Suffering from headaches? I'm sharing five changes I've implemented in our house, that have made a HUGE difference.  These how to get rid of headaches tips will change your LIFE!

If you follow me on Instagram Stories, then you know I've been talking a lot about How to Get Rid of Headaches.  I'm not sure if it's getting older, or mom life, or work life, or all of the above……while I've always struggled with getting headaches, I feel like lately they've been much more frequent.  When I shared THIS article on Instagram, you guys loved the tips and tricks for how to get rid of headaches.  I wanted to share what has worked for me, and a few new things I'm trying.

Spoiler, one of the biggest issues I've had? I'm VERY sensitive to scents and smells.  Heavy perfumes, or products with a ton of chemicals tend to cause headaches for me.  So finding products I like to use in our home has been a bit of a challenge.  I'm excited to share, I've finally found an air freshener I love…..that doesn't have any of those overpowering scents or aerosols that I'm trying to avoid.

How to Get Rid of Headaches

Stay Hydrated: I know, I know.  It's very important to drink enough water and I'm terrible at this.  But I'm making an effort, and it IS making a difference.  I bought a cute new water bottle, and I'm adding lemon to my water so that it tastes better.

Caffeine Intake: I really like coffee.  And soda.  But the truth is, I probably drink WAY too much.  How do I know? Because if I don't drink my usual amount…..I get a terrible headache.  I'm slowly trying to lessen my caffeine intake.  Nothing over the top, but I'm replacing my afternoon coffee with decaf.  My long term goal? Two caffeinated drinks a day.  That's doable right?Want to know how to get rid of headaches? These tips will change your LIFE!

Sleep: I wish I could blame Lydia for this one, but she's a pretty consistent sleeper at this point.  Honestly? It's just a bad habit at this point.  I stay up later than I should watching random tv shows and reading.  For the last week, I've implemented a bedtime for myself.  No more TV and no more reading.  And that extra 30 minutes or so of sleep? Does seem to be helping!

Scents:  I've always been sensitive to scents.  Strong smells and heavy chemicals give me headaches.  But here's the problem.  So do the smells of smoke or leftover food / cooking smells.  Now we have an open floor plan……so those cooking smells don't just stay in the kitchen, they take over our family room and playroom area.  And drive me CRAZY!  Enter my new find, Febreze ONE.  Febreze ONE fabric and air mist is a groundbreaking product that contains no aerosols, no dyes and no heavy perfumes.  It has the odor elimination power that totally gets rid of those cooking smells that bother me, without the harsh ingredients that I don't want around me (or my daughter).  Bonus? The Bamboo scent (my favorite) also has been shown to have calming properties!  I love that it leaves the air in our home refreshed and clean, without causing headaches that I usually get from those heavy perfumes or other overpowering aerosol products.  If you're sensitive to smells, this is for YOU!

Stress: Headaches cause stress and stress causes headaches.  The best thing to do? Put regular practices in place that help combat stress.  For me? It's exercise.  I'm making a huge effort to work out 4-5 days a week.  And the difference? HUGE.  That same calm I get from the Bamboo Febreze ONE? I get from my exercise routine (gotta love that ONE state of mind they encourage)!

    I stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water and I try not to stress or worry. It does help.

    When I get a headache I normally have to turn off the lights and sleep it off. But, I try to destress and stay hydrated to keep from getting them.

    When I do get a headache, which happens sometimes no matter what I do to try and prevent it, I stand under a hot shower and keep the lights off.

🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀ ⠀ Thi 🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀⠀This weekend we flew to Sacramento and then road tripped north to see my family up in the mountains.  It was so much fun to spend time together, and it reminded me….we are ALL one of these people on a toad trip.⠀⠀Bonus points to the VERY nice road trip vehicle we had…..the team at @MazdaUSA lent us a 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus and it was AMAZING (it even had a wireless charging dock for our phones). It made my snack stops even better (yup, we tried Dutch Bros for the first time and OMG we need them to expand to more Southern California locations ASAP).⠀⠀So, which are person are YOU on a road trip? ⠀⠀#familytravel #drivemazda
….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
