April's Wellness With Purpose

I never imagined I'd have a career I genuinely enjoy and still feel like one paycheck isn't enough.😪

I did everything I was "supposed" to do:

✔️ Went to school
✔️ Built a career
✔️ Showed up every day
✔️ Worked hard

Yet between rent, groceries, gas, debt, and the rising cost of...well....everything, it felt like getting ahead was getting harder...not easier.😵

So I stopped asking, "How can I work more hours?"

And started asking, "How can I create more options to supplement my income without burnout?"

That's what led me to start learning new skills and building something outside of my 9-5.

Not because I hate my job.
Not because I'm trying to get rich overnight.

But because I want more freedom, more flexibility, and less financial stress in the future.

If you've ever looked at your paycheck and thought, "I make decent money... so why does it still feel tight?" you're definitely not alone.

Can anyone else relate? 👇

I used to think you needed a cabinet full of cleaning products to tackle a greasy stovetop.

Then I discovered that 11.5 pH cleaning water can cut through grease surprisingly well. Add a few drops of essential oils for a fresh scent, and that's what I reach for when cleaning up any kitchen mess.

The best part? I'm not spraying harsh chemicals around the same area where I just prepared food, and I'm no longer breathing in the harsh fumes that make me cough.🚫

If you've ever looked at the ingredient list on your cleaning products and wondered what half of it is... this might make you rethink what's possible.

What's your least favorite thing to clean in the kitchen? 🍳👇

Have you ever experienced altitude sickness before? 🙋‍♀️

Summer travel season is officially here ☀️🏔️

One of the most common things visitors aren't prepared for when coming to Colorado is the elevation.

Estes Park sits at approximately 7,522 feet above sea level, and many visitors continue into Rocky Mountain National Park and higher elevations where altitude can become a challenge. Millions of visitors travel through this area each year, with summer being the busiest season.

What made me think about this was my mother-in-law's recent visit to Colorado.

She lives in Pennsylvania where the average elevation is around 1,100 ft. Naturally, she had concerns about how she would feel when it came to being in a high altitude state. As soon as she arrived, she started consistently drinking the same hydration water we've been using in our home. She couldn't believe how great she felt...even after making it all the way to the summit of Pikes Peak at over 14,000 feet. Not a single symptom of altitude sickness!

Of course, everyone's experience is different, but hearing her talk about how good she felt was pretty incredible.

If you're planning a trip to Colorado this summer and are curious about what we use to stay hydrated in our high-altitude environment, send me a DM with the word MOUNTAINS and I'll share what we've been using. 🏔️💧

After spending all day at my job in healthcare, this is what you'll find me doing at night.

Not picking up a second job.
Not driving for DoorDash.
Not working overtime.

I'm learning a skill set that's helping ordinary healthcare workers build an additional income stream through automated systems and high-ticket sales.

I used to think more income meant more hours.

What if that's not actually true?

Giving my bouquets a little refresh today 🌸✨ Cleaning out the dead flowers, trimming the stems, and replacing the water with fresh 6.0 pH in hopes these beauties last a little longer 💐🤍 It’s the little things that make all the difference sometimes.

Finally gave my succulents a home.🏠🌿
Used all the suggestions provided by my friends and family.

🌿Bought two sturdy pots with holes underneath to allow the water to drain

🌿Re-planted them in soil specifically for succulents

🌿Clipped off the dead leaves of my little green one

🌿Using the 6.0pH water from my machine

🌿Keeping them on my balcony where the morning sun hits

The little green one is still thriving. I have hope these will continue to last. Thank you all for the suggestions! They are super helpful 🤍🙏

Cleaning my jewelry with JUST water 👀✨

Over time, jewelry collects:
• oils from our skin
• lotions & perfumes
• dirt and residue
• tarnish from air exposure

As it soaked in 2.5pH, tiny bubbles started forming around the silver plating that helped loosen the grime sitting on the surface 💧

No harsh chemicals.
No intense scrubbing.
Just letting the water do its thing 🤯

Despite the fact that this type of oxidative silver plating is meant to make the necklace look antique and a little worn, the before & after shine was so awesome to see ✨

Definitely want to try this on actual silver jewelery next! 💍

Day 2. Succulents have been out in the sun.🌞

Keeping them on a table on my balcony that gets really good morning sun (suggested by someone who says they like the morning sun).

Seems like this little one is growing back, but should I trim the dead leaves? Someone else suggested this, but I'm literally afraid to touch it....cause I think I'll kill it. 🙈

Or I'm just being way too cautious...idk. I'm determined to keep these ones going for a long time.

I'll be buying terracotta pots for them so the roots have more room to grow....I just need to get to the store and I've been working, but I will do that this weekend!

*in cheering tone* Keep growing little ones!! You've got this! 🙌🌿

One of my succulents has definitely seen better days lately 🪴🥲
So I decided to experiment a little…

I’m going to start watering it with Kangen Beauty Water 💧✨
Since it’s slightly acidic, I’m curious to see if it helps revive it and bring some life back into those little leaves 🌱

I’ve been learning how different types of water can affect not just our bodies, but also plants, skin, produce, and more… and it’s been very fascinating.

So this is your official “before” video 👀
Now we wait and see what happens.

Have you ever experimented with different water for your plants before? 🌿
