Avocado Toast
Hey Everyone!
Today’s post is a recipe for something I have become absolutely obsessed with, avocado toast. 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 breakfast or lunch because it’s simple and healthy. Plus it tastes so good!!
Ingredients:
2 Slices of Sourdough Bread
1 Tbsp Spray Butter
1 Avocado
1 tsp Everything But the Bagel Seasoning
1 tsp Garlic Salt
Recipe:
- Toast your slices of bread. (Either in the toaster or airfryer on reheat).
- While your bread is toasting cut your avocado into thin slices.
- When your bread is done toasting lightly spray each slice with spray butter. (An alternative is to spread garlic or chipotle aioli on the toast instead of using spray butter, it does however make it less healthy.)
- Season your buttered bread with the garlic salt.
- Spread one half of the avocado on each slice of bread.
- Season the top with everything but the bagel seasoning.
- Enjoy.
I have been eating this at least twice a week for the last month. I am obsessed. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do. Please let me know in the comments below, if you do. If you are interested in more healthy recipes please subscribe below.

Preventing Sciatic Pain
Hi Everyone!
Today, I am sharing with you my best stretches to prevent sciatic pain. Havard Medical School states, “As many as 40% of people will get it during their life, and it becomes more frequent as you age.” Sciatic pain is something I have dealt with almost every year since I was 16. My sciatic pain tends to shoot down one of my legs. Mine usually flares up in the winter months, which I believe is due to the amount of time spent in the car driving to ski resorts. Sitting for long periods of time can cause flare ups.
Over the years, I have found what works best for me in preventing it from flaring up. I do these stretches with my stretching routine after each workout.
Pigeon Pose
I make sure that my front leg is at about 90 degrees and that I am centered over my front leg for the best stretch. I really want to feel this on the side of my hip. Hold for 30 seconds and switch legs.
Seated Spinal Twist
This one really stretches your piriformis muscle, which is usually the muscle that is pinching your sciatic nerve. Make sure that you are twisted toward the hip of your leg that is up. Hold for 30 seconds and switch legs.
Seated Figure 4
This stretch is to open your hips and can even help with low back pain. You can bring your leg as close to you as is comfortable. Sometimes I do this one in the car when we’ve been driving for a long time. Hold for 30 seconds and switch legs.
I really think these stretches help me to prevent sciatic pain. If your muscles get too tight in this area, there is always a chance that you can have a sciatica flare up. Let me know in the comments below if you have ever experienced sciatica and what you did to make it go away. I would love to hear about it.

Cable Triceps & Biceps
Hey Everyone!
Today, I’m sharing one of my arm workouts with you!! I do these workouts about once a week. You want to strengthen both your biceps and triceps to keep them even. You don’t want one to be a lot stronger than the other or it can cause mobility issues. You don’t have to work them on the same day, just make sure that you are focusing on both and not just one. I like to use the 20 to 25 pound weight on the cable machine for this workout.
I do three sets of the following:
Close Grip Cable Tricep Pushdowns 10 Reps
Cable Tricep Pushdown 21’s 21 Reps (7 focused on the top, 7 focused on the bottom, and 7 full movement)
Cable Bicep Curl 21’s 21 Reps (7 focused on the top, 7 focused on the bottom, and 7 full movement)
Here is a video of me doing these exercises so that you can see what they are if you are unfamiliar with them! When you do these exercises keep your movements slow and controlled. You will see results faster if you do this.
I hope you loved today’s workout! Let me know what you think in the comments below. If you want to see more workouts like this please subscribe below for weekly emails. Thank you so much for checking out today’s post.

Ultimate Gym Bag
Hey Everyone!
Today I am sharing my favorite gym bag with you!! I have been using this bag for over a year and a half and I still continue to love it. It’s been very durable and holds everything that I want to take with me to the gym! My last gym bag fell apart so I wanted to make sure that it would hold up well before I shared it with you. It also is pretty affordable so it won’t break the bank.
So what gym bag am I talking about? The FocusGear Ultimate Gym Bag 2.0.
Why do I love this bag?
First, it’s got a ton of pockets so that you can keep your things organized! Second, it’s super durable. The straps are reinforced so they won’t come undone over time. Third, it has a special pocket for your shoes that’s water resistant. This is perfect for if you have to change out your shoes at the gym. If they are muddy or wet, it won’t get on your other things. Forth, it has another water resistant pocket on the bottom where you can store your swimwear if you like to swim at the gym, without getting your other things wet. I personally like to store my laptop in this pocket if I need to take it with me. Fifth, it has a “big mouth” opening on the top which makes it super easy to find all your things in the main pocket. Sixth, it has a weather resistant bottom to keep your things safe. Lastly seventh, it won’t break the bank!! It’s less than $30 with shipping!
Where can you get this bag??
