I Tried To Quit Plexus


I stopped taking my Plexus supplements.

No more "pink drink", no more probiotic, no more BioCleanse, no more multivitamin, protein powder...nada.

AND IT WAS THE WORST DECISION EVER!!

Ok, so maybe that title is a little dramatic.

I didn't try to quit, it just kind of happened!

I slowly ran out of a supplement or two, and life just got busy and I didn't think I'd miss them that much. So I just let them all run out.

I was aware that I should really get some more, but I tried to convince myself that Plexus supplements didn't really make that much difference.

And you know what happened?

I started feeling like crap again.

I felt like I did before I found Plexus - headaches, tiredness, upset stomach and irregular BMs, not sleeping as well, more breakouts, and more irritability. I was starting to wonder what was going on with me when I thought, "when was the last time I drank my Slim? Or took my BioCleanse and Probio5?!" 

 And then it was a lightbulb moment for me.

The fact that my body was having such a hard time made me realize just how much my supplements were doing for me! My Plexus supplements were working, and I gave up on them!*

 You see, I've been on this journey of seeking increased health and happiness for awhile now. From August 2016 - August 2017, my husband was deployed overseas. To briefly sum up that year, it was a struggle to keep up with my physical and mental health. I went into survival mode, and I've been digging hard to come back out of it. In January of 2018, my husband and I had a talk and he made me realize that I wasn't myself. I knew I needed to make some changes to be better for myself, for my husband, and for my kids.

So I've been eating more clean, setting more goals for myself, focusing more on self-care, working out regularly, finding personal development books to read, basically anything to improve my overall well-being. I've been documenting it along the way mainly on Instagram (for some reason that felt like a safe place to start!), but now I feel like I need to share elsewhere, too.

I. CAN'T. GIVE. UP. ON. PLEXUS!!!

It's been way too important for my health and happiness!

I was active in my Plexus business for 2 years and then I took a break. I was in that pivotal time where I was learning about myself and deciding what I wanted out of life, for me. Sometimes you just need to take a break, or take a step back to gain some perspective. I spent a lot of time thinking and praying and just wondering.

And I've made the decision to RE-LAUNCH my Plexus business!

I just can't live without my health and happiness company! Health and happiness is literally my exact journey right now, and I realized just how much these supplements do for me! They make me feel so great - which is the most lackluster adjective EVER to explain these products - but I don't think the word exists to describe the feeling!

I keep sharing my journey on Instagram because I have wanted other people to realize the power of putting your health and happiness FIRST! That can feel very challenging when we seem to be pulled in so many different directions in our lives! But you have to make yourself a priority!! At first, it kind of feels selfish, but once you start seeing how much better you feel, you suddenly understand it is SO. WORTH IT!!

Ever heard people say, "you'll never regret spending money on traveling!"?

I feel like the same applies to your health! You'll never regret spending money on your health! Supplementation is preventative healthcare! And when you feel healthy, you feel HAPPY!!

 I have made a lot of positive changes over the last few months, and I'm focused on my Plexus supplements, my workouts (more on this later!), my diet (I have SO much to share about this!!), and my mental health (we neeeeeed to talk about this more!). I'm feeling pretty proud of my progress so far! Health and happiness is a journey, not a destination, so I'm even more focused on how I can make these permanent lifestyle changes. Mental health is so so so so important, and I feel like my mind is in a lot better place than it was this time last year. I'm so glad that I jumped up and decided to do something about my own state of mind and my physical well-being!

I'm so excited to continue to share about my health and happiness journey with you all!!

And get ready for my Plexus Re-launch SALE!! You can't have a Grand Re-Opening without a good sale - coming SOON!!

Let's Play Series: Summer is HERE!

I'm trying to get my life together (I feel like I'm always saying this!) and I've come up with a summer schedule for my 2 and 3 year old! I wanted a schedule that allows for lots of playtime and exploration in a laid back, no pressure kind of way. I didn't want to be on a specific timeline, so I only chose a few things that require a specific time commitment. The rest of our schedule is on our terms! This is the first summer that I feel like I'm ready for something structured. My kids are 19 months apart, and my youngest is now about 2.5 and I'm not tied down with needing to breastfeed a baby or rushing home for nap times (car naps are the WORST!!). I'm still pretty rigid with nap times, but they are old enough that we can be a little more flexible and it's not that big of a deal anymore. Last summer, my husband was deployed, so trying to do things by myself all the time with a 1 and 2 year old was truly a struggle some days. So I am READY to embrace a...

The Long-Anticipated Blog Name Change!!

I started my blog in May 2010, and I didn't even write a single post for nearly 2 years. I wanted a blog, but I didn't know what I wanted to do with it . I remember just sitting in my living room, newly married, and just slapping a name on the blog: Domestic Diva Domain ( I love alliteration, okay?! It's the cutesy preschool teacher in me!). I didn't love it, but I thought, it'll do. Fast-forward a few years, and I dabbled in different topics, such as recipes, DIY tutorials, a few random updates about my life, and some Wordless Wednesday posts with just photos. I spent some time trying to understand how to format a blog and realized I'd never  understand coding! Everything I  know about blogging was learned from countless hours basically doing trial and error using the provided templates. I linked up a few of my posts with Pinterest and that got me A LOT of views! One of my posts has been linked in many online articles about creative storage for the home. I...

Making Myself A Priority: A Journey

You know what is kind of cool? Every time I work out, in the middle of all the sweat and struggle and discomfort and thoughts of "this is hard; I want to quit", I also have these really amazing thoughts of perseverance during hard times. It's almost like the clouds of negativity dissipate in my mind, allowing positive thoughts to filter in. I kind of bask in the high of my endorphins, and let the inspirational thoughts float around in my head! Back when I went to the gym, I would get these thoughts too. I always remember thinking that I wished I had a way to blog while running on the treadmill because I would get these inspirational thoughts and I wanted to write them down! I would finish my workout and basically run to the nearest table and chair just so I could whip out my phone and jot down my thoughts! And now, I'm sitting on the edge of my chair, all sweaty, post-workout, to get this all written down! My thoughts never seem to come out as fluidly if I wa...
