3.20 Friday Faves

3.20 Friday Faves Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a lovely one! We escaped for some beach time, Kleiger fam time and cooler weather in San Diego – it was perfect. The week ended with a little golf tournament fun with friends, an afternoon at the pool, and watching the Wildcats win! I’d love to hear what you have going on! It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup. I always love hearing about your faves from the week and around the web, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below. 3.20 Friday Faves Fashion, beauty, random: San Diego!! We hopped on a non-rev flight and had two FULL days in one of our favorite places. We landed by 7am (WHEW) and were in the Better Buzz drive thru by 8:15. Not.too.shabby. We also got gluten-free donuts and pastries from Phatties and they were everything. A little on the dense side (which I honestly love) and so fresh and sweet. We’ll definitely be back! We knew we’d have a while until o...

Shower and Bath Rituals That Support, Not Strip, Dry Skin

Shower and Bath Rituals That Support, Not Strip, Dry Skin Creating a shower and bath ritual turns an ordinary part of your day into a rejuvenating experience for your mind and body. Cleansing your skin on a daily basis gives it a quick refresh. But it’s also important to avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils. Using these tips will help you build a ritual that supports healthy skin. You’ll also find that your vitamin C skincare products work best when you include them in your new bathing ritual. Build a Ritual That Includes Multiple Skin-Nourishing Steps Focusing too heavily on the shower or bath can cause you to overlook several important skincare steps. For instance, you’ll want to leave time in your ritual to use a gentle facial cleanser. Including enough time to moisturize your skin after you dry off is also important for replenishing any lost oils. Although some showers might be rushed on days you’re running late, moisturizing your skin should only take a few minutes....

201: Sleep Tips That Actually WORK | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Meal Timing & More

201: Sleep Tips That Actually WORK | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Meal Timing & More Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I’m talking about one of my all-time favorite topics: sleep! This is a solo episode where I’m walking you through the exact checklist I use with my own clients when we’re troubleshooting sleep. Because here’s the thing: when we fix sleep, so much else starts to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, mood, energy, body composition; it all connects back to how well you’re resting at night. Whether you’re a new mom running on fumes, someone who wakes up at 1am and can’t fall back asleep, or just someone who never feels truly rested, this episode is for you. 201: Sleep Tips That Actually WORK | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Meal Timing & More Here’s what we chat about: The power of morning sunlight and why getting outside first thing is a game-changer Why most people are taking the wrong type of magnesium — and what to look for i...

AI for health coaches workshop

AI for health coaches workshop Sharing the details on a free workshop I’m hosting all about using AI for health coaches. If you’re a fello health coach and stuck with the behind-the-scenes systems, content creation, and copy, you can use AI to streamline your systems and make a huge difference in your business. Hi friends! I hope you’re having an amazing week! We took off for a little getaway to San Diego. It’s so fun to see our Kleiger fam and enjoy some beach time. I’ll share some pics and adventures in Friday Faves! For today’s post, I wanted to share something I’m doing for my fellow health coaches: a free AI for health coaches workshop. One of my missions for 2026 is to serve and support my health coach friends. I know SO many new health coaches who have the knowledge and passion, but aren’t quite sure how to run an online business or how to get started. It’s my goal to help as many as possible this year, by offering free resources like my health coach starter kit , and then pa...

Disney Fantasy Cruise Nassau and Lookout Cay

Disney Fantasy Cruise Nassau and Lookout Cay Sharing a recap of Disney cruise #1! Disney Fantasy to Nassau and Lookout Cay. Check out all of my top Disney Cruise tips in this post . Hi friends! Happy Monday! How are you? I hope you’re having a wonderful start to the week. The kids are off for spring break (bless it) and we’re looking forward to planting all the things – the weather has been gorgeous – in addition to pool time with friends. We wanted to take a big trip but P said she was, “traveled out” (does such a thing exist?!) but after giving her some days to chill, we’ll probably go to San Diego for a night or two. Today, I wanted to share a recap of our latest Disney Cruise. It was lucky #7 and it was an amaaaazing one. I never thought I’d be a *cruise person* but here we are. I LOVE IT. It’s a great opportunity to see parts of the world with your kiddos without having to schlep your stuff to multiple hotels. You have the same hub each night, with entertainment, food, and love...

The Senior Cat Checklist: Changes After Age 10 and How to Support

The Senior Cat Checklist: Changes After Age 10 and How to Support Ten is the age most veterinarians use as the unofficial threshold for “senior cat.” It’s not a cliff, as plenty of ten-year-old cats are energetic, playful, and in excellent health. But it is a meaningful marker, because the decade that follows tends to bring gradual shifts that are much easier to manage when you see them coming than when you’re reacting to them after the fact. This isn’t a doom-and-gloom list. Most of what changes after ten is manageable with some adjustments to routine, environment, and how closely you’re paying attention. Here’s what to expect, and what to actually do about it. Their Metabolism Slows Down — and Weight Becomes a More Active Conversation Younger cats can often eat freely without much consequence. That changes with age. Senior cats burn fewer calories at rest, and the muscle mass that helps regulate metabolism gradually decreases over time, a process that affects cats just as it doe...
