How do you portion control? If my husband cooks I can't stop and I go back for seconds/thirds. I wrote a post a while back about mindful/intuitive eating that might be helpful. If you were my client I would look over your food records and see if you've eaten enough earlier in the day. If you've skimped calorically or did not have adequate protein and fat, you're likely going into your dinner … [Read more...]

If you were to have your wedding today, what would you do the same and what, if anything, would you change?! Beginning planning and need all the advice. Heather: I’m not sure I’d change anything about my wedding! My husband and I got married in the summer down in Newport Beach (close to where I’m from) and it was less than 125 people.

Alix can you review how you're liking Athletic Greens and Nutrafol? I've been taking AG for a little over a month now and really like it. I mix one scoop in about 16oz of water + fresh lemon every morning on an empty stomach and before my coffee. The biggest things I've noticed so far is my gut health and energy in the morning. It is pricey, but I no longer buy my probiotic which was really … [Read more...]

I wanted to ask your opinion on Olipop. I love them and wondering if they are too good to be true. They're labeled as a prebiotic which isn't something I've seen much. Is it hype? Personally it gives me a stomach ache. I tried to like it especially when pregnant for a fun drink, but I couldn't get into it. Compared to soda (or even kombucha) it's a good alternative because it's low in … [Read more...]

Cheers to Alix and her beautiful new home! Do you use a silk pillowcase and if so, which one? What are the benefits? We both do! Slip makes the most popular one but it’s pricey. You can find silk pillowcases almost anywhere these days.. Home Goods or Amazon are great options.

Heather I love the antiques you're adding to your house. Are there any IG accounts you get your inspo from? Thank you! Yes..

My most favorite is Steve Cordony because his countryside home is just bananas and the antiques in his house … [Read more...]

Have you tried the Elta MD tinted sunscreen for everyday? Or just the regular one? Curious if the tinted is just as good! Yes I just purchased it and it's the perfect SPF for the winter months when we are feeling pasty and washed out! It adds a little tint and I don't need anything else on my skin for everyday errands. The reason I love Elta MD SPF is because it is also a great makeup primer. … [Read more...]

I need some cute baskets to hold pillows/blankets but nothing too expensive. Where do you get yours? Target or Home Goods, girl. Always. I typically grab ones like these! Heather - I love your Thanksgiving tablescape. What glassware, plates, decor do you use? All of my fine china and glassware was gifted for our wedding 10 years ago but it is my favorite and we use it all the time. My … [Read more...]

I am new to the area (Gig Harbor) and a new mom. My baby just turned three months. My husband wants to take a small trip within driving distance in mid December when the baby will be about 4.5 months old. Are there any resorts you would recommend as moms that are baby friendly? Or areas that would be good to do an Air BNB? I really don’t want to travel more than two hours. I feel like we’ll just … [Read more...]
