I'm always skeptical when I get a new kitchen gadg

I'm always skeptical when I get a new kitchen gadget. I want to like it, but do I really need it? In walks in the @nutrmachine and I had similar feelings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out my stories today to see how I use the machine!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you know me, you know I'm a fan of dairy. However, I usually like to switch it up when it comes to the milk alternatives I buy. Why? Because I like variety. I use milk/milk alternatives in things like smoothies, lattes, overnight oats, etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That being said many of the plant based milks on the shelves are expensive, filled with fillers & oftentimes sweetened. Now, don't get me wrong, the fillers are not the end of the world, but I just wonder why they are truly needed. And yes, you can 100% make dairy alternative milks with a blender or even just by soaking things like oats, almonds, etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, the @nutrmachine may have just changed the game for me. Why?
👉🏻It's super easy to use (and clean)
👉🏻You only need 2 Tbsp of ingredient for whatever milk you want (oat, hemp, almond, cashew, etc.)
👉🏻It takes minutes (it's not an overnight process)
👉🏻They plant a tree for every machine sold
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can now snag yours for a discount using my code: THESASSYDIETITIAN10_OFF
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pictured is oat milk! Here's how I made it:
👉🏻2 Tbsp rolled oats
👉🏻Pinch of salt
👉🏻Pinch of cinnamon
👉🏻1/4 tsp vanilla extract
👉🏻Water to Max fill line
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I added it all to the @nutrmachine and minutes later I had oat milk for my coffee!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I would love to hear, what milk would you make first?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
xoxo,
Sassy

After all these years in this field there is one t

After all these years in this field there is one thing I can promise you, there will ALWAYS be a new fad diet/exercise/supplement/etc looking to lure you in with a quick fix.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While, yes these quick fixes can work (mostly just in the short term) they almost always fall flat for the majority of individuals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well there are a lot of reasons but let me give some tough love.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. You need to learn to be more realistic with your body and your time.
👉🏻Your body is so unique that it will never look like anyone else's (unless maybe if you're an identical twin and even then it's not always guaranteed). I'm not saying you shouldn't want to work on your body but you need to stop trying to look like people who aren't you.
👉🏻Your time. Do you know what a lot of people with 6 packs do? Workout all day long, that's what. I'm not saying that's the case for everyone BUT you need to be realistic with your time. Do you have a stressful job that you have to keep to pay the bills? Well then you have less time to focus on movement and strict dieting, that's okay. Are you postpartum and learning to juggle a new life and baby? Guess what, you have way less time to be at the gym, and THATS OKAY.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and then…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. You have to be consistent with the basics if you ever want to see long term results. Sure, diving down a 21 day or 30 day challenge can work but if it didn't help you with the foundations of meal prep, intuitive eating, consistent meal timing, etc. then it will likely be unsustainable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So while I know a new fad seems fun and exciting I promise you realistic expectations and consistency will pay off long after the influencer moves on to the next best fad or greens powder.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okay?! Good talk. 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share with me below the latest fads out there so I can stay in the loop!

xoxo,
Sassy

I am not the same person I was before I met this l

I am not the same person I was before I met this little guy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, I’m still me but just a new, slightly more tired and definitely more emotional version of myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I still have dreams and aspirations for my business and my career but with a lot less urgency and with a new lens of what actually matters.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The past almost 7 months have changed me in ways I wasn’t prepared for and honestly you don’t know until you know. I wish I could tell myself a year ago to take a step back, enjoy the ride and know that everything will change but it will be ok and honestly it will be more fulfilling than you can imagine. But, I somehow think even telling her wouldn’t make a difference.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I thought I was going to hop right back into work like it was no big deal. However, all at once, all I could think about was my baby, I guess that makes sense now, but hindsight’s always 20/20. My heart grew and my capacity to focus on my business shrunk.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have felt like a failure day after day.

I know that I’m not but I constantly feel like I’m not doing enough in my business or good enough for my baby. I think I may always feel some version of this but I’m working on it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is an end of one chapter and the beginning of another. It’s the first day of daycare & my first day back to work full time and I’m equally relieved & sad. I’m excited and nervous. I’m hopeful and worried. That’s motherhood for you, a constant battle between two opposing emotions on repeat forever and ever.

Thanks for being on this journey with me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Xoxo,
Sassy aka Sappy

They say it takes a village and a village it is ta

They say it takes a village and a village it is taking to raise this boy and this new mama. Forever thankful for everyone near, far and on the internet who have offered me advice, support, a shoulder to cry on and for loving on my little dude.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has been a crazy 6-1/2 months and I'm in my feels this week as we prepare to send him to daycare next week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing that has been crucial to my postpartum recovery is sleep. I won't lie, it's not always perfect but I can say I'm super thankful for my village and the @the.peaceful.sleeper resources for helping me navigate it all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so much shame in the mom world but on this corner of the internet I never felt shamed and only felt empowered to teach my little dude how to fall asleep on his own so that he could get a good night sleep and so could we. I love this little boy more than he'll ever know and I never once felt our attachment suffer because of him getting more sleep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know everyone's journey is different and there really is no right way, only the way that works best for you & your family. I'm no expert in sleep but I sure do know that I recommend all my clients get a good night sleep and it has been a priority of mine for my family as well. What worked for us was setting good habits early and then doing a bit of sleep training around 4 months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is just what worked for us! Happy to share more but follow @the.peaceful.sleeper for more tips, tricks and for a healthy dose of fulfilled motherhood without the side of shame & guilt.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All this to say, this motherhood journey has been a wild ride of highs and lows and I am so thankful for my village, my sleep and my little dude.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
xoxo,
Sassy
