Mindful Celebrate the Wonder of Christmas with a Wine Advent Calendar

November 23, 2020 Mallory 8Comment

Over the past couple of months, I have surprisingly become more of a wine type of gal. I used to NEVER choose wine as my drink of choice when I go out or have a drink at home. I don’t know if it’s drinking at home more often (THANKS COVID) or what but lately I have been into it. **Disclosure: I am a professional website author that receives compensation from the companies whose products I review.

Mal's Thoughts Mal’s Thoughts: Auro Audio Fitness Trainer

July 15, 2020 Mallory 4Comment

If you follow my blog, you know that one area of life that I struggle to be consistent with is working out. At the beginning of January, I decided to get a gym membership (along with every other New Years’ resolutioner in the world). I told myself I wasn’t going to be like everyone else who starts working out in January and then just fades off. At my gym, when you join you get 3 free personal training sessions. I was excited to learn some exercises and thought this was something I might continue to do in order to hold…

April 6, 2020 Mallory 10Comment

Hey Everybody! Over the past week, I have been trying some of the meals over at Daily Harvest. I like them because we agree on the concept that putting good ingredients in your body makes you feel good. Also, we agree that HEALTHY FOOD CAN TASTE GOOD. I have been wanting to try Daily Harvest for a while now after seeing some of their ads on Instagram. They offer a lot of unique options that I wouldn’t normally try so it was interesting to see how the flavor combinations they chose work together. **Disclosure: I am a professional website author…

Mal's Thoughts Mal’s Thoughts: Warby Parker Glasses

June 6, 2019 Mallory 1Comment

As I have aged I noticed my eyesight is starting to decline. I go to the eye doctor probably once every year or so and every time….they change my prescription just a touch. Which means I need new glasses every year. Now I am not your typical human who wears contacts or glasses all of the time. My eyesight is good enough to get me through I just need them if I need to see far away or if I am driving. I should probably be wearing glasses all the time but sometimes it’s just hard to remember. **Disclosure: I…

Mal's Thoughts Mal’s Thoughts: Noom Weight Loss Program

May 9, 2019 Mallory 13Comment

I am the QUEEN of starting a new workout routine and doing great for 3 days and then forgetting about it. Finding time and motivation to exercise has proven itself to be difficult for me. The trendy diets that have come out over the years have never interested me. If I choose healthy foods most of the time that is good enough for me. (*Side Note* speaking of diets I recently started adding turmeric to EVERYTHING lately and have seen such positive results!) Exercising is another issue. No matter what I did I could not consistently exercise. It was never…
