Denim & Boots Country Concert Outfit Ideas You’ll Actually Wear Again There’s nothing better than live music — especially a good country concert. But figuring out what to wear can be tricky, especially if you’re over 40 and want to look stylish without feeling like you’re trying too hard. This is where my go-to combo comes in: classic denim + boots . It’s comfortable, timeless, and perfect for dancing the night away — and the best part? Every piece I’m sharing below is an affordable Amazon find you can wear well beyond the concert. Links all listed below... Why Denim + Boots Work Every Time Comfort: You’ll be standing, walking, and dancing. A great pair of jeans + boots = zero worries. Timeless: This combo works for Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, or your local county fair. Repeatable: You can mix and match these pieces for casual Fridays, football games, and girls’ nights. My Country Concert Picks Here are the exact pieces I’d wear — all from Amazon, so you can g...

It's been a while since I've posted. We've been busy getting three kids through High School and College. I thought this would be the perfect time to share some of the things that have worked for us over the years as we move our daughter into her first post-grad apartment. When my daughter started college, I did what most moms do: I scrolled through Pinterest, searched dorm room boards, and filled carts with everything from command hooks to mini ottomans. Some of it worked. Some of it just cluttered the room and never got used. Now that she’s living in her first apartment, there are a handful of things she's  still using,  and I honestly wish we’d just bought those from the start. Rolling Storage Cart Used daily as a food stand in the dorm. Now it lives in the bathroom with hair tools, skincare, and makeup. Cozy Blanket A girl can't have enough blankets, however, this one has stood the test of time and something that she uses.

Relationships. Community. Family. What do those words mean to you? On a scale of 1-10 how would you score your relationships with your family, your community, those you surround yourself with? More importantly, how would you score the relationship with yourself? So often I find myself questioning, am I good enough at this task, could I do better, am I working hard enough to strive for excellence every day? It can feel overwhelming at times. There is so much to get done, at work, at home, with family. That balance is like a seesaw. But when you surround yourself with a community of people to have deep conversations and build relationships with it is then that you see your true worth. Through the support you offer to them or the support they offer you. Just time spent with one another can be enough. Take the time to enjoy those around you. Smile. Be present. Listen.

Hi Friend - follow me on Instagram: @reneekhansen Gut Health A buzz word? A popular fad? What does gut health mean to you? I’ve been listening to podcasts, reading books and educating myself on gut health for almost two years. And NOT because it’s a “fad.” But because gut health relates to other health issues. Like fatigue, brain fog, better sleep, helps with inflammation and more. Especially if you suffer from any kind of intestinal pain or 💩 problems. It’s your gut you need to heal. Two years ago I went to the doctor for some issues and they wanted to run test after test, put me on medication, etc. that’s when I started researching. Thats when  @chalenejohnson  started to talk about it more too! I’ve had one doctor. ONE. Who brought up the term gut health to me, without my prompting, and finally it started to click. I’m beyond excited to start this book, read about her research and science based facts, and find what works for ME.  #131method   #131methodboo...

January 2018 I told myself I was not going to purchase any books. But rather, use the library. Almost 18 months later I’m still regularly going to the library. I’ve saved over $70 and am supporting our local library and also not accumulating books that collect dust. I never used to consider myself a reader. In 3rd grade my teacher put me in the “lower reading” group. I struggled with speed and comprehension. From then on I labeled MYSELF as a bad reader. It has always been in my head that this is something I’m not good at. Only because ONE person defined a weakness or development area of mine. Did I stop reading because of this label? No. Even though this label has allowed me to define myself as a “slow reader” or “bad reader” even until now. I’m still a slow reader, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying a good book, relaxing, sitting and stopping to read and rest. Graduating from high school, college and maintaining a successful career. Just because someone once put me in a “group” o...

Hey friend - follow me on Instagram: @reneekhansen Face your fears: This week I walked into a meeting I was extremely nervous for. It’s one of those moments where you want to use every excuse in the book to find a way to NOT go. As I was driving to this meeting I was listening to a podcast that talked about finding your greatness. And how you get better is by going through those hard, challenging, difficult moments over and over and over again. Like practice. Repeat it, so you get better. How is it that in the right moments message like this help you? It was the right timing to pump me up for this meeting. In order to find your greatness go through the challenge. Trudge forward so that greatness follows you! 

All the negative doubt, comments you have about yourself can create a dark place. I relate it to a piece of charcoal, but what does charcoal do when you light it on FIRE? It GLOWS 🌟 Take all that doubt and light it up 💡 let it shine, it will come back to you. 💫

All of my 20+ years of fitness preparation has lead to this moment.  Two years ago I taught my first fitness class. Never had I taken a spin class nor had I exercised on a stationary bike.  But over the course of two years I have redefined the term comfort zone. Breaking barriers on the bike, in life. Campus Cycle i s more than a spin studio. It’s a place that gives me a platform to share, motivate, elevate, and inspire others to take a leap, try something new and grow.  I’ve gained new friends because the people behind the studio, the owners, coaches, interns and of course the riders make this place what it is. It is more than a spin studio, much more. Come and see for yourself, you might redefine your comfort zone too.

What is holding you back? Get started and do it already! Get started and do it already! I was debating whether I should go live here or not, because it’s scary. I’m talking to my phone held out in front of me along the riverwalk and people are walking by. I thought, you know what? This prevents people too front getting started; they just have fear and a bunch of negative self-talk going through their heads. I thought okay, if I’m going to tell people to start getting started with things and they might be afraid of it, why don’t I just go ahead and do this. There may be people walking by looking at me funny because I’m holding my phone out in front of me literally on the riverwalk that is open to the public where people are walking by. Sometimes we just need to get started and that’s the hardest thing for some people. It’s hard for me to push LIVE, it’s hard to push the button to go live and start talking to you. Sometimes you just have to do it and f...

Put doubts aside. Stop questioning everything you are doing and keep moving forward. Are you a doubter? Do you doubt everything? do you doubt everybody? Do you doubt that I’m speaking to you about some inpriations goals and needs and information? Do you always doubt people? Do you doubt yourself? I’m not talking about being pessimistic. I’ll tell you today, I was working on projects and I doubted that I could get them finished. It was hard to move forward because I was working on something that was tedious, and I didn’t want keep continuing I wanted to quit. I was doubting myself that I could actually finish. I feel some people grow up that way, that parents don’t think that their child isn’t going to complete something so the parent will do it for them. They are doubting the fact that their child or themselves can actually complete something or do it or finish it. So are you a doubter? Do you doubt other people? Do you think you can’t complete some...

What would you tell your 22 year old self? I'm here to share with you what I would tell my 22 year old self. View my video over on Facebook: Renee Hansen Coaching or click below to view video. I'm Renee Hansen, I'm a wife, a mom of 3 kids with very busy full-throttle schedules, i work full-time outside the home and I hvae very little time to myself and I have figured out some ways to help organize my schedule. What would you tell yourself that you know now, that you wish you knew then? Fitness & Nutrition: I would tell myself first to focus on your fitness. Keep it up, you love it, it helps your stress. But, when you turn 32 and 37 you are going to need to focus on your nutrition. People keep telling you about nutrition and you wish you wouldn't have known more about nutrition when you were having some stomach problems. Get Your Schedule Organized: Next, if you think you are busy now, HA! you will get even more busy with three kids in...
