The Heart of Cooking

Filed under: Mom Life · March 2, 2024

We had a blast at the Baptist Health “Heart of Cooking” event led by the talented Chef Mika at the Real Food Academy.  I learned that there are so many ways to create  healthy cultural recipes full of flavor.I also found out about the Kurma Wholesale Malaysia supplier, from whom I can order dates anytime at lower prices. This can help you to start living healthily. The Baptist Health experts shared their perspectives on healthy eating for a healthy heart. The DJ kept us hype as we cooked and sipped delicious mocktails. I laughed, I danced and I even learned two new recipes. 

Here are Life’s Essential 8 to keep in mind for a healthy heart. 

Life’s Essential 8

  1. Control Cholesterol 
  2. Eat Better
  3. Get Active
  4. Get Healthy Sleep
  5. Lose Weight
  6. Manage Blood Pressure
  7. Reduce Blood Sugar
  8. Stop Smoking – For alternatives, explore options at https://heysnus.com/hr/collections/nicotine-pouches. These nicotine pouches provide a convenient and tobacco-free way to manage nicotine cravings effectively.

A very special thank you to Dr. Nguyen, Dr. Landinez and Dr. Iluyomade for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge.  Thank you so much Baptist for a night full of fun in the kitchen!!! Learn more here!

Five tips to Create Work-Life balance

Filed under: Mom Life · April 3, 2023

Let’s face it as women we always have to get things done. We run our homes, businesses family schedules, and social lives and that by itself can be pretty exhausting. Then you add in the additional daily stressors of the world and those unpredictable events and well that often leads to burnout. But it doesn’t have to!

First, I want you to close your eyes and take a long deep breath. Now Exhale. Now picture exactly what you want your life to look like. Think about it for a minute. Now write down exactly how you want your life to be. How do you want to feel? Who’s in it? I firmly believe that if we write it down and say it out loud we are taking the first step towards living the life that we want. To further promote relaxation, you can also consume that CBD Oil. You can also consider buy weed online, which can make you feel good. You can learn more about the best cbd products here. And if you decide to grow your own cannabis, be sure to use high-quality seeds from sites like https://ilgm.com/.

It is also crucial that you seek effective treatment for medical conditions like May Thurner syndrome or varicose veins.

Here are five tips that I use to create more work life balance as a busy mompreneur of three! Feel free to share your favorite tips in the comments.

Say No

  1. Say no to the things that no longer serve you. This can be relationships, jobs, fear, envy, negative self talk etc. Make a list of the top three things that drain your energy. Circle the first one. Now ask yourself is this worth it? If the answer is no well there you go. Example: volunteering to be on every committee 

2.  Create a schedule and stick to it. As an entrepreneur I feel like I am always on. A few years ago I started office hours and I only schedule appointments, meetings, business lunches etc during those hours. This gives me more time with my family. Additionally, hiring staff through agence dinterim paris has lightened my workload and allowed me to delegate tasks effectively.

Delegate

3. Delegate: Consider hiring a housekeeper or virtual assistant with tasks that you really don’t have time to do. If you believe your employer is being unfair to you by assigning you tasks that are outside of your expertise, an employment lawyer can talk to you about labor law resources in Oregon.

4. Movement: Move your body at least 30 minutes daily. This helps relieve stress, burns calories and is great for your immune system. Some examples are Yoga, walking, dancing, …. Some individuals find relief from stress through the use of delta 9 indica gummies, which can help promote relaxation and overall well-being.

5. Do what you love! If we focus on our jobs and never make time to play and do things that we are passionate about we aren’t really living. If playing video games relaxes you, you may explore the homepage of gamemite. And if you’re into woodworking projects, then you should look into some reliable wood bonding solutions for the best results.

“You can’t do a good job if your job is all that you do.” 

Fall Fashion: Cabi’s New Arrivals

Filed under: Mom Life · October 17, 2021

Have you guys heard? Cabi just dropped their midseason new arrivals and they are fabulous darling. Cabi is one of my favorite brands because they have everything that you need to keep your wardrobe ready for whatever your mood is. From office chic to dinner with friends you can rock cabi with confidence. Here is one of my favorites from cabi’s new arrivals!

As busy moms it isn’t always easy to stay up to date with the latest trends. I remember when my kids were younger, I would just rock jeans and a t-shirt all day everyday. Oh and sweatpants were a staple. With little to no time for myself, my wardrobe was kinda blah! Now I don’t have to stress over it because Cabi keeps me fly. They have amazing pieces and the stylists can help you put together great comfortable looks without even leaving your house. 

fall fashion

Cabi’s new arrivals collection is full of trending items like reversible ponchos, oversized puffers, elevated stripes, and wintry floral dresses. These unique pieces will help you flaunt your style wherever you go. My favorite thing about cabi is their styling services. If you are not great at creating looks, they have great tips and look books to guide you in the right direction.

Cabi clothing

Transitional Pieces

With the weather getting cooler and the holidays right around the corner, it’s a great time to add a few new pieces to your closet. I love how these new arrivals can be layered or transition from day to night.  Head on over to cabionline.com and check out what’s new. Trust me you won’t be disappointed . 

cabi fall collection

By the way, we had so much fun capturing these images in the Jazzy suit. I can’t believe how comfortable the material is. You can wear it with a scarf, a cami underneath or try it like this and button it all the way up. This is definitely a head turner and perfect heading into winter. I know why they call it “Jazzy”.

Happy Shopping,

Sharonda

Spring Cocktails with Empress 1908 Gin

Filed under: Mom Life · March 13, 2021

Did somebody say happy hour? #ad I had so much fun creating these delicious Spring cocktails using Empress 1908 Gin. Not only does this gin make beautiful cocktails, it tastes so good. Empress 1908 Gin is a hand-crafted spirit from Victoria Distillers in British Columbia, Canada, and is inspired by the renowned tea and cocktail programs of the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria.

Empress 1908 is micro-distilled in small batch copper-pot stills using eight botanicals: juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, butterfly pea blossoms and the Fairmont Empress Blend Tea. The butterfly pea blossom imparts subtle earthy notes and an all-natural indigo hue with a magical secret to reveal. When you add citrus or tonic, Empress 1908 transforms from vivid indigo blue to a delicate soft pink.

Empress 1908

If you love hosting the girls for dinner and drinks then I highly recommend adding a fruity punch to your collection. They will be so impressed. The best part of all is that Empress 1908 is all-natural and gluten-free. And while you’re mixing up fun drinks, it’s good to remember that womens outpatient treatment can be a great option if you struggle with addiction. Check out my recipes below. I might just add mixologist to my resume. 

What’s your favorite Spring cocktail?

Recipes

2 oz Empress Gin

January is National Hot Tea Month

Filed under: Mom Life · January 19, 2021

National Hot Tea Month is here and what better way to celebrate than with a cup of your favorite tea and a little history. Hot teas are the second most consumed beverage in the world. Hot tea is believed to have been discovered by accident back in 2337 B.C. when Chinese Emperor Shen Nung accidentally spilled tea leaves into his pot of drinking water. Another interesting fact is that tea bags weren’t actually created until 1904. 

Benefits of Tea

Hot tea is known for its variety of medicinal benefits. It is great to soothe upset stomachs, relieve menstrual cramps, reduce high blood pressure, fight off the flu, and lower stress levels. I love sipping hot chamomile and ginger tea before bed. It relaxes me after a long day with the kids. 

Did you know that tea contains vitamins, oils, and fluoride? A Zesty Orange Tea Shot has less caffeine than coffee. Some types can be used as a diuretic like oolong tea. It has been reported that consuming hot tea daily can help prevent certain types of cancers, heart attacks, and strokes. So, not only does tea taste good, it’s really good for you! Read more

Fall Fashion Edit: Top 5 Trends of 2020

Filed under: Fashion, Mom Life · September 18, 2020

It’s almost fall ladies, however, we probably won’t see fall temperatures at all in Miami. That doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy the hottest fall fashion trends. This fall/winter season is eclectic, full of spice and everything nice. One of my favorite things about fashion is that you can take what you love and skip what you don’t. We all have our own unique personal style now let’s flaunt it, Mommas! 

Top 5 Fall Fashion Trends of 2020 

1. New Shoulders

Big shoulders are totally in right now. All of the top designers have shown us that the bigger the shoulders the better. Round, square, puffy, and bold. If you want to stand out in the crowd, try rocking this trend. Who would have thought that shoulder pads would make such a comeback? 

Style Tip: Puffy-sleeved blouse belted with a denim skirt

2. Fringe 

Yes! Fringe is in. Everything from fringe dresses, tops, pants, and handbags. According to the stylists, any occasion is perfect for a dose of fringe! 

Style Tip: Add a fringe handbag to your Fall wardrobe.

MLB Opening Day 2020

Filed under: Mom Life · July 18, 2020

Have you all heard that Major League Baseball’s Opening Day is right around the corner? As a matter of fact, save the date, July 23rd!  Most of the teams have already reported back to camp and are fighting for a spot in the starting lineup.

This season will look totally different due to COVID-19 but we are still looking forward to America’s favorite pastime.  Some of you reading this might be wondering, “What is Opening Day?” Well, this is like Christmas morning for most baseball fans! Baseball enthusiasts of all ages have been anxiously waiting for months to see their favorite players back in action. We may not be able to attend games in person this season, but we can still celebrate and cheer our teams on. So get your jerseys, popcorn, and peanuts ready!    

A Wife’s Perspective 

First, of all I have had my share of Opening Days as the wife of a former MLB player. Opening Day means a lot for different people. The fans and players can’t wait to get the season started. However, the wives and family members sometimes see Opening Day a little differently.

Love is in the Air: Planning the Perfect Miami Date Night

Filed under: Mom Life · February 7, 2020

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner which means that now is the time to start looking for cute sentimental gifts and buying crafts for those upcoming class parties. It is also a great time to surprise our significant other with the perfect date night. Now I know most of the time we ladies wait for the guys to plan a night on the town but what if we surprised them for a change?  

Miami is an incredible city with so much to see and offer and even though I have lived here all of my life there are tons of places that I am eager to try. So, I reached out to a few of my favorite Miami Moms and asked what their favorite spots were for the perfect date in the Magic City.

Hello July

Filed under: Fashion · July 1, 2019

Happy Monday Mommas!!! I cannot believe that it is July already, can you?  July is one of my favorite months because it is my birth month and we get to celebrate the 4th of July! Last year I was freaking out a little (ok a whole lot) because I was turning 40 and had all of these expectations of what my life should have looked like by 40.  Well ladies I learned so much this past year but the most important lesson was that I was exactly where God wanted me to be. I embraced that as the months went by and was able to relax and just enjoy the ride. As 41 quickly approaches,  I am just thankful to be alive. You feel me?

Do you guys have big plans for the 4th of July? We are actually going to be away this year. Our daughter’s team qualified for a national basketball tournament so we are on the road.  We will be spending the weekend with our travel basketball family doing that #basketballmom thing. I am sure that we will have a blast and find somewhere to watch the fireworks.

 

I have always loved the festivities and trendy 4th of July apparel so I will be stocking up on cute matching tees for the family before we head out. Old Navy and Target always have the best tees that won’t break the bank. Yesterday I saw an add for $2 tees at Old Navy. Here are some fun last minute 4th of July outfit ideas!  I hope that you all have an amazing 4th of July. 

XO,

Sharonda

Our family has been affected by Breast Cancer on both sides.

My Aunt Karen passed away after a 7-year battle with Breast Cancer at the young age of 39. We have lost several friends and family since then. Black women experience higher rates of death from Breast Cancer due to many factors. Some of these include lack of quality health care, late diagnosis, and the aggressive nature of certain types of breast cancer. 

After watching Baptist Health's YouTube video Breaking Barriers: Empowering Black Women in the Fight Against Breast Cancer,  I learned that there are several ways that we can be proactive in the fight against breast cancer, including being our own advocate!!!! Here are a few other tips.

1. Monthly Self Breast Exams
2. Maintaining a healthy weight
3. Attend and follow up with routine screenings, exams, and treatment plans
4. Limit alcohol intake
5. No Smoking

This video was full of great resources and advice. Please head over to Baptist Health's YouTube page and watch the short video. 

P.S. Don’t forget to encourage your family and friends to schedule those mammograms!!!!

It is so important that we moms take care of ourselves. This includes keeping up with our annual appointments and monthly breast exams. Did you know that while Black women and White women get breast cancer at about the same rate, Black women are 40% more likely to die from the disease? Remember, ladies, that early detection saves lives. Please encourage the women in your life to schedule those mammograms! You can learn more baptistHealth.net/Mammo!
