Living Younger Longer with Monica

My passion is partnering with people who want to feel better tomorrow than they feel today and have I started out just wanting to get healthy. How about you?

Through Shaklee products I found that I felt better, had more energy and didn't get sick anymore. I also found a company with a philosophy that fit my values - stay healthy - help others stay healthy - and be rewarded for teaching others to do the same. This collaborative approach is a better fit for me than the corporate world.

It was a perfect day for a little “lake walking”.

This is the Fraser fir that just didn’t want to die 🌲✨

Mid-January, I realized something funny - the tree was still fresh, still fragrant, still glowing like Christmas hadn’t gotten the memo to leave. And in that moment I decided… yes, let’s keep it up until Candlemas.

One of my favorite (and lesser-known) traditions of the Church is keeping the Christmas tree up through Candlemas — the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2. It marks the moment Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple and is traditionally considered the true close of the Christmas season.

I love that reminder.
That Christmas doesn’t abruptly end - the Light comes into the world, and we’re invited to let it linger a little longer.

So yes, the tree is still up.
Yes, it still makes me smile every time I walk by.
And yes… I’ll take it down tomorrow - gotta prepare for Ash Wednesday. 😘

Anyone else hold onto Christmas just a bit longer - by tradition or simply because it brings joy? 💛

Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for (someone) to devour.
Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings.
The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through Christ (Jesus) will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little.
To him be dominion forever. Amen.
- 1 Peter 5:8-11

Cling to Jesus in humility!

When I reflect on the stormy chapters in my life, I realize the Lord was always there as my refuge. During one of the darkest periods in my life, my son and I would pray together and read books about the Saints and Saint Padre Pio was an inspiration to both of us. David later took Pio as his patron saint for confirmation. And now he’s in the seminary preparing to become a priest. Trust the Lord during your hardships and believe that he can transform them into something beautiful.

Simple. Satisfying. Back to basics.

I’m intentional about starting my day with adequate protein — it supports energy, muscle, and focus, especially as we age.

This Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie is a reminder that nourishment doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective.

Recipe
½ banana
2 scoops vanilla protein*
⅓ cup cottage cheese
⅔ cup water
½ tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp peanut butter
Optional: cauliflower + avocado

Blend and go.

Curious — how do you start your day?

💧 Winter Hydration Reality Check 💧

I usually think of infused water as a summer thing, but I made this batch today for two good reasons…

• I’m on day 4 of our Five-Day Protein Reset
• I recently started taking creatine — and I’m learning hydration is key for best results

👉 Hydration matters more than we think — especially for energy, workouts, mental focus, digestion, and joint support.

Here’s the tricky part in winter…
Our thirst cues go quiet. We’re not sweating as much, drinking fewer cold beverages, and it’s easy to assume we’re “fine” — when we’re actually a little under-hydrated.

Infused water is one of my favorite simple habits. It turns
“I should drink more water” → “this actually tastes good.” 💗

✨ I created a FREE Hydration Self-Guided Course & Challenge inside my Living Younger Longer Skool community with:
✔️ A simple hydration tracker
✔️ Easy, realistic hydration tips
✔️ An infused water recipe guide (including this one!)

👇 Comment SKOOL and I’ll send you the link.

Do you find hydration harder in the winter too? 💧

He said YES to the Reset. 💪😄

Starting tomorrow, Derrick and I are doing the 5-Day Reset together!
I’m excited for both of us — simple structure, hardly any cooking, and 105g of protein a day just from what’s in the kit 🙌

We’re hitting reset on:
✨ Mindless snacking
✨ Holiday sugar overload
✨ Low-energy days

Typical results in just 5 days:
✔️ Inches lost (waist & hips)
✔️ Weight down
✔️ Fewer cravings
✔️ Better energy, mood & focus
✔️ Happier digestion

We’ll be sharing our daily updates + real-life commentary (yes, including Derrick 😆), so stay tuned!

This season of my life has reminded me that living younger longer isn’t about age at all.
It’s about staying curious. Staying grateful. Choosing strength — in body, mind, and spirit — so we can love and serve more fully.

Caring for ourselves because we are made in the image and likeness of God 🙏 - and our health matters.

That’s why I created a new space called Living Younger Longer on Skool.
A community where we learn together about health, strength, and nourishment — and encourage one another to keep growing, inside and out, with faith and joy.

Comment SKOOL for the link — I’d truly love to have you join us. 😘
