NEW POST- How to Set Goals and Actually Achieve Them- LINK IN BIO! ••• That time of year is coming, where everyone sits and attempts to come up with new years resolutions. The things they REALLY want to focus on. How many of you still have some of these things unchecked from last year? I know I do. It’s okay! Here is a list of proven strategies to actually accomplish your goals and what to do if you don’t always hit the mark. It’s never to early to get a head start 🤗 ••• What’s one of your goals? Gratitude? Weight loss? More yoga? Less sweets? Comment them below!

One big thing I’ve learned through eating more produce is how to properly store it to make it last longer. No more limp lettuce and broccoli in 3 days! Woo! ••• Here are some ways I store my food to extend the life of my veggies: - carrots: either wrap in a damp cloth or soak in water as pictured. Carrots will last for weeks unpeeled in water. Replace water every few days. - lettuce: put the stem side in about an inch of water. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting. And if it starts to wilt, you can do this to revive it too! - spinach and kale: wash immediately when you bring it home. Then store in either a dry cloth or a container with a paper towel on the bottom. Make sure your container allows airflow. Doing this will keep it from getting slimy. - avocado: If you have the full avocado, keep it in the fridge to make it last longer. If you are only eating half, eat the half without the seed. Store the half with the seed in an airtight container, my @stasherbag works like a charm! - broccoli: storm the stem side in just a little bit if water. Treat broccoli like flowers. Replace water every few days. - mushrooms: store in a cloth bag in your fridge. ••• 📌 save this post to reference the next time you buy veggies! ••• I hope this helps you out a bit! How do you store your veggies? Do you have any suggestions to add? Comment them below!

Who else loves the look of bulk buying? 🙋🏼‍♀️ ••• Some thing I wish I knew when I started were: - make sure that you either know the tare (empty) weight of the jar or you write it on the jar before you buy. There are scales in every bulk section that you can easily weigh your empty jar at. If you know the tare weight, you can tell the cashier so you don’t get charged for the weight of the jar. - be patient with the cashiers. Not all places have tons of people bringing their own containers in every day. Some cashiers may not know how to take the tare weight off, just be patient and let them call the manager. But don’t get discouraged by this, the more people that buy in bulk, the more cashiers that will know how to do it! - they have bulk sections at many normal grocery stores. Kroger, Festival Foods, and other normal grocery stores will have small, dry bulk sections. Keep an eye out! - have a way to mark your jars. I just use either a marker or tape and a pencil. But I have heard china markers working too! - you don’t need to buy jars! I have so many old pasta, peanut butter, and pickle jars that I have been using for years! Buying the cute Mason Jars are nice but definitely not necessary!
