IN MY FITNESS "ERA"



What is an "ERA?" You may have heard the youth saying, "I am in my ___era." Era, is a term that Taylor Swift has used to describe each of her albums. Each album portrays an "era" or part of her life. An era is simply the "phase of life" you are currently in and it literally can be anything.

I don't think I've cared for or had the motivation to care for my physical health this much until this year. I have been working out everyday since Jan 1st, and once a week, I attend a workout class with my best friend Alexa.

I have found that working out with friends is the best motivator for me. It's been a blessing to have friends that value their health as well, and are willing to get up in the morning or late evenings to go do 30 minutes or more of exercise. I promise you as you try to workout everyday, you can start to see a change in every aspect of your life. There is a reason God has commanded that we take care of our bodies. He knew/knows how important our physical, mental and emotional health is. Exercise helps balance all of them.

Month of Love

This month can be especially hard for those who don't have much love in their lives. Or, they are still single. For me, my pattern of love has been difficult and it's hard to see my married friends spending time with their significant others when I don't have one myself. Being gay is difficult in Utah. Adding being an active gay LDS makes it even more difficult because I am compared to how the church has acted towards LGBTQ+ and I am instantly held to a standard or belief that I don't agree with.  When I've met other gay men, it's been difficult for them to accept my beliefs and the fact that I still am active. They can't get past the fact I have a belief system and that I continue to go when it's difficult. Dating has been hard for me in general....and I've felt inadequate and unable to have love in my life multiple times. I highly encourage you to reach out to those who identify in the LGBTQ+ community and make sure they feel loved.  Everyone des...

I Ditch Making Cookies To Sell Skincare For Men

I needed to get a big boy job that would benefit me more than trying to sell a cookie. As many of you know, I started working for a cookie company in September. It was a temporary position while I looked for a PR job or something remote. It took me several months to find a job that seemed interesting and applied to what I am studying in college. I found a job opportunity and was hired by the end of the week. The company is called Mox and it's a skincare company dedicated to strengthening men's skin through their 100% natural products. If you don't know, I love skincare products. I have a small routine that I do myself and I couldn't help but jump on this opportunity. I am a marketing specialist and I will be mainly helping coordinate collaborations with influencers and celebrities. We are currently discussing a deal with Chris Evans! This job is completely remote and pays more than the cookie shop! So, I am excited to get more experience and meet so many amazing in...

"I'M HAPPY, FREE, CONFUSED AND LONELY IN THE BEST WAY..."

  22 is a milestone that I’ve been waiting for ever since I listened to Taylor Swift’s album Red for the first time on the way to my Great Grandma’s house to pick her up for my piano recital. This song has been deeply rooted in my life and has been a song that I have sung over and over as I have patiently waited for the time to use my favorite lyric from 22. The number “22” is a sign of good luck or of positive things to come. As I am learning to not look back or forward, but be present, I am excited to figure out what positive things are coming my way. The number “17” is the only prime number that is the sum of four consecutive primes. Seventeen is a sign that you need to let go of things that are holding you back. I’ve made it a goal this year to focus on myself more and care for my body.
