Simple Shrimp
Today’s post is a recipe for air fryer shrimp. It is perfect for when you are in a rush or just need something that is quick to make. I like to make it for lunch because it’s simple, healthy, and Shane hates shrimp. That way I can enjoy it without feeling guilty that he won’t have anything to eat.
Ingredients:
2 Shrimp Skewers (Seafood Department 5 shrimp per skewer)
1 Tbsp Spray Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Recipe:
- Preheat your airfryer to 390℉.
- Spray both sides of your shrimp skewers with your olive oil spray, just a thin layer.
- Lightly season each side with your cajun seasoning.
- Lay them criss-cross in your air fryer and cook for 6 minutes.
- Enjoy!
I hope you love this recipe as much as I do. I love to eat this by itself or over a plate of rice. Please let me know in the comments below, if you do. If you are interested in more healthy recipes please subscribe below.

Listen to Your Body And Mind
Hi Everyone!
Today, I am talking about listening to your body and mind for self-care. I think that we all struggle with this from time to time. I know that I do.
So what do I mean, listen to your body and mind?
A perfect example would be from this morning for me. My leg started hurting yesterday morning while I was running, so I slowed and walked for the rest of my 2 mile goal. When I got home, my leg was still aching. So I iced it. This morning when I got up to go for another run and my leg was still aching. I didn’t go and that’s okay!
I have a goal this month to run 50 miles. I am at 42 and I’m not going to give up. My way of getting there might just look a little different than I had imagined. I thought I would be able to run the full 50. I might end up having to walk 9 of those miles. Though it wasn’t what I originally had planned on, I will still get there.
I have learned over the years to be flexible with my goals. If something isn’t feeling right, maybe I’m too stressed or my body hurts, it’s okay to adjust my goal to match. Now this doesn’t mean be easy on yourself but it does mean don’t be too hard on yourself. If your body is physically hurting, you need to listen to it. If I had kept running, even when my leg was hurting, that could lead to a serious injury. I may have to go easy for a few days until it feels better, but what if I seriously injured it and had to be out for months! It’s so worth it to listen to your body and let it heal itself.
I love the quote, “Your mind and body will tell you exactly what it needs. All you have to do is listen.”. If you are exhausted in the morning, maybe sleep in if you can. If you have a headache, stop doing whatever is triggering it. If you have an achy muscle, ice and rest it. If your mind is racing and stressed, take a break or go easier on yourself.
I also love the quote, “Listening to your body and honoring it’s signals is one of the true forms of self-love”.
I think that this topic is very important and I hope you loved learning about it. I challenge you to listen to your body and mind, please take care of yourself before you are forced to.

Multi-Use Kopari Organic Coconut Melt
Today, I am going to talk about my favorite brand again, Kopari! I really love their products and I want to share them with everyone! Today, I am specifically talking about their organic coconut melt. I’ve been in love with it ever since I tried it for the first time and it is extremely versatile.
Some of the different uses:
- Skin Moisturizer
- Dry Shave Oil
- Makeup Remover
- Under Eye
- Belly Balm (Helps To Prevent Stretch Marks While Pregnant)
- Hair Mask
- Massage Oil
- The Possibilities Are Endless
My favorite uses are: skin moisturizer and makeup remover. I love to use this right after I get out of the shower and I feel as though it keeps my skin moisturized all day. It’s much better than lotion in my opinion. I also get bad migraines from the smell of lotions about 99% of the time. This product has never given me a migraine! I also love to use it for makeup remover because if you get it in your eye, it doesn’t burn like every other makeup remover. It is so soft and my makeup comes right off. I usually shave in the shower as well but next time I am in a hurry and need to shave, I am definitely going to try this out. I honestly can’t wait to use it on my belly when I decide I am ready to have kids.
Okay, we are to my favorite part about Kopari’s products. What is in it?? This product is 100% Organic Coconut Oil. That’s it. I love their products because they are all natural. They always live up to their Kopari standards: 100% Organic, Vegan, Cruelty-free, and GMO-free.
Where can you get it?
I hope you loved today’s post. Let me know what you think in the comments below!!

LLS Resilience Challenge
Hi Everybody! Today I am sharing a fun challenge that you could join me in doing. It is the LLS Team in Training Resilience Challenge!
What is the challenge? It is a 30-day movement & fundraising challenge dedicated to supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.During the month of September, Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we challenge each participant to complete 50 miles in whichever way they prefer (running, walking, cycling, etc.) and aim to raise $500 towards our mission. Registration is free, and there is no fundraising commitment but we know the most resilient participants will crush the fundraising challenge. You can even earn prizes depending on how much money you raise. I have personally committed to running the full 50 miles and I’m already 5 miles in as of this morning.
So why am I doing this challenge? I actually have multiple reasons. First, I have been trying to get more cardio in each week and this can help to motivate me even on the hard days. Second, I volunteer for LLS and have been for over six years. They have been struggling to get donations during this time due to COVID. I want to help to remind people (if they are not struggling as well). Third, I have two family members and multiple friends that have had blood cancers. LLS has a mission to find a cure! I would love to raise $500 for them!
