Hello, I'm Vanessa

I once had someone tell me they did not like my purple hair, said it was for the birds. My nickname is Birdie. Sometimes, The Bird. I am a Christ-follower, wife, mother, grandmother, business owner, city slicker, purple lover, and health nut. Learn more about me.

Let's Be Friends

Facebook is my jam. It's where I connect with family, friends, and followers. And while I may not be a millennial, I can Instagram with the best of them. I love sharing my daily life, healthy lifestyle tips, favorite finds, and fun shenanigans via Instastories.

FLYING TRAPEZE...”Do one thing every day that scares you.” Surely this counts for a year of fear, because this scared the shizzz out of me!!! My final swing from our 90 minute lesson today at Twin Cities Trapeze. ???? #vrrlive #sundayfunday P.S. I apologize for the butt shot climbing the ladder. Tom Nikkola was recording. Go figure. ????

Essential Oil Bottles

I had these custom 5-ml essential oil bottles with amethyst gemstone roll-ons made to give as gifts to our HLWEO team members. The minimum order size was more than I needed, so I'm selling the overstock in my HLHT Shop.

Amazon Affiliate

In January 2019, I took Adsense ads off Healthy Living How To. The biggest reason being it provides for a more pleasant reader experience. However, I am an Amazon Associate and earn a small commission when you shop using my affiliate links.

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
