Wanted to try to get another BLACK FRIDAY deal to Wanted to try to get another BLACK FRIDAY deal to Minky Couture for any of you who missed it back in November or were hoping to use it again!
.
It’s the same exact deal they offered for Black Friday and we are lucky enough to exclusively have it again for 2 days only!🎉🙌🏻
.
If you need a Baby Shower Gift, Wedding Gift or want something for Easter or even Mother’s Day, this is the best deal!
.
🌟Use code MELEA55 to get 55% off any FULL PRICED ITEMS at TheMeleaShow.com/MinkyDeal
.
👉🏻55% off is the same discount they offered in November for Black Friday! So I’m freaking out that they are letting us have it again for a few days.🤩
.
And YES! You CAN use this code at a Minky Store location if you have one nearby. So if you’d rather shop in person, do that!👊🏻
.
These are literally one of the best gifts ever, people obsess over them and they are the softest blankets ever made! Once you have one, you will understand the hype😉
.
Prices will vary depending on the size, thickness & style you pick. But whatever regular price you see, our code will take 55% off of that at checkout.
.
For example, for their CLASSIC colors & prints:

👉🏻Infant sizes are reg $79
(✨Only $36 with our code!)

👉🏻Travel sizes (36x60) are reg $129 (✨Only $59 with our code!)

👉🏻Adult sizes (30x60) are reg $179 (✨Only $81 with our code!)

👉🏻Monster sizes (60x72) are reg $239 (✨Only $108 with our code!)

👉🏻Grande sizes (60x84) are reg $289 (✨Only $131 with our code!)
.
Code won’t work on anything that’s already on sale or marked down. But I’d still check out their sale section in case you happen to see a great deal on a color/print that you want!
.
Hope a bunch of you are excited about this random Black Friday Deal! And hopefully a bunch of you can take advantage of it.
.
More help on my stories today too!😘

Kinda different, but Brady and I don’t usually d Kinda different, but Brady and I don’t usually do something big for Valentines Day.

We just focus on trying to get a date night in every single week instead! It’s been such a good thing for our marriage. And we swear by it! 
.
So since I don’t have a Valentine’s Day pic to share, this from a different date night will have to do😉

Do you do something big for Valentine’s Day? Or is it just another day for you?

👆🏻THE equation if you want to travel more! A 👆🏻THE equation if you want to travel more! And it’s the formula we used to make it happen for our own family!
.
I’ve been getting a lot of messages asking how we afford to travel so much.
.
Well, #1, it’s what I like to spend my extra money on😉 So I’m always saving up for the next vacation!
.
And #2, we definitely would not be able to afford our vacations if we still were in debt.
.
👉🏻BTW, I know some of you are thinking that all of our trips are sponsored. They aren’t. It’s actually pretty rare for us to have sponsored trips because I prefer to have full control over my vacations without brands telling me what I can and cannot do or say. All of my most-popular Travel Tips YouTube videos with millions of views are NOT sponsored. So yes, we do pay for most of the trips you see us go on and share!
.
🌟We got out of debt in 2011 because I KNEW there was no way to live the life we wanted if we had debt, then created new debts to take care of the old ones….it’s a vicious cycle, hard to get out and you pay thousands & thousands of dollars in interest!
.
🌤But it CAN be done!🙌🏻
.
🌟The only way to get out is to:
👉🏻Create a debt elimination plan (we did a “Snowball” plan)
👉🏻Get you and your spouse on board with the plan! 💥👆🏻IMPORTANT PART
👉🏻And follow the plan even when it sucks and you hate life and can’t afford to do anything fun for awhile!
.
🥵12 Years ago, we had over $32,000 in credit card debt, student loan debt, loans, etc. I remember feeling like I was drowning.😩 If you have debt right now (other than your home and/or cars), you might be feeling the same way.
.
🙏🏻I PROMISE YOU it is worth the pain once you are out!! It took us 18 months to do it!! And I’d go through that hellish struggle again to be where we are at now.
.
Whether you want to travel more or just be financially independent to do the things you’ve always wanted, this formula will make it happen for you! And it’ll make sure you have money for emergencies that pop up as well.
.
💬How do you afford to travel?? Any extra tips to share that have helped you?
🦥COSTA RICA TIPS PART 2 (continued from the las 🦥COSTA RICA TIPS PART 2 (continued from the last post, go back if you missed it😉)
.
5- Went to Tamarindo for the day…where they have perfect beginner, shallow waves to learn how to surf, with numerous locals offering lessons that will go into the water with you. Ate some great local food, had some amazing crepes at a place called Friends Cafe Crepes & Waffles and saw stunning sunsets where everyone on the beach just stops what they are doing and watches it.
.
6- And of course, you’ve gotta see the SLOTHS!😍 It was my #1 thing to do on this trip and we saw a Baby Sloth up close! And of course, lots of monkeys everywhere! (Video on my last post of those)
.
💬If you’ve done Costa Rica before and have favorite things to-do, I’d love to hear them for the future! And I’m sure others would love your must-do suggestions too!👇🏻

🐒Disappeared for a week to go to Costa Rica for 🐒Disappeared for a week to go to Costa Rica for the first time! We didn’t plan the trip, since it was a trip Brady earned for President’s Club from his company @ranliferealestate. But we had a great time and now have a bunch of tips for anyone who wants to go to Costa Rica one day! So I thought I’d share them below👇🏻
.
 🌟COSTA RICA TIPS POST #1:
.
1- We flew into the Liberia Airport (on the West Side of Costa Rica). There is another Airport, San Jose, (on the East Side), that is another option. Depending on where you live, prices and flight times will be drastically different. So price check BOTH airports when planning your trip!
.
2- On a future trip, I would plan 2-3 days up in Arenal and stay at one of the Hot Springs Hotels up there. Travel from either Liberia or San Jose takes HOURS…so you can’t really stay there and do the cool Arenal Volcano, waterfall & wildlife hikes up in Arenal without traveling 2-3 hours each way on an excursion!
.
3- We stayed at the Secrets Papagayo Resort in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It is a really nice adults-only hotel! BUT it was far away for a lot of excursions we wanted to do. So again, I’d research the excursions you want to do FIRST before booking hotels so you’re only traveling 30-45 minutes to do an excursion vs 2-3 hours each way.
.
4- We did do some fun excursions through a company called Royal Service Tours. 2 locals run it and they were great because we were able to customize our excursions and do things some of the bigger tour companies did not offer or even mention! Plus, it was CHEAPER than the same exact tours other companies were offering!🙌🏻 So you know I loved that too! 🌟They have 5-star reviews on Trip Advisor if you want to look them up for your trip: @royalservicetourscosta 
.
💥Got a few more Costa Rica tips on my next post! So go read that.👉🏻
.
Thanks to RANLife Real Estate for such a fun trip!
.
💥🏡And don’t forget, if you’re in Utah and need someone to help you sell or buy your home to MAKE SURE you get the best deal, Brady can help you do that. Just message me if you want to talk with him 😉 You know we are both all about getting you guys the best deals!

If 1 + 1 is NOT equaling 2, that is a huge sign th If 1 + 1 is NOT equaling 2, that is a huge sign that something in your body is not working right!
.
And I WISH someone would have told me this years ago.
.
After having kids (gaining 65 pounds with Devyn and 40 with Rockwell!🤯) nothing worked to lose the weight, to build muscle or get in shape.
.
It didn’t matter how hard I worked out, how perfect I ate, how low my calories were….what worked for everyone else didn’t work for me. And I couldn’t figure it out!
.
So I ate less like every “fitness professional” was spouting, worked out harder, tried every fad diet out there and was literally KILLING MYSELF because I knew 1 + 1 should equal 2. But for some reason, my body wasn’t doing what it was supposed to do.
.
Finally, a nutritionist said to me “I’ve never had a client eat so perfectly and have such horrible results. Something in your body isn’t working right. You need to get your blood work done and hormones tested.”
.
Until then, I hadn’t even thought that there could be something broken inside my body on a chemical or cellular level! I thought there was just something wrong with “me” & that I just had to “work harder”.
.
I found out my body stopped making testosterone after my Hysterectomy (my blood test literally didn’t register Testosterone in my body at all!😳) I had metabolic resistance syndrome (insulin resistance), food sensitivities that were doing all sorts of things to my body…Plus having endometriosis and no longer having a gallbladder made things even harder for my body to function normally.
.
Now every time the “math” doesn’t make sense, I know  there is something off or something not working right in my body that needs to be figured out!
.
God created our bodies to work a certain way. So if 1 +1 is not equaling 2 for you regarding fitness or your health or how you feel or how your body is supposed to function, it SHOULD.
.
It’s crazy to me that at age 40, I’m now in the best shape of my life! And I FEEL the best I’ve ever felt!
.
I could have spared myself a lot of pain, depression and frustration if I could have learned this sooner. So I’m hoping that sharing this can help some of you!❤️
.
Anyone else going through this right now??🙋🏼‍♀️

Coronavirus & ALL THE FREEBIES: Education, Entertainment & Services

I test, try & share the BEST so you don’t waste your money on things like Travel, Beauty, Finances, Mom stuff & more😉
I do use affiliate links So if you use my links, I may get a commission (at no extra cost to you) Plus, by partnering & affiliating with brands, I am able to score EXCLUSIVE deals just for us. SCORE!


With the current evolving changes the Coronavirus is causing, we’ve seen a lot of panic and fear. But there are also a ton of companies who have come out of the woodwork to help–offering FREE resources for at-home schooling, waiving late fees for utilities, internet & cell phones and giving FREE access to services they usually charge for! And they keep coming! Since there are so many news updates & announcements to sift through, I thought I would put together a list of all the resources to help you get through the Coronavirus Lockdown with your families.

All I ask in return? Please SHARE ALL THE GOOD with your friends & other families by forwarding them this list and making life much, much easier!! Having it all in one place can help offer a little relief knowing that we have so many amazing resources at our fingertips. And I’ll continue to update it!

UPDATED APRIL 2, 2020

EDUCATIONAL, SCHOOL & LEARNING RESOURCES

I’ll keep this one short & simple. There are a bunch of awesome bloggers who have put together extensive lists for this already. No point in doing it twice:

  • http://www.amazingeducationalresources.com/ There are HUNDREDS on this list and it is updated daily! Go support this awesome list they’ve put together!

Caribu is an app, kind of like Facetime, but for kids. And there are activities & games they can play together online WITH their friends! It’s normally $7 a month but is FREE right now! So set up virtual playdates with friends!

Ivy League Schools are now offering over 450 of their classes online for FREE! Ever wanted to go to Harvard, Princeton or Yale? Now’s your chance to take some of their classes!

Delish is offering FREE Cook-Along Classes for you and your kids! Details over here.

FREE Rosetta Stone access for students for 3 months. Learn a new language or get help with dual-immersion languages.

FREE WORKOUTS, YOGA & GYMS ONLINE

High Fitness is offering several online workout options to choose from, in lieu of in-person classes – YouTube, Zoom or a Live Stream! Register over here to get access to the LIVE workouts. Or check out their YouTube for free on-demand workouts

National Parks have temporarily stopped park fees for any National Park locations still open. Here is that announcement. And you will want to go here to see which National Park locations are STILL open.

Peloton is offering new users a Free 90-Day Trial on its app. You DO NOT need to have a Peloton Bike or Treadmill in order to use the app. It can be used with any bike, treadmill and the app also has numerous workout classes, yoga & meditation exercises.

Golds Gym is offering Free Access to its app. They have over 600 workouts and workout music mixes.

Orange Theory is uploading a Free 30 Minute Workout each day on its website for you to do at home. No equipment needed as they get creative and have you use things you would normally have at home.

Planet Fitness is offering Home Work-Ins FREE–streaming live every day at 7pm ET on their Facebook Page.

Core Power Yoga and DownDog are both offering some of their Yoga Classes for FREE.

The Daily Burn is offering a FREE 30-Day Trial to its streaming fitness classes.

Tone it Up App Free for 30 Days for New Subscribers

For those of you who want to do what I’ve been doing for the last 6 months, it’s called The Mommy Tummy Fix. With our code MELEA30, you can get it for $67 instead of $97. It’s yours FOR LIFE- No Subscriptions of any kind. This program is what helped me lose over 8 inches in my tummy, fix my diastisis recti and drop 2 full sizes in clothing. It’s been a god send for me. So while I know it isn’t FREE, it is something that I have personal experience with it working. And a lot of you have had amazing results too! If you haven’t heard of it, watch it over here on my Instagram Stories for all the info and my BEFORE/AFTER pics.

And don’t forget! You can find any type of workout you are looking for over on YouTube. All are FREE. (If you don’t follow my YouTube Channel yet, make sure you follow while you’re over there 😉 )

INTERNET, CELL PHONE EXTENSIONS & NO LATE FEES

Keep Americans Connected Pledge: Asks that companies not terminate service due to non-payment or charge late fees due to the economic effects of the coronavirus for 60 days! And it includes residential service & small businesses. Who has signed the pledge?

  • Comcast
  • Verizon
  • AT&T
  • Charter
  • CenturyLink
  • Cox
  • Sonic
  • Sprint
  • T-Mobile
  • And lots more (head here to see the full list of participants)

The pledge also states that these companies will open FREE wi-fi spots to any American who needs them. (Most of these are at public locations & small businesses) If your service provider is on the list, I would head to their website directly to get full details and to see what they are currently doing to help. For example, T-Mobile has removed all data caps for its mobile customers. I’m sure other providers will follow suit as well. So it’s best to head to their websites directly for more info on what they’re doing and offering and if anything has changed.

FREE STREAMING SERVICES, eBOOKS & ENTERTAINMENT

There are a lot of online streaming services out there. Many already have Free Trials and due to the Coronavirus and quarantine situations popping up everywhere across the nation, a lot have extended their Free Trials even longer. Here’s a good starting list if you need one!

  • Amazon Prime Video: Free 30 Day Trial (Plus, you get the other benefits of Amazon Prime, Free 2-Day Shipping, Free Prime Reading, Free Prime Music, Audible Books and a slew of other perks.)
  • Netflix: Free 30 Day Trial
  • Hulu: Free 30 Day Trial
  • Disney+: 7 Day Free Trial. **If you have Verizon, use this link to see if you qualify to get Disney+ FREE for an entire year! That’s what we did! (They’ve also released content earlier than originally scheduled–including Frozen2!)
  • The New York City’s Metropolitan Opera has cancelled live performances and instead is streaming them live online. One each night at 7pm EST!
  • Google’s Art & Culture Collection will let you take virtual tours of hundreds of museums around the world for FREE!
  • Kindle Unlimited: Free 30 Day Trial! You DO NOT need a Kindle to use this service. Read anytime on any device. Just download the Kindle App. This is the service I still use now, even though I’m past the free trial.
  • Scholastic: Free 20-Day online access to their Learn at Home website.
  • VidAngel: Free Access through April! Filters and Parental Controls for Netflix, Amazon, and other popular services. No CC necessary!

FOOD & RESTAURANT DELIVERY SERVICES

A lot of restaurants are no longer allowing in-house dining to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus. Instead, they are offering pick-up or delivery services instead!

DoorDash App: Order food from a restaurant nearby. A driver will pick up your order & bring it to your home. In the instructions, let your driver know they can leave your food order on the front porch if you want contactless delivery. If you are new to DoorDash, use this link and DoorDash will give you $5 off each of your first 3 orders. We’ve used this service a few times and you’ll find lots of restaurants also offering FREE DELIVERY on a regular basis. So look for those offers as well! (TIP: Don’t confuse regular DoorDash with DashPass….DashPass is a subscription thing. And you do not need to do that in order to order food or use their app.)

GrubHub: Another app to order from a restaurant nearby and have it delivered to your home. If you are new to GrubHub, use this link and you will get $10 off your first order.

They are also offering a Free 2 Week GrubHub+ Trial that will get you Free Unlimited Delivery & 10% CashBack. If you don’t cancel before the first two weeks are up, you will get charged $9.99 a month.

Instacart: This grocery delivery service has also implemented a contactless delivery option when ordering your groceries online. You can order groceries from just about any grocery store, warehouse store (like Costco) or drugstore in your area and your order will be delivered to you the same day. When getting messages from the driver, let them know to leave your deliveries on your porch. If you haven’t used Instacart before, use this link and it will give you $10 off your first order.

Dominos, Pizza Hut & Little Caesars have all announced contactless deliveries where you can order your pizza and instruct the drivers to leave you order outside when delivered.

UberEats: Same concept as GrubHub and DoorDash above. Use code eats-a6d8p at signup and it will give you a $7 off your first order. You can message drivers to leave your order at the front door as well.

Curbside Pickup: Lots of restaurants already offer a Curbside Pickup option (like Chili’s, Applebee’s, Macaroni Grill, Longhorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Robin, etc) and now most dining establishments will be implementing the same thing. So if you do want to pick up a meal, there should still be plenty of options for the time being.

Girl Scouts of America is selling their Girl Scout Cookies ONLINE to be shipped to you! So if you have a craving for Girl Scout Cookies, get them over here. Or donate cookies to local healthcare workers and first responders.

FREE PRESCRIPTION DELIVERY

Both Walgreens & CVS have announced they are offering Free Prescription Delivery. Check out their websites for full details and if there are any prescription not participating.

TRAVEL

U-Haul is giving 30 days FREE Self-Storage to College Students needing to move last minute due to Universities shutting down from the Coronavirus.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is waiving “younger renter fees” and reducing the age minimum so college age students 18-24 can get home after campus closures across the country.

Major Airlines are offering Free Cancelation Fees & Change Fees — even if your ticket was not originally refundable or changeable. We had to do this with Delta this past week. And instead of losing our money on the flight, we were able to cancel and were given a credit voucher to use to purchase a new flight. **Airlines are changing what they are doing & implementing DAILY! So I would highly suggest that you check the website directly to see what the current refund/rebooking status is. I was able to do our cancellation online, without having to wait on hold for hours.

Hilton, Marriott, InterContinental Hotels Group and Omni Hotels & Resorts are waiving cancellation fees on existing bookings through the end of April.

ANYTHING ELSE??

I’m sure there are some major offers or freebies I might have missed. Or some that might come out after this post is written. If that’s the case, please let me know so I can add it! It’s easiest to just comment on my most recent Instagram post. Instagram usually notifies me when a new comment pops up! So it’s the easiest & the fastest usually. Don’t forget to follow me while you’re there. 😉

Wanted to try to get another BLACK FRIDAY deal to Wanted to try to get another BLACK FRIDAY deal to Minky Couture for any of you who missed it back in November or were hoping to use it again!
.
It’s the same exact deal they offered for Black Friday and we are lucky enough to exclusively have it again for 2 days only!🎉🙌🏻
.
If you need a Baby Shower Gift, Wedding Gift or want something for Easter or even Mother’s Day, this is the best deal!
.
🌟Use code MELEA55 to get 55% off any FULL PRICED ITEMS at TheMeleaShow.com/MinkyDeal
.
👉🏻55% off is the same discount they offered in November for Black Friday! So I’m freaking out that they are letting us have it again for a few days.🤩
.
And YES! You CAN use this code at a Minky Store location if you have one nearby. So if you’d rather shop in person, do that!👊🏻
.
These are literally one of the best gifts ever, people obsess over them and they are the softest blankets ever made! Once you have one, you will understand the hype😉
.
Prices will vary depending on the size, thickness & style you pick. But whatever regular price you see, our code will take 55% off of that at checkout.
.
For example, for their CLASSIC colors & prints:

👉🏻Infant sizes are reg $79
(✨Only $36 with our code!)

👉🏻Travel sizes (36x60) are reg $129 (✨Only $59 with our code!)

👉🏻Adult sizes (30x60) are reg $179 (✨Only $81 with our code!)

👉🏻Monster sizes (60x72) are reg $239 (✨Only $108 with our code!)

👉🏻Grande sizes (60x84) are reg $289 (✨Only $131 with our code!)
.
Code won’t work on anything that’s already on sale or marked down. But I’d still check out their sale section in case you happen to see a great deal on a color/print that you want!
.
Hope a bunch of you are excited about this random Black Friday Deal! And hopefully a bunch of you can take advantage of it.
.
More help on my stories today too!😘

Kinda different, but Brady and I don’t usually d Kinda different, but Brady and I don’t usually do something big for Valentines Day.
.
We just focus on trying to get a date night in every single week instead! It’s been such a good thing for our marriage. And we swear by it! 
.
So since I don’t have a Valentine’s Day pic to share, this from a different date night will have to do😉
.
Do you do something big for Valentine’s Day? Or is it just another day for you?

Tell me what you did for Valentine’s Day below and I’ll tell you what we did in the comments below too!❤️

👆🏻THE equation if you want to travel more! A 👆🏻THE equation if you want to travel more! And it’s the formula we used to make it happen for our own family!
.
I’ve been getting a lot of messages asking how we afford to travel so much.
.
Well, #1, it’s what I like to spend my extra money on😉 So I’m always saving up for the next vacation!
.
And #2, we definitely would not be able to afford our vacations if we still were in debt.
.
👉🏻BTW, I know some of you are thinking that all of our trips are sponsored. They aren’t. It’s actually pretty rare for us to have sponsored trips because I prefer to have full control over my vacations without brands telling me what I can and cannot do or say. All of my most-popular Travel Tips YouTube videos with millions of views are NOT sponsored. So yes, we do pay for most of the trips you see us go on and share!
.
🌟We got out of debt in 2011 because I KNEW there was no way to live the life we wanted if we had debt, then created new debts to take care of the old ones….it’s a vicious cycle, hard to get out and you pay thousands & thousands of dollars in interest!
.
🌤But it CAN be done!🙌🏻
.
🌟The only way to get out is to:
👉🏻Create a debt elimination plan (we did a “Snowball” plan)
👉🏻Get you and your spouse on board with the plan! 💥👆🏻IMPORTANT PART
👉🏻And follow the plan even when it sucks and you hate life and can’t afford to do anything fun for awhile!
.
🥵12 Years ago, we had over $32,000 in credit card debt, student loan debt, loans, etc. I remember feeling like I was drowning.😩 If you have debt right now (other than your home and/or cars), you might be feeling the same way.
.
🙏🏻I PROMISE YOU it is worth the pain once you are out!! It took us 18 months to do it!! And I’d go through that hellish struggle again to be where we are at now.
.
Whether you want to travel more or just be financially independent to do the things you’ve always wanted, this formula will make it happen for you! And it’ll make sure you have money for emergencies that pop up as well.
.

5- Went to Tamarindo for the day…where they have perfect beginner, shallow waves to learn how to surf, with numerous locals offering lessons that will go into the water with you. Ate some great local food, had some amazing crepes at a place called Friends Cafe Crepes & Waffles and saw stunning sunsets where everyone on the beach just stops what they are doing and watches it.
.
6- And of course, you’ve gotta see the SLOTHS!😍 It was my #1 thing to do on this trip and we saw a Baby Sloth up close! And of course, lots of monkeys everywhere! (Video on my last post of those)
.
💬If you’ve done Costa Rica before and have favorite things to-do, I’d love to hear them for the future! And I’m sure others would love your must-do suggestions too!👇🏻

🐒Disappeared for a week to go to Costa Rica for 🐒Disappeared for a week to go to Costa Rica for the first time! We didn’t plan the trip, since it was a trip Brady earned for President’s Club from his company @ranliferealestate. But we had a great time and now have a bunch of tips for anyone who wants to go to Costa Rica one day! So I thought I’d share them below👇🏻
.
 🌟COSTA RICA TIPS POST #1:
.
1- We flew into the Liberia Airport (on the West Side of Costa Rica). There is another Airport, San Jose, (on the East Side), that is another option. Depending on where you live, prices and flight times will be drastically different. So price check BOTH airports when planning your trip!
.
2- On a future trip, I would plan 2-3 days up in Arenal and stay at one of the Hot Springs Hotels up there. Travel from either Liberia or San Jose takes HOURS…so you can’t really stay there and do the cool Arenal Volcano, waterfall & wildlife hikes up in Arenal without traveling 2-3 hours each way on an excursion!
.
3- We stayed at the Secrets Papagayo Resort in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It is a really nice adults-only hotel! BUT it was far away for a lot of excursions we wanted to do. So again, I’d research the excursions you want to do FIRST before booking hotels so you’re only traveling 30-45 minutes to do an excursion vs 2-3 hours each way.
.
4- We did do some fun excursions through a company called Royal Service Tours. 2 locals run it and they were great because we were able to customize our excursions and do things some of the bigger tour companies did not offer or even mention! Plus, it was CHEAPER than the same exact tours other companies were offering!🙌🏻 So you know I loved that too! 🌟They have 5-star reviews on Trip Advisor if you want to look them up for your trip: @royalservicetourscosta 
.
💥Got a few more Costa Rica tips on my next post! So go read that.👉🏻
.
Thanks to RANLife Real Estate for such a fun trip!
.
💥🏡And don’t forget, if you’re in Utah and need someone to help you sell or buy your home to MAKE SURE you get the best deal, Brady can help you do that. Just message me if you want to talk with him 😉 You know we are both all about getting you guys the best deals!

If 1 + 1 is NOT equaling 2, that is a huge sign th If 1 + 1 is NOT equaling 2, that is a huge sign that something in your body is not working right!
.
And I WISH someone would have told me this years ago.
.
After having kids (gaining 65 pounds with Devyn and 40 with Rockwell!🤯) nothing worked to lose the weight, to build muscle or get in shape.
.
It didn’t matter how hard I worked out, how perfect I ate, how low my calories were….what worked for everyone else didn’t work for me. And I couldn’t figure it out!
.
So I ate less like every “fitness professional” was spouting, worked out harder, tried every fad diet out there and was literally KILLING MYSELF because I knew 1 + 1 should equal 2. But for some reason, my body wasn’t doing what it was supposed to do.
.
Finally, a nutritionist said to me “I’ve never had a client eat so perfectly and have such horrible results. Something in your body isn’t working right. You need to get your blood work done and hormones tested.”
.
Until then, I hadn’t even thought that there could be something broken inside my body on a chemical or cellular level! I thought there was just something wrong with “me” & that I just had to “work harder”.
.
I found out my body stopped making testosterone after my Hysterectomy (my blood test literally didn’t register Testosterone in my body at all!😳) I had metabolic resistance syndrome (insulin resistance), food sensitivities that were doing all sorts of things to my body…Plus having endometriosis and no longer having a gallbladder made things even harder for my body to function normally.
.
Now every time the “math” doesn’t make sense, I know  there is something off or something not working right in my body that needs to be figured out!
.
God created our bodies to work a certain way. So if 1 +1 is not equaling 2 for you regarding fitness or your health or how you feel or how your body is supposed to function, it SHOULD.
.
It’s crazy to me that at age 40, I’m now in the best shape of my life! And I FEEL the best I’ve ever felt!
.
I could have spared myself a lot of pain, depression and frustration if I could have learned this sooner. So I’m hoping that sharing this can help some of you!❤️
.
Anyone else going through this right now??🙋🏼‍♀️
You CANNOT just show up at Disney World without a You CANNOT just show up at Disney World without a researched plan and expect the trip to go smoothly or do everything you want to do! It is nothing like Disneyland (where you actually could do that)
.

.
Doesn’t mean there weren’t unplanned complications. Cuz there were!😜 But it does mean we knew exactly how to adjust when things like broken down rides happened.😉
