Comment “100” for the links! After cancer, I started paying attention to the little everyday things, including what touches my skin all day. I realized most of my closet was polyester and blends, so I slowly started swapping to 100% cotton where I could. It just feels more breathable and comfortable, especially when your body has been through a lot. Found these at Target — all 100% cotton, no blends, and actually affordable. Sharing in case you’re looking for the same kind of swap. Save this for your next Target run 🤍

Cancer changed the way I feel about getting older. Being here at 41 is a gift. 🤍 After cancer, I started paying closer attention to what I brought into our home and used on my body.

From one mom to another, these are worth sharing. 🥰 Comment YES and I’ll send you all the links!

Comment R3PLAN for a list of meals I ate + I’ve included the recipes! My goal with hearing about this weight loss plan was to not go into the holiday season feeling fluffy. I really wanted to shed the last 8 pounds that crept up on me over the past year of my cancer journey and cross-country move. These are my personal results on the full R3 yes/no list. It’s easy to follow and straightforward. If you’re tired of the stubborn weight, even in your perimenopausal phase, this is easy to do.

Comment PAIN and I’ll send you the link to the one I use! When my lower back pain slows me down, curcumin is what I reach for. It’s made such a difference for me! ❤️ I am hyper-mobile in my lower back, so just the wrong move and I might have a back spasm. I’m in physical therapy to help strengthen my back, but when I need relief, I reach for curcumin and it works so well! Comment PAIN and I’ll send you the link to the one I use!

What does a cancer survivor actually snack on? Here’s what I reach for every week. 🤍 After going through chemotherapy for stage 3 cancer, nourishing my body became deeply personal. And as a busy mom of 4, I want options that are simple, delicious, and affordable. From pumpkin chia pudding to apples with pecan butter, these are everyday foods I love and keep coming back to. The cucumbers with yogurt dill dip? Those are on repeat! You don’t need an expensive pantry overhaul to start making more intentional choices. Start with one snack you’ll actually look forward to eating. SAVE this post for your next grocery trip, and FOLLOW @homemaker.on.a.budget for real food ideas and nourishing habits from a cancer survivor and mom of four. Comment CHIA for my chia pudding recipe.
