Have you ever wanted to do something for yourself, but thought you didn’t have the time?
Do you constantly put taking care of yourself LAST on your to-do list (and never actually get around to the bottom of the list)?
What if you didn’t? What if you commited to ONLY 30 days?
Here are 7 things I learned from commiting to 30 days of yoga… for me.
Read MoreHave you ever done something you didn’t want to do because you felt like you should want to do that thing?
Have you ever not done something you wanted because you’ve reasoned that “it’s not important,” or “it’s silly” or some other trivial reason?
As we go about our 2021 Happiness Project, I encourage you to take some time to come up with your OWN Personal Happiness Commandments.
Read More2021 is a new year.
A year of anticipation, a year of change, a year of alignment, and a year of flexibility.
Do you have a word of the year? Maybe having a word of the year is a bit too “woo” for you, but I like it. It’s like a focus, a beacon- a lighthouse, if you will. And I’ll be honest, after last year- I could use a lighthouse.
Read MoreIs it me, or is all the information we get about health and fitness conflicting?
And how do all these things “work” if they are completely opposite?
I know you don’t have time to wade through all the conflicting information out there, so I’m going to give you 8 tips to help you wade through the confusion of the wellness industry.
Read MoreThere are so many decisions to make when it comes to brining home a new baby. And yes, diapers is one of them.
We decided to go the cloth route, and I’m so glad that we did. However, there are a few things I wish I knew before we started….
Read MoreVirtual learning? Hard.
Working from home in a less-than-ideal space? Hard.
Staying on track with our nutrition while in the house all day? Hard.

Read MoreI get it, there never seems to be enough time. You want to eat right, but you don’t have time to cook healthy meals every day of the week. All the recipes you find take too long, have too many ingredients, or too much clean-up.

Read MoreExperienced traveler. Your GO-TO place for motivation, accountability, balanced life tips, and, well... the FRICKin Good Life with Erin Frick: Fit Life Coach; recovering perfectionist, people pleaser and clearance rack shopper.
Last month, I made a life changing decision.
I bought a second laundry basket.
“Really Erin? Life changing?”
Yes.
“Tell me more…”
Does the idea of “starting over” make you want to quit before you even begin? I get it. I’ve been there. I am there.
I’ve definitely had my shares of physical (and fitness) ups and downs. In fact, for the first almost 30 years of my life I was on a health roller-coaster. I would make progress over and over again only to backslide every time, often to a worse situation than I was in before I “started” (again).
My Mom is obsessed with ALDI.
My sister’s finance is obsessed with ALDI.

Which is why it’s not just nice but critical to have quick, easy, healthy, filling, and satisfying meals and snacks on hand. And these banana almond butter muffins deliver in all of those areas.
Halloween candy. Ugh.
Truth is, I don’t even like it. Maybe it’s because I have re-trained my taste buds to enjoy better quality food or maybe it’s because I know what’s in the candy and how it impacts my body (headaches & breakouts anyone?).
But there it sat, staring at me.
I knew it wasn't worth it. Sure, I love peanut butter and chocolate together. So Reese’s are a temptation. But truth is, the dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s and Justin‘s peanut butter cups are better than Reese’s.
I said what I said.
