Evolved Vibes

With welcoming August 2020, Lifestyle Motives got an upgrade! New site, new merchandise and new content.

I am so excited and humbled to see how things have grown and changed over the past few months. That includes Lifestyle Motives as a business and me, Natasha, as a brand.

August is a tough month for me emotionally but, THIS year feels different. The pain is there but my resolve is evolved. I have new momentum and hope. Pride in my clients and focus on being their support, partner, educator and cheerleader.

There are more things coming so, make sure you follow on social media and sign up to be part of the email list to stay in the know.

With love and light,

Natasha

The Grocery Store...

It can be the most stressful, time-consuming, bad decision encouraging day of our nutrition lives, grocery shopping day. Using these tips, I was able to turn this day from one I avoided until I was starving (or broke!) to one that is manageable AND affordable. I hope to create a video on this in the future that will be shared on Facebook to the group Busy Nutrition. Check it out! Also, don’t forget to subscribe! God Bless you!

Desk Snacks

I don’t know about anyone else BUT, snacking at work is REAL! The stress and anxiety of the work day makes some of us, me included, snack/munch mindlessly. I try to keep the healthiest snacks in my desk at work. This not only helps me cut down on calories but also on those random hunger pangs that seem to appear only when dealing with tough situations. Here is a list of my ‘essentials’:

1. Nuts – preferably rich in Omegas and protein. Almonds and walnuts are examples

2. Nutrient rich cereal – make sure it’s tasty with or without milk! I like Raising Bran, anything Kashi, Fiber One and Great Grains (but watch the portion sizes!)

3. Fruit cups in fruit juice only – this is in addition to any fresh fruits and veggies I carry in my lunch bag

4. Bottled water – hydration is key and very helpful in controlling hunger. My job has a water cooler but I usually keep a bottle or 2 just in case.

5.  Popcorn and rice cakes – both are in salty and sweet varieties (some are both!)
