Let’s Get Festive: Quarantine Style

While most of us won't be attending company holiday parties or large gatherings like we're used to, we can still make the most of this festive time of year. We are currently in lock down and our events have been cancelled until at least the middle of December but I think it's so important to have things to look forward to right now and the holidays are always magical, especially with the kids! … [Read more...]

Happy Hour

I'm doing a friends "favorite things" gift exchange with a $25 limit. Any ideas? A new cookbook like this or this one, lip sleep mask, Lululemon undies, body scrub, barefoot dreams socks, diffuser oil, or SLIP hair ties would all make great gifts! Is there a brand you recommend for supplements? Supplements are not regulated by the FDA so you want to make sure they are third party … [Read more...]

Maintaining Your Weight During the Winter: 10 Ways to Increase your Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)

There is a common misconception that exercise is where you burn the majority of our calories throughout the day. You actually burn the most calories over the course of the day while you're at rest (ex. sleeping, working, or sitting down). Crazy, huh? Well, it's because the body requires a significant number of calories just to keep you alive. Basic functions like breathing, digesting and … [Read more...]

Elevate Your Thanksgiving Tablescape

With Thanksgiving only a little over a week away, I thought I'd share some inspiration ideas to elevate your tablescape this year. It doesn't need to be anything over the top and expensive.. adding candles, napkin rings, and glassware is the perfect way to accent your table.

Happy Hour

My friend is hosting Thanksgiving dinner. What would be a good hostess gift to bring besides wine? The best thing I ever received was this Jo Malone hand soap for my guest washroom or a really nice diffuser (I have received compliments on both of these every single time someone uses our bathroom). I also love a candle.. I know, it's so basic but a GOOD one will be appreciated. This one is … [Read more...]

Fleece Lined Leggings for Winter: Save vs. Splurge

I've been sharing a lot of my winter workout gear on the blog lately (here and here ICYMI) and there was a special request for a post on fleece lined leggings at different budgets. I never owned a pair of fleece lined leggings (or maybe didn't even know they existed?!) until I moved to Seattle...obviously I was still wearing shorts in the winter in California lol. I soon learned that fleece … [Read more...]

Get Holiday Cozy with Aerie

Jackson and I ventured to the mall last week and seeing all of the holiday decor, hearing the Christmas music, and smelling the Bath and Body works candles really put me in the spirit of the holidays. After getting him a new skateboard (the newest obsession) and a lollipop to keep him happy, we wandered into Aerie and I didn't see an item I didn't want to buy. But most of all, I couldn't help but … [Read more...]

October Favorites

H E A T H E R Plaid Shackets: This one shouldn't be a surprise if you look at our Insta feed, I'm in plaid 99% of the time. I love a regular plaid shirt but a shacket takes it to the next level because it can be worn as a jacket and layers perfectly during October and November. Can't get enough of these and constantly on the hunt for my next one.. I just ordered this one because it's always … [Read more...]
