I wanted to share for all of my “breakfast/brunch/lunch” people out there! I had that chance to attend the Friends and Family Day at the new Famous Toastery opening next week on Lakestone Commons Ave in Fuquay. If you’re looking for a daytime place to eat, you have GOT to check this place out. Everything is made from scratch, fresh, and is DELICIOUS!

The waitstaff is super knowledgeable and kind, and since they all work together to take care of you, your needs are always met. You can see that management has instilled the importance of teamwork, it absolutely shows.

Did I mention they have outdoor seating?!

Look for their opening this Tuesday 5/27, you won’t be disappointed ☕️🥞🍳🧇

🏃🏻‍♀️Because we are not just about massage therapy, but overall wellness, I want to take a moment to highlight the importance of breathing properly while running.

😤This morning’s run, I wanted to intentionally use only nasal breathing. Now, depending on the intensity of the workout, there are times where mouth breathing is necessary, but just on an easy 3 miles, one should be able to do so with their lips sealed (unless there’s restriction due to congestion or other restrictions).

👅Breathing through the nose helps keep your tongue in its proper placement on the roof of your mouth this along with keeping a relaxed jaw will allow you to hold less tension in your body while moving, which means you’ll have more energy for your run. Not to mention the increase in O2 uptake and delivery to working muscles.

💨If you’re having a hard time with airway restriction or keeping your proper mouth posture, I strongly encourage you to reach out to Darcey at she’s brilliant in this area!

✨Here’s a tip to help keep your nutrition in check

🥗 Do you find that you buy produce with the intention of eating it throughout the week, but then it goes in the crisper drawer never to be seen again (until it’s time to throw it in the trash)?

🥗Try this! Swap out your condiments in the door for your produce. This will make you see it EVERYTIME you open the door and it will be at the front of your mind. Keep your condiments in the drawer, you won’t forget they’re down there and it might give you a chance to toss some of those possibly expired dressings😊
