Realty with Makaila E.

 Whew! What a week it has been, we're finally in the homestretch. It's been really busy, but also really productive. I try my best to keep my jobs separate from one another, but sometimes you can't predict how your days go. This week I was doing anything and everything. I've been trying to hold myself more accountable and the way I've been doing that is through using a planner. Not only does it keep me on my toes, it also helps by making my days less hectic. There's a lot of ideas flowing and gears turning, and my planner is the reason as to why my great ideas can keep coming! ⚙️💡 Monday's and Tuesday's consist of working my other job and getting a workout in after my shift. I can conveniently change into my workout clothes as soon as I'm off the clock. So I spend most of my time there. Wednesday's and Friday's are my dedicated office days. I like to separate my work and focus on solely real estate. By separating my days, I can have more of ...

Life - it can get crazy sometimes and time can getter the better of you. I try to stay organized when I can, but even I have my moments where I lose track of time management. Know that you're not alone, which is why I wanted to reassure you to have your shortcuts when necessary to bring you back on track. 🛤️⏰ One of the ways I take shortcuts is through my meals. Sometimes I don't have the availability to meal prep the way I want to and I need to eat, so I have my shortcut; microwaveable meals. Now before you go all weird on me and say that they're gross or unhealthy, you just need to be on the lookout for the right one.  I have this meal from Aldi that I love to use! I might be bias, but Aldi really has some hidden gems. It has whole grains, lots of protein, and actually tastes pretty good. I like to add spicy sweet chili quest chips (my absolute fav) for the extra crunch and added protein. Yesterday, this was an absolute lifesaver for me since I had to work my other job. ...

 Hi Guys! Happy Wednesday, hope everyone is doing well.  I was able to be a part of a super cool opportunity; Today our office held a sales meeting with D.R. Horton at Ridgley's Reserve. The site we visited was in Joppa which is located in Harford County Maryland. Our hosts were kind enough to serve us brunch, and I may or may not have had a mimosa.🤭🥂 I was able to get a glimpse into their model homes, both detached homes and townhouses. I think the staging was done really well, especially in the townhome. I believe their homes are really great for first-time home buyers. They build fairly quickly, so you could get in there pretty fast.  I think it was a lovely neighborhood; plenty of space to take walks. They actually had a on-site playground which I loved for the sake of the kiddos. I would really like to film some video tours of the homes; The builders have extended their arms wide open for an invitation to do so. Stay tuned for my follow-up there as I'm really excit...

 Meal prepping is an absolute must for me. Usually I make two meals at once; One for lunch and one for dinner, but lately it's been hard to make time to do so. Right now I've been making my meals as needed to get through the week. 😂 I know one thing is for certain, if I'm meal prepping, taco bowls will always be in my rotation. These are so good, so filling, and so easy to make! You really only need a ground meat of your choice, rice, veggies, and what ever toppings suit your fancy. 🌮🥣 I start by pan-frying my veggies, making sure they're thawed out enough before I put my meat in. Now you can totally prep your own veggies if you prefer them fresh, me however, I'm all about convenience so I buy a frozen bag of them. Same thing with the rice; If you prefer to cook it, that's totally okay! I don't notice a difference in taste and it's a lot quicker in my opinion.  Once my veggies are thawed, I put in my ground meat of choice. As I've mentioned before...

Despite my days being hectic, I find ways to fuel my body and keep myself going. This happened to be yesterday's selection of goodies and I thought to myself, what better way to introduce myself than to give you a list of my favorites! I've been loving these protein pretzels from my other job recently, they just came out with chili lime and cinnamon bun flavors! SOO yummy. Fun fact about me, I've lost over 75 lbs in the span of a year and a half. Part of the way that I did this was eating more mindfully. 🍋‍🟩🌶️ Don't deprive yourself from the things you love, instead eat with the intention of reducing your sugar, increasing your protein, and substitute what you can. I love some of the sauces I eat too much to let them go, and that's totally okay! I still allow them in what I eat and I substitute what I can in exchange.  I'm an energy drink girly, through and through. I love a good caffeinated push as it's an absolute essential when working out. I don't...
