Benefits of Healthy Eating

Hey bombshell!

Anyone looking to lose weight already knows that clean eating is the best way to go about it. Add in a little exercise and motivation and thats a recipe for weight loss success!

But there’s more to clean eating than the fit body! This post is a reminder of all the reasons to eat clean after the holiday season.

Immune System
Why is it when you start sneezing people say “drink your orange juice?” Vitamin C, of course! No body wants to be sick so make sure you fill up on vitamin C rich foods in 2017. That includes the obvious like oranges and other fruits but did you know that bell peppers are one of the best sources of vitamin C?

Focus and Energy
Though this applies to everyone, I especially want students to listen up! Students in college and university have a hard enough time keeping up with the school work, but due to rising tuition costs, many students have to work full-time while in school to pay for various costs. And don’t forget about maintaining a healthy lifestyle during all that! This requires focus and energy. Pair a banana with a protein (my fav is egg whites) in the morning and you’ll be good to go all day long!

Healthy Skin
I’m only going to say this once: sugar = bad skin!! Now I’m not going to lie, I have a weird obsession with cinnamon rolls. I LOVE them! They always seem to sneak into my kitchen and of course they don’t last long once they’re there. I try to avoid sugary foods but hey, I’m human. If there’s one rule I live by its everything in moderation…except coffee. Berries are known to be good for skin so mix them up in a smoothie with some almond milk and a bit of protein powder and you have yourself a recipe for clear skin!

Additional benefits of healthy eating include:

  • decreased stress levels
  • improved sleep quality
  • lower risk of disease
  • and MANY more

I understand that clean eating isn’t an overnight transition. Sugar addiction is a REAL THING! I suggest starting slowly on your path to clean eating or you risk binge eating and fall-backs. Make slow changes like increasing water intake then once you’re used to that start introducing more vegetables into recipes you already make! These are just examples, of course. Do what suits you!

Well thats all for now!

Self Love

Hey Bombshell!

Let’s talk about self-love. Being a bombshell is all about confidence, right? RIGHT!

One way to achieve confidence is through happiness. I see so many women out there taking care of everyone around them and forgetting about themselves. Sound familiar? You’re probably one of those women.

Self-love can’t really be described one way. It can be a bunch of things, individual to each person. To practice self-love you might tell yourself how good of a person you are in a mirror every morning or do something you find relaxing like a trip to the spa.

Before anyone asks “isn’t taking time for myself selfish?” I will say absolutely not! Self-love is an essential part to being a calm, loving, confident bombshell of a woman! No one wants to be around a person who is constantly worried about deadlines, rushing around to get everything done.

Pause, girl. You deserve a break.

Here are some me-time ideas to get you started:

  • relaxing epsom salt bath
  • yoga
  • spa (at a day spa or in your own house)
  • listen to your favorite music
  • do something creative
  • make a list of things you’re good at
  • go on a hike
  • have a coffee (I swear it makes everything better)

That’s all for now!

Have a Lovely Day
Love, Bombshell Box

so you want to be a bombshell…

i would love to say becoming a bombshell isn’t about the body, the clothes, the hair, the makeup, the skin, the clean eating and the HARD WORK it takes to look that great all the time. but it is.

bear with me here

yes, becoming a bombshell is about all those things. i’m a firm believer that beauty is an attribute every woman is born with. we are all bombshells….on the inside. some of us are still waiting to come out and get noticed. there’s nothing wrong with wanting to look good.

ever see a girl while you’re commuting to school or work and she’s got perfect hair, straight posture, slim figure, oozing confidence, AND can stand on the train without face-planting? that girl is a BOMBSHELL!! you can be that girl. you can have it all: brains, beauty and the balls to make it all happen for yourself

bombshells are not measured by the size of their waists or money in their pockets. it is a measurement of CONFIDENCE! so yes, being a bombshell is about getting the body you want, wearing the clothes you like, using makeup to express yourself but it is NOT FOR VANITY! i cannot stress that enough. getting fit, healthy and stylish is a confidence booster and confidence is at the heart of every bombshell babe!
