Inspiring Books to Help You Live Your Best Life

December 9 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Health, Intentional Living, Productivity, Self-Employment, Simple Living

We all want to make positive improvements in our lives, but sometimes it can be overwhelming to figure out where to begin.

I personally love the inspiration I get from reading a good self-development book. While you actually have to do the work to apply the strategies provided to your own life to have them make an impact, it all starts with that motivation that comes from a spark of inspiration while you’re reading.

I know that I can’t be the only one who is always on the lookout for some good self-development books, so I decided to do a round up of a few of my favorites to share with you all today!

These books all focus on different areas of your life, and will hopefully provide you with some encouragement and information to help you live your best life. The books I mention below cover a range of topics that include: ways to create happiness, how to live with less, living a healthier life, developing better habits, and tips for being successful in all aspects of life.

15 Powerful Ways to Show Gratitude for Others

November 23 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Intentional Living

Although our friends and family might know we love them, I think many of us often get so caught up in the busyness of life that we forget to express how grateful we are for them.

Showing gratitude for others seems to be something that happens less and less in today’s world filled with too many screens and not enough face-to-face time.

Between running kids to and from appointment and activities, juggling work and duties around your home, and trying to keep up with your daily responsibilities, it can be easy to forget to make the time to show sincere gratitude for others. I think it’s so important for our relationships and our happiness to make a point to try to brighten someone else’s day and let them know how much they mean to us. After all, our time with them may be much shorter than we realize. [Read more…]

A big thank you to Nature’s Bounty® Earthly Elements™ for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.

We all have those days where we are just absolutely draggingggggg.

Sometimes even when I get a great night’s sleep, I still wake up feeling like I just don’t have the energy to get everything done that I need to do.

You all know that I love my coffee, but if consumed too much, that’s really not the healthiest way to get the energy boost that I need on those extra tough days. When I was pregnant with Little Miss, I liked to keep my caffeine consumption subdued and was forced to come up with some alternative ways to get me through my busiest days.

Today I’m sharing some of my top tips to energize yourself, and I hope these help you when you are having one of those days where you just can’t seem to snap yourself into being productive. [Read more…]

Happy Friday, Friends!

It seems like it’s been a crazy last few weeks over here. My hubby was traveling a lot for work, and things have really picked up with both my freelance business & my blog so it’s been one big juggling act over here that has involved 1,849,387 cups of coffee and lots of waking up before dawn.

Sleep deprivation aside, I’ve realized time and time again that I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. Both starting my freelance biz and starting a blog have been such a blessing to me and my family! [Read more…]
