Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night fea

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night fearful of how fast time is passing. And then after an hour or so of scrolling through old videos and pictures, I remind myself that fearing the passing of time won’t help. Time will pass, it’s inevitable but 📍promising to take advantage of every moment, vowing to make memories every single day, and committing to being as present as possible—that will help.
❓Anyone else trying to conquer time anxiety?

I’m so proud of my bestie @chefputtie 🙌🏽 She just launched her pancake mix @simplyputtspancakes and they’re selling out like hotcakes—all puns intended. The kids and I used the gluten-free mix this morning but honestly you couldn’t even tell these were gluten-free 🥞. She also makes a coconut banana mix. They’re crispy, fluffy, soft and delicious all the same time! They were also easy, fast, and fun to make. 👀 her page to get a box. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #simplyputtspancakes

Y’all asked: “What is red light therapy and ho

Y’all asked: “What is red light therapy and how does it work?”
📍Red Light Therapy is used by doctors, health spas, and physical therapists all over the 🌎 RLT has been shown to increase cellular energy by stimulating the mitochondria (which is responsible for producing the energy necessary for a cell’s survival and function). By increasing the function of the mitochondria a cell can make more ATP (the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level). With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate, and repair damage quicker.
The first time I used RLT was back in 2016 and I remember buzzing all day. Devices were SO expensive back then but have since become more affordable. I got one last year and love using it for 10 minutes a day. I instantly feel more energized, I’m in a better mood and I sleep better.
✨Other potential benefits are increased collagen production, improved circulation, decreased pain in joints and muscles, lower inflammation in the body, decreased oxidative stress and accelerated wound healing, +++
*Red light therapy is not the same type of light used in tanning booths, and does not expose you to damaging UV rays. You should wear eye protection when near-infrared mode is active.
