Why You’re Still Inflamed Even Though You’re “Doing Everything Right”

Why You’re Still Inflamed Even Though You’re “Doing Everything Right” Sharing some thoughts on why you might still be inflamted, even if you’re doing all the things. Hi friends! How are you? I hope that your morning is going well. I have a podcast interview, a dentist appointment, and a discovery call this afternoon for a potential new client. Today, I wanted to talk about a hot topic. This has been coming up a lot in DMs, with clients, even in conversations with friends: “I feel like I’m doing everything right… why do I still feel inflamed?” And I get it, because I’ve been there too. And honestly have been there very recently myself, and it’s annoying lol. You’re eating clean, working out, taking your supplements, trying to stay on top of everything… and your body still feels off. Maybe it’s bloating, low energy, stubborn weight, or just that overall “blah” feeling you can’t quite explain. It’s frustrating, especially when you’re putting in so much effort. Here are some of the ...

Cured Nutrition Serenity Gummies Review (Do They Actually Work for Stress + Sleep?)

Cured Nutrition Serenity Gummies Review (Do They Actually Work for Stress + Sleep?) Sharing a full review of the Cured Nutrition Serenity Gummies and if I think they’re worth it. You can use the code GINAH here for free shipping! Hi friends! I hope your week is off to a great start and hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I’m excited to share something with you that I’ve added to my routine that’s been quite a gamechanger. Earlier this year, my nervous system was in a rough spot. We had just gotten Lola (our wild cute crazy puppy), it was right after the holidays, and I was deep in that tired but wired phase. Even when she was sleeping, I was lying in bed wide awake because I knew we had to take her out every couple of hours. It honestly felt like having a newborn again. Add in some behind-the-scenes life stress, and my brain just refused to turn off at night. I’d hit the pillow exhausted, but instead of falling asleep, I’d just lay there thinking about everything. For someone ...

Microcement: What It’s Really Like to Live With It

Microcement: What It’s Really Like to Live With It Microcement looks brilliant in photos. Clean walls, smooth floors, and no grout lines anywhere. Proper modern. That’s usually what pulls people in. Then the questions start. Is it durable? Will it crack? Is it worth the money? If you’ve been looking into Microcement , you’ve probably seen both glowing reviews and horror stories. The truth is, both exist. It depends on how it’s done. Why everyone’s suddenly talking about it You’ll see microcement everywhere now. Kitchens, bathrooms, even full house floors. The main appeal is simple. No joins. No grout. Just one continuous surface. It makes smaller spaces feel bigger and cleaner. Especially in places like London flats or compact homes where every bit of space matters. It also works over existing surfaces. Tiles, concrete, plasterboard. That saves time. And mess. What it actually feels like underfoot People expect it to feel cold and industrial. Like walking on bare concrete. It’s n...

4.17 Friday Faves

4.17 Friday Faves Hi friends! Happy Friday! What do you have going on this weekend? I’m being *fun mom* today with a school event and taking Liv and her friends to the fair, and the rest of the weekend we have NOTHING. Last weekend was wild, so I’m pumped to have some downtime to catch up on work and lounge by the pool. I’d love to hear what you’re up to! Some pics from lately: Our friends had a Mustache and Wig party that was super fun. I was hoping the Pilot would shave the stache after this, but alas… it is still here. It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below. 4.17 Friday Faves Fashion, beauty, random: Korean skincare!

Beginner strength training mistakes I made (so you don’t have to)

Beginner strength training mistakes I made (so you don’t have to) Sharing a list of those “live and learn” kinda moments. Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful morning. I have a couple of appointments today and then it’s the mom uber shuffle later this afternoon. Today, I wanted to chat about something that comes up all the time with clients and in DMs, especially from women who are just getting started with strength training: “I’m working hard at the gym, but I’m not seeing results.” I feel this in my soul, because I’ve definitely been there. When I first started my fitness journey, I was super motivated, consistent… and also making quite a few mistakes that were slowing my progress way down. The tricky part is that a lot of these mistakes are things we’ve been taught to do (especially as women in the early 2000s fitness era… anyone else remember hours on the elliptical? I used to prop my textbook on the elliptical and *study* as a I pedaled my little heart out) Today I w...

High Volume Low Calorie Recipes

High Volume Low Calorie Recipes Sharing a roundup of high volume low calorie recipes if your goal is to increase your fiber but not your total caloric intake.  Hi friends! How are you?? I hope that you’re having an amazing week! I’m busy with client calls today and hoping to sneak in a Peloton work. Has anyone gotten rid of their Peloton membership and continued to ride the bike without the classes? I’m debating it because I have SO many fitness subscriptions. Today, I wanted to re-share this updated post about volume eating and share some of my favorite recipes that are high in volume and flavor, but still light and refreshing. Ever finish a meal and feel like you barely ate? You’re not alone. When you’re trying to eat a little lighter, hunger can sneak up fast. That’s why I love high volume, low calorie recipes. You can eat generous portions that leave you feeling full and satisfied, without overdoing it on calories and feeling like you need a nap afterwards. Whether you’re wo...
