8 Simple Self-Care Habits

2/13/2021

Happy Valentine's Day! 💖 Do not forget the most important person in your life – YOU!

Picture

We focus a lot on our external relationships and often neglect our relationship with ourselves.  It is not easy to find the time to give yourself the love you need to recharge.  We are not the best at practicing self-love and are often too hard on ourselves.  Self-care is investing in your emotional and physical well-being through simple acts.  Self-care is not selfish; it is an important part of living a happier and more productive life. 

Feel too busy to schedule a little me-time? Self-care can be as simple as taking 10-minutes a day of prioritizing your needs above anyone else’s. Have a daily self-care practice will reap long-term perks.  It will give you something to look forward to on a day-to-day basis, and it will help you re-frame your mindset.

I challenge you to take a step towards self-acceptance and self-love. Here are a few self-love habits for you to try.

We don't have full control over how our food is handled before it reaches our kitchens but we can take some precautions to minimize and prevent harmful bacteria, like Salmonella, E. Coli, Listeria, and Campylobacter, from taking over the healthy meals we prepare at home.

There are some simple steps in how we handle, cook, and store our food to prevent food-borne illness.  You can't see, smell, or taste harmful bacteria that may cause illness. If you don’t handle the food you eat properly, your risk for getting food poisoning increases.  No one wants food poisoning. 

Today, I’m going to cover basic food safety tips to keep you and your loved ones happy and healthy.

Jicama – What is that?

Are you looking to add in a new veggie?  Most of us are creatures of habit when it comes to produce shopping.  Carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, zucchini are all familiar safe options.   For some just eating veggies is a struggle so why add in a new one.  A little change is good.  It helps to avoid food burn out from eating the same foods over and over. Also adding in variety will ramp up the nutrition of your diet.

I have a great one for you to try, jicama.  It’s pronounced HICK-ama.  Jicama is an odd globe-shaped tuber that has a bark-like skin.  It’s a little intimidating but worth giving it a try. 

Let’s breakdown this wonderful juicy, crunch tuber.
