These products might not necessarily be brand new, but they are new to me or something I'm super into! Hopefully you will also discover something new here that you might want to try and spice things up in your … [Read more...]

My Top Registry Picks + What to Expect Postpartum
It's been a while since I've had a newborn (a year to be exact) but don't get it twisted - I remember the sleepless nights, spit up and blow outs like it was yesterday. I have successfully kept a 1 year old and 3 year old alive and still going strong so I feel like I have some credibility when it comes to baby registry items ;) And I have been to so many baby showers in recent years/months/weeks … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
It's 5 o'clock somewhere, which can only mean one thing: cocktails. Cheers to making it through the week, ladies!

Below is another round of Q&A - Heather is tackling the fashion forward questions while Alix is … [Read more...]
Pre & Post Workout Nutrition Guide
Making smart choices about how you fuel your body before and after activity can have a significant impact on your performance and recovery. I’m always surprised when friends and clients tell me they do not eat anything before a workout or how long they wait to refuel after a workout.

My Winter Skincare Routine
I'm a little obsessed when it comes to skincare and finding the right routine. I'm always changing it up and adding new products to the lineup. But, I also try and stick to a single product for at least 4-6 weeks before switching it out as I believe that it takes at least a month to see results. However, I don't know about you but when I walk into a Sephora or browse past the makeup counters in … [Read more...]

Alix-If you could give somebody one piece of nutrition advice to change their eating habits, what would it be?

Mindful Snacking + Oatmeal Raisin Energy Bites Recipe
Today I’m talking about one of my favorite nutrition topics…snacking! This has kind of turned into a hot and misunderstood topic. There is nothing innately wrong about eating between meals; however, there is often a lot of guilt around snacking. In my opinion, when done right snacks help bridge the gap between meals and keep energy levels up. Too often I see clients going 6-7 hours between lunch … [Read more...]
My Potty Training Experience in 3 Days
Ok don't be fooled by the title. Yes, my son was basically potty trained in three days (except for naps and nighttime - different story, different blog post) but it was not without a lot of effort, setbacks, frustration and tears. And I'm not talking about Jackson. Potty training is hard work and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. And no, it's not like after day 3 I didn't have to do … [Read more...]
