These Friday posts are definitely one of my favorites to read. Love that button up. Not sure if I can make it throughout the weekend without ordering it. Congrats on your friends wedding!!! I mean, being a bridesmaid is so much fun but a DJ, too!? Amazing!
I always love your link shares, lady! Happy Friday!
Thanks, Jenn! Hope you’re having a great trip!
Lovely look and lovely links! Thanks for sharing!
My mind is blown about the banana thing. I’ve totally been patting myself on the back for my banana consumption. Thanks for sharing this sad piece of info!
I know, I feel you. Just make sure you eat it with something protein-rich to off-set the sugar crash (like almonds, almond butter, peanut butter, yogurt, etc).
For supplements…Epicor!!!
The short-ish version of the story behind it is this: about 60 or 70 years ago, a company was putting Epicor in the feed mix it was giving its animals. There was a group of people whose job it was to mix it in, and eventually, those people went to their superiors to ask if they could use their sick days as vacation days because they were never getting sick—the company realized these people were breathing in the Epicor and it was boosting their immune systems.
My mom read about it and put my grandpa on it in the last few years of his life, and more recently she made me start taking it. I took some very heavy antibiotics a few years back that f*cked me up for what I assumed would be life. I took various probiotics on their own off and on for three years and had very little improvement. About 3 months ago, I started taking Epicor with my probiotics and the improvement was speedy and amazing. I know I sound like a legit spokesperson for this but if you’d been dealing with what I was, you’d be singing its praises, too! Something about the cultures in it create a more healthy environment for the probiotics to stick, too. You can find it on Amazon 🙂
I’ve watched that Michael Phelps video a few times, incredibly inspiring and a great message!
