ROCKING THAT FALL LOOK WITH prAna + TIPS

YAYYYYYY!..! 

My favorite time of the year is back.

We are finally in cozy up in the couch with a book, go roll yourself in leaves and basically cook up stews and enjoy warm drinks again, vibe.

I love when the temperature drops, the season changes and I basically get to rock that fall look. As someone who suffers from a mood disorder, keeping my mood when the weather gets cooler and the days are darker is a must.

The funky schedule and changes can mess with us and even have us cut back on our outside time. I know I am not the only one that can experience the holiday blues and even have a rough time during this time of the year.

TRUST me, I totally get this and understand this feeling.

While I always am on a super cheerful mood at first a couple weeks in my life can have its up and downs and my mood will sadly suffer.

Not only that but as someone who has experienced disordered eating, I know how tough this time of the year can be with all the holidays and the indulgent food. It was always a hard time for me when my eating disorder was in full swing. As much as I adore Thanksgiving and enjoy cooking it was still a very weird and awkward time for me.

That’s why I decided to partner up with prAna and give you guys some tips on how to properly rock that fall look and keep away those blue days. #MamboprAna

TIPS TO KEEP YOU FEELING GREAT

+ daily gratitude list/ journal is da BEST,  it really helps you keep a healthier, happier prospective with life.

+eat the rainbow, eat as colorful as you can

+eat slowly. I know sometimes I get super excited and want to try all these delicious foods, and literally over pile my plate with food and then eat quickly and don’t notice how full I actually am. Focus on your food, enjoy it, savor it and take small bites.

+don’t be hard on yourself, you are beautiful and should enjoy life.

+try to wake up and take a walk while the sun is rising. It really does make a difference with your mood. I LOVE going to the park and taking in the sunrise.

+ while it my be tempting to stay under your covers, try something new each week. Ceramic classes, pressing flowers or a new workout class. Who knows you might meet someone, discover a new passion or realize you can’t do ceramics to save your life. aka me.

+ the first thing you should do is make your bed, it really makes you feel like you started the day off right.

+ limit your caffeine fix, while it might seem like getting more caffeine in will boost you with energy. Caffeine can affect your mood, make you a little irritable, mess with your sleep and more.

+ babes stick to a schedule, when I lived in Boston it would get dark at like three in the afternoon and I would lock myself up, immediately. I learned with time that it was better to stay active doing something until at least six. I go out to coffee shops to be around people instead of being alone in my apartment. When I visit my mom in Denver I go to out instead of just chilling in her house.

+ a new sleep schedule will be your bestie, don’t go to sleep earlier than you normally do and stay in sleeping longer.

+staying active is a must for me, I do yoga in my apartment regardless of the weather outside, try to go out for a walk in the mornings before the sunrises and keep it up once it does and then if I didn’t make it that morning try to get one in in the afternoon. I also try to go to a new class every week.

+be social. I know this tough, as someone who is naturally an introvert and a blogger, I tend to shy away from being overly social. I do try to just be around people by going to coffee shops, roaming the aisle at Whole Foods and things that make me happy.

+ dress to impress. if that means rocking a dress, do it, if it means wearing leggings and booties, then go for it, if you like more of a comfy sweater and legging combo, you do you!

+remember to do things that make YOU happy! you are effing awesome, remember that!
