A little about this episode:
On this episode of An Extra Dose Podcast, we are chatting all about meditation for beginners with Dorsey Standish of Mastermind Meditation. We have all heard of it, but most of us are probably too intimidated to try it out (we were, too!). Maybe you are trying to alleviate some stress or anxiety as well!
We discuss how to get started on a meditation practice, tips on staying focused during a session, and how it has a ton of brain health benefits!

We love this pink one because it is under $20 and looks like a pouch! This one is also great and is a square shape, so it is compact and has a lot of compartments.
We have a few that we love! This camo pair is super cute and this grey pair is more fitted, so great for petites!

We make these “crackers” and they are not REAL crackers, but we make little “pizzas” on them with tomato sauce and veggies!
In a large bowl, mix pulp with seasoning and flaxseed.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Line a few baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop some of the mixture on the parchment paper.
Flatten the mixture into a flat round shape, and make it pretty thin so it can cook better.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until cooked and browning, even a little burnt in some parts!
Note: It will not get super crispy, but you still get the taste of it!
Here are a few we love! Also, just using some fresh tahini, lemon juice, and water is really yummy!
Yes! We have been loving it! We will be covering a blog post next week on all of it, but just to summarize: helps with cellulite, stimulates metabolism, helps with lymphatic drainage, and improves balance. It is also easier on the joints! We have been doing 20-30 minutes 5-6 times a week! We have this rebounder!
We wear this Urban Decay Cosmetics Vice Lipstick in “Naked”.
There are so many we love, but some of our favorites are Marc Jacobs Daisy, Mugler Alien, and Ralph Lauren Romance.
We use this BeautyBlender a ton for foundation. This brush set has all the essentials and this one is really good, too!
We shared some tips in this blog post and this podcast episode a while back, but basically, you have to “train” your hair to go that long between washes. Use a lot of dry shampoo, perfume (to mask the smell)
We love this Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo!
We use our IPhoneX for most of our photos! If we are shooting for the blog, we use our Canon5Ti with a 50mm lens 1.8.

LEGGINGS:
So this pair of grey + white ones is adorable– perfect neutral!
We also LOVE these camo ones (come in two colors), and this Outdoor Voices pair is one of our favorites– comes in so many fun color combos!
TANKS:
We almost always workout in some sort of tank! This black twisted one is more cropped, but super cute with some higher waisted leggings!
This graphic tee looks adorable with anything, even some shorts or jeans!
Love this lavender pastel tank, and this blue one says “hello weekend!”
BRAS:
We get asked so much about sports bras! Since we have breast implants, we try to go for high-support bras. This grey one is one of our favorites and we have it in a few colors!
This camo one is made by Spanx, so you know it will fit well!
JACKETS:
With spring temps, you still need a light jacket to throw on over your tank! We love this bomber jacket that has buttons– also super cute for running around, and comes in white!
A zip up jacket like this blush one is great for throwing on even with a casual look and comes in a few color options!
ACCESSORIES:
You all know we LOVE our apple watch! We just ordered this leopard strap for it and this cover/bumper protects your watch from scratches and looks fun and metallic!
Our Apple Airpods are the best! We use them for calls, traveling, walks, and workouts and they actually stay in!
SHOES:
Out of all of these the Adidas Ultraboosts are, without a doubt, our favorites! So comfy!
The Nike Free’s are also a big fave of ours. We have like 5 or 6 colors in them, so you know we love them 😉
UPDATED WORKOUT ROUTINE:
If you all have been following us, you know we have switched up our workouts in the last month or so. Our bodies had been craving less intense workouts than what we had been doing, so we started doing more workouts at home using P.volve, going to pilates at Session Pilates, going on walks, and jumping on the rebounder at home!
We honestly used to be in the mindset, like a lot of you probably are, to get in that sweaty workout, or it’s not a “real workout”, but mentally, and physically, we feel so much better and less stressed, if that makes sense?

Speaking of rebounding, we have been doing it almost every day for a couple weeks, and have been loving it! We have been getting SO many questions about it, so we will do a blog post next week on the benefits and all about that, so just to summarize quickly, it helps a lot with your lymphatic system, cellulite, and is less hard on your body! This one is the rebounder we use!
This what our schedule has been like more less:
Monday– Pilates, rebounder jumping for 20 minutes
Tuesday– P.volve workout at home, rebounding for 20-25 minutes
Wednesday– walk for 20-30 minutes, P.volve ab and arm workout for 20 minutes
Thursday– Pilates, rebounder for 15-20 minutes
Friday– P.volve workout for 40-50 minutes
Saturday- walk on treadmill for 25 minutes on incline, short 20-30 minute workout using resistance bands
Sunday- off day or go on short walk!
Are you all fans of Valentine’s Day? We honestly just love the pink and red color combo, haha. We both think it can be a little over-hyped, but we can’t say no to chocolate, flowers, or hearts, right?!
We asked you all, and you all wanted outfit ideas, as well as some gift ideas, so we have some good ones we rounded up for y’all!
As far as outfit ideas, we put together some casual looks you could wear to to date night, Galentine’s dinner/brunch, some dressier looks to wear to dinner, or some cozy pieces for a night in!
