December is National Safe Toys and Gifts Month. 🎁

Toys bring so much joy this season, but they can also pose serious risks if they’re not age-appropriate. With thousands of children visiting the ER each year for toy-related injuries, a little awareness goes a long way.

Here's a quick guide to choosing safe, age-appropriate toys to help keep the holidays happy and healthy. ❤️

What healthy habits are you working on in December? Here are a few to help you get started.

December asks more of your biology than most months — shorter days, colder temps, less light, more stimulation.
And while this season can be beautiful, it also places a different kind of load on your nervous system, blood sugar, and circadian rhythm.

These reminders aren’t about doing more — they’re about doing what actually supports your body when sunlight is low and demands are high:

– Choosing workouts you can stay consistent with
– Eating protein and fiber first to steady energy before the treats
– Letting rest be part of your productivity, not the opposite
– Lightening the sugar load when you bake
– Taking a few quiet moments to reflect before a new year begins
– Getting even a small dose of morning sun to stabilize your internal clock

December tends to pull us outward... to events, tasks, expectations. These reminders are designed to pull you back inward, so you move through the month feeling steady, supported, and well.

Eating balanced doesn’t mean eating “perfectly.” It means fueling your body with a variety of foods that give you the nutrients, energy, and support you need to feel your best. That usually looks like:

🥦 Fruits + vegetables for vitamins and fiber
🍞 Whole grains for long-lasting energy
🍗 Protein to support strength and healing
🥑 Healthy fats for brain and heart health

No food has to be “off limits” to eat balanced. It’s all about variety, consistency, and care. 💙

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, but you don’t need to wait for the holiday to start a gratitude practice. You might notice that you feel good when you practice small moments of reflection each day, and doing so can actually support your health. 🧘💪

Not sure where to start? Try this:

✔️ Write down one thing you’re thankful for each night before bed
✔️ Pause at meals to share something good about your day
✔️ Send a quick thank-you note to someone who’s helped you recently

Gratitude doesn’t have to be complicated, and the benefits go far beyond what you might expect.
