“We usually put on music and dance around the kitchen, cooking and catching up on the day. It’s a lot of fun!”

Sun Basket

This post is an honest review of Sun Basket. Now I say honest because – although I am an affiliate – I want you to know the pros and cons of the Sun Basket food delivery service so you can know whether it’s right for you.

Because for some of you, it won’t be a good fit at all.

But for the rest of you, it’s going to be a game-changer.

Why such a difference?

“It made me feel like I was still there, able to share in the festivities.”

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. And I’m pretty darn pumped because it’s fast approaching!

Holiday Traditions

I’m one of those people who get way too into the holiday spirit. As I write this, I’m sitting in a living room with command-hooked stockings on the wall, more than one vase of poinsettias, and both garlands and a bedecked Christmas tree. I have hot chocolate and marshmallows in the pantry and whipped cream chillin’ in the fridge. I’m telling you – I go all out.

But in reality, Christmas is really important to me because of my childhood. My family had so many traditions. We always went to church, saw lots of family, and spent tons of time together catching up and laughing. It was truly special.

Not everyone has a big family to gather with or certain traditions they follow, but I love that the holidays (whatever holidays it is you celebrate) are a time to slow down and enjoy the company of those you care about most. Which is why I really struggled with working Christmas Eve and Christmas day my first year out of college.

“Seriously, regardless of age or fitness status, these are the basics EVERYONE could benefit from.”

Boy do I wish I had this list when I first dove into exercise. Growing up a runner, I never needed any equipment. All I needed was the road. But in college, I started getting interested in alternative forms of cardio and weight training. While we had a gym on campus, summer break at home left me with no equipment. I went shopping for home exercise basics – and was absolutely clueless.

I remember standing in Dick’s Sporting Goods staring at some weights and wondering, “Should I get dumbbells or a kettlebell? 5 lbs or 10 lbs?”
