𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠? ✔️📖🏃🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
I shared more about this in stories last week and recently dedicated an entire blog post to the subject because it’s THAT much of a game-changer.⁣
⁣
Basically, habit stacking is a strategy that enables you to do more things when you feel like you don’t have the time. It’s combining two goals or actions, and turning them into habits that you can easily merge together and do at the same time. Doing these same stacked activities on the regular will help you build more long-term habits, so think about your ideal frequency and make it realistic. The consistent repetition will help you build each habit faster! 💯⁣
⁣
The end goal is to train your brain to build more habits that become second nature. You just do them. 🧠💡⁣
⁣
For example, it’s listening to an educational podcast while you’re working out at the gym. You’re working out, but you’re also learning something new or getting your fix on entertainment in the same hour. Another example is drinking a large glass of water before your morning coffee to make sure that you’re starting the day off hydrated. It’s simply adding something else (a goal) to a task that you’re already doing to turn the act of doing one thing into two.⁣
⁣
We dive a lot deeper into this strategy on Life In Leggings and talk about a specific formula on what, when and how to start stacking for success. There’s over twenty real-life examples that I have personally implemented and loved, and all the deets are up at bit.ly/lilhabitstacking (link in bio) 💻✨⁣
⁣
Now tell me your favorite new goal paired with a task you already do in 3 ... 2 ... GO. 👇🏼 #healthyhabits #habitstacking

𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 ✨ Really meant for tomorrow.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
ONE THING. That's all we're talking about here ... think about one thing you can do at the start of a new week that will really make a difference later on.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Is it finally starting Chapter One in a new certification (your girl 🙋🏼‍♀️)?⁣⁣
⁣
Is it getting to bed at a reasonable hour?⁣
⁣⁣
Is it making sure that you fit your workout in?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Is it putting a grocery list together that will set you up to make healthy meals and snacks in a pinch?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You don't have to have it all figured out to start the journey. In fact, the best ones begin a little bumpy. The most important thing to do is simply START.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐎 𝐍 𝐄 𝐓 𝐇 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆.⁣⁣

Tell me what your plans are this week that your future self will thank you for in the comments! 👇🏽⁣⁣

I am so excited to share this one with you today ... the prize value is amazing!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I don't know about you, but I'm just over here doing my best to figure out what the future looks like. I don't have the answers of what's next, or even know if I should go with a side part or middle part (the debate is real with Gen Zers and millennials), but I do know that I'm embracing the mom jeans for a practical and comfortable new style trend that I'm totally digging.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Something I'm also very into right now is the sunshine that's slowly creeping into our days here in NYC. Spring weather ... is that you in the distance? I hope so!⁣⁣⁣⁣

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 …⁣
⁣
If you’re new around here, then you might have no idea why an update is needed. Well, here’s the long and short of it!⁣
⁣
𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘣 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟶:⁣
⁣
💻 My husband and I both left our full-time jobs to pursue our own businesses. I decided to work for myself at home while taking care of Skyler, and Scott runs his own consulting business in entertainment, production, and live entertainment.⁣
⁣
⛔ We went into a global pandemic, and all events and travels were cancelled indefinitely.⁣
⁣
💄 Since then, I’ve been revamping my blog (Life In Leggings), selling Beautycounter, and staying very busy as Skyler’s mom.⁣
⁣
✈️ Scott has been looking for what’s next in the entertainment industry (unless the world opens up tomorrow), has been volunteering his time at local food pantries, has been traveling to help disaster relief, and has been gigging as an actor and stunt man here in NYC.⁣
⁣
🎬 What does this consist of? Anything really. His last commercial shoot had him driving a $100,000 BMW over 100 mph, and we are shooting a commercial for an air purifier together in just a week or so. It’s always random and unexpected!⁣
⁣
𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺:⁣
⁣
I’m still working my online businesses.⁣
⁣
Scott is currently on a mission to help administer vaccines to a community that would not have access to it otherwise. ⁣
⁣
Scott interviews for new jobs and opportunities on the regular, and the right “yes” could literally move us across the country (or world) at a moment’s notice. It’s crazy.⁣
⁣
We are praying for direction and that God does His thing to provide the clear path.⁣
⁣
Just like the last decade has shown, life is full of surprises. I could go on and on about what I have learned from these years of living through many seasons of uncertainties, but I’ll leave it there for now.⁣
⁣
Thank you for being along for the ride, and I’m pretty much an open book if you have any questions. Here until further notice! 🗽✌🏻 #hbshinnyc

𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 ✨ because change can be scary, but necessary.⁣
⁣
Albert Einstein once quoted the definition of insanity as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." But you already knew that the man was a genius. 💡⁣
⁣
Seriously though, how often do you catch yourself doing the same routine day after day, then getting upset that nothing changes? This has happened to me many, many times, and what I wasn't taking into account was ...⁣
⁣
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬.⁣
⁣
𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵! ⁣
⁣
If you're looking to grow in whatever you're doing, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 in your routine or day needs some tweaking. Without that, your results will most likely stay the same, which is fine, but it's probably not the progress that you're looking for.⁣
⁣
I hope this serves as a reminder to change something for the better in your days this week. Even if it's terrifying!⁣
⁣
And friend, if making that change gets you really nervous, that just means that it's really important to you. Don't discredit that!⁣
⁣
Now tell me one thing you'd like to progress in, I'll go first: getting back in the habit of getting up before anyone in the house M-F which requires a consistent bedtime. (I told you, change is scary!)⁣
⁣
What's one of yours?! 👇🏼⁣

Date Nights In be like ... 🙃🍽🍷✨

I wanted to gift Scott something unique and fun for Valentine’s Day this year and found a huge win in an online cooking class with @surlatable!

Check out all the deets and links in today’s Friday Favorites post on Life In Leggings at bit.ly/lilfaves2-19 (link in bio).

We both really enjoyed the experience of cooking together (which isn’t always the case, lol), learned a few tips, and highly recommend you give it a try for a fun date night at home, or excuse to brush up on your cooking skills.

The meal turned out amazing! 🥩😍

What’s your idea of a good date night at home? We’re going to attempt to make this a regular concept this year. 🤞🏼 #dateyourspouse #hbshinnyc

Let's talk about dry winter skin and what you can

Let's talk about dry winter skin and what you can do to help it. (I fight this, too!) ❄️🙋🏻‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A popular question around this time of year is what are the go-to suggestions and products to help with dry, peeling skin. ⁣
⁣
𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 ...⁣
⁣
✨ 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐦:⁣⁣
Use as a hydrating cleanser, a makeup remover, to treat dry spots all over, and (my favorite) as an overnight mask once a week. You can even use it as a barrier from your mask to your skin if you have to wear one at work for hours a a time. Apply some where the mask touches your face and it helps with irritation and breakouts. The best multitasker!⁣
⁣⁣
✨ 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐢𝐥𝐬: ⁣⁣
Add your favorite (Beautycounter has No. 1 for brightening, No. 2 for plumping and No. 3 for balancing) to your morning and night routine with a few drops before or even mixed in with your moisturizer. It really makes a big difference in cooler climates, and the bottles last forever.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨ 𝐏𝐌 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐫:⁣⁣
Definitely moisturize in the morning (this is key!), but are you also using a moisturizer specifically formulated for night time recovery? These tend to be thicker and more luxurious. You don’t need a lot, as they are very condensed and work their magic while you sleep. My top pick in this category is the Countertime Supreme Cream.⁣
⁣⁣
❄️⁣
⁣
Also, make sure that you're drinking plenty of water, go easy on the exfoliators until it gets better, and try putting a humidifier in your bedroom!⁣

What are some things that you love about yourself? If you can't name a few right off the bat, then it might be time for a little self care and self appreciation. ⁣

It's easy to be your worst critic and judge yourself way harder than anyone else ever would. I get it because I've totally been there, and it wasn't a fun mindset to live in. And friend, let me tell you from experience that it gets a whole lot brighter once you learn to become your biggest cheerleader.⁣

And I hope sharing these inspires you to start a list of your own.

I'd love to know ... what is one thing that you love and appreciate about yourself? Drop it in the comments and maybe share this with a friend who might need to hear it. ⁣

I hope you are spending the day with those you love, and most importantly, showing some love to yourself, too. ⁣

If you've been following along in stories, then you already know about a new series that you can expect to see weekly around here. 👏🏽⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬 is something I started on the blog back in September 2013! Every week, I take a look back at some of my favorite highlights or products that I've been loving and want to share with you and compile them into a casual end-of-the-week post. I've taken several weeks off from the series throughout the years, but faves have been back on the regular for a while now! And that makes me happy.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Well, since Friday Favorites has been one of the most requested topics to keep posting about, I thought it would be fun to create an Instagram version where we take off the "content creator" hat, peel back the curtain with some real talk, and show more of our imperfect selves.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's easy to get wrapped up into sharing content that hits your specific target audience, which is important if you want to provide valuable information to people who are looking for it. That is my goal with this space during the week from Mondays - Thursdays. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Fridays, however, are reserved for less structure and more vulnerability. I want to talk more about mom life, real life struggles, the ups and downs of city living and more as we peel back the curtain a little. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 will hopefully make you feel like we're chatting over a cup of coffee (or wine!) and just get to know each other better. ⁣⁣

Have you ever tried cooking with your kids and inv

Have you ever tried cooking with your kids and inviting them into the process of creating your meals? It definitely takes more patience (and time!), but it’s worth it in the end when you can learn, explore and have fun while cooking together. 👩🏽‍🍳✨

I have been including our two-year-old into the kitchen for a little over six months now, and I wish that I started it sooner. Skyler lights up seeing how things are made and asks alllll the questions. I love seeing his little mind work and process things like how ingredients turn into the dishes we know and enjoy on the regular.

I do not consider myself an expert on the subject, but I do have a collection of tips that I have tried on cooking with kids with great success, and I shared all about it on Life In Leggings today. 💻🍽️

Check it out at http://bit.ly/lilcookingwithkids (link in bio) and let me know some of your best tips or fails on cooking with littles below! #lifeinleggingsfamily
