7 Busy Girl Life Hacks to Staying Healthy

[@MsImaneS]

My number 1 healthy habit is wake up for fajr (morning) prayer. Been consistent for over three years 💪

[@HealthNutNutrition]

sounds like a great self care practise morning :)

Can you connect with me about this? I am new to fajr, and have been aiming for strong practice everyday! Please!

[@JennyYogi]

I get up at 7 am, every day even on weekends, then I write my 5-minute-journal while taking some sips of coffee. Then I usually meditate for 10 minutes. Afterwards I do either a HIIT, yoga, cardio or any other workout. I take a shower then, eat a healthy breakfast and THEN I start working/doing the things that have to be done for the day for which I always write a to-do list on the night before. I usually go to bed before 11 pm to make sure that I get 7 to 8 hours of sleep. That's my "busy girl" routine :D

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Love love this! I sometimes write my to do list the night before but usually its in the morning. Maybe I should switch it up it might help me sleep better knowing I have everything already done on paper so I dont forget ;) Thanks for sharing it sounds like the perfect morning! xo

[@JennyYogi]

Aww

[@ppau-]

Sweet2Rani That's cool, if your work starts that late but I'm usually leaving for work way earlier than 7 am.

[@tati3861]

Yeah that's actually not a busy lifestyle what the f

[@lilyb.7922]

With 4 kids good luck trying to chill out am or go to bed early ´cause hello me time at 23hrs 😂i still manage to train 5 days a week...

[@nimisha8607]

This is probably the most realistic habit video❤️

[@Atmviola]

I'm in college right now, and this semester I made it a goal to prioritize health over school. Even if I don't quite finish all my work, I always try to get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. If I don't, then I'm just stressed and not productive the next day. I also like to go on brisk walks around campus to relieve tension from sitting in class and studying.

[@TheTaits08]

My new healthy habit is for my mind. I downloaded the Headspace App. Its a guided meditation app. It's set on my phone as a reminder every morning at the time I set (7am) its a quick 5 minute mediation and its a great way to start my day. I'm a mom of two, ages 6 and 4, mornings are really hectic for me so I can at least dedicate 5 minutes to step away from the craziness and meditate. I feel so much calmer and in control of my day.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I use to use that app and loved it! I didnt know you could set a reminder with it thats so handy! And I love that you start your day every morning like this even with kids and a busy morning routine. Thanks for sharing!

[@Panda-no9jn]

This is super helpful! Since I started school the last couple weeks and I have been super duper buzzy. I have been going crazy. But 3 days ago I started saving about 20-15 minutes of my day for exercising. Everyone needs some time for themselves.sure gonna put some of these on my morning- night habits! 1 healthy thing I do is drink a liter of water daily before going to sleep and when waking up! Thanks

[@rosemaryoglu558]

Panda48 yes when i do i feeling happy and comfortable (( I agree ))

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Love that you're making time for exercising each day! I have a busy day today but Im going to try and take my own advise and get moving after lunch today ;) And yes water is soo essential! xo

[@ciliawillia9454]

Mine is to wake up thank God and think positive❣️great video ☺️

[@HealthNutNutrition]

love it xo and thank you!

[@AprilSixsmith]

I absolutely love this. With my recent job change, I am super busy and trying to keep my energy up.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

hope this video helps you out!

[@FrannyLuvsAll]

I really love these lifestyle/wellness videos. I could definitely use the inspiration. Sleep is always the toughest routine for me because my schedule varies so much for work. I have a hard time making myself go to bed! (hence watching this at 12am 😂)

[@HealthNutNutrition]

try reading it always puts me out!

[@PriyaPatel-sg2wx]

I m an early bird... and one healthy habit of mine is meditating for 1 hour in the morning. It really helps me to get start on a positive note for the day :) Ik it's basic but but trust me it really helps a lot :)))

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I want to start meditating in the mornings again! I need to start waking up early so I can get it in before Matt wakes up otherwise its hard to focus.

[@arwas6464]

The thing I love about you is that you aren't skinny as a stick unlike other fitness and health guides or you tubers and you are super realistic. I just found your channel and am already in love with it.

[@erikaramirez6558]

I can improve on my evening routine, but my morning routine always includes stretching & a full cup of water before I leave the house.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

love a good morning stretch!

[@MySunshine234]

Love it my first official adult youtube video I'm 25 and have been watching like younger college youtubers since I'm still in school. But I love this I needed a more adult person to look up to on youtube. Great job!

[@ioanam.9157]

Hey! I'm a morning person and in the past few months I tried to take on some healthy habits, because I realized they really help me with focusing more on what I do every day. So, two things that I try to keep in mind every day are to drink at least 6-7 glasses of water (I used to drink very little water every day), and eat at least 3-4 fruits or vegetables a day.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Thats amazing that you recognized that! Good for you :)

[@meghanats6381]

meditation about 5min daily helps me stay more focussed and productive

[@VivaLaDulceVida]

I loved this video! I’m definitely a early bird. One healthy habit that I try to do each day is get my body moving. Like you said, it’s such a good way to stay healthy and reduce stress. I try to get between 30-45 minutes of structured exercise every week day and on weekends I play it by ear .

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thank you!! I need to make sure to make time for exercise today since I know I have a busy day and I need to take my own advice ;)

[@cadencehadley4064]

i love the morning. and every morning i make myself a green smoothie

[@KatMay]

I need this video so much right now! 💖💖

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Awesome to hear Kat!

[@ashleymurphy1641]

I am actually looking into getting a new mattress & planned on going to MattressFirmn as they are close to were I live & have a large selection & price range. My healthy habit I do everyday is stay hydrated - I've also started drinking SleepyTime tea at night :)

[@HealthNutNutrition]

We were just there at the Buffalo location and found an amazing bamboo king bed that were waiting to come in to pick up :D sleepytime tea is the best! Did you watch my Fall night time routine that I did last year? I mention it!

[@ashleymurphy1641]

HealthNut Nutrition I haven't watched it but I will check it out - thanks!

[@heathermukai7820]

Love this! I need to fit exercise in my routine. Nursing school is crazy but I can figure out how to make it work :)

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thanks Heather! I can imgaine you have a busy schedule.. maybe try walking lunges in between classes or riding your bike to school? Not sure if thats possible for you.

[@amycrelin3473]

I just recently started being more purposeful in my evenings - making sure I get the things done in the evening that will make my mornings smoother. It has made such a difference in my morning stress level needing to get myself and my son ready for school! Question - could you give me a link or the brand of the pot you used to warm the water? Thanks!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I'm so happy to hear! I think a lot of people under estimate what they can get done in an evening :) And here is a link to the kettle i have: amzn.to/2wNO9yh

[@christinegonzalez7976]

Totally not the point of this video, but I love your lipstick shade!! What is it?

[@HealthNutNutrition]

haha thanks! It's from bite beauty called Sake :)

[@christinegonzalez7976]

Oh thanks so much for checking- yay!

[@cuteotaku1997]

Hi there! May I ask what lip colour you are wearing? It looks gorg!

[@84amward]

Can you link the sweater you are wearing in your video? I love it!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Its old but from Banana Republic Outlet :)

[@sonjung]

My healthy habit is to drink a glass of lemon water with chia seeds in the morning. I have been trying to go to the gym in the mornings but still a struggle!

[@shayshay7902]

Thank you, this is great! Question - the jars and silicone bags you link are always from the US amazon. It's so much more on the Canadian site. Do you actually buy your stuff from the US site? If not, can you share where you got them from? And link the Canadian places you buy from? Thanks so much! I really love your work and you give me so many tips and recipes!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I link US links because most of my audience is from the States but I buy the silicone bags from MEC or St.Lawerence Market if you're in Toronto. Thank you so much for the amazing feedback xo

[@Daniey89]

Before bed I always Tidy the living room so I don't have to worry about it in the morning and I also do my nightly skincare regime which I find relaxing and then read some if my book before going to sleep :) cool upload Nicole!!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

sounds amazing! Matt and I also try to wash up dishes and clean up a bit so we dont wake up to a mess! lol

[@GrazyGirl1999]

The only habit i do every single day is eating 24/7

[@krislynpylychaty7602]

[@masked6701]

[@sonammakhija9694]

[@katieseder7004]

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@dreamnight2905]

I had a bad cold for few days been in bed.. This video is great to start as soon i get better

[@HealthNutNutrition]

hope youre feeling better!

[@kestrelravensong6056]

I'm such an early bird! My big thing every morning is to have sole water! I prefer that in my morning routine and either lemon water or golden milk at night.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Water first thing in the morning is amazing :)

[@delijs]

Loved this video! I spot Estee's Bloom book too (:

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thank you! And yes just started reading it :)

[@CoffeewithChu]

I’m an early bird and I love reading to relax!!!

[@naturallyrachida9812]

I'm more of an early bird person. After I send the kids off to school, I like to go out for a jog. It's part of my early morning routine.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

that sounds amazing! I want to start jogging once the fall weather comes :)

[@MaverickBaking]

Some great tips here! I'm definitely an early bird, showering first thing helps me wake up straight away. Top tip is probably eating a decent breakfast, something yummy with a fruit or two in there! I really need to work on the sleep part though, being an early bird is fine when you aren't also going to bed after midnight every night haha, oops!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Morning showers are great! I even did a mini mask this morning and let it set while making my smoothie :)

[@kimberlyalvator9909]

I wake up at 6:00am on school days and once I turn my alarm off I spend 5 minutes without screen. After 5 minutes past I usually get up and make my bed right away than head to restroom. Once I get into restroom I usually get dress and do my thing and once I'm all done I put shoes on grab my bag and head downstairs for healthy breakfast ;)

[@msraerae91]

killing those burpees!! slay girl!

[@hehe1443]

Perfect timing of this video! This motivation was especially needed as the weather is starting to get cooler, and the morning laziness stronger. :P

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I feel ya!

[@saradavis4364]

hey Nikole, I have the daily 5 minute journal too! I often struggle with I am affirmations though, always writing the same thing. Tips?

[@saagutie]

Great hacks Nicole!! You've helped me a lot during the process of changing my routines and eating habits.. Thank you!! I feel much better now 😘

[@HealthNutNutrition]

so happy to hear thank you so much for sharing xo

[@mealthyrecipes]

We keep an ice cube tray full of frozen smoothies in the fridge. We just add a little bit of milk to them in a blender, and it's just like having a fresh smoothie

[@HealthNutNutrition]

amazing!

[@SandraFrancisca]

Never made warm lemon water. Need to try it tomorrow morning

[@HealthNutNutrition]

so nice to start your digestive system with :)

[@captainpancakes3918]

HealthNut Nutrition : Hi, does the acidic lemon bother those of us who suffer from gastritis ? :)

[@sinikarja2417]

how is your hair so shiny? 😍

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I use natural hair products, collagen and biotin which I think help :) I also try to air dry as much as possible.

[@emilylowe8416]

You’re so pretty, you remind of Polly from OITNB

[@xxveexxceexx]

Thanks for the tips! Did you recently go to KZbin full time? Are you no longer working your full time job?

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I went full time in Jan this year :)

[@erika8268]

I remember some time back you made a video on meals to bring to work and it looked like you worked in an office. In this video you stated you work from home. Can you please make a video elaborating more on this? I'm sorry if its a bit too personal but I'm interested and would like your input. Plus you look like you have a pretty awesome life lol. Again, i hope you don't mind. Please & thank You!

[@erumkhan3752]

I drink water every morning as soon as i wake up.🙈

[@purplekancable]

What happens if there's like a emergency phone call and u don't hear the phone. I suggest setting it on do not disturb and there's a setting that if the same person calls twice within 30 seconds it goes thru. It helped me a lot

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I like to minimize wifi waves so I put it on airplane mode but you could also do "do not disturb" as well.

[@purplekancable]

HealthNut Nutrition oh okay thanks for responding I'm definitely going to check it out. Also I love your videos.

[@camy92]

Hey Nikole, super duper helpful video right now!!! It's been a couple of weeks that I have been feeling overwhelmed by life and you really helped with that! I was wondering where do I get that online calendar you were talking about? Lots of love😘

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Im sorry to hear! Trust me I feel you and often get overwhelmed as well with everything on my plate but then just have to step away, reset, and gain a new perspective. I use Google Calendar and find it really helps relieve some stress off my plate.

[@user-ih5xd6dg5y]

arent this haks for everyone, not just for girls?

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Yes of course! Great point! I just happen to have mostly women watching my channel but these will work for everyone :D

[@HeatherColemanWEDiting]

what's the journal you write in every morning?

[@jillvalentine32]

Can you post a video how to substitute sweets in a diet and have energy?, Sweets keeps me from losing weight and living a busy life is another

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Would love to share some healthy substitutions video or healthy desserts :) You should check out my 3 healthy vegan desserts on my channel.. they are so good!

[@aayushnegi8301]

love your hacks.

[@nicolemazz7443]

I'm such an early bird! My fav healthy morning (and evening) habit it snuggling my kiddies and trying to take in as much of them as I can ! Nothing makes me happier

[@HealthNutNutrition]

[@Anyoneouthere1]

Great video! I love your sweater & your bracelet.... where can I get them? 😍

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thank you! Sign up for my newsletter for details coming soon as I will be selling the bracelets on my shop very soon! Sweater is from Banana Republic Outlet but from a lil while ago.

[@healthyeatingalways]

Can you pretty much freeze anything for your smoothie/smoothie bowl? I never really thought about doing that to save time, but it totally makes sense. Were these pre-made by you or a store bought? Do you put everything in the freezer and just add your liquid at the time your making your smoothie?

[@paigefrances7158]

Yes you can!! You can buy premade ones, but you can also just get freezer bags.

[@healthyeatingalways]

Thank you! I watched her previous video where she showed the bags that she uses which would be very helpful. I appreciate the response.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Watch my recent 4 Make Ahead Breakfast recipes video where I show how to make them :) They are so handy!
