We are leaving fasted workouts behind in 2025. No matter what time you workout it’s important that you’re properly fueled beforehand. I typically workout between 5-6am during the week and while I’m not very hungry at this time, I make myself have something. A good rule of thumbs when trying to figure out what to eat before a workout is this: cardio (60-90 minutes): 30 grams carbohydrates + … [Read more...]

Weekend Snaps
I headed down to Orange County this past weekend to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays and it’s one of those weekends that I soon won’t forget. From top to bottom, it was perfect and so good for the soul. Traveling home to OC is something I never take for granted anymore. I soak up every waking moment, head to the water as quickly as I can, hit up all my favorite spots, and spend time with … [Read more...]

Do you have a favorite pair of winter gloves (not for skiing)? These for a splurge worthy pair and these as a budget friendlier option.

For example, I … [Read more...]

I truly love testing out new products when I see them on my social feeds or when I hear something getting a lot of praise. I like it even more when it’s budget friendly. There are such high quality products on the market that you can get at your local drug store and while I do believe that medical grade skincare is effective and worth the investment, I think adding in drug store products is … [Read more...]

Can you link the monogram shirt you posted on stories earlier this week? I got this after seeing one of my mom friends in it at a birthday party and I had to have it.. I love a monogram detail. A little on the pricier side but it’s a high quality, classic shirt I’ll wear for years to come. A monogrammed light wash denim shirt never goes out of style in my opinion. I need a new pair of … [Read more...]

Anyways, I’ve had my mattress topper for quite some time and have shared before but in December, I slowed down a ton over winter break and spent a lot of time reading in my comfy space. It reminded me that I needed to do the same for my kid’s beds and recently … [Read more...]
25 Things I Learned in 2025
I know we are seeing everyone posting 2025 recaps, but I think reflecting on the past 365 days is important for growth. Looking back and taking inventory and what went well and what was hard...what worked and what did not. Personally, it was a year of adventure and travel for our family, but also had its challenges. We went skiing in Sun Valley, took the girls to Disneyland for the first … [Read more...]
How I Am Showing Up For Myself in 2026
Happy 2026! It’s the time of year when we reflect on our last 365 days and set new goals and intentions for the year ahead.

I wrote a pretty extensive list of how I wanted to show up for myself last summer here and so many of these rituals are still things I practice today to fuel my mind … [Read more...]
