My 40th Birthday Weekend Recap

It finally happened. I turned 40 last week and spent a few days celebrating and relaxing in Palm Springs with my husband.

We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Rancho Mirage. We stayed here for Kinsley’s baby moon a few years … [Read more...]

Notes From My Naturopath

I saw a naturopath a few weeks ago and have implemented some changes to help with my hormones (trying to regulate my period). We are also working on ways to lower my LDL cholesterol and glucose levels. My HA1C and fasting blood glucose are technically in a normal range, but if the labs were one of my clients we would be talking about it.

5 Things That Recharge Me in the Cold, Wet Months

Sauna 3x a Week I am much more easily convinced to sauna during the cold, winter months for obvious reasons.. not only does it have so many health benefits (especially when done consistently) but it warms me from the inside out and rejuvinates me for a more productive day. I typically like to sauna first thing after a morning workout before tackling the to do list as I find it really … [Read more...]

I’m looking to update some patio furniture. Ideally two comfy chairs with a little table in the middle to hang out on while sitting on my porch. I like this set and this set! I’m trying to get healthy before I turn 40! I drink a glass of wine pretty much every night. Is there a better for me alternative? What are your go to healthy cocktails?
