I am so excited to talk to you about something super important for your health that doesn't get enough attention. It may not sound exciting when you first hear about it, but I want you to stay with me. By the end of this show, I am going to make you the biggest fan. Omega-3 fatty acids may not sound sexy or exciting, but they’re very important. I want to give you the research and let you go deeper into all the things that I'm talking about. So why do I love these? These are little fats that pack a punch. When it comes to keeping your body and your mind healthy, whether we're focused on improving your skin, boosting your energy, or helping with anti-aging, omega-3s are the must-have in your routine.  I want you to take a closer look and get into the science of Omega-3s. I put together a free Omega-3s guide to give you resources that are research backed. Favorite quotes:  04:34 - “Omega-3s, they support our brain, they help us with focus, they help us with memory, and they even help us with mood.” 05:17 - “Omega-3s are key for our skin. They make our skin look plump. They can help our skin not be dry,  itchy, and irritated.” 09:43 - “One thing I love about omega-3s is they will keep your joints more flexible and preserve muscle mass, too, because those things naturally decrease as we get older. So, if you want to stay active, if you want to stay strong, it's just another reason to take omega-3s.” 10:21 - “For women, omega-3s can also help us balance our hormones.” 22:39 - “Omega-3s are simple and powerful. It is a great way to improve your health and keep you feeling great.”   Things I love and think you will too:  Omega 3s Guide   Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega    Create a Course Remaining You While Raising Them Alli on YouTube Little Things Studio Christmas items and more - 40% off!!

Welcome back. This is week two of everything you ever wanted to know about skincare but didn't know who to ask. Okay, that's not the title, but I like that title.  Skin health is more than just expensive products. It’s about focusing on the basics that truly work and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Today, we're doing a deep dive into more things that we can do to keep our skin looking great all the time.  We’re talking about skin health, beauty and everything you need to know. We’re diving into sun protection, sleep, sugar, Antioxidants, Omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. You don’t want to miss it!   Favorite quotes:  03:28 - “Sleep is big. When we don't get enough sleep, it does take a toll on our skin.”  09:02 - “Antioxidants are your skin's best defense when it comes to aging.” 11:14 - “Omega-3s are great for your skin, it's great for your collagen, and the name of the game of skin care is collagen.” 14:45 - “Lower estrogen can affect collagen. So the drop in estrogen during perimenopause or menopause significantly impacts your collagen production.” 18;26 - “It's tough, but reducing sugar can make a big difference in your skin's appearance.” 20:10 - “Again, it's not about doing everything all at once.

Welcome to the health series. In the next few weeks, I'll have so many guests sharing all they know about health. I'll also do my shows and share my health journey with you.  I have a lot to share. I'm not an expert in anything. I'm just somebody who's trying to get healthier, right? I have spent the last year getting in shape, taking care of myself, lowering my stress, and doing everything I can to help me feel better. After a whole year of experimenting, I want to share it with you.  I’m so excited, I put together a free resource for you of everything I'm talking about. What to use, how to use it, what causes aging, and what you can do that’s science backed and research tested to lessen aging. It’s in the show notes here, the YouTube description, the link is in my profile on Instagram. Because skincare and anti-aging are so huge, we will break this show into two parts. We're gonna do half today and half next week, or else it's just gonna be the longest show ever for just you and me.    Favorite quotes:  09:10 - quote from Alli - “If you're spending hundreds of dollars on skincare and you're not getting any results, ask your doctor or dermatologist for a prescription for a type of retinal-A.” 11:11 - “Collagen is like the scaffolding that holds our skin up. It's keeping it firm and smooth.” 11:52 - “Sun exposure, stress, and poor sleep will speed up this breakdown of collagen.” 14:41 - “Over time, using red light therapy will reduce fine lines, reduce wrinkles, and it will improve your skin texture.” 17:36 - “Collagen is everything. Everything that we've talked about so far is to trick our skin as we age to create the one thing that's going to help us age well at whatever pace that is for us.”   Things I love and think you will too:  Clinique Wash All About Clean   Clinique Moisture Surge    Primal Kitchen Chocolate Coconut Collagen Peptide Drink Mix   Frownies  Alli's Guide to Everything You Need to Know about Skincare  Create a Course Remaining You While Raising Them Alli on YouTube Little Things Studio Christmas gifts at Little Things Studio!  As co-owner of Little Things Studio in Nashville, TN I’m excited to share that we have delightful Christmas gifts.

Every type has a very particular way of how they perceive the world and what they believe to be true about it.”  ~12:20 - Elizabeth  “For each personality type, all of these good messages are beneficial for any of the types, but some land very pointedly on the type because that is what is really tripping them up in life.”  ~26:02 - Beth Links to Great Things We Discussed: Marilyn Vancil  Website   Marilyn Vancil  Instagram    Jesse Eubanks Website    Jesse Eubanks Instagram    Elizabeth Orr Instagram    Beth McCord Website    Beth McCord Instagram    Build a Coaching Business Quick Start Challenge Create a Course Remaining You While Raising Them Little Things Studio Little Things Studio is a woman-owned small business bringing daily reminders of beauty and truth to your home and life.

Do you ever feel like your mind is in overdrive, constantly buzzing with too much information? It's like your brain is running a marathon, but instead of getting stronger, you're just getting more and more exhausted.  Today, I'm going to share a surprising three-step formula that can help you hit reset and reclaim your peace of mind, because I think this is how most of us are living right now. What we consume matters. The information you consume impacts your mood and your relationships. The wrong inputs will drain your energy and keep you from being your best self.  We need an information diet. By choosing what we consume, we free up our minds for what really matters. We will be happier and feel more content.  Three steps to start your information diet: Choose your inputs wisely. Limit your information consumption. Feed your mind positivity. When you’re mindful of our inputs you’ll fill your mind with good, take control of what you let in, and you’ll feel more clear and empowered. Favorite quotes:  01:12 - “Most of us know to be able to guard our peace, we need to stay connected to God. We need to have prayer time every day, but we also forget a really important next step. We need to have an information diet.” 01:51 - “By choosing what we consume intentionally, we free up our mental energy for the things that truly matter.” 05:56 - “I want you to prioritize content and information that inspires you, that teaches you, that helps you become the person that you want to be.” 11:30 - “It's all about choosing wisely and setting limits and feeding your mind with positivity. So when you're mindful of your inputs, you'll find yourself with more peace and more focus and more energy to live the life that you were meant to live.” Recommendations: This week I share a beauty product and a TV series that I’m loving. The first is a Scalp Massager. Imagine a circle that you hold in your hand with little squishy points that you can use in the shower to wash your hair. It just feels lovely! You need a scalp massager like yesterday. The second thing I share with you this week is season 3 of the most wonderful show in the world - Only Murders in the Building. It’s on Hulu and it’s amazing. Seasons and episodes are short. It’s a really good time and is well done. It’s just a fun, fun show.

Hi friend! Today I share about navigating uncertainty by developing a strategy and keeping moving forward. Here’s the truth - regardless of who wins elections or the state of our circumstances, God is still in control. He’s not surprised by what happens; He has a plan for us all. But we have to live on Earth for now, and it's wild and uncertain. We each have a laundry list of difficult things, things that scare us, groceries cost approximately $3 billion, and things that give us a little bit of anxiety. So what do we do?  We get wise, develop a strategy, and keep going. We want to make sure that our strategy will keep us strong and sane and keep us moving forward.  Super practical tips I share to navigate the uncertainties of life: Stay present, but make choices for your future self. Invest in yourself. Put your thoughts on trial. Examine every thought and do not assume every thought that pops into your head is true.  Avoid your anxiety triggers. Whether it’s news, doom scrolling, people who are always telling you something terrible is going to happen, whatever your trigger is, give it limited time, stop doing it, or dial down those voices in your life. Stay firmly planted, keep your anxiety in check, and plan well so you can live fully today and in the future. Remember your history with God and try out these tips! You’ve got this!   Recommendations: Let me tell you what I’m loving this week. Frownies Facial Patches are little craft paper triangles that you put on your forehead at night and when you wake up, your forehead is smooth and lovely. I put three on my forehead at night. I’m doing everything I can to fight aging and I’m really loving these.   Favorite quotes:  02:11 - “The most important thing to do when navigating uncertainty is to look back on our long history with God.” 06:58 - “Where I see so many women self-sabotaging more than any other way is by not investing in themselves.” 08:04 - “So I want you to stay present. Don't let yourself spiral down in the fear of the future and all the what-ifs, but make some choices for your future self.” 08:35 - “I want you to put your thoughts on trial.  Now, we all have crazy thoughts. We all have thoughts of things falling apart in the future. You know, those what-ifs can drive us crazy. What we need to do is really examine those thoughts and not just assume every thought is true.” 09:36 - “If something negative is likely to happen, the smartest thing you can do, the most strategic thing you can do is make a plan to either stop it and take action or make a plan to mitigate the damage. We don't have to be victims. We aren't powerless.”   Things I love and think you will too:  Frownies    Create a Course Remaining You While Raising Them Alli on YouTube Little Things StudioLittle Things Studio is a woman-owned small business bringing daily reminders of beauty and truth to your home and life.
