why parasites could be a missing piece in your health journey

why parasites could be a missing piece in your health journey Sharing my parasite cleansing journey and some of the things that helped. If you’re interested in downloading my parasites freebie , check it out here! If this topic grosses you out, please feel free to skip this post and I’ll see ya tomorrow! Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing week so far. Earlier this week, Kristi and I had a fun photo shoot, I recorded a couple of podcast interviews, and I’m here trying to batch as much as I can before we leave for our trip. I can’t wait!! So, I hope you’ve had breakfast already because I’m chatting about parasites today. If this topic makes you squeamish, I get it. It freaked me out for a long time! Please keep in mind that this isn’t medical advice – I’m just sharing my experience. When I first started learning about parasites, I had no idea they could be affecting my energy, digestion, immune system, and even my mood. It wasn’t until I personally went through a...

Smudge-Proof Beauty: The Benefits of Black Tubing Mascara

Image
Smudge-Proof Beauty: The Benefits of Black Tubing Mascara Okay, real talk—how often have you checked your makeup in the mirror only to spot mascara smudged under your eyes like a raccoon? It’s the worst, especially when you’ve put effort into your look and want it to last. If you’re tired of mascara that flakes, smears, or vanishes halfway through the day, it’s time to know black tubing mascara . This little beauty gem is a total game-changer. It stays put, holds your curl, and comes off like magic with no raccoon eyes involved. What Is Black Tubing Mascara? Regular mascara works by coating your lashes with pigment, which is usually waxes, oils, and dyes, to make them look darker and fuller. The problem is that the same formula can smudge, flake, or run when your eyes water or your skin gets oily. Tubing mascara works differently. Instead of painting your lashes, it uses a special polymer-based formula that wraps around each lash to form tiny, tube-like “shells.” These little tube...

Easy Ways To Transition From Vacation to Home Life

Image
Easy Ways To Transition From Vacation to Home Life Vacations are fun, relaxing, and filled with incredible memories. But returning home can feel like a crash back into reality. There’s a better way to ease into this adjustment. Thoughtful strategies will bring you balance, comfort, and a little bit of that vacation bliss into your routine. Here are some easy ways to transition from vacation to home life . Unpack Promptly and Purposefully Unpacking right away is a chore, but it helps you snap into your routine faster. Break unpacking into small tasks so it feels manageable. First, sort through your clothes. Toss dirty items into the laundry, and put clean ones back in the closet. Move on to toiletries or electronics, and return each to its rightful place. If you brought home souvenirs, find locations in your space where they can shine. A beautiful scarf could go over a chair, or kitchen spices can inspire your next meal. Knocking out this task clears physical and mental clutter, le...

Spring smoothie date

Spring smoothie date A lil spring chat with my friends out there and sharing some exciting news. Hiiiii! How are you? I hope that your day is going well and that you had a lovely weekend. It’s been a while since we’ve had a smoothie or coffee date around here, so I’d love to catch up! (in real life, it would be a fresh smoothie, not a bottled smoothie but let’s just go with it) Let’s grab a smoothie, and catch up a little. If we were having a smoothie date…. I’d want to know how you’re doing. Like, REALLY doing. How are the kids? How are you feeling? Are you stressed about May-cember and end of school stuff, or doing ok? I’d want to know if you’ve taken any new workout classes, tried any new restaurants, and I’d love hearing all the details about upcoming vacations and summer plans. I’d tell you that I’m so relieved that we started homeschooling P. I was SO stressed about it and put a ton of pressure on myself, which is why I didn’t consider this possibility earlier, but she’s ...

Bedtime Stretches for Relaxation

Image
Bedtime Stretches for Relaxation Okay, let’s talk about bedtime stretches and moving your body! When I was cleared to work out after Liv’s birth, I couldn’t wait to get back into sweaty interval training. Finding my personal max and soaked in sweat sounded like a dream to me. After P’s birth, I couldn’t wait to Orangetheory and Spin again. (Hopefully, I’ll be back at OTF in the next few weeks as my hand gets stronger!) After my most recent hiatus, I had one thing on my mind: yoga. Yogaaaaaaa. I was craving a fiercely heated room, finding my way into familiar poses, and soaking it all in during savasana. I still haven’t been able to take a class -push-up and plank feel great but I’m not quite ready for a full practice- but I’ve been incorporating bits of yoga into my daily life . Maybe it’s a reminder to stay in the present moment (instead of rushing through the “what-ifs” in my brain), or a few deep breaths to center myself. It might be a quick flow with Liv (she’s a big yoga fan...

180: Finding joy in motherhood

180: Finding joy in motherhood A couple of weeks ago, Chappell Roan said something that stuck with me. “My friends with small kids are in hell.” I have a lot of thoughts about it and figured I’d share in this week’s podcast episode. How can you find joy in motherhood with obstacles and negative messaging? I talk about negativity in the online space, some of the many reasons why moms are struggling, how we can support our mama friends, looking for glimmers, and more. I’d love to hear your thoughts, too! 180: Finding joy in motherhood Partners: Check out We Feed Raw! Maisey goes crazy for this! I use it as a topper for her kibble or mix it into her pup loaf.

I hope you’re having an amazing one! I’m teaching a barre class and looking forward to the Pilot coming home. He’s been doing airline training (again since he’s back in commercial after retiring from the military) and it’s been a little chaotic around here. For today’s post, I wanted to share this updated Pvolve post. I’ve fallen back in love with P.volve after quite a few years, love their rebranding, and am so excited to see studios pop up over the US.  Pvolve is an excellent challenging workout without being too high impact or intense, especially if you’re on a healing journey.

Our homeschool curriculum

Our homeschool curriculum Sharing more about P’s homeschool curriculum and how we structure our days. For more about why we decided to homeschool, check out this post. Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having a wonderful morning. I have a couple of client calls today, homeschool fun, and we’re going to take an afternoon hike. What are you up to? For today’s post, I wanted to chat more about how we structure our days now that we’re in week 3 of homeschooling. It’s worth mentioning here that every day is different and these are just boxes we check each day. The beauty of homeschool is that it’s flexible. It takes far less time than traditional school, and you have the freedom to pause, change things, or move things around, depending on what’s going on. It’s also worth mentioning here that I’m NOT an expert and have minimal experience in this area. I’m the newb of the newbies and am seriously figuring this out as we go. I’m so so thankful that there are homeschool experts out...
