What is my "Diet" ?

Diet is a broad term and a dirty word. I am not AT ALL a fan of the word "diet." But for some reason, it is a word the entire western hemisphere understands. When someone goes on a "diet," they change their eating habits, their exercise regime (if they even had one) and they stick to it. For like, two months. And then they go back to their old habits and regain most of - if not all - of the weight they worked so hard to lose. The original definition for "diet" is the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats. How the heck did we change that? I am not going to go into how the western hemisphere has changed the definition of a whole word but rather I am going to rant about my diet. As the original definition has it. Except.. we are going to change the word. Because I still think "diet" is dirty. How about... Lifestyle? Yes, let us go with that.     What is my Lifestyle? Lifestyle is defined as the way in wh...

Menstrual Phase Supporting Soup and Cycle Syncing

It started last night, after sitting in the church parking lot with my boyfriend. We had just attended Wednesday night student service and we were discussing the sermon. It was a really good message, one about diets. The pastor explained that the diet you follow, the things you consume, decide your direction. And my boyfriend and I discussed this for a good ten minutes before teetering off the subject. Somehow.. We came to the subject of my cycle . For an unexplained reason, boys find the topic "ew." Perhaps mommas forget to teach their boys that its not gross. Thankfully, I've found myself with a young man who allows me to talk about the subject and explain things to him like why my cycle is forty days long instead of the normal twenty-eight. And why I get so moody during certain phases, so talkative during one, and quiet the next phase. I had just mentioned to him that night that I was six days late compared to my last cycle. No big whoop. It was as if God heard me ...

New April Tunes

  I love putting things together for other people. Whether it be food, workouts, or playlists, I enjoy sitting down and planning. Every month I would clean out my music selections on Spotify to bring my ears some fresh tunes for the month. And now I am offering it to you! Every month I will be posting a new list of songs that I'm digging. Music is a soul food; a relaxing component to life. Search through this list and see what country, R&B, rap, pop, or moody tune fits your spirit.         April Playlist Follow hannahsbalance on Spotify for more frequent updates Alien - Sabrina Carpenter, Jonas Blue Delirious - Chase Fouraker  Getting Over You (R3HAB Remix) - Lauv, R3HAB Hold Onto You - About the Author, Beleaf Queens Don't - RaeLynn Do U (STeLOUSE Remix) - Niko Blank, Jacob Luttrell, SteLouse Livin' Young - Take Two You Broke Up with Me - Walker Hayes Him & I - G-Eazy, Halsey Your Life Isn't Over - Trent Shelt...
