Mother's Day is a few weeks away so it's time to start texting your husband links to your wish list...just me? ;) Kidding...obviously Mother's Day is about way more than getting gifts, flowers, cards, compliments on how amazing you are, etc. but that stuff is all nice right?! Since heading out to the spa for the day isn't an option this year I'm really focusing on ways to increase my self-care at … [Read more...]

Heather’s Mother’s Day Wish List
To be honest, the only thing I want to do this Mother's Day is to stay in a hotel and go to the spa for a massage, facial and manicure. Or belly up to a bar with my girlfriends and have a glass of champagne. Or brunch! Gosh, I'd take a simple meal with my fellow mom-tribe any day of the week! I know I am not alone in feeling this way.. we all want to go back to some sort of "normal" when it's safe … [Read more...]

What's the difference between almond milk on the shelf and those in the fridge? I usually just get refrigerated ones. The difference is packaging. Shelf-stable cartons use Tetra Pak packaging technology that keep out light and air, locking in nutrients. There is not usually a difference in the ingredients or nutritional value. It's important to read the ingredients which ever you prefer and … [Read more...]
Shelter in Place + Mindless Eating: Why Now is a Good Time to Reconnect With Food
Most of us are homebound most of the day right now. It's normal to be experiencing a range of emotions such as boredom, stress, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, etc. It's only natural that these feelings are impacting our behaviors, and more specifically our behavior with food.

Our Damn Good 4-Ingredient Margarita Recipe
This week's blog posts will be dedicated to alcohol because let's be honest, I think we're all probably drinking more than usual during quarantine ;) At least, we are.. don't judge. The weather in Seattle has been beautiful the last couple of weeks and the sunshine is inspiring us to make all the homemade cocktails and sit in the sun like we're on a beach somewhere. We've also both been pretty … [Read more...]

My question is for my husband so I understand this may not be in your wheel house. My husband has been using the same apricot face scrub (you know the one) since he was a blemish-ridden teenager. But I’ve read that these types of aggressive scrubs can do more harm than good since there are actual chunks of walnut shells in them! Is there a men’s facial scrub or cleanser that your husbands swear … [Read more...]
At Home Workout Essentials
I'm such a group fitness junkie and have been missing my in studio classes like crazy! Thank god I got my Peloton bike right when I did because I might be going a little crazy right now. I'm able to get my cardio in on the bike (and lots and lots of walking!) but I've also been using the Peloton and SWEAT app for HIIT, yoga, and strength training. So today, I thought it might be helpful if I did … [Read more...]
10 Products I’m Loving Right Now
Mascara I recently came across this mascara after talking to my girlfriends in California and the majority of them have converted to this one not only because it gives you long, luscious lashes but it has growth serum already IN it. I am linking my favorite lash serum below that is INSANE but it's expensive so this mascara is a two in one product.. so while still on the pricier side for … [Read more...]

My blow dryer just died and I'm wondering if you have any recommendations on a good, but affordable hair dryer? Alix has used the T3 for years (currently on sale) and loves it.. she has a lot more hair than me (Heather) so using a higher end blow dryer has been beneficial for her and gets her hair dry faster. I, on the other hand, just use the Revlon one from Target because my hair dries fast … [Read more...]
