- 8 oz glass bottle/jar - 6–8 whole vanilla beans (about 1 oz by weight) - 8 oz (1 cup) 80-proof vodka or bourbon — enough to fully submerge the beans Split each vanilla bean lengthwise to expose the seeds, place them in the bottle, and cover completely with vodka. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place, giving it a shake every week or two. You can begin using it after about 8 weeks, but 6–12 months gives you a much richer vanilla extract. You can leave the beans in indefinitely and top it off with vodka as you use it. 🤩 Fun Fact: Beaver Anal secretions are used to make artificial vanilla flavoring and it can legally be called “natural flavoring.” 🦫 🤯 The more you know…

Out here getting some steps since I was on the floor with my grandson most of the day. Sad. Winters coming. I walked outside, it's windy and cold 59 degrees, brrr. And getting dark.

TAKING ACTION: ✅Comment DONE after you complete your strength workout today and/or get your steps in! Sweaty selfie in the comments below (or it didn’t happen 😉 )! We’re just over one week into our STEPtember challenge! On Monday, we discussed some of the brain benefits of walking/getting your steps in, but there’s another reason we’re hitting the pavement this month as well—and that’s your heart health! ❤️ Hopefully, you are participating in our walking challenges, as they’re strategically planned to help you get your steps in and improve your cardiovascular health. On Monday, you learned that walking is beneficial for brain health. One reason why is that having good cardiovascular health is believed to lead to better brain health. According to the American Brain Foundation, “Heart health is directly related to brain health. Your brain depends on a healthy supply of blood, which your heart pumps through your circulatory system. Following sound medical advice for maintaining good circulatory health will help to reduce your risk of stroke and dementia.” The cool thing is that the opposite is also believed to be true. Research indicates that a positive mindset can also lead to better heart health. It’s almost like the two go hand in hand…go figure…😉 As you’re getting your steps in this month, remember—you’re improving both your cardiovascular health and your mindset/brain health—and so much more! 👟
