My husband and I love these banana oat pancakes! We’re all out here trying to be healthy BUT… when you take the pancake mix out of pancakes, the results can get a bit questionable. But these are delicious and guilt-free!
MaShelle, how can I lose weight fast?? I get this question all the time from my clients and even people on the street. There’s no magic pill for weight loss, but there is a simple science: calories in vs. calories out. It’s called the calorie deficit.
| Calculate your daily metabolic rate |

How the Calorie Deficit Works
Losing weight essentially boils down to how many calories you take in vs. how many calories you burn with daily activities and exercise.
There are 3,500 calories in a pound. To lose 1 pound a week, you need a deficit of 500 calories per day, by either eating 500 fewer calories or burning 500 calories through exercise. But first you need to calculate how many calories your body needs a day to maintain your current weight. Your 500 daily calorie deficit is based on that number.

We think we’ll remember from one day to the next what we ate. And we generally do for major meals. But food journaling is the only precise way to track your calorie intake.
A cookie here and a piece of candy there gets lost in the shuffle. Those empty calories add up quickly and can prevent you from reaching your weight loss goals. I’m most successful with weight loss when I use a food journal to track my calorie and macronutrient intake.

From Corporate to Content Creator… 💻✨
When I became a full-time content creator, I quickly realized I needed a more efficient workflow. I needed to spend less time managing content and more time creating it.
These three apps were the biggest game changer for me.
🤎 Metricool – My command center for scheduling content, tracking analytics, and managing multiple platforms in one place.
🤎 CapCut – My go-to for editing Reels, TikToks, and almost all my short-form videos.
🤎 ChatGPT – My business assistant for content ideas, scripts, captions, emails, and brainstorming.
💬 Comment “TOOLS” and I’ll send you my Creator Tools guide with:
✨ My affiliate sign-up links for Metricool and LTK
✨ My favorite creator gear (laptop, mic, lighting, tripod & more)
✨ My complete Creator Tools collection

Happy 57th Birthday to me! 🥂✨🤍
Today I’m celebrating another year of grace, growth, and God’s faithfulness.
This outfit has been in my closet for years, and it reminded me of something…
Style isn’t about buying something new every week. It’s about building a wardrobe you love so much that you’ll reach for it again and again.
The best pieces never go out of style.
Here’s to embracing every season with confidence, gratitude, and just a little Rich Auntie energy. 💜
Cheers to 57! 🥂✨

POV: The vacation starts at the airport. 🥂✈️✨
Good food, a mimosa, and zero gate stress before takeoff.

The polished reel is cute… but THIS is what really happens in between takes. 😂💃🏾
Singing, dancing, hyping myself up, fixing my hair for the 37th time, and pretending my living room is a runway.
Creating content by yourself means being the model, stylist, creative director, camera operator, and personal hype woman all at once. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🤎✨
The footage y’all never see. 🤭. Fit details in my LTK. Comment SHOP for the link or tap here https://liketk.it/6hYiY
