YOUR DAILY MOTIVATOR

Improve your posture while you sit. Next time you’re lounging around watching TV, grab a small pillow and place it between the small of your back and the back of the couch. It’ll help you straighten out. And why is that important? Well, because having good posture prevents back problems as you get older and also makes you look and feel more confident about yourself. --G-Life Ladies

Start a compliment jar. When someone gives you a sweet compliment, write it down and slip it into a jar. Then on those days when things are goin’ wrong, open that jar and read all the great things people have said about you. How sweet! --G-Life Ladies

Need help winding down after a day of finals or a big game? Buy a few nature-inspired MP3s and drift away to sounds of the ocean waves crashing and a light breeze blowing. You can find ‘em on iTunes by searching “nature sounds.” Soo relaxing! --G-Life Ladies

Who said dessert couldn’t be healthy? Treat yourself and your fam tonight with homemade popsicles. All you’ll need is a popsicle mold (which you can pick up in your local grocery store for a few bucks) and the fruit juice that ya love best!

Making them is super-easy. Pour the juice into the mold and stick it in the freezer for about 4 hours. For pops with even fruitier flavor, cut some summer fruit (like berries and peaches) into small chunks and toss ‘em into the molds before the juice gets hard. Not only will you get a full serving of fruit, but these popsicles are also a cool way stay hydrated.
