home vlog candida chat, barn, cooking

Good morning friends, I'm sitting in my office answering some emails

Then I'm going to go run some errands and then go see Cashew

So first before we go see Cashew, I want to tell you what happened

So he got hurt and it literally was the saddest thing I've ever seen in my entire life

Like I wanted to cry. As my trainer was blending him with the other horses since he's new to the barn and they

opened the pastures to let them all be together and a couple of the horses started chasing

Cashew and it was really muddy because it just rained and so Cashew was trying to get

away from him but one of his hooves got stuck in the mud so we think that he like sprained

an ankle or like the equivalent to sprain an ankle or like pulled a little muscle and

so he was limping. I'll put in a little clip of how he was standing a few days ago

It was like the saddest thing ever just because like horse injuries can be really serious

sometimes if they break their leg in a certain area like there's no coming back from that

But like honestly even if like this industry this injury wouldn't allow me to ever ride

him again I wouldn't care like I don't have Cashew to ride horses

I have Cashew because I want to be his best friend like I just want to have that connection

with him and I just want to take care and love him. Like that is what I'm trying to get out of having a horse so like I would take care of

him anyways like I would make it work. So we're still trying we're still like you know gonna see how it goes how it heals

He started walking better like he's not limping as much so that's progress

I'm really happy about that. I'm gonna go check on him today

I might go brush him. I'm not gonna do anything crazy. I probably won't walk him just because I want him to heal a little bit longer but we're

gonna go to the barn and say hi and yeah. But first I'm gonna finish answering some emails and doing some work stuff

So before I go to the barn I'm gonna make a little lunch

I'm probably gonna make some like ground beef or something like that

And I'm having this kombucha. This is my first time having it

It's really good. It's ginger cayenne. I've been like obsessed with cayenne pepper recently

I've been making this like cayenne honey vinaigrette dressing for my salads and it's really good

Anyways I really like this. You should go try it. So one thing that I've learned about just health in general is that like your gut microbiome

is so important so crucial. It helps you fight all of the bad bacteria that can make you sick

And after like just years of taking antibiotics and not you know having yogurt after like they

tell you. Like I just never took it seriously because I didn't understand

I feel like after years of doing that it just messes up your system

And so I've been learning a lot about like rebuilding your gut and introducing good bacteria

into your microbiome. And so kombucha is one of my favorite ways to do that

I used to have like a spoonful of sauerkraut. Sometimes I'll do it but sometimes I just like I hated doing it because I didn't like it

So then I found myself like trying to avoid it at all costs

And so kombucha is one of my favorite ways because it tastes good

It's like a little drink. Um it's nothing. Oh right now I'm not having any dairy because of candida

That's another thing. I haven't updated you on that. Okay before I go on a whole tangent about candida and I have to update you guys about that

My body feels like it's a mess right now but it's okay. I'm figuring it out

Another way I like to get my probiotics in is this coco june coconut yogurt

It has a bunch of live active cultures. Um and it's really good

So I'll do that. And then I take the cicara probiotics. Actually I just got this liquid probiotic from my erythro-organics and I was gonna start

putting that into my protein shakes or into like just things like that

Um just to help add some more. Okay so my poor gut health and my overuse of antibiotics throughout my life and not

you know putting the good bacteria back in. It ties hand in hand with candida

Candida it's a lot easier for it to grow when it doesn't have the right bacteria, the right

good bacteria to fight it. And then since I was exposed to mold, mold and candida they're like best friends

They're two peas in a pod. Partners in crime. And so since I have mold toxicity it's easy for candida to grow

And since I didn't have the right you know healthy good gut bacteria to fight off any

of that it was perfect storm. So y'all I'm back on the candida diet

I'm gonna put you out really quick while I make my lunch

So I always get asked about my recipes and I'm pretty simple to be honest with most things

Like sometimes I feel bad like sharing it because it's literally just like a few ingredients

Um but for my ground beef I'm just putting on some garlic salt and some pepper

If I was like trying to make this taste really good I would just chop up some onions and

some fresh garlic. I add yellow onions to like pretty much every single meal and I just think it makes it taste

really good. But I just want to get out to the barn so I'm just gonna eat this really quick

Hello friends. I just got back from riding horses. I didn't ride Cashew because he's not feeling the best

Um so I rode a horse named Prince and it was good to get back there and just exercise all

of the little tools that I learned. Um because I haven't taken like a horse ride lesson in a long time

So it was fun to get back up there. I was a little bit nervous but it was good

The horse really did care of me. Um but I'll give you the update on Cashew

He's doing better. His limp isn't as bad. Thank the lord. Um so yeah

But anyways right now I'm about to go on a walk with my cousin Dallas

We are going to go to this really pretty trail here in Nashville

Um so yeah before I go I want to show you my outfit

So this is the bodysuit I'm wearing. It's from Aritzia. It like fits so good

It just like snatches the waist. Um and it has this like cute little zipper detail

And then I have this hat. I think I got it from Urban. I don't remember

Did I? Or Brandy. Um and then my Solomon shoes. The XTX

I'm gonna fill up with water and then get going. I have a poopy ass today buddy

Did you poop all over your hand? It's okay. I just dropped Cornette off at home and now I'm gonna go to the grocery store

I think I'm gonna make like a steak and a salad tonight

I'm really feeling like red meat for some reason. You guys know I'm back on the candida diet

I'm gonna buy a bunch of like candida safe ingredients. Um I like found a bunch of recipes on Pinterest that I'm gonna make

So yeah. Just a normal grocery run. I'm gonna make a salad

Michael and I are gonna do some spring cleaning today. Um we're both gonna go through our closets

I have so much to get rid of. Um I have a bunch of packages to open

I wanna deep clean the house. We took off the um globes to all like our you know lighting and we're gonna clean them

cause they're all dusty and gross. Um yeah it's just gonna be one big clean day

It's raining outside so it's a perfect day to do this. It's been like super sunny and warm yesterday and the day before um so I didn't wanna like

clean or anything. So I've had this planned for an entire week

We're finally getting it done. This little kitty right here has just been trying to get up on the counter and eat all

the food in the sink. Crazy girl. I'm gonna show you a before of my closet

Currently the shelves are just like bursting at the seam. And I have too many shirts, a big pile of new clothes that I just bought and nowhere

to put them. So I'm gonna just go through all this stuff, put it in a giveaway pile, and we'll be good

to go. Michael's currently hotboxing me in here. He just farted. It's your cooking babe. I

Okay so this is a mountain of clothes that I'm giving away

There's so much. Um yeah so I'll show you the update on the closet

Went through all of like my dresses and vacation wear. I still feel like I have too many sweatshirts but I just feel like I can't get rid of them

So it's just gonna stay super crowded. Went through all my bottoms too

Still really crowded but I just don't want to get rid of some stuff because I'm like

what if I want to wear it again, you know? Guys I'm gonna close out my vlog here
