Hello, my name is Carissa! I have been married to my favorite guy for the past 2 and a half years. We have a 14 month old daughter who is seriously the sweetest and funniest little human I know. I will graduate this April with a Bachelors degree in Exercise and Wellness. I am on a personal journey to help improve the health and wellness of my little family. I am currently working to replace items in my home with non-toxic affordable alternatives, find a workout routine, and learn to cook healthy recipes on a budget. As I have researched healthier living lifestyles I have had my eyes opened to the costs of living a healthier life. I want to share this journey so other people can realize that it is possible to make better choices without spending a fortune. After having a baby a little over a year ago I have become much more passionate about researching the food and products that we use, and have realized that there are a lot of things I am currently doing that I would like to change. I do not claim to be an expert on the topics I will be writing about, but am choosing to share the things that we discover on this journey so others can benefit from them, and so I can document what works for us. This is going to be a journey that takes time, but I am excited to start and to share along the way. I have chosen the name “Well Balanced” because making lifestyle changes is overwhelming and does not happen over night, and I want to have a well balanced wellness journey by improving the things that I can control in my life without freaking out about the things that I cannot.
