eat, I eat in a quiet space. This is generally how I work. Every single day, you write a list. Must do, should do, would like to do. I don't deal well with routine. I hate routine, but I need structure and I think as human beings we all do. And so the whole thing is life still happens. Your days get busy and if you don't really time block your day, your day is gonna drive you rather than you driving your day. So one thing I always do, must do. What must I do for work? Should do. Should I do for work and myself in life? And then would like to do and would like to do is equally as important as must do. And I mean equal. You need every single day to have totally selfish you time, even if it's just 15 minutes. Later. It is almost time for my first call of the day. So what I'm going to do is take that while I walk outside. Sometimes I take my whole office outside before COVID I used to go to places like coffee shops and whatnot. But right now we're gonna go for a little walk while we take a call. It was done. Let me show you guys this. I had the Apple Watch for a long time. I think I was wearing it for just over a year at this point about this. It's the Garmin Venue it's called. It is amazing. It was almost only half the cost of the Apple Watch. It is so much better. The battery last way longer. Trust me. If you're thinking about getting an Apple Watch I recommend this guy. Don't spend all your money in the Apple Watch you really don't need to. We're bad. I always have a snap. This is iron vegan sprouted protein. Comes in a powder form. Also comes in these delicious bars. When I get back from my walk it's usually when I have my first snack but there are 16 grams of protein in here. Healthy fast only four grams of sugar. This is amazing. There's nothing inflammatory in here. It's super, super good for you. But I highly recommend sprouted. Protein and sprouted grains is a lot better in the body for you. Okay. We're gonna make some eggs. When it comes to eggs. What I get is organic brown eggs from free range pens who were fed an organic diet. Your body is literally recreating itself with everything that you put into it. When you're eating eggs from cage raised feedlot kind of chickens. They're no good at all. And fat stores toxins. If you eat animal products, non-organic ones, your body is going to create more fat cells or hang on to fat cells it already has in order for it to have somewhere to store those toxins. So if weight loss is your goal, which health should always be your goal, weight loss is a side effect. You need to be getting organic eggs. Eggs are so toxic if they're not organic. And free range means that the hands are running around actually eating what they're designed to eat. Hands are designed to eat things like bugs, worms. You want the animal to be eating what it was meant to eat. Free run. It's like one step down from free range. They get to run around loose, but they're not loose. They're inside a giant football field size barn. Not pretty. You want free range. So worth the cost. People always tell me that, you know, it's so expensive to eat organic food. It is, but your body actually needs 30 to 60% less food when you eat organic. And I will link a video below in the description box of the video that I made on how to eat optimally healthy in the least expensive way possible. Check that out. There is also a video on my channel on how to do this if you're busy. There is no excuse. Anyway, between the air fryer, that's down here, the instant pot and this rice cooker. I never used my stove. Like I said earlier, I don't own a microwave. There's not enough radiation in a microwave to bother you. That's not what I'm worried about. It's about how the microwave is heating the food. A microwave will oscillate the liquid molecules inside a food at such a high rate that it explodes them on a molecular level. When you then eat that food, your body doesn't recognize it as a food. If you are over the age of 50 even, and you notice you have joint pain in the mornings, stop using the microwave with an instant pot and an air fryer. You don't need one. I'm gonna link the video also down below of why microwaves are horrible. The instant pot, this is how I make hard boiled eggs. What you wanna do is put as many eggs in here as you want. And in here, I have this thing sitting on the bottom. This is sitting right on top of that. The instant pot is amazing. It works as a microwave as well. Look that up. That's not in this video. If you wanna see how I use this as a microwave, let me know. But I'm gonna put six eggs. You can do a whole carton if you want. You wanna put one cup of water into the instant pot. Most things that you're making, even if you are using it as a microwave to reheat food, you want one cup of water in there. You're not gonna ingest the water. It's just steaming your eggs. Lid goes on, locked. You want the little thing on the top in the center and keep it away from the underside of your cabinets because as the steam comes out, it's gonna water damage the cabinets. When you have eggs, if you're doing hard boiled eggs, I like a medium egg but slightly more than medium. And trust me, I have done the trial and error on that. Manual, four minutes. You can adjust the minutes here but all you want is four minutes for just beyond medium egg. You don't want chalky yolk but not runny at all. That's what I do. It's exactly on the hour right now so I'm gonna see how long it takes to heat. I think it takes about 11 minutes and then it starts counting down to four. But the eggs have never been easier to peel. But anyway, my lunch, I'm more of a snacker than a luncheater. Sometimes I'll make a big portion of food to have the next day. You never wanna leave yourself hungry with nothing prepared. That is the worst enemy of a healthy lifestyle. Most days, my lunch is full of snacks. Keep in mind if you're ever having veggies, like say you're having carrot sticks and celery as a snack, you wanna pair that with hummus and if you're having an apple as a snack, you wanna have almond butter to dip those in. So no matter what you're having as a snack, you really wanna make sure that it has fats and protein in it. Rule of thumb. So eggs, just like the pumpkin seeds I mentioned that breakfast have equal part, healthy fat and protein. Okay gang, it took nine minutes to get to the part where it wants to finally start counting down. And a lot of people are terrified of this thing. It's not scary. But if you do hear tapping, creaking, groaning and the, with the steam, totally normal. I'm gonna show you what happens. We're at two minutes now. There's a little red thing on the end. See this little red thing? When it's time to pop the top, which we're gonna do in two minutes. That little red thing, all of the steam comes out, terrifying noise. And the little red thing goes and it pops back down. Then you know it's safe to open. Really it's the easiest shenanigan you could ever do. It's so easy. So this is what it uses my microwave. Anytime I'm gonna heat up something like anything that can be steamed. When I'm heating up pizza or anything that you want crispy, I put that in the air fryer. But I have not needed a microwave. The eggs are perfectly done. So what you wanna do is drop them into your ice bowl off. Unplug. And then I just wait for it to cool completely before I take the inside out and give them a wash and wash the inside of this thing. But super easy to clean, super efficient. Nine, 13 minutes for hard boiled eggs. No mess, no fuss. I wanna show you how easy it is to peel one of these bad boys. I am no hard boiled egg of Fischinato. But one thing that's really cool is how easy it is to get the shells off of an Instant Pot made egg. So I guess if you steam your eggs, check this out. I usually let it cool more first. Like it's amazing. And I'll eat two of these. One thing I love to do. If I'm really hungry, I bought these. These rice cakes are amazing. Smart bite, fit figure rice cakes. They are gluten free, everything bad free. These ones are made with quinoa. So you get more protein. You can have three of them or only 60 calories. Not that we're calorie focused. Amazing, the only ingredients Italian organic brown rice and organic quinoa bomb. And then they have other kinds. They have a plain rice one, but I mean you're not getting more protein that way, it's kind of boring. This one is made with flax, the purple one. What I'll do is I'll put a little bit of mayo on those. I'm gonna apply it in a queen. This thing, if you don't have one of these, I'm telling you. Yeah, you can get a knife and cut your hands of course but handy you're doing it this way. So what I'll do is I'll get three of those. I'll put a little bit of mayo on all three. I will cut two eggs. If you are having a meal, not just a snack, but this is actually gonna be your meal, you want at least three eggs or get some complete protein from another source. The rule of thumb is you want a minimum of 20 grams, no more than 30. The body can't use more than 30 per meal, but 20 grams of complete protein for each main meal of your day. If you're eating incomplete protein, meaning it does not have all nine essential amino acids, your body can't use it the way that it needs to use a protein. So if you picture all your cells like a house and you're having incomplete protein like broccoli, for example, yeah, there's protein in it, but it's not a complete protein. It doesn't have all nine essential amino acids. So in essence, you're building the walls of your cell houses out of cardboard plywood, not strong, not structurally sound, not as healthy. And if you're eating at least 20 grams of complete protein per each main meal of the day, your cell walls are being built out of concrete, structurally sound, they're strong, they're healthy. You get stronger muscles that way, trust me. Sometimes you might need three eggs because only six grams of protein per egg, so three of them make 18 right in the 20 ballpark. I have a healthy recipe for Mayo if anyone is interested, comment below and I'll share it. Everything but the bagel seasoning, it looks different everywhere you go. If you go on Amazon, it's there, but to give you an idea, everything bagels, same thing. Salt, sesame seeds, onion and garlic, poppy seeds and chili flakes. Delicious. Cumin will be sprinkled on as well because cumin, like I said from breakfast, is a known fat burner. And then we will get on to making the bath and body where it's containers that I told you all, I would show you. A few moments later. Welcome to my afternoon. When it hits afternoon, I usually have another shower just to wash off the sweaty wok. I bought a bunch of these onesies. Again, thanks Angie, her channel is below. She works at home too and she said, these onesies are the best thing to wear around the house. If you work from home, they are beyond comfortable. They really are. It feels like naked, but they're from our den. Dime a dozen. Ourden.com is where you find them. Bath and Body Works Candles. They are $25 per candle, regular price. So if you're not gonna repurpose them, I mean, it's a good idea. You can buy the different patterned jars if you want colored ones, but I always repurpose. So originally, the school of thought was that you put this whole thing in the freezer and then you wait till it freezes. When it comes out, you take a butter knife, you jab it in, you know, you dig out all the wax because it comes out easier frozen. But then my hairdresser thanks Amanda at Total Image, full of tips. And so she told me, no, just wait till it burns down, wait till it's empty and then we're gonna pour hot water in. So the kettle just boiled. You want it at least halfway up the container, but I go about an inch or two from the top. This one is not Bath and Body Works, so I can't say what's gonna happen with this guy. If you can see how the wax is already coming to the top, this is miraculous. You wanna leave it for the day, a few hours at least. All of the wax floats to the top and then it hardens into a perfect puck without any of the wick, junk, none of the glue. It's just the wax that comes up and freezes. The water's obviously cooled by the time you wanna pop it out. And if you have any kind of the scent, melt or things like the scentsy, you just melt the wax on the top and it makes your home smell beautiful. You can use the pox of wax in the melters. Anyway, I love reusing everything. I am a misfrugality to make sure I'm saving money and reusing everything I can. So I will show you what these all look like at the end and how to finish the process. One eternity later. Out comes the puck. All the wax is gone, you just have these. They come right out, but I bought Goo Gone. Wash them out with a little Goo Gone and then wash them out with some soap. Pop your uncle and then you have pretty containers. So they look like burger patties. I guess they don't look like burger patties. Exactly! I wanna show you guys one of my favorite little hobbies. I have always been highly, highly intuitive. P.S., you want some good books? Squirt! Essential Law of Attraction Collection. That is amazing. The Divine Matrix from Greg Braden. That is also amazing. I think the entire world should read these two books and then Attached is another great one about how your attachment styles from how you were raised affect your relationships later in life. I used to do intuitive readings as an actual part of my business. However, I got out of doing the readings and then I got back into the health expert shenanigan. And now I just use them every time I want to. I get Dex as my souvenir when I go places. My favorite one if you're thinking of getting into playing around with these is Archangel Power Tarot cards. By Doreen Virtue, my absolute favorite. The Enchanted Map if you're trying to figure out where the heck you wanna go. Life Purpose. I'm not big into past lives. Some people are. I got these from a retreat I went to in Sedona, Arizona. And these are amazing. You can find all of these Dex on Amazon. Lots of fun. So we're gonna play with these for a little while, do some reading action just for fun. And then we'll get on to cooking our dinner. Okay, if you're not familiar with what a meal kit delivery service is, basically it's a company that will send you all of the ingredients you need to make a meal such as this. This is Suvlaki style pork chops. Some of these companies are better than others. I am not a big fan of many of them. Whole foods, good foods. You can't say whether you want gluten-free. You can't say if you want dairy-free. I believe you can tailor it to vegetarian or not. But in my opinion, you just don't get healthy enough options. They say they do half gluten-free meals, you gotta go to their website and scroll through all the... No, it's much like online dating. You want to go on and be like, I want this kind of a person, you're gonna have space in this and this. I want meals that are gluten-free, dairy-free, low on the inflammation scale, low on the sugar GI index. Maybe I'm just too anal though out. But regardless, chef's plate makes it difficult to do such things. Transparency. But they send you everything you need, so we're gonna make these two blocky style pork chops. You get a bag. All of the nutritional info is on the bag, on this sheet and also online. So on this paper, you get what came in your kit, a description of the meal, a picture of the meal, and then you get step-by-step instructions. You know what they say, if you can read, you can cook. You have some mixed green for salad, cherry tomatoes, Greek yogurt, feta cheese, blocky style spice mix, dried dill, red wine vinegar, garlic clove. Two Canadian raised boneless pork loin chops, premium cuts raised without the use of added hormones. So that's good. And two potatoes. No offence, chef's plates, but I've had to swap out the pasta they send with my own healthier pasta. Things like that. Sweet potatoes take longer to convert into sugar in the body than white potatoes, believe it or not. Also handy-tip, sweet potatoes have less calories in them than your body takes to digest them. Not the same with white potatoes. White potatoes are healthier than sweet potatoes for different nutrient aspects, but they're even. There isn't one more healthier than the other, really, when you look at all of the aspects. I just love sweet potato. We're gonna get cooking. Preheat the oven first, because it's gonna say it's a 30-minute recipe, but they're going by when your oven is preheated. On my fries, I like to use seasoning salt, sea salt, and black pepper. If you use sea salt, use Celtic or Himalayan because those two have the least amount of heavy metal content. So Chris is gonna put the pork in the oven with the potatoes, tzatziki. We gotta cut up little tomatoes. This is the salad dressing, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. I'm telling you, yum. And here's our salad. That's it. We're gonna see how long this takes. It should be done soon, though, and I'll show you the plate. All right, gang. Here is one of the finished plates. We got some potato wedges, some lovely fresh garden salad, homemade tzatziki, and a pork chop. Now, I'm not a big fan of pork, usually. Not for any specific reason, I just, I don't know. But we'll see. Looks delish. Okay, so if you've been on my channel before and especially in my kitchen, we all know how I feel about this blender. So any blender that you get, especially if you enjoy having greens powders or protein powders, anything like that, you need to get equal to a Vitamix or higher quality blender. You need that kind of pulverization to make the powders bioavailable in your gut, meaning your gut can absorb the powder properly. I have the Breville Boss because I was burning out every blender because I make my own bars, my own protein bars and all of that. I'm telling you, this is where it's at. So it's dessert time. We're gonna make yo-nanas, but not the yo-nanas you see online. It's my own little version. So we've got frozen banana, three ice cubes, real maple syrup, none of this ain't your mind much. Okay, so I usually put about a tablespoon of syrup. Two tablespoons for me, please. Two tablespoons of syrup. I put one tablespoon of raw cacao powder. Cacao is better for you than cocoa powder because it is the non-processed version. Butting sweetened vanilla-flavored cashew milk. The silk brand is good. There's no carrageenan. Carrageenan is a chemical, a hormone disruptor, but it is in a lot of dairy-free milk kind of product. I'm gonna start with a quarter cup. It depends on how thick you like your milkshakes. There's a green smoothie button and a frozen dessert. I'm gonna use the green smoothie anyway because it really extra mixes things. One hour later. We have decided to go for a little after-dinner walk, wearing another Ardenne comfy onesie. They're amazing. Anyway, it's really good to help your digestion out by walking a little bit after you eat. I wouldn't say go for a sprint or anything, but it's lovely in the evening and it's not blazing hot out. So we are going to enjoy this beautiful neighborhood. So there you have it. That's all for today. Welcome to that day in my life. I hope it was somewhat entertaining or enjoyable for you. Thanks to Chris for being the camera guy and coming along for the adventure. I wanted to talk with Chris to you about an idea that we had. So as mentioned earlier in this video, we are ex-spouses. We were married. We have been through it. Okay, we've been through open relationships, moving across the country, working together, opening a business together, getting rid of that business, moving back across the country. Chris is familiar with moving across the world. We've had long distance relationships, short distance relationships. We've been through, oh my gosh, life together and then some. And honestly, I do not know anybody else better at communicating in relationships than us. As I sit here quietly. Or at least, yeah, take note, man. Just be quiet and it all works out. But anyway, if you have any questions, we wanna do a video about relationships or about marriages or we're so open. We're such open people. We're such experienced people when it comes to a lot of things that you can go through. And we're also a lot of fun. So if you have any questions, concerns, comments, intriguing things, I don't even know. If you have anything that you wanna chat to us about or is there anything you wanna ask a guy that you're too afraid to? Because. Women out there, ask me anything. It's all good. Just fire him at me.
