    wellness wednesday looks a little different these wellness wednesday looks a little different these days ✨
 
as someone who has been obsessed with tracking my steps and nutrition for years now… i have turned a corner onto a new street of wellness. while I acknowledge how important physical activity and nutrition is, there are other important factors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle 🏃🏻‍♀️
 
two factors are hydration and stress levels. with the help of my @healbe GoBe3 smart band I have been able to make that the forefront of my health journey and i couldn’t be happier.

so for me, that’s having a relaxing tea and doing my daily yoga ☺️
 
when you let go of the calories and step count, you actually begin to LIVE. and that is so important. while @healbe GoBe3 has the ability to track your steps and nutrition, there is so much more to this smart band. 

my hope is for this to be your sign to make your stress levels and hydration a priority in your journey!
 
@healbe is amazing because it lets  you know when need to drink some h20 and when it’s time to take a moment to relax 😌 
 
you can use my code FEASTY10 to get your own and start your own wellness journey :)

    happy fry-day!!! 🍟 i am celebrating with these happy fry-day!!! 🍟 i am celebrating with these seasoned baked potato wedges 🥔

these oven-roasted potato wedges are just what i needed to satisfy my potato cravings (yes i have those) but also to stay on my health track to reach my goals!

using simple ingredients, this recipe is easy to make and good for you! whether you want to make this recipe as a healthy snack or as a side dish to a meal, that is totally up to you. i will link the recipe below and in my bio! ⬇️
