Expand Your Horizons

   One of the best and most fulfilling things that a person can do in their life is travel. We live in a world that is so vast and beautiful, with so much out there to see. It's easy to get caught up in every day living and responsibilities such as working full time, raising kids, paying bills, being a student and or just chasing whatever dreams and goals we have. There can be so many priorities in the life of a busy person. One thing to never forget is the importance of expanding your horizons through travel so you can see and learn new things. As humans we're intrigued by adventure, and our curiosity leads us to wonder about and discover new things. It's great to take care of the home front and handle your business but challenge yourself to travel more and see more. I know that when we think of traveling we think of how expensive it can be  (especially for a family) between flight tickets, baggage fees, hotel accommodations and the time that we're taking off of work. There is a lot to think about that may somewhat discourage you, but there are also some experiences that you can't put a monetary value on. Some people travel often for work or work for an airline or airport in some capacity. I started off by working as a reservation agent for an airline and was able to take free flights and that benefit was extended to my immediate family members too. I used to do crazy things like hop on a plane to go have lunch in Seattle or fly to New York to go shopping! One time me and my Co worker flew to Chicago to spend the day there! My traveling experience started that way but I just couldn't get enough time off to go to all of the places that I wanted to.  I still cherish the memories from the places that I used to go, and the experiences were great. I challenge you to enrich your life through traveling. It's okay if you can only afford to go one place a year. Search for deals online, save up for it, Plan carefully and began your journey! Start within the U.S. if you have to (if thats more affordable) then work your way outside of the country. Go experience other cultures, Food ,nature, historical architecture, weather! Get out of your box and Create a travel bucket list! Doesn't matter how quickly you check places off of your list just do the best you can, however you can. It will be totally worth it! You only have one life and this is just one of the ways to help you make the most of it!

Healthy Tips: 10 Health Benefits from Eating Tomatoes

1. Tomatoes are good for your skin Tomatoes contain a high level of lycopene, which is a substance that is used in some of the more pricey facial cleansers that are available for purchase over-the-counter. If you want to try tomatoes for skin care, you need to start with about eight to twelve tomatoes. Peel the tomatoes and then place the skin on your face with inside of the tomato touching your skin. Leave the tomatoes on your face for a minimum of ten minutes, then wash. Your face will feel clean and shiny. Some redness may occur, but should fade with time. 2. Tomatoes are good for your heart Because of the Vitamin B and potassium in tomatoes, they are effective in reducing cholesterol levels and lowering blood pressure.

Fall in love with Fruit Infused Water

Image
Some of us may have early childhood memories of our parents making us eat foods that we weren’t particularly fond of as children, but were nutrient dense (veggies, for example!) and essential for optimal development. As adults, some of us even struggle to do something as simple as drinking water. We love that it’s refreshing but may not be fond of the bland taste.  Whether it’s the lack of flavor, or just not reaching for the water bottle often enough, many individuals struggle to reach their recommended daily water intake. Water is essential to all life and has countless benefits down to a cellular level. However, sometimes   the facts are still not enough to make some interested in drinking enough water. Fruit infused water is a great alternative for those that want to increase daily water intake, and add a natural kick of flavor to water, while enjoying the additional benefits and antioxidants.  Here are some delicious and thirst-quenching fruit infused water combinations
