My Whole30 Journey Completed

Hi Friends! I'm back sharing my completed Whole30 journey with you! I completed Whole30 in the first week in March, but then my Grandma went into the hospital which has been occupying my time for the last few weeks.

But finally I got a video up, and included some photos of what I've been eating during Whole30. Let me know if you have any questions about that. We're planning on doing another round of Whole30 at the end of the month, this time with my Husband. 

I hope you enjoyed the video, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Whole30. Have you done it yet? Interested in trying it? Let me know in the comments below.

Whole30 Half Way Point

I'm more than halfway through my Whole30 journey this month. I wanted to check in with you guys and give you an update on how it's been going. I made a little video for you guys checking in and giving some of my thoughts on food, my body and symptoms that I had before starting Whole30. 

I'd love to hear from you, have you done Whole30 before? What was your experience? 

Have you not done it? Are you inspired to try? Let me know in the comments below. 

Whole30 for the Month of February

Hi Friends! Happy Wednesday! Today, I wanted to share with you the beginning of my Whole30 journey. I've attempted Whole30 once before and felt very unprepared so it was a bust. I got my act together this time and I'm doing it. I'm officially on Day 4 and so far so good. 

I created a little video talking about my intro and thoughts about this next month. You can watch below.

I highly suggest buying the book 'It Starts with Food' this really helped me understand the "why" and science behind our food and what we should avoid. You can pick up the book here.

Follow my Whole30 journey using the hashtag #andreaswhole30 on Instagram & Twitter. Also subscribe to my YouTube channel here, I'll be posting more videos there as well.

Keeping Healthy During Cold & Flu Season with Young Living Essential Oils

I've mentioned before how I've been using essential oils this year. You an read more about that here.  Cold and flu season is upon us. 

I enjoy using essential oils for my family and have seen a difference sine using them. Today I want to share with you some ways using essential oils during this season.

One oil that I always love to have on hand is Thieves! If I could only have one oil to use for the rest of my days it would be this one! There's so many uses for it. I diffuse this regularly everyday. I also place it on the bottoms of my children's feet with a carrier oil (such as coconut oil) each day. 

Every morning we have a routine of oils and this is always in the mix. I especially love using it on the days my daughter goes to Pre-K. 

Lemon is also a favorite of mine. 

Another favorite of our family's is RC! It is calming and uplifting. We rub it on our kids chests with a carrier oil. 

I love using my diffuser and having it going while I'm making the kids breakfast in the mornings.

Using Young Living essential oils this year have been a life changer for us. If you're interested in learning more I'd love for you to email me andreaworley@live.com and I'd be happy to chat with you and give you more info!
