| top | leggings | hat | I hate the word detox, so I’m not going to call it that. We have a liver that is very capable of doing the work for us, so no need to take drastic dietary measures to “detox” because it’s BS. However, you can most definitely experiment with food and figure out what works best for you and also reset your taste buds. As you know I'm a non-diet dietitian, so let me … [Read more...]

Throw in some chocolate covered strawberries and who KNOWS what could … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
I am thinking about (finally) putting my toddler in daycare and I need your recommendations. I want to know which program is best (full time vs. part time?) Alix: Since I'm home and Quinn still naps around 1pm a part time program works really well for us. She turned 2 last August (2-2.5 is the minimum age for a lot of the little "school" programs around us) and I had her signed up t start in … [Read more...]
Girls Weekend Refresh + Mom Guilt
| jeans | shoes | (similar) sweater | I'm writing this post on Sunday afternoon as I sit at the airport wine bar with a 2 hour flight delay and I'm reflecting on the past 3.5 days being kid free. TBH, I was really looking forward to getting home to see Quinn before bed time and it doesn't look like that will be happening, but to be really honest I'm going to enjoy these last few "me" moments … [Read more...]
My “Routine” with a Newborn
beanie | sweater | leggings | boots with da fur This is kind of an oxymoron if you ask me and why I put routine in quotations.. because I don't think anyone has a perfect regimen with a brand new baby. It's quite the opposite, really. Those first few weeks, your world is rocked and trying to gain any sort of control of the situation will put your anxiety into HIGH GEAR. Kind of like what Alix … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
Heather: Have you lost all of your baby weight and if not, what are you doing to slim down? OMGGGGODDDDDD no! I do know that I have about 17-20 lbs to go before I am back to my pre-baby weight but I am not focusing on the scale or a number.. because it doesn't matter. If my jeans and jackets fit, then I know I am back.. and they don't right now. I was in the best shape of my life one year ago … [Read more...]
My Experience With Postpartum Anxiety
I've wanted to write a post about my experience with postpartum anxiety for a while now and these past few weeks my anxiety has been through the roof, so figured it was time to talk about it! Quinn has typically been a good sleeper, but we've had a few set backs since she's been sick on and off the past several weeks AND we said bye bye to the paci... hello sleep regression! She's been … [Read more...]
One Year Down
pullovers | leggings | boots It's our anniversary! We launched The Champagne Theory one year ago and it has hands down been one of the best decisions we've made creating this little space. No, we don't have thousands of followers and no, we aren't making money but that is NOT why we did this... although, yeah it would be nice to make a little profit ;) one day.. The reason we started our … [Read more...]

What are the best sugar alternatives for diabetics? When it comes to managing diabetes it's a must to decrease sugar (glucose) intake in order to manage blood sugars. I wrote up a whole post here about sugar alternatives and reviewed the "pros" and "cons" of each so that might be a helpful post to review. Since the goal is to reduce sugar intake (doesn't matter the source of added sugar … [Read more...]
Our Running Gear Guide
Heather and I both set the goal to train and run a half-marathon in 2019. I ran my first half-marathon last year and honestly while training for it I didn't think I would do another. I dreaded my long runs, but got such a runner's high afterwards that made it worth it. I felt so damn accomplished after my race last year I can see how people get hooked. Anyways, since Heather and I both … [Read more...]
