9.11 Friday Faves

9.11 Friday Faves Hiiii! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We have a family dinner, Liv and I have a volunteer event for NCL, and I’m subbing a barre class. I hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend ahead! Some pics from lately: Lola in the dryer…. (Whenever I do laundry, she runs into the laundry room to hunt for more socks to eat. She’s eaten two.. that we know of. So, I’ve been watching her like even more of a hawk than usual. This dog, I tell ya.) A javi sighting!! We always say it’s good luck when we see javelina, and one night driving home, we saw 12! We sat in our cars and watched them eat for a while. Fishing with the fam at Tanque Verde Ranch. EJ was the only one who caught a fish (a tiny one!) but it was a very exciting moment. Pool day with P and a friend at La Paloma: For now, i’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, to...

The Napkin Fold That Makes a Dinner Table Look Considered

The Napkin Fold That Makes a Dinner Table Look Considered There is a moment, just before guests sit down, when a table either looks arranged or looks assembled. The plates are the same in both cases. The glasses are the same. What usually separates the two is the napkin — the one element most of us treat as an afterthought and drop beside the fork on the way to the kitchen. It is a small thing that carries a surprising amount of weight. A folded napkin is the only object on the table that shows a decision was made. Everything else has to be there; the napkin has to be placed . Why the napkin became the finishing touch The habit is older than the dinner party. In sixteenth-century European courts, folding linen was a genuine craft, closer to sculpture than to housekeeping, and elaborate folds were part of the spectacle of a banquet. By the nineteenth century the display had calmed down into something more practical, and the fold shrank to a manageable set of shapes that a household ...

Where Most Women Are Getting Their Daily Online Entertainment Fix

Where Most Women Are Getting Their Daily Online Entertainment Fix Most modern women are getting their daily online entertainment fix from streaming sites like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video alongside short-form social media video content on Instagram or TikTok. True crime podcasts are also a major trend, and many also enjoy interactive online entertainment like slot games on online casinos or mobile gaming. For many modern women, the daily fix of online entertainment has moved away from traditional television and print media toward interactive, on-demand online experiences. Although social media and streaming services remain the dominant choice across the board, there’s been a growing portion of women turning to online gaming and virtual casinos like jackpot city south Africa for their daily online entertainment. The Modern Migration To Online Interactive Spaces The modern digital evolution and advancements in mobile technology have made online entertainment extremely accessib...

9.4 Friday Faves

9.4 Friday Faves Hiiii! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? The Pilot is home from a trip (YAY), and we’re just hanging out this long weekend. We’ve been traveling a ton lately (and were honestly looking forward to another short trip this weekend!) but I’m looking forward to a low-key weekend at home with the crew. Our friends are having a housewarming party, we’re going to see the new Spiderman movie and the kids are planning on swimming with friends. I’d love to hear what you’re up to! (Fun Farm Rio skirt from my last RTR shipment! ) I owe you guys a huge update, but I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on my new coaching program. I’m completely revamping everything, adding in new support options and layers, and can’t wait to share it with you. For now, i’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 lovi...

Myra Ahmad and the Health Entrepreneur’s Case Against One-Size-Fits-All Medicine

Myra Ahmad and the Health Entrepreneur’s Case Against One-Size-Fits-All Medicine Before Myra Ahmad was a founder, she was a researcher trying to answer a clinical question: why do patients with obesity keep failing to get the care they need? That research, conducted during her MD at the University of Washington School of Medicine and through positions at MIT’s Koch Institute and UCSF, is where her case against one-size-fits-all medicine actually starts. The company came later, as the applied answer to a diagnosis she’d already reached. What she found in that research was structural. Patients with obesity were bouncing between bariatric surgeons, endocrinologists, and primary care providers. None of them were treating the underlying disease. “Our healthcare system is optimized for billing codes rather than clinical outcomes,” she has said. “Patients bounce from specialist to specialist, yet no one seems to ‘own’ their care.” That’s a clinical observation before it...

Whole Foods Red Lentil Dal Soup (copycat recipe)

Whole Foods Red Lentil Dal Soup (copycat recipe) Sharing my version of the amazing Whole Foods red lentil dal soup, which is one of my very favorites. It’s gluten-free, dairy free, and a plant-based source of protein and nutrients.  Hi friends! How’s the week going so far? I’m in content creation mode for something new I’m working on and doing the usual school and sports scramble with the crew. Fall is officially in the air (jk it’s going to be like 100 here until November) but I like the pretend with a cozy bowl of soup. I have a mental list of quick grab-and-go meals that I can swoop in a pinch, are healthy, and that I really enjoy. Thankfully, Tucson has a lot of amazing healthy restaurants , which makes it pretty easy. If I find myself in a bind and hangry in between picking up kids and running errands, it’s nice to know I have some faves I can easily pick up. Whole Foods Red Lentil Dal Soup (copycat recipe) This is one of my favorite easy healthy pickup meal optio...
