Keto Friendly Eating w/FACTOR
I am super excited for this new trial run with the Factor meal plan delivery subscription! If you haven’t heard of it and you want to give a keto-friendly diet a try, I strongly recommend this super simple, convenient, and affordable subscription plan. Factor makes it easier than ever to follow with fresh, chef-prepared, low-carb, high-fat meals delivered right to your door. These meals cater to the high-fat, low-carb restrictions of a keto diet. Best of all, they take just minutes to heat, eat and enjoy! Which is why I am giving it a try. As a single mom of 3, running 2 small companies, I’ve given up on the idea that I have to make dinner so many times a week. At home, each of us has different food allergies or calorie requirements which makes it impossible to cook a single meal that satisfies us all.

Happy New Year S.T.Y.L.E Nation!
2021 was WAY busier than we expected and we are grateful for it. But we owe you the Matcha Monday 411! What better time to pick up on the benefits of matcha than the first week of the new year? In past blogs, we’ve talked about how matcha is rich in antioxidants, supports brain function, and reduces your risk of heart disease.
Today we want to tackle one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions and the magic of matcha…weight loss!
Post Covid Outlook
In my very first STYLE blog I wrote about “Gratitude”, which was inspired by some of the deepest trials in life. Here I am again on the heels of another trial, the first day leaving my house after 20 days of COVID. 15 of those days being the worst sickness I’ve ever had. Let’s be clear, I unfortunately still have residual symptoms and I will still have to ease my way back into life and health, but I finally feel like a person again.

Matcha Monday P. 3
Hello Friends of the Matcha Revolution! I’m happy that you all are benefiting from these posts! I’ve had a few people reach out and tell me they read my blog and tried my “Secret Starbucks Matcha Recipe” (posted at the end of Matcha Monday Part 2) and loved it ☺ I’ve also had a few people tell me they had no idea how many health benefits it had and that they are trying to switch over from drinking coffee or pop (or soda as some call it…wink wink).

Matcha Monday P. 2
Welcome to Matcha Monday Part 2! There have been several special requests for this follow up to “I Love You So Matcha!” (y'all know who you are). Apparently, I’ve been dragging my feet and time has just zoomed by since my last Matcha post. Sorry Guys!

“I Love You So Matcha!”
That is the saying on a mug I got from one of my dearest friend’s last year in my birthday basket. I am a self-proclaimed connoisseur of Matcha. I have been drinking green tea for about 30 years now. I first discovered it when I worked with a tea company called Tea & Company in San Francisco (Jill & Gary if you’re out there somewhere, this is a shout out to you!). They were later sold and are now known as The Mighty Tea Leaf ☺

Gratitude
Now looking back in the rear view mirror…there are so many lessons I’ve learned this past year. The greatest thing I’ve taken away from the experiences I’ve had is how “Gratitude” is one of the single most important attributes to carry with you all day, every day. It’s easy to be thankful when good and exciting things happen, but what happens inside of us when challenges, obstacles or, what we perceive as, negative events, occur? We fold, we doubt, we fear.
