In case you missed our last episode of An Extra Dose, you can listen to that here!
A little about this episode:
On this episode of An Extra Dose Podcast, Samantha and Alexis are chatting with Taylor, Samantha’s boyfriend. They are discussing what would be a deal breaker or red flag in a relationship, and what their opinions on each topic are: being “bad” at texting, playing “games” in the relationship, grooming, excessive hair, being very opinionated, and more!
So many good sales going on, and this one, Amazon Prime Day, is one that we all can shop (and should ;))! There are TONS of deals happening all day, so be sure and constantly check back here for the best deals.

Can you all believe the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is starting this week?! We are going to be sharing ALL about the sale towards the end of the week, so be sure to check THIS post for all of the details on the sale and how to shop it!
Below are some the favorites that will be ON SALE, so be sure to check back at this post when the sale goes live, so you can add these to your cart before they sell out!
**We always recommend ordering multiple sizes if you aren’t sure just because you can always return for free if it doesn’t fit!
Traveling is something that makes us anxious. Well, everything making us anxious 😉 Besides figuring out what to pack, what to take on the plane, and literally remembering every little detail that you need, even if it is just for a weekend, you still have to remember snacks. We know, *insert major eye roll*! Well, some of you all may not care as much as we do about food, but, we take it very seriously.
We wanted to share some of our go-to snacks to take with us when traveling, or even if you are on-the-go! Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean you can’t be prepared or make better choices. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge every once in a while!
Preparation is key
If you do anything, always, always prepare! Without preparation, you will almost always fail. We are always planning ahead, and making sure that we have prepped and ready to go. Whether you are in town, or traveling, you want to make sure you have snacks that are accessible and enjoyable to eat.
Make a list
If you are headed on a road trip, make sure you make a list of things you want to pack with you whether it is fresh fruits, chips, popcorn, or other things (we will provide our favorites at the bottom of this post!).
Chop up any necessary items
If you’re packing food with you for a trip, make sure you have bags or containers you can take with you, and to chop up anything you can’t eat whole.
Chew mindfully
This is something we honestly struggle with A LOT. We eat so fast and on-the-go, but you ideally want to chew something at least 20 times before swallowing. Seems crazy, but it allows you digest your food better, and also helps to get satiated.
Load up on the fruits
Up until a year ago, we would eat fruits, but not the amount we eat now. Typically, we could eat at least 4-5 apples a day, each. Fruit is literally the best snack out there.
You can take them anywhere you are going, they stay fresh when traveling, and they are good for you! They have so many health benefits, and we love that they have fiber, so they keep you fuller longer. Also, they treat a sweet tooth, which we always have! 😉
Carry snacks in style
We always like to pack our food in something that is practical, but not ugly. We love these silicon stasher bags (all silicon and free of chemicals!) and these glass containers if we are taking leftovers, or something like that.
Avoid processed foods and added sugars
If you follow one tip, it should be this one! You could try to be the healthiest person in the world, but if you are loading up on added sugars and processed ingredients, you are not doing yourself justice. Sadly, a lot of labels misguide us, and make us think we are eating something healthy, when in reality, it is all full of ingredients we don’t recognize. Pay close attention to things like “natural and artificial flavors” and preservatives.
You can wear them with so many things, and they add the perfect amount of print. We love Sole Society for all of their great accessories for summer and fall, and all of them are pretty much under $100!
