Grocery shopping can be overwhelming some time. It might even be a challenge to find healthy food especially when you are on a tighter budget. I’ve decided to write a few tips down below which might be helpful for everyone.

In my opinion, everyone who really wants a lifestyle change is able to get it. Not overnight or in a short amount of time, but if you start with small, sustainable changes you will be able to change the way you feel about food and the way you see food. No one should punish their bodies by restricting themselves or starving – instead we all should nourish, respect and love our bodies. I discussed the topic about lifestyle changes and nutritional changes with a friend a few days ago and thought it might be a good post and a starting point for anyone who is new or not really sure on where to start when it comes to nutrition.

One perk of living in New York are the farmers markets during summer time. Different local farmers offer fresh, locally grown and organic products. I ran out of honey so I decided to pick up everything from the Rockefeller Farmers Market. I got a bunch of different vegetables, fruits, local honey and maple syrup which I will need for my homemade granola. I love shopping from local farmers, besides the fact that I’m able to support local businesses, I also know where the products come from. I just hope that these markets will get rid of the plastic bags and use paper or cotton bags for their products.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We all know it, we all do it, every single year, over and over again: new years resolutions. Let’s be honest, how many times were you thinking about something and definitely planning on doing but then ended up not achieving it? I know it’s frustrating and we’ve all been there at some point. Many people actually plan on changing their life: trying to live a healthier and more active lifestyle, or signing up for a gym membership, etc…but when spring comes around the corner, well let’s say it is not our number one priority anymore, right? But how can we change something that actually lasts? Are we able to create new habits and how does it work?
