#RogersGetaway Weekend: Part 2

The amazing people with the Rogers, AR CVB paid for my entire trip; however, all opinions and recommendations are my own!

#RogersGetaway Weekend: Part 2 || HeathersDish.comSo here we are, finally getting around to Day 2 of my amazing weekend in Rogers, Arkansas!  If you missed the first post, be sure to check it out here.  Y’all, I really cannot tell you how much I loved this little town.  Northwest Arkansas is gorgeous and fun in and of itself, but Rogers is such a great little treasure in the middle of it all!

 

The morning of the second day was rainy, so we went shopping at Pinnacle Hills Promenade for a little bit while the rain died down.  This is such a great place, and sadly Little Rock really has nothing like it.  There’s just so much all in the same place; Little Rock has a version of the Promenade, but it’s nothing like the one in Rogers.  I could have spent all day there!

 

After our little shopping excursion we headed off to downtown Rogers to visit the Daisy Air Gun Museum.

To be totally honest I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this part of the weekend.  Not that I have anything against BB guns, I just didn’t know what to expect since I don’t have a lot of experience in the gun world.

 

You guys.  This museum is FANTASTIC, and Daisy has such a cool history.  I think the thing that really got me was the level of the stories being told.  It wasn’t just facts and figures and such, but really deeply personal stories from people all over the world.  I left the museum feeling really and truly connected to the company, even though I think I have shot a BB gun twice in my life.

 

AND…I was the first person visiting the museum from my hometown!  YAY LUBBOCK! 🙂

After the Daisy museum we walked across the street to Heirloom Food + Gifts for a fantastic lunch.  We had a bunch of homemade spreads, cheeses, a cucumber salad that I fell totally in love with, lavender-vanilla bean cream soda (YES), and lemon curd that almost brought myself and Kyran to tears.

 

The food was just SO good you guys, and I was so impressed with the passion behind it all.  Just listening to the food descriptions and inspiration made me really excited to create my own versions of the food we had!

The next stop was War Eagle Mill, which was really fun for me as well.  I love being in places where really unique food is made; especially when it’s rich in history.  All of their products are stone-ground using the power of the War Eagle River, and they’re all organic, natural and non-GMO as well.

We got to tour the mill and see how it all works, then were treated to pecan pie cobbler and ice cream upstairs.  Y’all.  I cannot tell you how incredible that cobbler was – I am STILL dreaming about it even now!

I have a final post coming soon about the rest of our 2nd day, details from the 3rd day, and a fantastic giveaway for you guys as well!  I hope you’ll stay tuned – it won’t disappoint!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
