TGIF! Did this week seem really long to anyone else? While Heather is busy living it up in NYC and Boston this weekend (her food, shopping, and champs insta stories are giving me serious FOMO) I'll be holding down the fort in Seattle. Good news though..the weather in Seattle is looking quite promising...hello sunshine + low 60's (never thought I'd be so excited for low 60's). I'll cheers to … [Read more...]
Sugar Talk Part I: Natural Sugar vs Added Sugar
Sugar seems to be at the root of all that is wrong in the health world these days…obesity, diabetes, cancer, acne, and maybe even why your kiddo is acting like a circus animal. My intention is to never demonize a food or food group because food is not inherently “good” or “bad” it’s just food. Black and white thinking about food or nutrients is dangerous. I've worked with many clients around … [Read more...]
Currently Craving
You thought I was talking about food, didn't you? I'll leave that up to Alix. For me - it's all about the clothes. I don't know about you guys but I feel like it's such a weird time in the stores. The in between season thing is a real drag and while I want to add some pieces to my wardrobe for spring, I can't find anything in the actual stores. Enter online shopping - what a dream. Revolve and … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
Bring on the weekend! We're busy bees over here - Alix is heading to OC for a wedding and I'm throwing Jackson a 3rd birthday party and entertaining out of town guests. After all of that, my husband and I are jetting off to NYC and Boston sans kids so I'll be busy organizing & packing. We have a pretty packed itinerary but send me any "musts" for the city - restaurants, museums, parks, shows? … [Read more...]
February Grocery Store Finds
It is the last week of February which means we are SO close to Spring and hopefully some warmer temps! At the end of every month I plan to roundup my favorite grocery store finds. 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! We hope you have something fun planned but if not, just remember to take some time for yourself. For us, that means roaming the Target aisles solo. Is there anything better? Nope. 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. There is a lot of confusion and misinformation about how to properly fuel an active body, so l want to simplify it … [Read more...]
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...]
Happy Hour
We made it through another week (insert cheers emoji here)! Time for another round of Q&A so get in your comfies, grab a glass and join us for happy hour. Alix-If you could give somebody one piece of nutrition advice to change their eating habits, what would it be? Gosh, it is hard to pick one thing to focus on but I would say make sure you're getting enough fiber. This will ensure … [Read more...]
